Scream is a horror film that was released in 1996. Upon its release, it became an immediate box office. This movie contains some well-developed elements of a scary movie such as an evil character, murder, and sound effects. This essay will discuss how the director of the movie Scream used these three important elements to draw the attention of the viewers and keep their attention throughout the entire film. The main element in any scary movie is the evil character, who is usually the reason behind the horrifying plot. In the movie Scream, the evil character is a man who is dressed in a long black robe and wears an elongated white mask over his face. He is very plain and simple which creates more suspense because no one knows who he is. This evil character calls his targeted victims over the phone. Many times, victims think someone is making a prank call. For example, the movie opens when Casey (Drew Barrymore) receives a call from an unidentified caller. As his voice is becoming more threatening, she starts to realize that he is not only talking to her on the phone, but he is also watching her. After he calls and harasses his targeted victims over the phone, he appears in the same house and chases down his victims until he is able to successfully murder them. No one knows the killer’s identity and it creates a sense of wonder. His deep, threatening voice helps to make his plain and simple costume even scarier for the viewers. All scary movies have to have the element of death. The murders committed in the movie made it one of the scariest movies of its time. After killing his teenage victims, he usually leaves their mutilated bodies in odd places or positions. For example, after killing Casey’s boyfriend, the killer chases her into the yard. Her parents do not see her, so after the killer stabs her in the chest, he then hangs her dead body in the tree for her parents to see her. So, not only are the murders gruesome, they are also very disturbing. By chasing his victims, he creates suspense and excitement for the viewers. There were several sound effects throughout the movie, that created fear and suspense for the viewers. For example, the voice of the killer over the phone created a scary feeling; it was deep and mysterious, harsh and threatening. The use of music was also very well developed. It helped to excite the viewers and create a sense of fear. Finally, as the title indicates, “Scream”, throughout the entire film, victims scream for help, but no one comes. On the other hand, sometimes the victims cannot scream because of the way the killer stabs them. The inability to scream created an element of fear because this made the killer powerful. This movie was very well-written, directed and executed for the horror audience. The director was able to grab the viewer’s attention and hold it throughout the entire film. He created a sense of fear which is what a successful horror film about. When the film ended, it was very clear that there would be a sequel soon. By using an undefined ending, the director was abl
Starting a business is a complicated task even for experienced entrepreneurs, and financing has always been one of its first difficulties. An entrepreneur has a choice of different ways to find start-up capital, ranging from debt to equity. However, various factors, such as the level of risk and the stage of the company’s development, play an important role in deciding which source of capital to choose. This paper explains the difference between debt and equity and explicitly describes ways to find start-up money. Debt financing is one of the most common ways to fund a new venture. Taking on debt as a source of capital implies a payback with interest. An entrepreneur can choose short-term borrowing for a period of less than a year and long-term debt, which can be paid back even after five years (Kuratko, 2016). In most cases, newly established ventures incur debt from commercial banks, where the majority of bank loans are secured. However, the procedure of taking a loan requires an entrepreneur to answer several questions aimed at evaluating the risk of the venture, the term of the debt, and the ability to repay the loan. As for long-term loans, they can sometimes be provided by manufacturers (for example, if they are interested in reselling their used equipment). Another common source of loan money is peer-to-peer lending, which can be described as financing the ventures of unrelated individuals and avoiding bank formalities (Kuratko, 2016). Other common debt sources include trade credit, accounts receivable financing, factoring companies, and finance companies. Equity is a different way of financing a venture; it is a loan that does not require repaying the amount or paying interest. At the same time, this type of financing is based on partnership and requires an entrepreneur to share a part of the business and its profits with the source of funding. Such business relationships are regulated by various equity instruments, such as loans with warrants (the rights for investors to purchase stock) and convertible debentures, which are loans convertible into stock. Other partnership instruments are preferred stock, providing investors with preference among other creditors, and common stock, giving stockholders voting rights (Kuratko, 2016). Equity sources of financing include public offerings (the sal
