The film opens with a dance competition, a montage of shots showing beautiful dance couples taking the floor, this is cut with close up shots of Miss…

The task set is to identify the social-cognition concepts that are found in the characters behaviours and attitudes in the film, ‘Take the Lead’. Impression formation is when someone forms impressions of peoples charismas based on traits and behaviours. People can form impressions verbally, which involves what is said such as swearing, polite and/or formal language. An example of this is how Pierre, throughout the whole film, talks in a polite manner and never once raises his voice. His…

Unknown to many people, the dance of the tango had extremely humble beginnings in the slums of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Several theories exist concerning how the tango evolved into the sensual, romantic dance that people currently know and love. One theory states that some of the tango's unusual movements originated among the gauchos of Buenos Aires, who wore their smelly, hardened chaps into the city's congested nightclubs. As the story goes, when a gaucho began dancing with a girl, she placed…

The rotoscoping technique in Waltz With Bashir attracted me. Although I watched a lot of animations, I only watched 2D animations like Disney’s and Hiyao Miyazaki’s. Unlike the animations I’ve watched, Waltz With Bashir by Ari Folman is an animated documentary. It can also be considered as Ari Folman’s autobiography. This Israeli animation is very new to me especially in context. Folman’s autobiography requires a lot of context to be able to truly understand what was going on. For example the…

Waltz in Music By Denver A. Moreno Waltz in music is distinctly known for having a measure in triple time, usually 3/4, sometimes 3/8 or 3/2. It has light tuneful melodies, and simple chordal lower parts with the first beat heavily accented.

piece together different aspects of a poem’s structure and directly relate it back to the overall content. In the poem My Papa’s Waltz, author Theodore Roethke deliberately uses form to create a child-like quality while at the same time mimicking the meter of a waltz, a usually slow and elegant dance that brings two people closer together. Moreover, in this poem a waltz is represented in a very different way to demonstrate a disordered relationship that switches back and fourth between flawed…

checked in. The waltz was to be immediately followed after the entrance, so we were all getting ready to dance. This was the first dance of the night, and there was so much built up anticipation. This was the moment we were all waiting for, the moment we had practiced so tirelessly for months. Finally, the doors opened, and each pair entered the ballroom one by one, until it was my turn for my escort, Marc, and I entered and then went into our waltz position. The music commenced and the waltz…

Realism and Liberalism, two very renowned theories and practices of international relations, which both have different perspectives towards security structure, human rights/nature and international systems. Both of these theories trace back to their intellectual roots. Realism related back to Thucydides’ classic account of the Peloponnesian War in the fifth-century B.C and the liberalist tradition is usually traced back to Enlightenment, which is mainly traced back to main philosophers, John…
