  • Endthewarondrugs
    #EndTheWarOnDrugs April 9, 2013 President Barack H. Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, Your hard work and leadership on issues affecting the unrepresented classes of people in our nation have served as an inspiration to many of us who hope for brighter futures for all Americans. In that spirit, we believe the time is right to further the work you have done around revising our national policies on the criminal justice system and continue moving from a suppression-based model to one that focuses on intervention and rehabilitation. We are proud of your accomplishments around these issues, specifically your leadership on gun control, your investments in "problem solving courts," your creation of the Federal Interagency Reentry Council, your launching the National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention and your prosecution of a record number of hate crimes in 2011 and 2012. We certainly hope that this type of leadership is appreciated by all members of Congress, regardless of political affiliation, and you are joined by members of all parties in your pursuit of a more perfected union. Mr. President, it is evident that you have demonstrated a commitment to pursue alternatives to the enforcement-only "War on Drugs" approach and address the increased incarceration rates for non-violent crimes. Your administration has moved in the right direction by committing increased funds to drug prevention and treatment programs and supporting state and local re-entry grants. We encourage you to continue your efforts to revamp the policies of the last 30 years that have seen the prison population skyrocket.

    FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

  • "What Exactly Do You Mean by 'Culture'?" Using Films in the Intercultural Communication Classroom
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 396 353 CS 509 290 AUTHOR Varey, Kim Y. TITLE "What Exactly Do You Mean by 'Culture'?" Using Films in the Intercultural Communication Classroom. PUB DATE May 96 NOTE 21p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the International Communication Association (46th, Chicago, IL, May 23-27, 1996). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Guides Classroom Use Teaching Guides (For Teacher) (052) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Classroom Techniques; Cross Cultural Training; *Cultural Context; Cultural Differences; *Film Study; Higher Education; *Instructional Innovation; Instructional Materials; *Intercultural Communication; Student Needs; *Subcultures IDENTIFIERS *Communication Context; Cultural Studies ABSTRACT Anyone who teaches or has taken a course in intercultural communication inevitably faces the task of defining culture. The purpose of this paper is to provide examples and suggestions for using film segments to help students understand some of the conceptual components of culture using different perspectives than those to which they may be accustomed. Many students almost automatically equate intercultural communication with interactions between people from different countries. While much research does focus on cultures from various countries, students should also be aware of co-cultures and counter cultures that exist within their own country. Film segments featuring persons with disabilities, inner city runaways, gangs, the gay and lesbian community, and the elderly, for example, can help cast a different perspective for students on what constitutes "culture." Using film, supported by literature discussing various co-cultures, can be very fruitful for introductory or conclusionary discussions of culture as well as throughout the course when discussing elements such as nonverbal communication, stereotypes, and cultural adaptation.

  • Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - the AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION
    AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA CINEMA AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA The history of the African-American Cinema is a harsh timeline of racism, repression and struggle contrasted with film scenes of boundless joy, hope and artistic spirit. Until recently, the study of the "separate cinema" (a phrase used by historians John Kisch and Edward Mapp to describe the segregation of the mainstream, Hollywood film community) was limited, if not totally ignored, by writers and researchers. The uphill battle by black filmmakers and performers, to achieve acceptance and respect, was an ugly blot on the pages of film history. Upon winning his Best Actor Oscar for LILLIES OF THE FIELD (1963), Sidney Poitier accepted, on behalf of the countless unsung African-American artists, by acknowledging the "long journey to this moment." This emotional, heartbreaking and inspiring journey is vividly illustrated by the latest acquisition to the Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION. The valuable research material, housed in this collection, includes over 300 pressbooks (illustrated campaign and advertising catalogs sent to theatre owners), press kits (media packages including biographies, promotional essays and illustrations), programs and over 1000 photographs and slides. The journey begins with the blatant racism of D.W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a film respected as an epic milestone, but reviled as the blueprint for black film stereotypes that would appear throughout the 20th century. Researchers will follow African-American films through an extended period of stereotypical casting (SONG OF THE SOUTH, 1946) and will be dazzled by the glorious "All-Negro" musicals such as STORMY WEATHER (1943), ST.LOUIS BLUES (1958) and PORGY AND BESS (1959).

  • Hollywood and Higher Learning
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1996 Volume III: Race and Representation in American Cinema Hollywood and Higher Learning Curriculum Unit 96.03.12 by Deborah E. Hare This curriculum has been developed for use in high schools as a way to prepare students for college. It is specifically designed for grades 9-12 with a particular focus on 11th graders. I have picked four films for students to view and analyze, and have developed guidelines and questions for thoughtful viewing. The unit also will present some biographical information about the filmmakers (in particular John Singleton and Spike Lee) and some of the early reviews of their controversial films. My unit focuses on films that show college life, both fictionally and in documentary form. Since preparing for college is a major focus in my junior level classes I will use this curriculum with my 11th grade English class as part of our “getting ready for college” unit. I explain what an important year 11th grade is for my students, and I stress that it is not too late for them to do the necessary things to get accepted into college. I will use this unit early in the year, from the middle of September until late November. My aim is to use Hollywood as a way to pump my students up about college, especially marginal students who may not visualize themselves going to college at all. This year I showed Men at Morehouse , a documentary about Morehouse College. It talked about preparing young black men to be leaders in their community, and it showed how Spelman (Morehouse’s sister school) prepares its female students to be strong leaders as well.