The life and times of Pablo Picasso Born Pablo Ruiz in Malaga in 1881, Picasso received early training in arts from his father Don Jose Ruiz Blasco, an art teacher in a local school of fine arts and crafts (Cirlot, 2009). The mother, Maria Picasso Lopez, also played an important role in modeling Pablo Picasso’s career. In Malaga, Picasso spent only the first ten years of his life, but he produced his first work in the city (Cirlot, 2009). The Blasco family was not financially stable at the time, especially because Don Blasco’s salary was not enough to cater for the family. Therefore, when he was offered a better job in La Coruna, he moved with his family. Apart from Pablo, the family included two other children- Dolores (born in 1884) and Conchita (born in 1887). Here, the family lived for four years (Cirlot, 2009). By 1894, Blasco had been convinced that his son was a genius in arts after realizing the talent in him. Despite his age, Pablo was producing amazing paintings. History states that Blasco handed over his brush and palette to the young boy in 1895 and declared never to paint again. In the same year, Don Blasco became a professor of arts in the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, where he settled with his family (Cirlot, 2009). Here, Pablo Picasso enrolled as an art student and excelled in painting, which marked the long career of a 20th-century arts genius. For instance, his two famous works “The First Communion” and the “Science, and Charity” became popular in the institute as “academic oil paintings” (Cirlot, 2009). Pablo’s uncle also sponsored him to study at the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Barcelona, but Picasso decided to drop from the institute within a few months of enrollment. Pablo Picasso’s work: Examining the Genius in Picasso’s Modernism and influence on Pluralism Noteworthy, Pablo Picasso was interested in themes that reflect modern life in Barcelona and the world in general. In this way, he promoted the idea of modernism in painting. For instance, his 1901 painting “Death of Casagemas” reflects the death of Case games, his friend who committed suicide after a girl he loved denied him the love expected (Cirlot, 2009). The tragedy shocked Picasso such that he depicted the death in his painting that used blue color. In addition, he produced another painting “Evocation- the burial of Case games”. The two paintings are important in the evolution of modernism in European arts (Cirlot, 2009). They were made on canvas and reflected the stylistic influence on the paintings of the time. For instance, they were made in blue color
Introduction There are several ways in which a small brewery like Five Islands can expand beyond the region within which it operates. This answer focuses on three ways that are considered being best suitable for Five Islands. The brewery can increase its number of outlets and factories, start franchising, or do direct marketing in the new target regions. Building Additional Breweries Although it is an expensive option, constructing or buying new premises for additional outlets and factories is one of the best expansion methods the company may choose to adopt. Building additional outlets requires capital to build the new premises, transport raw materials or finished goods to the site, market, and hundreds of other costs. Franchising   * Franchising is a remarkably convincing way of capturing and keeping new customers in a new market, even if the market is in another region (Gappa 2010).   * Franchises help customers form the mental image of a brand, and how the brand can be beneficial to them in the present and in the future.   * The downside of franchising is that it does not favour a small company. This is caused by lack of sufficient knowledge about the company’s products. Direct Marketing   * The old fashioned method of direct marketing is a slow but highly reliable way of expanding to new regions.   * With direct marketing, there are no channel intermediaries.   * A good example of a company that does a direct marketing is Apple Inc. (Apple Inc. 2006). They have their own Apple Stores to sell their products.
Case Overview   * Admission Date: 9/10/2018   * Name J. D.   * DOB: 4/5/1990   * Sex: Female   * Allergies: None   * Language: English   * VS: BP 130/98, HR 74, Respirations 19, Pulse Ox 98% Chief Complaint: The patient is concerned with reoccurring hypomania episodes and depression. HPI The patient was admitted after a suicide attempt, which was interrupted by her sister. The episode followed after a prolonged depression that J.D. has had for a few weeks. She is a twenty-eight years old female of Caucasian ethnicity, well-groomed and well presented. J.D. admitted that previously she had experienced severe depression due to being fired from her job. She stated that she has reoccurring mood swings (from a state in which she feels “extremely happy and confident in herself” to being depressed for weeks, both without a particular reason). However, she stated that the condition never bothered her seriously until recently. Currently, she is melancholic, however, emphasized that she regrets trying to commit suicide. History J. D. has never been treated for a psychiatric condition; however, her sister indicated that “she has shown symptoms ever since she was a kid.” J. D. admitted to experiencing episodes of unexplained excitement followed by depression throughout her life. Recent stress could have served as a trigger to the condition, while J. D. stated that previously she had managed to “control her state on her own” thus, she did not seek treatment from a professional. The absence of the previous hospitalization indicates that J.D. experiences hypomania, which is less severe than mania and is more difficult to diagnose.   * Hx of Violence to others: Has no history of violence towards people   * Previous Treatment: No   * IOP: 0   * PHP: 0   * Previous Psychiatric Hospitalizations: 0 Social/Environmental Factors J. D. moved in with her sister about three months ago, after she was fired from her job. Her mother lives in Texas, while her father is unknown. The patient’s mother had been hospitalized due to mania episodes several times; however, they do not talk to each other; thus, she is unsure of the diagnosis. J. D. reports no history of abuse or trauma during childhood. Prior she used to work at a restaurant where she fought with a client. The patient does not admit to having a substance abuse history. Legal HX: None Developmental: No Med/Surgical HX: N/A Medications: No Labs: Reviewed Mental Status Exam: The patient is well presented, groomed, with adequate speech, and good eye contact. She denies previous mental health issues or substance abuse problems. Primary Psychiatric diagnosis: Bipolar II, reoccurring depression – DSM 296.89 Intervention Plan Current intervention plan includes medication and therapy to stabilize the state. The anticipated outcome is the ability to control mood swings and the absence of depression episodes. Fluoxetine – to minimize the effects of depression and Lithium – for mood swings control. Cognitive-behavioral therapy to help the patient manage the condition
