The document analyzes Michael Jackson's 1991 music video for "Black or White" and discusses how it conveyed deeper messages about race in America at the time. It notes that the video was released during debates around the Civil Rights Act of 1991 and the Rodney King beating. While portraying a message of racial unity on the surface, an analysis of the lyrics and imagery suggests Jackson intended to pass commentary on ongoing social and political issues regarding race. Certain scenes and symbols, like the appearance of black panthers, represented resistance and empowerment for black communities. The video demonstrated that artistic works could communicate an artist's views on important social and political issues of the day.Michael Jackson - Black or White analysis

Vladimir Propp studied hundreds of Russian folktales and identified common narrative structures and character types that appear across stories. He observed that narratives are shaped by specific character functions and actions, and identified 31 possible stages or "functions" that stories may include in a fixed sequence, such as a hero, villain, dispatcher, donor, and helper. Todorov also analyzed narrative structure and proposed stories begin with an equilibrium, experience a disruption, and conclude with the restoration of a new equilibrium.Film FM2 December homework

The document defines representation as the mediated presentation of people, things, ideas, places, etc. by the media. It discusses how representation involves describing or depicting something to call it up in the mind. Representation is a constructed process that involves selection, organization, and focusing of content by the media to direct the audience's attention in a certain way. This process of mediation is how representations are formed to present a version of reality rather than reality itself.1. Collective I.D. lessons

To kill a mocking bird - themes

To Kill A Mocking Bird (Robert Mulligan, 1962#) Racism/ Racial Intolerance/ Racial Inequality (Bigotry), Justice and the Law, Perspective (Being in someone elses shoes), Moral Courage/ Bravery, Ethics (knowing right from wrong) Racism/ Racial Intolerance/ Racial Inequality (Bigotry) Obviously, racism is a major theme of the novel. During the Depression era, blacks were still highly subjugated members of society. Blacks were not permitted to commingle with whites in public settings, as exemplified in the courthouse physical separation of races and in the clearly distinct black and white areas of town. Moreover, things like intermarriage were almost unheard of, and sorely looked down upon. Atticus and his closing speech (break down) The segregation present in the courthouse Scout and Dill also sit with the black citizens of the town in the balcony of the court house to observe the trial Calpurnia cook Bob Ewell refers to Tom as a nigger/ Atticus uses the word Negro or Black The mockingbird comes to represent true goodness and purity. Tom Robinson is one example of a human "mockingbird". He stands accused of raping and beating Mayella Ewell, but is innocent of the charges. The town commits the ultimate sin by finding him guilty and sentencing him to death. In effect, they have killed a mockingbird. The jury find Tome guilty simply because he is a black man and his accuser is white.The evidence is so powerfully in his favor, that race is clearly the single defining factor in the jury's decision. Scout asks Atticus if he defends niggers The children in school tease Scout Justice and the Law Boo is never handed in for the murder of Bob Ewell Although Atticus loses the trial, he believes strongly that despite social inequalities, all men are equal in the courtroom Perspective (Being in someone elses shoes) Scout tries to relate to the Cunninghams position (relaying what happened in school to Atticus, Atticus tells her You never really understand and person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it. Scout says that standing on the Radleys porch was enough meaning she could see the town from Boos perspective Scout asks Mr Cunningham about his entailment Moral Courage/ Bravery Atticus takes on Toms case even though he knows the town will be against him (Herculean task - requires tremendous effort, strength) Atticus is brave to defend a black man in the face of criticism and threats of violence when facing the mob of men outside the jailhouse. Atticus doesnt react to Bob Ewellto Atticus, withholding violence is one of the highest forms of bravery. Bob Ewell represents the greatest cowardice, as he both lies in the courtroom to protect himself and resorts to attacking children in the darkness in order to make himself feel more of a man.
