The document discusses themes of authority and obedience in Sophocles' play Antigone and compares them to modern examples. In Antigone, Creon's decision to deny burial rites to Polynices is quietly disagreed with by the townspeople, who do not openly challenge his authority. Similarly, North Korean citizens outwardly accept Kim Jong Il's censorship and anti-American stances despite potentially holding different private views, obeying his authority without protest. The document argues this reflects a human tendency to conform to a leader's directives regardless of personal beliefs to avoid consequences of dissent.

Extortion and The D.C. Madam
The document outlines a deceptive and unethical 7-step process to manipulate politicians into supporting policies they oppose:
1) Make them feel important to inflate their ego. 2) Make them feel protected to lower their guard. 3) Get them to compromise themselves, such as with illegal or embarrassing acts. 4) Document any compromising acts to gain leverage. 5) Leak rumors to create public suspicion. 6) Wait for them to try covering it up and document that. 7) Threaten exposure unless they comply with demands. The goal is to trade away freedoms in exchange for the manipulators' silence.

This document provides a treatment for adapting the video game "The Last of Us" into a film. It outlines key details such as the title keeping the original name, a runtime of 120 minutes, and genres of post-apocalyptic science fiction, action adventure drama with horror elements. The plot involves Joel escorting teenage Ellie across a post-pandemic United States as she may hold the key to curing the infected. Three key scenes are described that showcase the character development and realistic portrayal of violence and emotion. The core audience is fans of the video game and genre fans, with a broad age range appealed to from teens to adults. Constraints in adapting the graphic material and opportunities through filmmaking technology advances are discussed
He Controls Me Because He Loves Me
This document analyzes the portrayal of gender roles in the popular vampire television shows True Blood, Twilight, and The Vampire Diaries. Through a content analysis of the first seasons, it finds that female characters commonly display submissive behaviors and are dependent on controlling male vampires. It suggests these stories promote the idea that women should submit to men, even if they are monsters, as long as they claim to love them. The author argues this sends an unhealthy message to young audiences and could groom women to accept domination and men to expect submission in relationships. More research is needed analyzing a wider range of popular media targeting youth.
Prejudice
The document defines and discusses different types of prejudice found in The Merchant of Venice, including racial, religious, and sexism. It provides examples of prejudices exhibited by main characters like Antonio, Portia, and Shylock. The roots of prejudice discussed include hatred, vengeance, differences, and societal opinion. Key events where prejudices first appear are also outlined, such as Portia's initial discussion of suitors and Antonio's meeting with Shylock. The consequences of prejudices portrayed are that Jews are seen as stereotypical villains, and Shylock is ultimately punished and forced to convert to Christianity.
Narrative structure
The document summarizes several narrative theories and applies them to analyze the structure and key elements of the film being discussed. It describes Todorov's theory of narrative equilibrium involving an initial balanced state, a disruption, and a new resolved equilibrium. This theory is seen in the film's portrayal of Stacey deceiving others at first, then killing her husband as disruption, and seducing the detective to regain control. It also explains Levi-Strauss' theory of binary opposites like good vs evil and strong vs weak being present between Stacey and those she manipulates. Finally, it notes Barthes' idea of narratives containing mysteries, seen in the film through questions raised about Stacey's identities and behavior.

Narrative
The document discusses several theories of narrative structure:

2. Levi-Strauss's theory that narratives contain binary opposites such as good vs evil.

E2a2 signall and ostrove (1975) attractiveness
In a 1975 study, Signall and Ostrove sought to determine whether attractiveness affects jury decision making. They presented 120 participants with a crime scenario and photo of the defendant, Barbara Helms. Participants were split into groups that saw an attractive or unattractive photo of Barbara accused of either burglary or fraud. The results showed that attractive defendants received shorter prison sentences for burglary but longer sentences for fraud, suggesting attractiveness can influence juror perceptions of guilt based on the type of crime committed.
Narrative structure
The document discusses two narrative theories and applies them to analyze the structure of the film "Titanic" and an original film. Todorov's theory states that narratives follow an equilibrium-disruption-new equilibrium structure. This pattern is seen in "Titanic".

These opposing forces can be seen in the original film between the protagonist's evil intentions and her victim's goodness.

E4a1 how defendant characteristics affect jury decision making
Psychologists have studied how defendant characteristics can affect jury decision-making. Research has found that racial stereotypes can influence jurors, with mock juries more likely to find black defendants guilty compared to white defendants who committed the same crime, and give black defendants harsher sentences. Additional research has shown attractive defendants are judged as less guilty and given lower sentences than unattractive defendants. Accent also influences jurors, with regional accents viewed more negatively than posh accents in some cases. These findings suggest jurors may be swayed by superficial characteristics rather than just the evidence.

Antigone

Example director's concept
This production of Anna in the Tropics will focus on the theme of tradition versus technology, depicting the warmth of Latin culture contrasted with the cold efficiency of industry in a cigar factory. The debate around hiring a lector illustrates the conflict between maintaining cultural traditions or employing modern cost-cutting methods. The director envisions setting the play in a dark, earthy factory setting decorated with sentimental items, with the characters dressed in light, flowing clothing. Dim, sepia-toned lighting will create a vintage look, while radio and live readings will reflect the cultural influences in the story through sound design.
Antigone and my world

Antigone connection
- 1. Antigone Connections Reece Wright Natasha Espanola
- 2. Thesis Statement In the play, Antigone, by Sophocles, one of the themes that connects to the real world is the tendency to always follow authority.
- 3. Antigone Example An example of people always following authority is when Creon was arguing with Antigone, and she told him that nobody in the town agrees with his decision, but they are not going to disagree with him because he is in a position of authority.
- 4. Real World Example In North Korea, Kim Jong Il has a lot of beliefs about how the people of his nation should not be exposed to Western ways, therefore causing him to censor the internet. Kim Jong Il also hates the United States, so he is influencing everyone in his nation to hate the United States as well, even though the United States has not done anything to them directly. They are just agreeing with his beliefs because he is in a position of autority.
- 5. Connection Everyone listening to Creon connects to the situation in North Korea because even though the citizens might not have the same beliefs as the person in authority, they decide to just agree with them, to avoid consequences of disagreement, or possibly they wish to model their life after the person in authority.
- 6. Concessions and Refutations Someone might argue that the people didn’t agree with Creon’s decision because he was protested by a couple of people. I would respond to this by saying the majority of the citizens didn’t agree with him, but bowed their head to authority and decided not to express their beliefs.
