The film I picked is somewhat fitting for this month, and with everything that has been going on. I choose the official movie trailer for Saving Private Ryan, considered one of the all time greatest war films. The drama/action film by Steven Spielberg, was released in 1998. It follows Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) and the group of eight men tasked to find and retrieve Private James Ryan after his three brothers were killed in action during the last Great War, WWII. The audience sees the brutal…

Q1: According to the textbook, a moral hazard is described as being “the problem created by asymmetric information after a transaction occurs” (Mishkin & Eakins, 2012, p. 26). As far as financial markets are concerned, a moral hazard exists when a lender understands the risk that a borrower might engage in activities that would hinder their ability to repay a loan. As the threat of a moral hazard increases, the likelihood that a borrower will repay a loan decreases (Mishkin & Eakins, 2012).…

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN PART 1: THE BATTLE OF NORMANDY The Battle of Normandy was key for the allies success in France. The Allies landed on the Normandy beaches on June 6th, 1944 and had major issues moving off the boats, moving into the mainland of Normandy and then onward to Paris. The Allies initially had the element of surprise because of D-Day however once the landings had occurred, that changed as the Germans then knew what their plan was, to push inland and not to be in Pays de Calais. The…

While some women may be as tough as men there are still factors that can be distracting. The women who would fight in the war could potentially become the main focus instead of the fight. By looking deeper into All Quiet in the Western Front and Saving Private Ryan, these movies both indirectly and directly show how women would negatively affect the war if they were to join the fight.…

Sibling rivalry is a common dispute throughout many households. However, during my younger years, it was severely intense between my sister, Samantha, and me; in fact, the battles were so frequent and unnerving, that in 2001 she [Samantha] was forced to reside with our biological father. Scientifically speaking, opposites attract, therefore, when you have two leads of the same identity they would repulse. Our personalities and preferences may be completely opposite, never the less, my sister…

Since the beginning of history, mankind has questioned its existence. How did life start? When did life start? Over the centuries, two schools of thought arose, presenting different ideas on the creation of mankind. Evolution and religion both presented ways mankind could have been created, however, a compromise couldn’t be made between the two due to their radically different natures. In Inherit the Wind, by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, Bert Cates, a science teacher, is on trial for…

of bias. Bias are present in both Saving Private Ryan, and All Quiet on the Western Front. Saving Private Ryan has aspects of an anti and pro war movie, while All Quiet on the Western Front is a true anti-war book. Just like a lot of the movies out there, Saving Private Ryan has a few overdramatized parts. Of course, without some exaggerated parts war movies would not be as big a hit. It's the viewer's job to sift through the reality and the fantasy. Both Saving Private Ryan and All Quiet on the…

It was a cold brisk morning when my squad and I started our journey to Gallipoli, there were three young guys in front of me, with five others behind. We were all waiting silently, some of us were looking out for enemy snipers and mines in the water. Were about to hit the beach, I can hear gunshots and people shouting “medic!” at that moment a bullet whizzed passed skimming my helmet.All the sudden bullets were coming left right and center, “get down, we're taking fire” it was too late for some…

affects a situation no matter what circumstance. Two works that deal with this aspect of nature are The Old Man and the Sea and Saving Private Ryan. The Old Man and the Sea and Saving Private Ryan, both stories of loyalty, honor and sacrifice, portray the battle between man’s will and nature’s force, demonstrating the victorious unstoppable quality of nature. Both Saving Private Ryan and Old Man and the Sea, show the main characters on a mission to accomplish a feat extremely important and…
