The Plight

Korean film Peppermint Candy exemplifies the overall disillusionment that Koreans held towards the brutal Chun Doo-Hwan regime during his political reign in the 1980s. The film crudely illustrates the demise of the country as a whole by following the plight of Kim Young-Ho till his subsequent death through reverse chronological order of present to past. Thus, Lee Chang-Dong utilizes a morose man to illustrate the everlasting effects of the turbulent political period on the protagonist and…

My overall reaction of the Warmth of Other Suns is awesome eye-opener of the plight of African-Americans to seek out a better life for them and their descendants. The stories that was detailed in the book about lynching was very graphic and sometimes unforgettable which in truth I would like to forget. The thing that surprised me…

hospital, the hospital’s focus remains as a center for providing care to the patients. Since this is the facility’s focus, it was justifiable for the hospital’s chief finance officer to prioritize the plight of outpatients who needed more space at the hospital. Furthermore, dialysis patient’s plight was also taken care of through the plan to construct a dialysis center away from the outpatient’s premises. It was therefore unjustifiable for Linda to quit the hospital just because she was prone to…

During The Great Depression, and subsequently the Dust Bowl, migrants and the poor were suffering because they were forced off of land. Many were unsympathetic to their plight, including landowners who were desperate to cling to their property.

Immigration is a contemporary problem that I would address given a chance. The reason for this is the fact that the world is currently grappling with what to do with immigrants and no one seems to understand the plight of these immigrants. Traveling miles and miles from their native homes to countries in Europe and America, these people have endured inhumane conditions in their traveling ventures and yet, our countries seem not to be welcoming. It is a rather unfortunate incident and it needs to…

Primate parenting includes several distinct features that separate them from other mammals. One distinct feature is the length in time that primates care for their young. It is a significantly longer time period than most other mammals, giving the mother and offspring a very close bond. Another distinctive feature is the fact that without being raised by its own mother (and is instead raised by a surrogate), a primate offspring will enter adulthood with very little knowledge of how to properly…

This concept featured in the Cinderella Man movie, produced by using Ron Howard, Penny Marshall, and Brian Grazer. also, John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, derives its epic scope from the manner that Steinbeck uses the Joad family to portray the plight of hundreds of dust Bowl farmers.

Generally, this internal and subsequent external plight results in a binary outcome: either being admitted to the dominant and privileged faction or being expelled to the marginalized and scorned sector. Consequently, this dichotomy between groups allows for the dominant…
