Few film directors of the modern era have had such a marked influence on their peers as the great Steven Spielberg. Before Spielberg, it was believed that a filmmaker could either be highly creative or make films that were highly profitable. Usually a person could not accomplish both feats, at least in the same film. Also, when a director created a successful film, he or she was usually stuck creating works in that genre for the rest of his or her career. Spielberg was the first person to…

There is a set particulate standard level in place, which is “35 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3) averaged over 24 hours” (Environmental Integrity, 2011). Over 90% of the factory farms surveyed in Iowa, Indiana, California, and Pennsylvania failed these air quality tests. This also means that by the time animals such as chickens and hogs are sent to be slaughtered, the vast majority will be suffering from lung impairment or ammonia. It also puts the farm…

Mikela Gassert The Shining Example of Good Cinematography Film is both art and business: fields that strive to innovate. Artists who innovate leave a lasting legacy on their craft, demonstrate their adeptness, and add value to their field. Businesses must adapt constantly to survive in competitive markets; innovation represents a company’s economic lifeblood. One Steadicam film, The Shining, used the new techniques to further the film as a piece of art and as a financial success, particularly…

Is college worth it? Should I go? What do I want to major in? These questions were quite common in my head my Senior year. Earlier this year, I successfully passed through one milestone in my life: Graduate High School. Don’t get me wrong, high school was a breeze for me. I didn’t struggle terribly. I was ranked in the Top 10 students in my class, helped take my softball team to State two years in a row, and got along well with all my classmates and teachers. One thing I didn’t do in high…

“A man 's face is his autobiography. A woman 's face is her work of fiction” (Oscar Wilde). As the media expands, the more diverse feminism and masculinity has become. Over the previous years, the expansion has caused a drastic move in the “feminist world”. This expansion has been exposed through television shows, movies, commercials, newspapers, and etc. Being a young lady in this twentieth century day, watching television has opened my eyes to a new aspect of the media. The way the media is…

As we all know, nurses are the largest group of health care professionals (Shi and Singh, 2015). When a registered nurse is qualified through advance training, education and clinical experience, to assume some of the duties and responsibilities formerly assumed only by a physician, becomes a Nurse Practitioner (Nurse Practitioner, n. d.). This program was first developed in the United States by Loretta Ford and Henry Silverman in 1967 at the University of Colorado (Kippenbrock, 2017).…

The story of my search “How am I going to pull this off?” This exact question I asked myself seconds after I received this project, in a one thousand words essay. I would have thought it a daunting and boring task at first, how can I write a 1000 word essay about my name. Personally, I did not think that I would be able to find hardly any information on the subject. I thought I knew enough about my name to begin with, it is mine, my own, and no one can take it from me; However, as my research…

Archaeology studies all our human history interpreted through the objects left behind within the past. Most of our human history has been without written language and archaeology looks at other objects made to discover how life was like for past peoples. There are many facets to archaeology and countless variables that must be considered when interpreting some artifacts use or meaning. This means that archaeology isn’t what people see as some dusty old objects but instead an active field within…

A small regional hospital in New Mexico employed an interactive narrative technique in which employees were presented with a role-playing scenario that likened the transformation of the hospital’s mission to an Indiana Jones-style journey that was titled ‘Raiders of the Lost Art’ (Adamson, Pine, Van Steenhoven, & Kroupa, 2006). Within the structure of the game’s narrative, staff were presented with data regarding themselves, the community within which they worked…
