The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was eager to launched the Space Shuttle Challenger, one of its greatest accomplishments, for its 10th time.

market segments, preferred strategies for the targeted group, a comparison of successful programs, a comparison of differences in programs of the targeted group, and who would and should be interested in a the fall and protection program. Once data was collected, using open-ended questions, and prompts. An analyzer then developed code; that was then analyzed using the ATLAS.ti, a qualitative analysis software program, to translate the data. (Cope, Quigley, Dahan, Smith, Jonathan, Melillo, Haun,…

Society today is unlike anything the Earth has ever experienced. Living amongst a “Technological Era” has admitted us to freely witness the enviable lives of millions around the world. Tragically, it’s no surprise that it’s predominantly our younger generation that are so heavily influenced by our “Big Brother”, the USA. His “celebrity culture” allows insight into all facets of a life in the fast lane. Movies, magazines and the dominant force of social media are all means by which he coerces us…

In the book of Whale Done, Ken Blanchard states that people should be more willing to accentuate the positive instead of the negative. When someone achieves great success in study or work, we are supposed to praise them and give positive responses to encourage them to keep up the good work. When mistakes or errors occur, we should redirect the energy and attention to the right things without blame. It is really a good idea which could help people have a healthier relationship with not only the…

The Gamemakers’ Violence in Reality TV The Gamemakers of The Hunger Games have one job, and it’s to keep the Games bloody and gory, which ties directly to the theme of violence in reality TV because they are the perpetrators of such violence. The people of the capitol celebrate the games, constantly bet money on who will win, and send gifts as sponsors to their favorite tributes. Violent twists in the games keep the outcome unpredictable and keep those watching interested to the very end. To…

In 1997, the Longaberger Basket Company built its headquarters in Newark, Ohio. However, anyone who glances at the building is guaranteed to do a double-take. At first glance, the building looks like a giant basket, complete with handles. The company’s founder, Dave Longaberger, oversaw the design, stating, “if they can put a man on the moon, they can certainly build a building that’s shaped like a basket.” He was able to create this eye-catching metaphor by integrating the parts of a building…

In the twenty-first century, teenagers seemed to shift into favoring drama’s or comedies. Additionally, musical movies were booming in Hollywood. As things progressed and TV shows started to lack relatability at least in the teen realm Ryan Murphy created a teenage musical dramedy (drama, comedy) that succeeded more than what colleagues had expected. Glee, it quickly became known as “first of its kind.”Glee took three genres and combined them. Unlike most teenage shows, this show actually…

The most recent movie I can recall watching that deals with abnormal behavior is American Psycho directed by Mary Harron and staring Christian Bale. This has been one of my favorite movies (and books) for several years primarily due to its deep cultural satire. The movie follows the life of millionaire Patrick Bateman, who is secretly a psychotic serial killer. A series of abnormal, and disturbing, events are presented, including Bateman obsessing over his routine and physical appearance,…

Dexter Morgan, Norman Bates, Frank Underwood are all sociopath’s that you love to watch on TV from the safety of your home, but what if you met one in real life? Chances are that you already have. On the outside we look, talk, and walk just like everyone else, but on the inside we are empty, I am empty. Talking about my diagnosis is hard. It scares people away or they start to treat me like a weird science project. They ask me a barrage of questions like “how, when, and where did you become like…

Thinking about this issue I tried to remember all of the movies and TV show I’ve watched and all of the racial-cultural things that have been shown. To tell the truth, I’m not a big fan of watching TV. I believe that it’s just a waste of time. However, it has a big influence on people. So, I could come up with one TV show. The name of this TV show is “The Good Wife”. It is a story about lawyers: their work and their routine life. Before starting my “analysis” I would like to say that all of…
