The final post discussed planning ideas but lacked evidence of the underlying research supporting them. Overall, the research showed potential but response and in-depth analysis of sources was often missing.

This document discusses specific media elements that are commonly used in action movies to attract audiences interested in realistic portrayals of criminal activity and law enforcement. It provides examples from films of each element:

2) A secret KKK meeting on a pier in Bad Boys 2 mirrors how criminal activity actually takes place in secret locations.
3) The prevalence of firearms in action movies appeals to audiences because guns can dramatically change the pace of a scene from casual to a high-speed shootout.
4) Car chases are commonly seen when criminals flee the scene of a crime

El documento describe cómo los antiguos egipcios utilizaban una cuerda con nudos equidistantes para construir triángulos rectángulos sin saber que estaban aplicando una terna pitagórica. Pitágoras se dio cuenta de que los lados de estos triángulos cumplían que el cuadrado de la hipotenusa era igual a la suma de los cuadrados de los catetos, y probó que esta propiedad se cumplía para todos los triángulos rectángulos, lo que se conoce como el Teorema de Pitágoras.

STAR COMPOSITIONS (ACCIDENT AT THE PARK) - Useedptst2011
On a sunny day, two children, Mary and Sammy, went to the park. While jogging, they heard croaking and saw a toad. Sammy excitedly leapt at the toad but lost his balance and fell into the pond, getting covered in debris. Mary pulled him out but he was still wet. Sammy had learned his lesson to think before acting.
