The power of social class in peaky blinders
The video analyzes a scene from Peaky Blinders that depicts a power struggle between the working class character Tommy and the upper class character Campbell. Though Tommy possesses valuable information, his social class puts inherent limits on his power and autonomy. Campbell asserts his dominance through intimidation tactics and reminding Tommy that his upper class status allows him to operate without consequences. Ultimately, the scene highlights how social class influences political and social power in British society during the 1920s, with those higher in class generally able to exert more control and face fewer restrictions than those of lower standing.
Question 2
The document discusses how different social groups are represented in the author's zombie film opening. It describes how various characters represent different social classes, genders, and ages through their clothing, behaviors, and roles in the story. Both stereotypical and non-stereotypical portrayals are used. For example, the upper class news reporter dresses nicely and gives orders, while the lower class female character Beth hides fearfully in her room. However, the teenage male character Leo challenges expectations by fighting zombies with weapons. Locations like the newsroom and abandoned hallway also reinforce stereotypes about status and danger. Overall, the author aims to represent a range of social identities while telling a compelling zombie story.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Class and status
- 1. By Eleanor Guiver and Edie Murray CLASS AND STATUS
- 2. This has much in common with issues around urban v rural which can be seen with regional identity. Clothing codes are often crucial, but so are accent and speech: use of slang v complex language. Possessions and housing are key factors. Camera angles can be used to establish class difference, as seen in the opening of Tess of the D’Urbevilles with the minister high up on horseback and the humble peasant literally beneath him. In dramas with a degree of comedy (‘dramedy’) the clash between the classes will be used as a source of humour, the refines tastes of the ABC1s (middle to upper class) clashing with those of the C2DEs (lower-middle class to working class). Class identity is established in Monarch of the Glen partially through choice of drink, and the receptacle (container) it is poured from: from the cheap lager of Shameless to the decantered brandy of MofG. The easily offended sensibilities of the middle classes are also often a source of humour. With working class characters, the key stereotype tends to revolve around crime, though laziness can also be commonly seen. KEY IDEAS: refined/sophisticated v crude/backwards, eg with language, choice of drinks, clothing; often similar to urban v rural; power/less; victim v criminal SOCIAL CLASS AND STATUS
- 3. http://www.tubechop.com/watch/7015370 In this clip we see Michelle and Abbie having a conflict. We can tell that Abbie is a higher social class than Michelle because she is wearing a private school uniform and looks more polished. Also after Michelle slaps Abbie she doesn’t retaliate showing that she has been brought up to not be violent. Abbie mentions her mother’s profession implying that she is higher up on the social class ladder than Michelle. Abbie also talks with a posh and snobby accent whereas Michelle sounds more common. (Urban vs. Rural) MICHELLE AND ABBIE
- 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk5hKomP4MA In this clip at about 45 seconds Tywin approaches Joffrey on the Iron Throne. The camera angles that are used are a low angle on Joffrey to show power as he is the king and a high angle on Tywin to show that he is being looked down on. Interestingly, the power exchange is played with as Tywin is Joffrey’s Granddad however Joffrey still looks down on him because Joffrey’s status as king is higher. (Power vs. powerless) KING JOFFREY- GAME OF THRONES
- 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O0b7jmGcC4 In this clip, Marie tells some homeowners her 'life story' which she is making up. In her fantasy, she is rich, materialistic and well travelled, and her made up character makes her seem well spoken and well dressed. Marie wants to seem as though she is upper class and boasts about her husbands profession and the opportunities she has been offered eg. living in London. In reality, Marie is the same status as the rest of the characters in the scene- if not lower. (Refined vs. sophisticated) MARIE-BREAKING BAD
- 6. DOWNTON ABBEY Downton Abbey has definite class divides. The upper class characters are very rich and well spoken and the lower class characters tend to work for the upper class. When the boy on the bike hands the man the newspaper and tries to talk to him, the man stops him in a snooty and rude way, and looks down on him. The lower class characters aren’t given as many lines and are made out to be less intelligent. There is a clear indication of power in this TV drama and accurately represents the way the lower class were treated.
- 7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G93CralgR0Y Sherlock Holmes represents his higher status to Watson with his cockiness, he does this because he knows he is more intelligent than Watson and wants to show off. Sherlock is also wearing smarter clothing than Watson to show his professionalism and is slightly intimidating towards Watson. Sherlock also mentions Watson’s personal details as a way to dominate him and ensure that he doesn’t play up. SHERLOCK HOLMES
