body language makes him a natural born leader, and the mannerisms help to boost his alpha male persona, which propels his characters to another level. Furthermore, he captures the personalities that he is projecting, from movies like Bronx Tail, Taxi Driver, to the God father, he explodes on the screen, but the one that captures his true persona is Goodfellas. Without a doubt, this is one of the utmost electrifying and dominating male characters out in Hollywood who…
The drivers want benefits and sick time, but they aren’t in reality required to work. For the drivers that choose to work 40 or more hours a week, that is still a choice and a luxury that most other jobs would not even consider offering. This case relates to the problem of worker/job misclassification. This issue is who has misclassified, Uber or the drivers? Uber isn’t meant to be a career and so it shouldn’t be treated as one.…
Many of the main characters in his movies have strange things about them that make them different than the rest of the characters. Henry Hill in Goodfellas is part Irish, meaning he can never become a full member of the mob. Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver is a depressed ex-marine whose problems drive him to become a vigilante. Hugo Cabret in Hugo is an orphan who lives in a train station clock tower unbeknownst to anyone else charged with the mission to keep the clocks running. The reason why…
In the “Drive” directed by Nicolas Refn, the driver starts off as a professional in his career of offering repairs and getaway services for clients organized by Shannon (IMDB). The Driver’s professional code of work breaks loose when he met Irene and her son, Benicio – neighbor in the apartment – and he develops a close connection with her (Rotten tomatoes). Nicolas Refn uniquely presents the movie in such a dramatic way that events surrounding all scenes are stylistically combined to produce an…
Chevy vs. Ford Below is a comparison of two similar trucks for a first-time potential purchaser of a brand new standard truck. Chevy and Ford have been manufacturing cars and trucks for over 100 years. Now that the consumer has narrowed the choices down to a standard Ford F150 Super Cab or a Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, the difference between the two needs to be established. Both trucks appear to be equivalent to the untrained eye. Each of the manufacturers has a solid history and reputation.…
The Independent variable consisted of the distractions that drivers faced on the levels of hands-free, handheld phone conversations relating to that of drivers that were impaired by alcohol. 20 participants drove a 15 km route in a driving simulator in the control, handheld, hands-free and alcohol condition.

well as safely. In 2011 a survey conducted by the Australian bureau of statistics found that fatigue was the third highest cause of fatal car crashes, only just behind speeding and intoxicated driving. In this essay it will be argued that a sleep deprived driver will have the same driving performance as an intoxicated driver. This argument is supported by two studies which discusses how driving performance is effected by sleep deprivation and alcohol. Both the studies found that fatigued driving…
Driving is a hazard we take each day. Drivers should be ready and mindful while working a vehicle. Drinking debilitates that capacity. Driving impaired puts all lives at hazard, not only the life of the driver. Bikers, walkers, youngsters crossing streets, pets pursuing a ball, even individuals getting a charge out of the outside in the security of their property are at danger of being a casualty of an indiscreet intoxicated driver. Reckless choices can delete every one of the limits that secure…
a large white pickup involved in the disturbance and the driver of the truck was attempting to run a person with the truck. Upon arrival in the area, I located a white Ford pickup, with large tires, driving north on Forest. The vehicle was moving slowing and appeared to stopping. As I approached the driver’s side of the vehicle on foot, the driver started to drive away, north bound. The vehicle’s movement was not smooth, as if the driver was having difficulty control the vehicle. As the…
I am writing this letter on behalf of Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD). I like to discuss the issue of driving while intoxicated in New York. Governor Cuomo signed legislation creating the Vince’s Law. This law raises the penalty for offenders who commit three or more DWI’s within fifteen years. I would like to advocate on behalf of Mother’s Against Drunk Driving to combat the Vince’s Law. Mother’s Against Drunk Driving wants to live in a world without drunk driving. In 2015, 10,265…
