Documentary Summary: Becoming Human
Hello Edgar,
The documentary Becoming Human mentioned that Homo erectus were the first hominids to use fire and that the fire was used to cook their food , protect them from danger during the night since they were the first hominids that did not sleep on trees, but also to socialize. I think that could have led to the evolution of language.

    Solitary Nation: Documentary Analysis

    The United States prison system is notorious for the way it treats its inmates. There are so many theories, and facts to back up the claim that the prison system is not working the way it was intended to be, and it continues to be a growing issue that the government is not addressing. Further, within the already complicated prison system, there is another issue. Solitary confinement, which was originally supposed to be used as a short term punishment within prisons, or jails, has now become an integrated part of prison life (Edge, 2014). Solitary Nation, is 2014 documentary highlights the damages that solitary confinement is doing to people (Edge, 2014). Individuals whom have not shown any signs of degrading mental health come out of segregation, or as the inmates call it, “seg,” disturbed (Edge, 2014).…

    Babies Documentary Analysis

    According to the documentary “Babies,” there were many scenes in the film that most clearly demonstrated the interconnectedness, the similarity in all human behavior. For instance, when the babies from the urban and rural areas, even though they grew up in different environments and are from different backgrounds, they showed the same capabilities in all human behavior. An example is when all babies look around their surroundings and makes different sounds hiccuping, snoring, crying, laughing and smiling in their sleep, playing or when their mother is talking to them. We see the mutual attachment that the infants have with their mothers. In Namibia, the baby Ponijao was snoring, making sounds in his sleep and then we see how…

    I Am Sean Bell: Documentary Analysis

    In a video called “I Am Sean Bell”, directed by Stacey Muhammad, one of the men interviewed says “It’s unfortunate that it has to happen over and over again for people to actually feel something about it”. This video features young men featured in this documentary talk about how they feel about the incidents of the police shooting young men and what should be done to change the prejudice and stereotypes that surround young African American teens. The teens in the video feel like the police continually get away with taking the lives of young black men and there is no justice. This is a serious problem because these young men are being traumatized by the brutality of police officers…

    The documentary entitled Generation Like tries to convince the audience that all teenagers are obsessed with social media and are sucked in to the depths of multiple forms of social media. Throughout the documentary the narrator, Douglas Rushkoff explores the many kinds of social media and how they influence the lives of teens all around the country. He portrays kids to be obsessed with social media and almost makes them look stupid. The argument the film is trying to make it that all kids are obsessed and let social media consume their lives and have nothing to live for but that.

    Dold Hypertension During The Ice Age

    Charles Darwin; the creator and innovator of the theory of evolution deemed the application of human skills of creating of fire the second powerful accomplishment of humankind (Falk,2012). During the Ice Age, Hominidae first learned of natural fires caused by lightnings and used it to their advantage. Our ancestors capability to start a fire help them survived in the extreme weather during the Ice Age (Ancient History,2010). The Earth’s temperature during the Ice Age was about -11.1 degrees Celsius (Moss, n.d.). Indeed, Ancient Greeks and other every other prehistoric civilizations valued fire since they believed it was one of the four elements that accounted for every things in the universe (National Fire Protection Association, n.d).…

    Growing Up In The Film Pariah By Dees Rees

    In the past 21 years of my life, I have watched many films, but Pariah by Dees Rees, is one of the films that is now listed under my favourites collection. I was deeply connected with Pariah and its characters as I believe that it is not necessarily needed for the viewer to be black, lesbian or know someone who is to connect with this film, rather anyone going through the process of growing up will understand this film. As growing up, I too have faced difficulties and challenges that limited me from living my life to the fullest, and with my experience, I can understand what Alike must feel being limited to her life. This film is more so focused on the central conflict between Alike and her family; the struggle between her fighting with her…

    Personal Narrative: What Makes Us Human

    At times I feel as though I'm trying and failing to be a human being. But what makes us human? I feel although I'm a human-shaped shell made out of pieces of things I find interesting. Instead of a real identity. Just layers of things that I hope will make me different from others. But am I? We rely so much on the opinion of others. But why? Why do we crave acceptance of others? If people were to look closely, they'd notice there really isn't anything there.Just a mess of a person trying to find their ‘place in the world. All we want is to be remembered. Just to prove we are something , we where something. How will I be remembered? Or will I fade into oblivion? Is this the meaning of life? To spend it hoping we have some significance in this…

    Personal Narrative: The Struggle Of Life

    Every human struggles everyone has hardship. When I was young I began to notice that maybe it is hard to understand what other people struggle with. The start of a mundane life began as usual a bus ride to school, but today something else happened a flash of yellow a soundless luxury sports car zoomed bass by a Lamborghini. As the car passed by everyone looked at it with amazement as the never seen a car pass from this part of the street. I began to wonder when will I get one with imaginary job I will live the high life. The bus hits a bump on the road I am begging to rationalize who much work will it take to achieve greatness to struggle to overcome adversity.…

    Neanderthal Language

    It is understood that the Neanderthal was an exceptional thinker and communicator; but there are heavy debates that question whether or not it spoke with a language. Some argue that the hyoid bone of the Neanderthal was too high in relation to its larynx to enable its tongue to form words, while others argue the opposite. With respect to both theories, it was indeed a linguistic hominid. The Neanderthal skull is more similar in shape to the Homo sapien than that of hominids before it; which would make it reasonable to believe that it was able to speak using language. Since it was the transitional species however, it may have been limited in its development of language usage.…

    Babies: a Documentary Film

    ‘Babies’ is a documentary film which chronicles the first year of life of four babies spanning the globe. Documentarian Thomas Balmès fans out to the grasslands of Namibia, the plains of Mongolia, the high rises of Tokyo and the busy streets of San Francisco in a study of culture, societal structure, geography and tradition, along with parental love and the impact all these elements have on child rearing. In the hunting and gathering society of Namibia and pastoral Mongolia, Balmès follows Ponijao and Bayar and in postindustrial Tokyo and San Francisco we are introduced to Mari and Hattie. While the 1:18 film has no real dialogue, viewers are able to get a distinct feel for each baby’s personality, the role they play within the family structure and perhaps most importantly, the universal undying love the parents display towards their offspring with the ultimate goal to raise happy and healthy children.…

    Homo Erectus: Pyro Technology

    Fire in human nature has always been a fear and still is, but humans have learned to understand and control fire to their will. In Kenneth Feder’s book “The Past in Perspective an Introduction to Human Prehistory” he stated that “Homo erectus was our first ancestor able to control fire due to the evidence founded at an 800,000 year old site in Gesher Benot Ya ‘aqov, in Israel. Strong evidence has been found there such as burned seeds, wood, and even flint” (110). The capabilities of having…
