    The documentary named Suburban America: Problems and Promise is an extremely interesting film in my own opinion due to the issue that it brings and discusses with regards to the suburbia. The movie is by APT, which stands for the American Public Television. The documentary highlighted a lot of places in the United States of America such as Long Island, Orange County, and Cleveland that discusses the changes that occurred in the suburban areas in which every area gave its own story in the film. The audience that was focused on during the documentary is the one that lives in the suburbia and the changes of those places socially and politically. All of these places have issues such as an aging infrastructure and with such problems the suburbia is still alive.…

    There are many standout moments that I would like to mention, but first I would like to say that I am very impressed with this film, I always have been wondering all these things and I like the fact that we are learning about them in this class. The first standout moment for me was when the man and his family lost their farm. It called my attention because my family and some families from this area had to go through this same situation a few years ago. Second standout moment: the pilots’ salaries from 16,000 to 22,000 yearly! That’s ridiculous, some of them had to ask for food stamps, some of them have a second job, that remind me a time when a met a paramedic working at a warehouse, I asked him why he was working there, and he told me that he was getting pay more there for opening boxes than saving lives and even though he loved to be a paramedic he needed the money.…

    Regarding the methodology, I chose this film to analyze because there is something deeper than just the surface problems of the characters. I first watched the movie when I was about 10-11 years old with my older brother, but I never really understood the significance behind it, until I was about 17. After that, I watched the film and listened to the soundtrack so many times that I did not need to take any notes on it, when it came to watching the film for the purpose of this essay. The 2005 film Rent, directed by Chris Columbus, is based on Jonathan Larson’s Broadway musical of the same name.…

    This movie shows many changes in normality’s. It truly shows what people went through on a daily basis, not just that a generation changed over time. Every day was a challenge to overcome, new ways of learning and relationships coming together or falling apart. People didn’t know how to act or what to say, since the men were gone it was as they missed a section of life and didn’t know how to jump back in. Father missed pivotal points of his children’s childhood, getting to know them as adults, remembering them as kids.…

    Manifest Destiny is “the 19th-century doctrine or belief that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable.” Which means, that even when we kicked Indians out of their own land, it was okay. It was justified, for our own selfish needs and wants. Other things were involved with Manifest Destiny, like the gold rush.

    There are endless problems with the environment and the big scheme of things is very overwhelming to those who want to solve the issues, in turn, nothing is done to solve the problems. “The Environmental crisis: The Devil is in the Generalities” by Ross McKitrick explains how the result of the generalization of the word environment causes people to believe the world is always in an environmental crisis.

The conversation surrounding the environment can often get caught up in generalities which can quickly drive people towards crisis mode. McKitrick attempts to persuade his reader to cease talking about the environment as a single entity, and instead focus on the specific aspects that compose it. In Ross McKitrick ’s essay “The Environmental Crisis”, he uses references to authority and specific examples to show how using a general term can muddle the perception of a comprehensive issue.…
