The Wave
The Wave 1. Was Mr. Ross right or wrong in manipulating his students as he did? Defend your answer. Mr. Ross was wrong in manipulating his students. I believe that because his manipulation caused many things to go wrong and many people got hurt with it too. When he finally ended in what he had done, it affected all the Wave members greatly in which many students like Robert might have done something to his life if the movie continued on or so I think. Many people were even getting hurt when stood up to the Wave like Laurie. Laurie knew that it was leading the wrong way and so she tried her best to stop but the only person who could actually stop this whole gang is the creator of it. This was not the only way Laurie’s question could have been answered. The need of doing this experiment was not really necessary because Mr. Ross knew where this experiment will lead if it was successful and it actually was. So by giving the students a sense of a “gang” going successful without any extreme work, the students can create their own anytime if they have wanted to. Which could have soon become very disastrous because, Mr. Ross stopped the gang he created just because he understood how it was hurting others and where it was leading the students, but what if the creator of the new gang won’t understand that? So there are actually many things to think about when dealing with creating a gang and manipulating a bunch of people. Now remember, this happened in the past and it worked and so this could have happened then and it was working until it got stopped. So by this creation many people got hurt, skipped their classes which lowered their marks, and people who wanted to stand up couldn’t because they got scared. So if by stopping this was a good idea, then by creating this was a bad

    Coach Foyer Case Summary

    The first approach would be the Utilitarian approach. This approach asks, “will this produce the best outcomes for everyone who is affected?” in other words, the ends justify the means (Santa Clara University, 2014). Professor Burstein in this case, would leave things alone because he knows that by reporting David, a lot of trouble would be caused to not only David but the whole team. He knows that he would cause more harm than good to those affected. The utilitarian approach also states that everyone’s well-being be taken into account when considering the consequences (Strike, 2009). Using this approach allows the consequences and outcomes determine what is right and what is wrong. The second approach would be the Rights approach. This approach would ask, “are we respecting human rights?” (Santa Clara University, 2014). The first step in this approach would be to identify the right being violated. Another question to ask would be, “does it conflict with other rights or with the rights of others?” (Santa Clara University, 2014). In this case, it would be wrong for Professor Burnstein to automatically assume and punish David for supposedly changing his own grade without proof. The third approach would be the Fairness approach. This approach asks, “is this a fair distribution of benefits and burdens?” (Santa Clara University, 2014). It states that everyone is equal and deserves an equal share since we are all worth the same. In this case, Professor Burnstein would change David’s grade back to his original grade and most likely report him. He would do this because he knows it’s not fair for David or his classmates to not get the grade he deserved even if he is the star football player. Everyone is responsible for their own efforts put into their tests and there should be no exceptions in order to be fair to the class. The fourth approach is the common good approach. The question to be…

    Strength Through The Wave Analysis

    At Gordon High School, history teacher Ben Ross is teaching his class about World War II and the Holocaust. His students are upset by the footage of concentration camps and question why the German people allowed this to happen, insisting they wouldn't be so easily duped. Ben Ross considers this and plans an experiment: the next day, he starts to indoctrinate the class using the slogan STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE. The class reacts well to this, embracing the sense of empowerment it gives them, and they continue their newly disciplined behavior into a second day of class, surprising Ross. He decides to take the experiment further and create a group, The Wave, adding two more slogans --STRENGTH THROUGH COMMUNITY and STRENGTH THROUGH ACTION - which leads to further rules of conduct and an organizational structure. In this way, The Wave takes on a life of its own. While Laurie Saunders is wary of The Wave and its effect on others, her friends are more willing to promote this movement. Her friend Amy is made a monitor, as has school outcast, Robert Billings. Laurie's boyfriend David Collins, introduces the football team to The Wave in the hopes of unifying the team in their game against Clarkstown that weekend.…

    Groupthink And Polarization In The Film

    1. Groupthink and polarization impacted the kids throughout the film; the class decided that they should have a name, and a uniform to set them apart from the rest. The students then started hanging out with only other in the class, and created a handshake. Group thinking caused the class to join into as one, they all had each others’ backs; Tim was getting bullied by a few students, that weren’t in the cult, and a few of the members in the wave came to rescue and punk the other guys. Polarization occurred when more people started to conform; with more people supporting, the more powerful and daring people felt. Together the group was strong, but individually they were all weak, and won’t do half of the things they did.…

    Blue made sure to see that the students were receiving positive feedback. When each of the students entered the room, they retrieved their binders and all sat down quietly.

    AP GOV. The wave

    “The Wave” is a film that was able to show how easy power can control the lives of people. In the film a teacher Mr. Ross did an experiment about power and its strong influence on society. His society was his students. He wanted to see how far his power would go by forming a “movement”. Mr. Ross called his movement “The Wave”. But what really gave him the idea was when a student asked him a question about corruption and power; he couldn’t even give the student an exact answer. He wanted his students to get an experience on corruption and how it takes over people’s lives each day. Mr. Ross’s movement had changed students so fast. It showed how power can take away people’s minds and their own individuality.…

    Courbet the Wave

    Beginning in the summer of 1869 Gustave Courbet produced a series of paintings depicting stormy seas during his stay at Etretat on the Normandy coast. The Wave (La Vague c.1872) exhibited in the National Gallery of Victoria is one such painting that features the central motif of a cresting wave. While many viewed the work as a simple realist seascape, the political implication of the work suggested by some of Courbet’s contemporaries is hardly discernable to the modern viewer. It can only be understood in light the historical context of the early 1870s in which France was entering a new democratic order and both Realism and Courbet had become inextricably bound to political affairs.…

    In The Boat by Alistair Macleod the mother and father are presented as opposites. The mother is the character trying to keep the tradition alive, whereas the father is the character who is looking forward to the changes. The mother does not want any tourists in her town and does not want her family to go out and spend time with the people who do not come from the village. The father was encouraging the change to happen, and he was kind enough to take the tourists out for a ride on his boat.…

    Lean on Me a Review of the Movie

    I completely agree with Mr. Clark's decision making. He was not afraid or threatened with the people who did not agree with him even if it meant being unpopular with the students and his peers. He stood firm with what he believes is right and good for the school. As an administrator, we should adapt the same courage in decision making as Mr. Clark. Administrators have to make a lot of decisions, whether big or small. And in making decisions, there will always be resistance, not everyone will agree with you. But as an administrator, you should not let this affect you. If administrators become unconfident about their decisions, they will be undermined by the teachers and later on might lose their credibility amongst the students and his colleagues.…

    The Korean Wave

    Unlike in the past, Philippine Media is now a combination of various Asian entertainments. It imports TV series and movies from neighboring Asian countries. Imported movies are then dubbed in Filipino and streamed in our country. ABS-CBN, one of the top TV stations in the country, started to explore foreign TV series last 2003. This was “Meteor Garden,” a Taiwanese drama series. Because of the boom of the said series, GMA 7, a rival of ABS-CBN, made the same move. They also brought in various teleseryes from other Asian countries. They were the first one to air Korean dramas. Although, both stations tried Japanese, Thailand, and Taiwanese series, Korean dramas are most preferred by audiences. Because of the consecutive success of Korean dramas, until now both stations air the latter.…
