Midterm Analysis: An Episode 'West Wing'
Jiyea Um
In Excelsis Deo In this West Wing episode, Toby gets called by police to identify a homeless man who died in cold. As he finds out that the homeless man is Korean War veteran Toby, who is also a veteran, traces the man and arranges a military funeral for him using the president’s influence. It seems like Toby’s sympathy for the man as a veteran is the main reason why he prepared the homeless man’s funeral in this episode. However, I think part of Toby just wanted to ensure a man, who was willing in a war with strong loyalty to the country, the dignity he deserved as an American. CJ’s outrage over Minnesota can be related to Toby’s action in that she was trying to protect the rights and dignity of people. As I was studying about

    Self-discovery is defined as the act or process of achieving understanding or knowledge of oneself. To understand ourselves sometimes we have to step outside our own world. In doing this we start to discover new one. Chris and the Chief had to do just that in their journeys of self-discovery.

    One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Critical Analysis

    The advancement of technology over the last decade has been used to further security methods in society. Devices such as surveillance systems in stores have caught suspects and decreased crime, but only by a mere 0.05% (Welsh, Farrington) (specifically in Chicago, which currently has 15,000 cameras throughout the city). So, does this implementation of surveillance really make people behave? The texts “Panopticism” by Michel Foucault and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey both focus on how to make people behave. Foucault's theory explains that if surveillance is used on people in seclusion, the authorities will claim ultimate control. Kesey’s novel challenges this theory once new ward member McMurphy is transferred in, as he provokes…

    The American Divide Argument Analysis

    America is developing a cultural divide between the elites and the working class. The American divide is blatantly clear to the majority of Murray’s audience. The so called new divide is derived from the cultural quality. Instead of a gap dividing segments of our country because of one’s achievements or income, now there are distinctive practices widening the gap between the two Americas. Murray states the problem, providing statistics and a list of SuperZIPs, all of which support his claim. Working towards the conclusion of his argument, Murray contemptuously ignores, that what many believe to be actual solutions to this ongoing cycle: reconstructing the tax structure and "scholarships for working-class children” and further more "the new…

    Lost In America Analysis

    In Dave Barry’s, “Lost in America”, I feel the narrator was not only expressing his regret for having missed the signs of how deep his mother’s grief ran but, also for a chance to relive those final memories with her as a way of making it seem as she is still alive, even if only for a moment. I also feel he intended for his words to act as a warning to others to watch their own loved ones for signs of depression, especially someone who has gone through a tragedy like Dave’s mother. His mother’s inability to move on or make a commitment to anything after her husbands death were all signs of a deep depression hers sons missed, probably due to their own grief. She was silently telling them she needed help in different ways, unfortunately Dave and his…

    An analysis on the TV show Modern Family

    Television network ABC Family’s breakout comedy series, Modern Family, is a show full of life lessons and hidden meanings. Most television shows nowadays are all about sex, alcohol, and the dramas that occur because of them. Modern Family is not an exception, however it focuses more on the family aspect of life’s many dramas. On the surface, it is similar to the sex and drugs filled television shows that consume the media these days, but underneath that surface each episode has a moral to be learned, and the show overall represents many different assumptions America makes on what a “typical” family is.…

    The Outsiders Conflict Analysis

    The different types of conflicts help shape the book because the conflicts help deepen the story and the characters in the book. In ‘The Outsiders’ the main conflict is person vs society. Since Ponyboy is a greaser he is looked down upon in society because he is poor. One example of a plot is person vs person, of Darry and Ponyboy. A lot of times Darry and Ponyboy don’t get along and get into a lot of arguments, by yelling and shouting. This would be an example of person vs person because one character is fighting another character. In this situation Ponyboy and Darry are verbally fighting each other. Furthermore, when Ponyboy arrived late coming home, Darry was really mad and slapped Ponyboy in the face. On page 50 it also proves my saying”…

    Lincoln Movie Analysis

    Lincoln is a movie based off of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin, which portrays the latter end of Abraham Lincoln’s illustrious career. The film is based around Congressional debate and Lincoln’s attempts to pass the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery in the United States. The movie is centered in Washington D.C. and the areas surrounding it between the Emancipation Proclamation in January, 1863, and the death of Lincoln in April, 1865. The film raises the issues of slavery, ending the Civil War, political strife, familial strife and general morality. Lincoln, being a Hollywood film, was meant to entertain the viewers. However, the movie sticks so close to reality that the movie is not as entertaining, rather more informative. The major themes of the film all…

    George Washington's Farewell Address Analysis

    In 1796, one of the founding fathers and the first president George Washington was bringing to a close, his 2nd term in the presidency. The letter he composed, which we now refer to as “Washington’s Farewell Address” would be not only widely circulated, but cherished for years to come. His address would not only cover his resignation, but because of its content seemed almost prophetic, as it went on to describe some of the shortcomings we see today as the advice offered was unheeded. In this paper my intent is to not only provide a personal analysis, but to highlight the subject areas which are relevant even today and therefore prove significant.…

    On Being Conservative By Michael Oakeshott Analysis

    Michael Oakeshott was an Englishman born into the political turbulent era of 20th century, growing up exposed to a variety of political extremism in Europe, especially National Socialism and Marxism, along with two World Wars. As a result, he developed a dislike of radical political activism. This aversion is expressed in his work “On being Conservative,” where Oakeshott offers a unique political work that, instead of suggesting a prescriptive aid or explaining a political system, simply describes the conservative mindset. By doing so, he demystifies the conservative disposition during an era in which he believes is strongly anti-conservative in order to show its necessity in the world of politics.…
