This document analyzes and summarizes three movie posters:
1) The "White Elephant Poster" uses the distance between the male and female characters to reference their relationship. Their positioning in the center focuses the audience on them as the main characters.
2) The "Three Kingdoms Poster" shows the characters' status through their positioning and lighting. The text style conveys the period of the film.
3) The "Safe House Poster" divides the characters and implies a power dynamic through their space. The backgrounds give clues to their characters and the genre.
The reflection concludes that poster design can effectively communicate relationships, characters, and the film's representation and genre to attract audiences.

Propaganda was widely used during World War 1 by all participating nations. Governments created propaganda posters to justify their country's involvement in the war, recruit soldiers, raise money and resources for the military effort, and encourage conservation. Posters were an effective propaganda tool as television and widespread radio access did not yet exist. Governments often focused propaganda posters on raising money from citizens to fund the costly war. Common propaganda techniques used in posters included name-calling, one-sided presentation of facts, bandwagon appeals, testimonials, portraying the cause as for common people, transferring respect from one symbol to another, and using vague positive language.

This summary provides an overview of key ideas from a multi-paragraph document discussing Crawford's views on various topics:
- Crawford suggests that being a mindful worker involves engaging with objects that resist one's will, like working on an old Volkswagen. This can foster humility over a sense of mastery.
- He criticizes society for rushing between addictions and argues corporate interests are addicted to consumers' addictions.
- Crawford also discusses the possibility that degraded work can entail a "moral re-education" and form workers suited only for careless labor, creating a vicious cycle. He questions whether more education results in new heights of stupidity in some corporate knowledge work.
On August 21, 2003, a seasonal wildfire in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta abruptly changed direction and grew into a massive blaze. Fueled by hot, dry conditions, the fire sent up a 50-meter tall wall of flames and threw off the energy of an atomic explosion every 30 minutes. One eyewitness, Elaine Hruby, was told to evacuate her home immediately that morning. In a panic, she grabbed a few sentimental items and her pets before driving to safety. From an overlook, she watched in horror as the flames descended onto her community of Hillcrest. The 2003 Crowsnest Fire burned over 20,000 hectares and impacted the local timber industry and tourism, though some businesses like
