Slides from a talk by Danny Dorling at the Oxford Empathy Festival, Blackwell’s Bookshop, Oxford, June 8th 2015. See more information at http://www.dannydorling.org/?p=4742
This document provides context and information about the 1999 film Fight Club, directed by David Fincher. It discusses the controversial and unconventional nature of the film. It was funded by Twentieth Century Fox but portrayed a story that was critical of consumerism and capitalism. The film was delayed in release due to concerns over depicting violence after the Columbine shooting. It received mixed reviews for its portrayal of masculinity and misogyny but has become a cult classic.
Public Enemies is a 2009 crime film directed by Michael Mann that tells the story of famous bank robber John Dillinger and his pursuit by FBI agent Melvin Purvis in 1930s America during the Great Depression. It follows Dillinger, labeled public enemy number one, as he carries out bank robberies while being hunted by Purvis and the newly formed FBI under J. Edgar Hoover. Using new investigative methods, Purvis closes in on Dillinger and his gang, culminating in a climactic confrontation between Dillinger and the FBI.
The document discusses how major world events like 9/11 and trends like globalization have impacted the horror film industry. After 9/11, horror films depicting mass destruction were banned, and the industry shifted to producing patriotic films celebrating American heroism. As the effects of 9/11 faded, the horror genre rebounded with remakes of classics and torture films. The industry has also leveraged fears around issues like terrorism, climate change, and a globalized world to create new types of scary stories and movies. However, depicting real-world tragedies requires sensitivity to avoid causing offense. The future of the genre remains uncertain as filmmakers navigate these complex issues.
The document discusses several topics related to documentaries and feature films including:
1. The differences between documentaries and feature films with documentaries typically being shorter, having lower production values, and more journalistic style while feature films increasingly integrate documentary footage.
2. Box office figures for the top 10 documentaries of all time led by Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine.
3. Influential early documentaries like Nanook of the North and propaganda films like Triumph of the Will that were designed to induce action.
The document discusses several topics related to documentaries and feature films including:
1) Differences between documentaries and feature films such as documentaries being shorter, having lower production values, and more journalistic style with interviews.
2) Top 10 highest grossing documentaries at the box office led by Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine.
3) Influential documentaries such as Nanook of the North and The Sorrow and the Pity.
4) Controversy over the work of Michael Moore and accusations of bias in his documentaries.
Todd Phillips is an American filmmaker known for directing comedies like Road Trip and the Hangover trilogy, as well as the dark comic book film Joker. Phillips moved away from comedy due to concerns over "woke culture" on social media making it difficult to be funny. He felt irreverent comedy was no longer possible, so he applied that sensibility to a comic book film by turning the genre "on its head" with Joker.
Documentary Analysis - Bowling for columbineCoreyC
Michael Moore's documentary Bowling for Columbine explores the high rate of gun violence in America. He interviews people living in communities affected by mass shootings about how these events impacted their lives and why such tragedies continue. Moore uses sarcasm and shocking facts to emphasize the problem. For example, he cites a Chris Rock comedy bit about raising bullet prices and statistics showing America's gun deaths far exceed other countries. Moore's expository method of voicing facts in a sudden, informative way makes the problem's gravity clear and is an effective technique the document summarizer would employ in their own work.
This document provides IABC London's list of the best and worst communications of 2016. The nice communications include Innovation Works crowdsourcing campaign, Canada's Syrian refugee program, The Tragically Hip's concert tour to raise awareness of indigenous issues, and Michelle Obama's speech criticizing Trump's comments on sexually assaulting women. The naughty communications include Apple calling removing the audio port "courage", Montreal's ugly Christmas tree, Melania Trump plagiarizing a speech, and Donald Trump's controversial presidential campaign.

