The internet is one of the most revolutionary inventions of all time. The web makes it easier than ever to connect with other people, whether that person is on the other side of town or the other side of the world. We can instantly share what is going on in our life with a click of a mouse, we can do our banking on the internet, watch movies, and shop on the web. Despite being the most revolutionary invention ever, the internet does have an effect on the way we think and do work.

...ollution are depressing. Wetlands appear to be protected in the United States, but are still being destroyed by over development and pollution. I was a little shocked to see the amount of water the private water companies have bought rights to world-wide. I was even more shocked to learn the amount of water rights the private water companies had here in the United States. Many areas in the United States has outsourced our water to private companies already. Privatization is not just a problem abroad, it is also happening here at home.

The film relates to human growth and development in a sense that water is essential to us so therefore we cannot live without it. It provides us with energy and most important function is to help remove toxins from the body. The film was very informative it helps to gain a new perspective as to what is happening in other counties with their day to day challenges. A very sad story was being told about what these people are going through in Iran Salinas’ words “Many have live without love but not without water”

When adapting a novel, there are three different ways directors can translate that into a film. They may take on the literal, traditional or radical interpretation of their adaptation of the novel; in Joe Wright’s 2005 Pride and Prejudice, he takes on the traditional interpretation. This translation demonstrates the same ideas, central conflicts, and characters as those of Austen’s novel 1813 novel, Pride and Prejudice.

Our documentary drama piece is on how migrants are unable to simply seek refuge here in Australia. Bertolt Brecht a German play writer has helped us achieve this goal as we have brought upon a range of techniques which teaches the audience to think and to remind themselves that what they have watched is theatre not real life. Important techniques which he uses include narration, song, use of placards and projection, simple staging, utilising sets, props and costumes and changing character. These help to break up the action the audience have witnesses and not become emotionally attached. Our group have incorporated these techniques into our play to create a powerful performance which raises the issue of migrants coming to Australia.
