He sells the fantasy that electing him will solve all our problems, when in fact he’ll just make them worse. Advertisements are a dangerous tool that puts many people in the real life version of the Matrix by blinding them the truth, it occurs both in the movie…

meeting to announce plans to adopt a shared services model at the Health Services Campus (HSC) in order to improve business operations. Planned change is a focused, deliberate and joint effort to bring about improvements with the help of a change agent (Roussel, 2006).

The hero’s journey as depicted by Joseph Campbell is used to “describe the underlying monomyth that links stories from every part of the world and every epoch in human history”(Richardson 220).

This connection is what motivated my research and my desire to bring attention to the subject. Agent Orange was an herbicide used during the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
