Global citizens movement

Although she does not work internationally, she is still able to make a difference that affects the whole world because she is aiming to create an environment where we can reduce our ecological footprint and make our habitat greener. She has an optimistic view, that change in ourselves can cause change in others which can result to a change in our world. I understand why she chose to focus her work locally because it is easier to create a movement where you are familiar with its customs. Furthermore, I believe she is an example of a global citizen because she recognizes the problem at hand and makes an active decision to solve the problem. Global citizenship is not limited by a person’s identity but it is defined by a person’s action towards making a difference in an environmental or social injustice. This is because in the end, the issues we encounter does not only affect ourselves, but it is a shared situation that we must all work towards…

Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 in C Sharp Minor consists of three parts with five movements. The first movement “Trauermarsch” is a funeral march, followed by “Stürmisch bewegt, mit größter Vehemenz,” “Scherzo,” “Adagietto,” and “Rondo-Finale.” The tempo markings and style of the composition seem to point toward the various stages of grief. The first movement begins with a lone trumpet solo and is followed by slow, solemn support from the orchestra. The trumpet solo is strong and triumphant,…

Music Description Langsam . Schleppend (Slowly, dragging) The first movement was in modified sonata form and started off with strings playing harmonics creating a ghostly scene and then the woodwinds play a rhythm pattern. As the piece goes on, it is obvious that Mahler is trying to recreate a nature scene in his first movement. To match the dark setting that started the movement is little bits of music that poke out. An example would be, throughout the sluggish melody an awaking would call…

Formally, the first movement of the Quintet is of considerable interest. The interest is generated not by a problem in determining the overall form, for that is clearly sonata form. Rather, it is in determining the exact location of the main sections and subsections within the sonata form. The sections which will most concern our discussion are the introductions, the exposition and the developmental section. I say introductions as plural as it appears actually be two sections of music. These two…

From the man who brought you the radio staging of “War of the Worlds,” comes his first public film “Citizen Kane.” Orson Welles stuns audiences once again with his unprecedented production. However, not all were eager for the release of this movie. William Randolph Hearst, newspaper publishing extraordinaire, was not impressed by the obvious parallels between himself and main character Charles Foster Kane. Despite Hearst’s efforts to keep “Citizen Kane” from the public, it was released on Sept.…

Introduction In spite of the nebulousness inherent in determining and measuring expertise, crowdsourcing systems in research and practice that seek to acquire distributed knowledge (e.g. citizen science) indicate a preference for expert contributors. To ensure information quality (IQ), consumers – users of data acquired from such crowdsourcing projects – implement gatekeeping strategies that vary in degree of subtleness and intentionality. These gatekeeping strategies stem from the underlying…

With appealing to authority, advertisers seek to make the potential customer feel equal to those they look up to, such as celebrities or athletes. Having Shaquille O 'Neal connected to a product, such as “Icy Hot” may make a viewer feel that if they also use the product, they can successful in the same way he is. Appeal to authority may also include professions often looked up to by society, such as doctors. Often times phrases such as “9 out of 10 doctors recommend…” are used in advertising, as…

According to Carver, by drawing attention to performativity, the film subverts heteronormativity (Carver). Butler, however, argues that the film is not subverting, but rather reinforcing heteronormativity and merely policing the boundaries of our society by portraying the main characters as an imitation of stereotypical heterosexual woman (Butler). In this essay I will argue that Wilder’s film Some Like It Hot, both reinforces and subverts heteronormativity, but most significantly provides a…

When Citizen Kane was released in 1941, it forever changed the film industry and exposed the world to a great cinematic masterpiece that used the American Dream as a foundation for it’s plot. Nearly a decade later Rashomon was released and displayed the unique aspects of Japanese cinema and the pursuit of the truth. Orson Welles and Akira Kurosawa both had clear visions of what they wanted their films to be; however, the two men took different approaches. Welles demonstrated different filming…