David Fincher is one of Hollywood's most influential directors known for directing defining films over the last few decades in dark, thriller, and dramatic genres. Some of his most notable and acclaimed films include Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. While his films The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Panic Room were more flawed or forgettable works, Fincher is still considered one of the top directors working today and has the potential to produce more incredible films in the future given his skills with visuals and dramatic storytelling.
Mainstream horror films are distributed widely in movie theaters and by major studios like Hollywood, targeting middle class teenagers and adults with realistic and gory content that could happen in real life, often having multiple sequels like the Scream franchise. Independent horror films are standalone projects without sequels from independent production companies, like The Cabin in the Woods which targets middle class males ages 15-30 with its dark and sinister storyline.
Selma is a 2014 historical drama film directed by Ava DuVernay that depicts the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches led by Martin Luther King Jr. and the work of activists who helped advance voting rights. Much of the film was shot on location in Selma, Alabama and other areas of Georgia to authentically portray the events. While the film received praise for its portrayal of the civil rights movement, some critics argued it presented an inaccurate depiction of white southerners at the time.
Lizzie is walking down the street on her phone when a dark figure rushes out and grabs her. Her friends and the police start searching for her after her phone is found and she has been missing for days. Meanwhile, Lutum is shown abusing drugs at home while his friend Dan urges him to stop, though Lutum insists it feels good. Later, Lutum is seen sitting on a park bench, falling over while rejecting any offers of help. The timeline ends with Lutum falling with his eyes wide open as the picture fades to black.
Breaking Bad was a 5 season drama series on AMC that followed Walter White, a chemistry teacher diagnosed with cancer, as he enters the meth business to secure his family's financial future. Each episode ran 48-58 minutes and featured subplots that advanced the overarching story. The show aimed to generate sympathy for Walt and portray him as a victim of a system that failed to support him in his time of need. It received critical acclaim and high ratings, exploring themes of American individualism, government responsibility, and one man's moral decline.
This document provides a summary of the film "Zero Dark Thirty" which depicts the decade-long manhunt for Osama Bin Laden that culminated in his death in 2011. It discusses the controversy around the film's portrayal of torture and its focus on a single female CIA agent leading the hunt. Reviews were mixed, with government and military officials criticizing inaccuracies while the film was a financial success.
The document describes the opening title sequence of the film The Strangers. It begins with the Universal studio logo fading in, followed by the logos of Rogue Pictures and Intrepid Pictures. Next, text appears crediting Vertigo Entertainment and Mandate Pictures as the production companies. Warning text then appears stating the film is inspired by true events. More text provides FBI statistics on violent crime in America and sets up the film's plot about a couple returning to a summer home where a brutal event takes place. Neighborhood tracking shots are shown as the opening credits conclude.
The document provides an overview and analysis of the television show Breaking Bad. It summarizes that the show's purpose is to depict how an ordinary man, Walter White, is forced to enter the criminal world of drug dealing in order to pay for cancer treatment and support his family. It describes the show's style, including episode length and structure. Key characters, locations, genres, target audience, and production process are outlined.
The document provides details about a short film project called "Isolated" that will be set in the thriller genre. It will tell the story of Thomas, a man in his thirties who grew up in an unstable environment and dealt with abusive parents and mental health issues like depression. Now he lives alone in a run-down council estate with a high crime rate. The film will show both sides of Thomas' personality and how he struggles with his demons and depression. It will have just one main character, Thomas, told from his point of view, and will also feature his parents in memories. The target audience would be ages 15 and up, especially those living in council estates who could relate to the character, and the film aims to
The document discusses three crime/action films: American Gangster, Goodfellas, and The Godfather. American Gangster is about a drug lord played by Denzel Washington who builds a drug empire, and a clean cop played by Russell Crowe who tries to take him down. Goodfellas follows a streetwise kid who works his way up the gangster hierarchy until one is killed and the others get arrested. The Godfather depicts a New York mafia family and the mob war that ensues after an attempt on the don's life. The document also notes that the big named stars and well-written stories are what attract the viewer to these types of crime genre films. Word of mouth and film marketing
This document summarizes racism in various fields as discussed in Frantz Fanon's work "Black Skin, White Masks" and other literary works. It discusses how racism is portrayed in works like Othello and The Hairy Ape, and how society historically viewed black people as ugly, unintelligent, inferior, and associated black skin with bad luck. It also discusses how colonialism and advertisements promoted white beauty standards and created an inferiority complex among black people. However, it notes that views are changing as black people gain more prominent roles and power in society.
Sex sells and is prevalent in the media and popular music. The media presents everything in a sexual manner which encourages teenagers to have sex at younger ages. Playboy magazine sells almost as many copies as popular magazines like TIME and People. Recent hit songs from 2009 to 2010 that reached number one on the charts contained sexually explicit lyrics. While today's music focuses on sex, popular songs from the past were also sexually suggestive. Sexual content in the media and music sells more than non-sexual alternatives.
Dystopian narratives often depict a negative future where society is oppressive and unpleasant. They frequently feature a totalitarian government, loss of civil rights, and human oppression. Examples discussed include the films Divergent and The Hunger Games, which portray futures with harsh environments and societies divided into factions or districts vying against each other.
This document provides an overview for a video game about a political revolution. It describes the game as an action-adventure genre where the player can choose to side with either the government or revolution and interact with other characters. The game aims to avoid sexualizing characters and allow the player to choose from different gender, racial, and non-binary options. The narrative involves a mind-altering drug that allows people to see the true state of the world and the player must either distribute it as part of the revolution or eliminate it if siding with the government. The game will feature non-linear gameplay with multiple possible endings.
The 2012 conspiracy thriller "Letters of the Illuminati" follows an ordinary office worker who finds himself embroiled in an assassination plot targeting a powerful global figure. Directed and written by Joe Tapner, Chris Abbott, Tom Rodhouse, and Imanul Islam, the film stars Chris Abbott as the assassin and was filmed on location in Cambridge, United Kingdom on a budget of £35 million.
This document discusses how movies can be used as a weapon to influence and mold youth. It notes that the main target is 12-25 year olds and outlines how movies attract viewers through elements like posters, trailers, music and themes. It also examines how movies can mold youth according to their aims by affecting culture and the stories viewers store in their brains, making it hard to separate fact from fiction. Surveys show that by age 18 the average person has watched 8000 acts of violence and 100000 televised murders. The document gives smoking and imitation of WWE wrestling as examples of harmful behaviors that have increased among youth due to movie influence. It concludes that control of the mind and awareness programs are needed to counter the negative effects.
Emilia Waterhouse, Jack Archer, and Ed Cefai are researching genres for their media project. They had originally considered action but decided social realism was a better fit given their narrative idea and location. Social realism focuses on contemporary social issues and rejects common film conventions. It is similar to drama but emphasizes issues relevant to society. Popular topics include class, poverty, drugs, and politics. Social realism films often feature unknown actors and depict different classes, especially the working class.
The document discusses different ways that teenagers have historically been represented in media. It describes how teenagers in the 1950s were often portrayed negatively as the cause of social problems through the creation of "moral panics". However, media also began promoting a more positive "teen as fun" image to encourage teenage consumerism by portraying them enjoying music, fashion and movies. Even today, teenagers tend to be represented through either the "trouble" stereotype, threatening adult culture, or the "clean teen" stereotype exploiting their identity for commercial purposes.

