The Merchant of Four Seasons

Depictions of sexuality is a key element that intersect in the format of both Ali, Fear Eats the Soul (1974) and Maedchen in Uniform (1931). While the films are released over 40 years apart, both these films depict sexuality and explore sexual taboos in Germany. Ali, Fear Eats the Soul, directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, is a tale of interracial love and explores the impact of racism on human relationships. Leontine Sagan’s Maedchen in Uniform contains themes of lesbian relationships and expression of emotion. Though the films messages differ from each other, the longing for love for the characters are very similar. Ali, Fear Eats the Soul revolves around love and overcoming difficulties in relationships. Fassbinder’s portrayal of Emmi shows the audience the passion and authentic love she has for Ali. Fassbinder acknowledges Emmi’s sexuality but chooses to show her desire for love and companionship as the focal point in the film. One notable scene is when Emmi looks at Ali while he is showering. Her gaze does not show any exploitative voyeurism and the words she tells him are addressed to Ali only. The authenticity of the love between the two despite their different backgrounds demonstrates that obstacles in relationships can be overcome. The film presents Emmi not as an attractive women, but as an old woman that desires love. From the way her children act when they learn of her relationship, older women are typically not seen to engage in sexual relationships. One…

Four Seasons Hotels is one of the most successful and well known hotel chains in the world due mainly to its emphasis on great customer service. When Isadore Sharp opened his first motel in 1961, he made his business stand out from others because of his service oriented philosophy he instilled upon his employees and operation. At this time, customer service was not as big and well-known as it is today so Sharp was able to become very successful with this strategy. Sharp was also a great leader…

Egypt and the Nile A river has shaped a country, but is the country shaped well? Ancient Egypt was a civilization built around the Nile and without the Nile there would be no Ancient Egypt. But how did the Nile shape Ancient Egypt? Culturally? Physically? Maybe even physically. The Nile shaped Ancient Egypt in a lot of ways and especially through crops and flood seasons, transportation and the trade, and jobs and their duties based around the Nile. One big way the Nile shaped Ancient Egypt was…

In 1397, the family established a financial institution called The Medici Bank, which became the largest bank in Europe. Furthermore, the Medici introduced the idea of lending and as Ferguson argues, the “decentralization of their lending and reaching…

Achievement” by New York Magazine (Seitz), the second season of American Crime is an intricate and thought-inducing TV series. The 10-episode anthology created by John Ridley tells the tale of a high school rape in Steubenville, Indiana. The psychological action begins from the very first episode and if the viewer was hoping for a cut and dry mystery, she will not see one. Ridley takes a left turn; the victim--or survivor, depending on one 's’ worldview--is a boy. Not willing to merely produce…