In the current economy, education is one of the major sectors that individuals are making their investments in. This is evident from the fact that both the parents and the government are investing huge sums of money into the education sector. This has made education to be considered a long-term investment for most people. The objective is that education would result in a significant economic outcome for its recipient. Currently the global economic situation is in a recession. This has negatively affected the desired economic outcome of the education. The discussion of this paper seeks to illustrate how educational outcomes are not comparable to economic outcomes due to the current global economic situation. Ordinarily there should be a positive relationship between education outcome and the economic outcome. This means that an individual’s level of education should be proportional to his or her earnings. This is due to the fact that education is considered to be an agent that enhances economic development and growth of a particular country. In line with this the individual employees who contributed to the economic growth and development through the application of their educational skills should be proportionately rewarded. This means that there should be equity in the distribution of the economic outcomes to the individual workers (Kevin p.1). In the current economic situation, this is not the case. According to a study that was conducted in US on education by National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the survey indicated that approximately 33% of the students do not meet the intended level of competence while also 33% have just basic level of competence. It is only one-third of the students who are proficient (Kevin p.2).This depicts the education sector of the economy as being very inefficient. The repercussions of this are felt by the students in that they do not have the required competence to enable a comparable return on their investment in education. On the other hand, employees seek individuals who apart from having the educational qualification have got some peculiar skills. This may be a result of failure of the educational systems in their instructional strategies. Some of these skills are innate to an individual. This means that the individual will be productive in the firm and the employees are prepared to reward them. This is because the firms perceive a higher economic value in such an individual. This is evident in some situations where there are employees who have lower qua
Introduction The earth is one of the main eight planets that revolve around the sun on their orbits. The earth not only spins around the sun, but it also rotates on its axis, which results in days and nights. One of the most interesting features of the earth is its center. The center of the earth is known to be a solid sphere that is hot and dense, and which mainly comprises iron deposits and traces of nickel. The center of the earth is large, and it measures approximately 2400 kilometers in diameter. This is about 20% of the diameter of the earth (Cain 1). This paper describes a trip to the center of the earth as well as the features that can be observed during the trip, such as minerals, temperature, and caves. The Trip One is likely to experience a lot of things on this particular trip to the center of the earth. Firstly, one will get to know how the earth, which is one of the main planets, was formed. The earth was formed through the convergence and melting of large pieces of rocks that broke from the newly forming sun. During the formation of the earth, heavy metals such as iron and nickel sunk the earth to form its center, which is always hot and dense (Cain 1). The center of the earth is very hot as a result of the materials that are found in it. The further a person goes toward the center of the earth, the hotter it becomes. It has been proven that the temperature within the first few feet, which is about 100 feet below the earth’s surface, is uniformly cool and tolerable. However, past the 100 feet, the temperature begins getting hotter since the rocks and other materials found at this point are warmer than those found on the surface. The center of the earth is estimated to be at a temperature of 40000C (Cain 1). In this trip, it is important to carry a thermometer or any other device for measuring the temperature of the earth at different points. Apart from the uniquely high temperature, another interesting thing regarding the center of the earth is the seismic waves, which travel across the interior part. It is the data contained in these seismic waves that are analyzed by scientists to predict when an earthquake is going to occur. The analysis o
