Last October 3, 10 and 12, 2012 it was a hot afternoon when we watch a movie entitled Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story, this movie was related to our last topic in management 5. Instead of having a formal meeting in our subject in Social Responsibility and Good Governance, we need to watch because after that we need to have a reaction paper regarding the movie.

In the beginning, the story makes me feel bored of watching and listening because the audio and the cast of the movie speak very fast and I don’t understand what they saying. And another reason is somebody caught my attention or maybe I’m not used to watch a movie at noon. However, the last day of the movie story, I had the opportunity to listen carefully to the thoughts and moral lessons of the movie I realized it was interesting.

Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story is just one of the many versions, where the setting, time and place may be different, but they have one similar scope and ending. In this case, the giant dying, and Jack running away with the giant’s riches. It was directed by Brian Henson, the cast includes Matthew Modine as the modern day inheritor of Jack, Mia Sara as a mysterious woman attempting to bring him to justice for the murder of a giant, Jon Voight as the descendant's greedy manager and Vanessa Redgrave an elderly relative of the inheritor etc.

The story begins in a wealthy businessman Jack Robinson with no time for anything but to work. His building a new casino on the site of the family castle in England. During the construction, the workers discover the skeleton of a giant. A mysterious young woman called Ondine appears and accuses Jack of being "a thief and a murderer". The man goes to the old Jack’s house and sees an old woman whom Jack recognizes as a great-aunt who he believed was dead. The old woman tells him the traditional version of the "Jack and the Beanstalk" in which the giant is portrayed as a selfish. Because of the doubt, Jack decides to go

    In Jack and the Beanstalk and Kate and the Beanstalk, the meaning that is supposed to come out of both of the books is very similar. In both books, they want the readers to know that good will always wins over evil. The plot contrasts some from both books. In Jack and the Beanstalk, the tall woman warned him to leave unless he wanted to be a meal, but in Kate in the Beanstalk every time Kate climbed up the beanstalk the woman asked her for help to cook for the giant. Jack stole the stuff from the giant to help his family, while Kate stole from the giant to help a girl and her mom because the giant had killed the girl’s father, which was a knight. In Kate and the Beanstalk, characters were added that was not in the folktale Jack and the…

    Sous-entendu, by Anne Stevenson is a short poem, with a powerful message that isn’t quite clear to readers. The title itself is French for, “hidden meaning” or “implication”. “It describes something left unsaid but assumed to be understood” (939). It is written from a women’s point of view, on how we interpret the way men look at us. The narrator is speaking to men in general, not necessarily directing the poem at one specific man.…

    This text is all about the writer’s experience during her first days of teaching. This is entitled “A Classroom Full of Flowers” and is written by Janice Anderson Connelly herself. I can say that she is really a good teacher based in what she did to her students. She did a good job not giving up in that class, which almost everyone has given up to. After reading the text I felt really touched and proud by what the students did to her and vice versa. I was also touched by the relationship they established as time passes.…

    Strategy is the most important and highest risk activity of an organization's leadership. Whether small or large, very few organizations and leaders understand what it takes to create an effective and useful strategic plan. Terminology is often confusing, plan documents gather dust, and planning processes get bogged down without effective implementation. Too often, the result of an investment in strategic planning is an organizational cynicism and resulting detachment between the strategic plan and the day-to-day realities of the organization.
