El documento describe la división geográfica entre el este y el oeste de Toronto. Aunque tradicionalmente se han considerado opuestos, el autor argumenta que su única diferencia real es su posición en el mapa. Explora ambos lados de la ciudad, encontrando que el este (Leslieville y Broadview) y el oeste (Dundas West, Junction) están experimentando una gentrificación gradual a medida que atrae nuevos negocios y residentes. El autor concluye que Toronto se está alejando tímidamente de su identidad basada en la división este-oeste
This document summarizes the major trends influencing public education in the United States - Behaviorism and Secular Humanism. It argues that through the use of psychological conditioning techniques promoted by these movements, education has been "redefined" to "change behavior" and modify children to accept a future utopian society designed by educational experts. Specifically, it claims schools have become "mental health clinics" using techniques like values clarification and sensitivity training to condition children's attitudes, feelings and values rather than teach facts. The document expresses alarm at these trends and their impact on children's education.

This document is an introduction to W.G. Krivitsky's book "In Stalin's Secret Service" which provides an expose of Stalin's secret policies written by a former chief of Soviet military intelligence in Western Europe. The introduction summarizes Krivitsky's journey from joining the Bolshevik party at a young age and serving the Soviet government for 20 years, to breaking with Stalin after witnessing the purges and executions of his comrades. It describes some key events that shook his faith in Stalin, such as the famine of 1933 and scenes of extreme poverty among peasants, but he remained in Stalin's service due to the rise of fascism elsewhere. However, after Stalin extended a secret friendship to Hitler while purging the Red

This document summarizes and critiques the concept of global education being promoted in some schools. It argues that global education aims to undermine national sovereignty and individual liberty in favor of a planned world order and global socialism. It discusses how textbooks and courses portray globalism positively while omitting negative aspects. Values clarification classes are said to teach moral relativism and discourage strong convictions to make students more accepting of compromising values for global cooperation. The document warns that a world government could result in totalitarian control and questions whether such a system would really be democratic.
La arquitectura románica se caracterizó por el uso de la piedra, muros gruesos y pocos vanos que producían oscuridad en el interior para infundir temor a Dios. Los edificios principales fueron iglesias y monasterios, con elementos decorativos como bandas lombardas y arcos de medio punto. El interior solía tener bóvedas de cañón y trompas para cubrir el espacio.

This document defines the various film certification symbols used in the UK: U means for all ages 4+, PG means for ages 8+ but some scenes may not be suitable for younger children, 12A means anyone 12+ can watch unaccompanied but those under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, 15 means no one under 15 can watch, 18 means no one under 18 can watch, and R18 means explicit material only shown to adults in licensed cinemas. Film certifications are important to indicate what content a film may include and whether viewers and parents should consider it appropriate.
This document discusses common elements found in thriller movies. It outlines typical characters such as a mentally unstable antagonist, a protagonist government official, a figure of authority, and a female damsel in distress. It also describes common settings like major cities, apartments, restaurants, and rooftops. Narrative themes often involve abstract, non-linear storylines pitting one man against many through illegal acts. Enigma codes pose questions to the audience about what could go wrong and how situations might be resolved.
This document analyzes the trailers for the films Chronicle and Troll Hunter. It summarizes the conventions, camera work, editing, sound, genre, narrative, mise-en-scene, representation, institutions, and values/ideologies presented in each trailer. The analysis finds that both trailers use a mix of shots, cross-cutting editing techniques, and build tension through sound and music to provide glimpses of the films' plots. Chronicle represents American culture and social hierarchies while Troll Hunter represents Norwegian culture and legends.
This document discusses the logo and branding of a production company called Perspective Productions. It explains that the logo was chosen to look professional and fit with the genre of psychological thrillers. The name Perspective Productions incorporates the theme of perspective which is important in such thrillers. The font used looks handwritten to add an air of mystery. The production company is responsible for fundraising, budgeting, scheduling, casting, and marketing for films. Film distributors decide release dates and formats to exhibit films. Dynamo is proposed as the distributor since it allows global online release. Funding options discussed include applying for funds, raising money, or getting another company to produce the film. Titles are important for representing the company or film.
This document discusses various camera shots and techniques used in the film The Incredible Hulk. It describes extreme close-ups showing emotions on a character's face, close-ups revealing reactions, medium shots showing the upper body during dialogue, and long shots displaying a character's full body and posture. It also mentions extreme long shots establishing a setting, tracking and panning to follow movement, tilting to show movement, zooming to follow or reveal, cuts between clips, quick pacing to build tension, Edward Norton's performance as Bruce Banner, diegetic and non-diegetic sounds, and the mise-en-scene including props, lighting, and clothing.
This document provides a historical overview of physiological thrillers from the 1920s to the 21st century. It summarizes key thriller films from each era that reflected the social and political climates of the time, from Hitchcock's Blackmail in the aftermath of WWI, to Reed's The Third Man during WWII, to Fincher's Seven in the 1990s following the Rwandan genocide. The document uses example films to illustrate how the thriller genre evolved alongside and commented on major world events over the past century.
