“The Line- 2007” is an award-winning film directed and written by Kent Basset and Mariah Montgomery. Throughout this film, there’s a significant exchange between Arizona natives and Mexican natives. The Arizona natives in this film live and work on the Arizona-Mexico border to protect their homelands from the Mexican migrants. However, due to the language barrier and the reliance of sub-titles I focused a lot of my attention on the film’s setup and the use of space to keep track of the storyline
Synopsis In 2003, Starbucks was listed as one of the Fortune 500. Despite the ongoing recession, the company had managed a 31% increase in net revenues for the year. This was reasonable, considering they only spent about 1% of total sales on marketing. All of this, coupled with the fact that they were popular with customers and employees, was a sure recipe for success. While their domestic figures were rosy, the international operations were losing ground. The once profitable Japanese market was
The financial crisis in 2007 was one of the most influential economic periods in history because it happened on such a global scale. Globalization has lead to economies becoming increasingly interdependent on each other (Nations, n.d.) So when one economy experiences economic turmoil another economy may begin to have issues. ‘By the middle of 2009, it was impossible to find a single major country in the world that had not felt the consequences’ (Bootle, 2010, Page 6) Arguably, one of the main causes
The U.S. financial crisis of 2007–2008 is considered one of the worst financial crises since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It almost made large financial institutions collapse and stock markets declined in a dramatic way around the world. The consumer wealth declined in trillions of U.S. dollars and played a significant part in the failure of key businesses and declines in economic activities. All these factors led to the 2007–2008 global recession and played a major role in contributing to
Self Portrait, 2007 by Chuck Close The artwork that ignited my interest at the High Museum of Art was the Self Portrait, 2007 by Chuck Close. In this particular painting, Close was influenced by a printing technique used in Japan known as nishiki-e. The nishiki-e technique involves multicolored wooden block printings, which would have a specific engraving on it and then arranged in a particular way to make an image. Close liked to experiment and combine different styles and techniques such as

In his essay, “Deciderization; 2007,” David Foster Wallace Argues: Part of our emergency is that it’s so tempting to do this sort of thing now, to retreat to narrow arrogance, pre-formed positions, rigid filter, the ‘moral clarity’ of the immature. The alternative is dealing with massive, high- entropy amounts of info and ambiguity and conflict and flux; its continually discovering new areas of personal ignorance and delusion. In sum, to really try to be informed and literate today is to feel stupid
In the film Freedom Writers (2007), there are two social policies that are depicted through the film.

Herman Miller started its operations back in 1905 under the name Star Furniture Company, a manufacturer of traditional-style bedroom suites located in Zeeland, Michigan.