Introduction This book provides a tremendous compilation of theories and ideas for researchers and individuals with high interest in the field of economic development and international laws, especially in developing economies. This book may also be useful to researchers and business entities interested in the field of international business law. The background of the authors The two contributors acknowledged for compiling and editing the book include Abel Mateus and Eleanor M. Fox. Having been born in New York, Eleanor M. Fox attended Vassar College in 1956 for a bachelor’s degree in law. She, later on, joined the New York University School of Law in 1961 for a master’s degree and Ph.D. Fox was the Associate Professor of Law in 1976 at the New York University School of Law. Since 1994, Eleanor has been working at The New York University School of Law as a Professor of Trade Regulation. Abel Mateus is a Portuguese economist currently working at the New University of Lisbon as a Professor of Economics. Previously, Abel was the President of the Portuguese Competition Authority. In addition, Abel Mateus has worked with the World Bank as a Chief Economist, a position he held for over ten years. Mateus is one of the Portuguese economists widely acknowledged for having rescued Portugal from the economic crisis of 1977. He has also taught economics in several notable universities. The main ideas and major objectives of the book The two editors mainly compile essays and theories that examine the laws of competition and their significant impact on economic growth and development. While concentrating mostly on less developed countries (LDCs), the book examines how various obstacles such as government barriers and poor economic development can affect free competition in these economies. The book has assembled several essays and theories that address how these obstacles can be removed in order to allow fair competition in developing economies. The main ideas in the book are compiled in two volumes. While the first volume examines mainly the permissible plan of the political and cost-effective trade policies, the second volume focuses mainly on various issues surrounding competition law and means of enforcing these competition laws. In regards to political and economic trade policies, the first volume addresses the various myths and assumptions put forward by
The purpose of this paper is to analyze an article on the work of the US Federal Reserve and its fight against recessions. The article’s main idea is to review the tools available to the Federal Reserve to maintain the American economy’s stability. Among such methods, one can distinguish a double mandate from Congress, which allows working to keep stable prices in the economy and fight unemployment. In the context of the first objective, the Reserve can buy assets, make loans and carry out other monetary policy operations. In general, these instruments can be divided into four categories: open market transactions, reduced capital conditions, discount lending, and management of expectations (Anderson, 2020). Currently, most of the mentioned methods have already been deployed due to the aggravated epidemiological situation and restrictions on the part of the healthcare sector. This article is devoted to raising awareness of the work of an essential public financial institution. In this context, the author’s perspective is relatively neutral since she is mostly a narrator without an opinion. However, she perfectly copes with this task, providing a compilation of facts collected in a compact and accessible form, making it easier to understand. Besides, most of the definitions, events, and facts used in the text are supported by links to sources, allowing getting more information on these topics. Thus, the author uses them to defend her article by substantiating the submitted material. The paper concludes with a personal observation made by the author through an analysis of the Federal Reserve’s work. The view that if current trends persist, the Reserve will not be able to deal with future recessions effectively is also noted in other studies (Reifschneider & Wilcox, 2020). Thus, the author’s opinion reflects reality and can be considered authoritative. However, this article lacks sufficient citations and third-party sources. Although the number of cross-references is large, none leads to a third-party resource or points to an a
Introduction There are various reasons for which some processes occur. Internal and external migration in developing countries for instance happen for certain reasons for example better living conditions in terms of attractive salaries and wages, favourable climatic conditions and security. The migration process is also affected by many factors one of it being the economic prospects for the global economy. Internal migration entails movement of a country’s citizens within the country for instance rural- urban migration while external migration involves movement of a country’s citizens to another country in most cases the reason being the search for greener pastures. The economic prospects of global economy affect different countries, developing and developed, differently depending on the economic status of a particular country. The fiscal situation of various high income countries presents either positive or negative impacts to the developing countries and the world economy at large for instance the market instability present in most of the European countries is a challenge to the world economy. The emerging financial developments in Europe affects the financial conditions of developing countries for instance in terms of capital flow although this is only to a very small extent (Mussa 2008: 7). Factors That Lead To Migration Globalization and urbanization are some of the factors that promote both internal and external migration especially in developing countries. People find themselves on the move to cities and towns or even to other countries for various reasons for instance in search for employment opportunities, better living standards and even better educational opportunities running away from places that cannot in one way or another support their specific needs satisfactorily ( World Bank 2005: 25). Although urbanization has major positive impacts for example social and economic growth and development, excessive migration to the urban centres usually strains the countries economy due to the unequal distribution of the population and resources and makes it difficult for local, national and international governments to provide sufficient facilities and services like, water, proper sewerage and electricity to the population as the people in the particular areas exceed the services. This leads to formation of slums as a result of rural crisis. External migration is also a common aspect in developing countries even with the presence of restriction of movements within bo