The New Acropolis Museum in Athens was inaugurated in 2009 after years of planning and construction. The $200 million museum spans 226,000 square feet of glass and concrete and is located near the base of the Acropolis, providing views of the Parthenon. Although originally intended to open in 2004 for the Olympics, legal battles delayed completion of the project until 2009.
Ronald Reagan was the 46th president of the United States and considered a hero by many Americans. He helped end the Cold War and shape the U.S. government through his strong beliefs. Reagan also helped many immigrants become citizens and fixed the American economy after the Great Depression. He was born in 1911 in Illinois and had a background in radio, film, and politics before becoming president in 1981.
This document discusses the representation of youth in contemporary British cinema. It analyzes films like "Harry Brown" and "Eden Lake" that portray teenage hoodies as monsters threatening normality. These films reflect a middle-class fear of the working class. In contrast, "Attack the Block" initially depicts hoodies as monsters but later portrays them sympathetically as heroes. The document discusses how entertainment can offer utopian feelings through elements like energy, abundance, and community. It also references theorists like Gramsci, Giroux, and Hebdige to analyze representations of youth and their relationship to social norms.

The document discusses the development of the concept of the "teenager" in the 1950s and analyzes representations of youth in classic films from different decades. It notes that prior to WWII, teenagers were expected to take on adult responsibilities like jobs or marriage at a young age. However, in the 1950s the rise of rock n' roll, consumerism, and public education led to the creation of teenage independence and rebellion against parents. The media often portrayed teenagers negatively as juvenile delinquents to play on parental fears. The film Rebel Without a Cause from 1955 explores the issues faced by rebellious teenagers and generational conflicts through the characters of Jim, Judy, and Plato.

