Cinematypes

What the author does is describe her experiences with different kinds of people then describing how she feels with herself. Toth classifies her dates depending on what movie styles her dates like to watch, how they get to the movie theater, their behavior once in the movie theater and finally what happens when the movie is done. I laughed with this story because she was not pleased with any of the dates. Some of them were really cheap, other were so into the movie that they forgot she was there and others expressed no affection whatsoever. I believe that if you have a date that is somehow different from you something always happens that you end up not having so much fun. The best of all was the third guy. He was kind, treated her like a princess and paid for everything but guess what he had a girlfriend and that made it the worst one. The most important message of this reading was that you will always feel good with yourself no matter the circumstances. She describes, at the end, how she feels of accompanying herself to any place and how she can do what she wants without worrying about what others think of her.

What is culture? Is is important?

In my opinion, culture is a very important part that all humans have which helps each of us define where do we come from and who were our ancestors. Culture is basically a system of knowledge that is shared by a large number of people. Culture refers to deposit of, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, religion, and spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a country or large group of people. It is the way of life of a group of people including the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept. Culture is the sum of total of the learned behavior of a group of people that are generally considered to be the tradition of that people and are transmitted from generation to generation. I strongly believe that having a culture is an essential part of our lives because if we do not have one, we basically have no identity.

Research Paper

I am in the process of finding the new information to tie it up with what I had already from essay number three. Like I said, my paper will be about abortion and I am pretty frustrated because there is a lot of information and I want to find something interesting to catch the reader's attention. I will not say that I changed my mind over this issue but I will say that I see the other point as a valid one because of everything they believe. I agree that even though it is a women's choice it is very cruel to kill a baby and at the end an abortion is worst than having the actual baby. On one of the articles I found on the school's database, I came across one that really catched my attention. It was basically talking about the effects after having the abortion and the actual procedure. It even talks about all the possibilities that there are to affect a mother's health over choosing this as an option. It goes further explaining that getting an abortion is traumatizing a person for the rest of their lives because believe it or not, that mother will always have in her mind what she did.

Whale Rider Movie Reaction

When I first heard the title of this movie and the fact that it was about ancient myths I thought it was going to be the most boring movie ever. I changed my mind after watching the first fifteen minutes of the movie because the plot was very well defined. The fact that Paikea was not the boy that Old Paka wanted to be leader made it interesting because throughout the movie you can see how much affection Pai felt for Koro. Even though he denied his granddaughter she always found a way to impress him and make him realize that even though she was a girl, she had the potential to become the next leader of the tribe. She breaks the rules and hides to listen to Koro's lessons about how to use the taiaha and what prayers to learn. She goes beyond and finds the whale tooth that none of the boys was able to find and at the end shows her grandfather that even though she was not a boy she had the heart of a leader. Her nanny and her uncle Rawiri do everything and help her achieve her goal, they even go against Old Paka. I like it because even though Paka hide his emotions you could see he loved her but he also loved his beliefs and could not go against them without divine proof. I learned from this movie that you can achieve anything as long as you put your heart and faith to it.

New Ideas

In my opinion, I believe that new ideas happen for a reason. New ideas come to us to solve problems, to change the way we see the world and to explain why things are the way they are. Ideas come to us after we brainstorm looking for solutions. They also appear from knowledge and for the human interest of finding out more things. New ideas go by hand with imagination since both allow you to expand your knowledge and to see the world in a different perspective. New ideas come to us to change the way we do certain things, for example when you say: “I have a better idea, why don’t we use a calculator to verify our result when we are done?.” That idea you just thought of, is basically improving the way you do the assignment looking at the advantages it has to do it this new way. In addition I must add that new ideas come from the necessity to create something such as a solution or an answer.
