3. Stagecoach Film, John Ford

Please answer the following questions and respond to at least one classmate. 
For this discussion, you will NOT receive credit if you repeat the same answer that another classmate has already posted. Make sure your contributions to the conversation are unique. 


HISTORICAL/CULTURAL CONTEXT

I’d like you to think about the time period this film’s story 1880s.

“Stagecoach was produced in 1939 during the Great Depression. Europe was at war, although Americans would not be drawn into this world conflict until 1941. The film’s cast of characters would have resonated with audiences of the times, who recognized Gatewood as representative of the corrupt bankers who had caused America’s economic collapse. “What’s good for the banks is good for America,” he pontificates during the journey. More importantly, the class warfare played out within the rocking coach reinforced social prejudices of the times. The film argues for the dignity of all people, regardless of class. The divisiveness inside the coach, contrasted with the rugged landscape outside, will destroy all unless they can find a way to rise above their intolerance and work together. No doubt many who viewed Stagecoach were immigrants who were themselves struggling for acceptance in America. The film changed the Western genre significantly, from B-grade to A-class feature status. In 1995, the National Film Preservation Board named Stagecoach to the National Film Registry as a film of historical, cultural and aesthetic significance.” The American West and the Western Film Genre. © The Film Foundation. All Rights Reserved.

QUESTIONS
1. How did you feel about this film? Did you like it or not? Why? 

2. The Western genre rose to great popularity and we still see it’s success in films like Django Unchanged and many others. As we watch Stagecoach in 2016, about 1880s, made in 1939, what themes still resonate? Please be specific about scenes and correlations to modern events.

Nurture vs Nature

/in /by

You are an AIU Online Campus graduate and have started a career with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, which is a part of the Department of Justice. You are a juvenile justice expert, which fits perfectly with your criminal justice degree. You have been assigned to write a paper of 3–4 pages on the following two families and the questions listed below:

The Jukes family and the Kallikak family have been subjects of studies pertaining to the nature versus nurture issue and crime. Current studies have been collected that show that juveniles who are raised in families where family members have been incarcerated have an increased likelihood of following the same path.

You can find information on these 2 families at the following Web sites, but be sure to look at more than just these 2 Web sites:

Are the characteristics of offenders, about which you have read in your textbook and the professor has lectured, carried down through families? These characteristics may include a propensity for violence, a dishonest nature, and so on. Is it nature or nurture? Look at these studies, and describe the characteristics. Try to explain both sides of the issue (both nature and nurture) that bring out the characteristics of people who are more likely to go to jail.

Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Personal financial statements

/in /by

Personal financial statements help us know where we are, and help us plan for where we want to be. Sometimes it’s hard to look at what we owe or how we are spending our money or using our credit cards. However, if you develop a good financial plan you can make adjustments before a crisis occurs. Losing sleep over money is no fun and it’s hard on relationships. See where you are and develop goals and a plan to reach them. Life will be much easier.

In addition, consider recent events (those from the last two years or less) that may have affected the U.S. dollar’s strength or weakness. Examples include recent elections or government activity, U.S. debt and rating, interest rates, and the like. Support your position with scholarly sources and peer-reviewed industry publications per APA style of citation.

Recent news stories have clearly established that there are increasing instances of cyber-crime that are plaguing major corporations and financial institutions. These crimes have taken many forms, such as:

  • Corporate management falsifying documents and altering internal systems to steal funds from both corporations and customers

Please cite examples of corporations that have taken additional steps and describe such steps.