Another World is Inevitable: Mapping UK General ElectionsDanny Dorling
This lecture by Professor Danny Dorling (held at the British Library 28 Nov 2016) is about how British general elections have been mapped in the past, but with a concentration on the very recent past and especially in 2015. There will also be speculation about what the future may hold, not just in terms of new political mapping techniques but in the much wider range of possible electoral outcomes we should consider as being plausible. Rather like meteorologists, political scientists have a tendency to use recent events to predict the political weather. However, if and when the climate changes, what was once thought to be impossible becomes reality. From choosing which colours to use to depict a growing range of parties on the map, through to how we might depict uncertainly in our predictions, we have choices to make. Danny will ask how ready we are to entertain the possibility of rapid change. Eventually everything always changes. At some times change comes quickly.

The EU - Should we stay or should we go?Danny Dorling
This document discusses several issues related to the UK's membership in the EU. It notes that inequality is higher in the UK than other EU countries. It also discusses polarization in the UK, differences in health and education outcomes compared to other developed nations, and issues related to the UK's declining global power and changing national identity. Overall, it argues that leaving the EU will not necessarily solve the UK's problems and that the EU is not responsible for many domestic issues like inequality and underfunding of healthcare.
The Geography of our Future: Understanding the consequences of the AnthropoceneDanny Dorling
This document discusses the concept of the Anthropocene and how humans have become a dominant geological force impacting the Earth. It outlines 5 potential stages of the Anthropocene from early agriculture to the current Great Acceleration period, noting key events like the Columbian Exchange and Industrial Revolutions that drove major environmental changes. While some impacts were small prior to the 1800s, the document argues that the scale of human influences has grown enormously in recent centuries through population growth, consumption, and the rise of neoliberal capitalism. It questions whether future trends could lead to severe environmental consequences like a 4°C rise in temperatures, and explores potential pathways to a more equitable and sustainable future geography.

Theories of Potential and the Creation of InequalityDanny Dorling
This document discusses theories of potential and how inequality is created. It touches on several topics:
- How individual characteristics like looks, sex, height can affect snap judgments and influence potential but societal factors matter most.
- Potential is influenced by many factors from early life through adulthood, including family circumstances, where one lives, and access to opportunities like internships.
- While some argue only a few have great potential, the document argues potential is collective and not realizing everyone's potential perpetuates inequality. Genes may provide small advantages but no "super genes"; environment and society are larger influences on one's path in life.

It shows that there was a decline in manufacturing jobs and a rise in finance sector employment, contributing to a polarization of industries. Additionally, it found an increase in both high-paid professional occupations and low-paid elementary jobs, further segmenting society. A key trend was a rise in dual-income households and declining numbers of people who are permanently sick or disabled.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
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.

2. This is what I promised
We are living in the most remarkable and
dangerous times. Globally, the richest 1% have
never held a greater share of world wealth, while
the share of most of the other 99% has collapsed in
the last five years. In this fully rewritten and
updated edition of Injustice, Dorling offers hope of
a more equal society.
(you could query ‘collapsed’ – but more importantly
‘hope’)
3. How pro-social are you?
• My friends burst out laughing when I
suggested I could talk about empathy
• They had a point…
• But what we really need to understand is a
lack of empathy…. Which is what “Injustice” is
about
13. We are helped by Sajid Javid
• The new Business Secretary who was reported
in the Conservative Home website on January
13th this year to have “I read the courtroom
scene from ‘The Fountainhead’ to my future
wife!” –

14. When I was watching raiders of the
lost Ark – Javid was watching….
• King Vidor’s 1949 adaptation of Ayn Rand’s
The Fountainhead, scripted by Rand herself
and starring Gary Cooper as the individualist
architect Howard Roark.
Javid only entered the political world after a
highly successful – and lucrative – career in the
financial sector. He started as a trader in New
York for Chase Manhattan, and by the age of
25 was the youngest vice-president in the
bank’s history. Head-hunted to join
Deutschebank, Javid’s stellar rise was well
remunerated, with his personal wealth said to
be comfortably in the millions.

15. This is what a 12 year old felt!
Javid explained that this … is the most important [Film] to
him. He first watched it on television in 1981, aged 12,
and even then it struck him as “a film that was
articulating what I felt”. From there, he soon read the
book, wore out a VHS copy of the film, and brought his
enthusiasm for all things Fountainhead with him to
university. He even admitted, with a self-deprecating grin,
that “I read the courtroom scene to my future wife!”
The Culture Secretary now makes sure to read that scene
to himself at least twice a year. You can watch the movie’s
version of it here…..
