...movie, “Door to the Sky” by fariad Benlyazid, the ideas brought up by Nadia Guessous in her article entiltled “ ” are brought to life. Through the progression of Nadia’s character and the formation of her sense of identity, we see that the means by which one becomes an active participant in their community are grounded in the understanding of one’s individual identity. The basis of a community is the relationships created. These relationships begin when people share the save values and ideas. the development of relationships depends on being able to understand the differences in people and working together toward a common goal. Before the inception of any effective relationship there is one critical __--one’s understanding of themselves and their sense of identity. In the beginning of the movie, it is apparent that Nadia does not have a strong sense of identity. However, the materials needed to create her identity are already there. When the movie begins, and Nadia is introduced, we see the westernized Nadia juxtaposed with the traditional Moroccan backdrop. Nadia is dressed in French clothing while the other women are dressed in traditional Moraccan dress. Immediately we are shown how Nadia was changed by her experience abroad, which ultimately affects who she becomes. The conflict in Nadia’s identity comes in a contrasting scene later in the movie. Before her father’s funeral, a woman comes to Nadia with the dress she was to wear for the occasion. Her opposition to...

...Nadia couldn’t understand the villagers’ hushed conversations otherwise she would’ve known to run. Her new village, White Nile, spoke in Coptic, or the old Egyptian language which should be considered dead. But in this village it was still very much alive. Her old village, Kassala, was being turned upside down thanks to the slave trade. Nadia missed it very much, but knew she would be much safer in her new village or so she thought. It was a beautiful fall day full of leaves turning colors, temperature changing, and of children running around playing soccer. She was on the way to school and couldn’t help but smile at the whole glorious sight. When the first class of the day started Nadia performed well on the recitation of the passage from...

...employers in the English law. The law is strict and focuses clearly on the benefits a pregnant woman will get from the employer once she is expecting. The foremost important things to remember is to know your rights. Nadia is scared because she fears of losing her job once her line manager Gemma finds out about her pregnancy. The advice to Nadia is that the law is there to protect the employees from such scenarios that arise and make sure the employees reap the benefits from the laws. All women who get pregnant have certain basic legal rights which include; time off for antenatal care, leave for maternity and safeguard from dismissal,unjust treatment. Nadia’s employer is at breach with the law as she has declared that any person who wants to go for antenatal classes should go on their own time, further on she restricts the maternity leave to one month and that too without pay. Lastly, she is unfair and does not guarantee job security to the employee after her return. All this makes the employee apprehensive and wish to not get pregnant. The Employement Protection Act 1975 provides that no pregnant woman can be made redundant, dismissed from job or treated with unjust because of her pregnancy. Nadia can make a claim through employment tribunal for compensation if any of the above happens.

...One day, a patient and his wife presented to the release of information area to pick up a copy of the patient’s recent test results to take to a specialist. The patient asked Nadia for some assistance in reading the report because he was unsure of the terminology. Nadia was thrilled to help the patient. The patient had bilateral Doppler studies done on his legs to follow up from a deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Nadia was not terribly familiar with the format of the results, but she did not want the patient or her peers to know that she was not 100% sure of her interpretation. She did not see anything that looked alarming (to her), so she told the patient and his wife that as far as she could tell, everything looked normal. The patient was an avid runner and had been on bedrest since being diagnosed with the DVT. He did not have an appointment to see the vascular specialist until next week. He and his wife discussed the fact that the woman who gave them the test results interpreted them as normal and that it should be safe for him to get out and run again. The patient and his wife went out for what they planned to be a three-mile run. However, two miles into the run, the patient developed severe chest pain and shortness of breath and collapsed. His wife called for help, and he was taken to the Anytown General emergency room (ER). Soon after arrival, he was pronounced expired due to an embolism.

...characterization, symbolism and setting how a family struggles against social and economic hardship, thus placing the film in the neorealist realm of art. Visconti’s film Rocco and His Brothers, clearly depicts his message that “the key to understanding of the spiritual and psychological conflicts is always social, even if the conclusions [he] reaches are always those which concern individuals whose cases [he is] describing." The development of Visconti’s characters reveals how the brother’s reactions and their social situations determine their failure or success in life. Simone, a renowned champion boxer, earns the respect of the community and appears to be headed towards a successful life. However, his jealousy and obsession with Nadia, his greed for fame, and his increased gambling and drinking, cause his deterioration and eventual downfall. Clearly he lacks a balance in his life, which is summed up by Henry Bacon when he states that “money and economic relationships are immediately posited as a crucial factor controlling human and sexual relationships.” (P 18) Rocco also becomes a boxer; but, unlike Simone, he attempts to establish a stable healthy relationship and gain the respect of both his family and the community. Luca and Ciro, the youngest of the family, learn from the mistakes of their older brothers. They realize how to achieve a workable balance...

This paper will explain the topics we feel comfortable with, any topics the team members struggles with, and how the weekly topics relate to application in each of our fields. Steeple The topic Sherie struggled with was Steeple. “To take a closer look at the business system and ‘bigger picture' factors in which the business operates; it is useful to use a technique like the STEEPLE analysis. STEEPLE, like SWOT, is an acronym. It stands for ‘social (demographic), technological, economic, environmental (natural), political, legal and ethical’ factors” (Wickham & Wickham, 2008, p. 129). Sherie was unaware of how effective these tools are to help organizations monitor changes that take place in the environment of the organization. She learned that these tools played a significant role for any organization regardless of their products, services, and their industry. Balanced Scorecard After reading the paper by Kaplan and Norton, Timothy discovered through other readings that they are somewhat the basis for using the balanced scorecard system.

...“Isabelle Allende” While working as a translator, translating English novels to Spanish, Isabel Allende was fired for taking it upon herself to change the female protagonist to make her seem more self-sufficient, charitable, and smart. Furthermore, it comes as no surprise that several of her novels revolve around the theme of women challenging male authority. Her themes center on women’s experiences as well as magic and mysticism and stem from her own life experiences. Isabel Allende was born to father Tomas Allende, Chilean diplomat in Peru, and Francisca Llona Barrios on August 2, 1942. At age 3 her father “disappeared” and Barrios was forced to take on the role of mother and father. So she chose to relocate with her three children to Chile. This would be the first of many “homes” for Allende. In fact, she moves so much during an interview she stated, “I have been a foreigner all my life” (Sethi). However, the decision to constantly relocate was not always voluntary but rather necessary. For instance, in 1973 when she was contracted by a military coup, that had brought Augusto Pinochet to power, to help people who were on the wanted list escape. This ceased when Allende discovered her name on the list at which point she decided to flee to Venezuela where she held residence for 13 years. Even though some of her travels hold unpleasant memories one that brought her much joy was her trip to California in 1988. Here she met her second husband Willie Gordon. Allende’s first...
