Coles Myer Ltd Background and Issues In 1985 G.J Coles, primarily a Melbourne-based supermarket chain, merged with Myer Ltd, an upmarket Melbourne department store, becoming Coles Myer Ltd. The merger was brought on by an expectation of significant cost savings from sharing services and overheads such as purchasing, warehousing, information technology and property. However these benefits never occurred. Coles Myer was burdened with poor management, bad strategic decisions, and internal conflict
One is known for his occupation and what he does and what he withholds from doing. The yakuza is a large crime organization that has thousands of members that span throughout the entire world. They originated in Japan and since then have slowly moved across the globe into many different countries; they even have members in the United States today. *The yakuza is a highly organized crime organization that places great importance in respect and honor and seeks revenge when they do not receive it, they
Magazines have been circulating since 1663 when the first magazine, Edifying Monthly Discussions appeared in Germany. This magazine would be called a literary journal today and was targeted toward an elite, literate audience. The three most influential literary journals in England in the early 18th century were Review, Tatler and Spectator. Ironically the first periodical to use the word magazine in its title was Gentleman’s Magazine in 1731, which was a predecessor to Reader’s Digest. American
Movement is the act of changing physical location or position. Filmmakers have a goal of transmitting a message throughout their film; therefore, they make or create meaning by extensively using the movement technique. This is how a scene is put together to produce an image. Fernando Meirelles directed the Movie City of God, a Brazilian crime drama film. City of God strikingly portrays the evolution of the city’s crime from robbing gas trucks, to a city owned by one boss, Lil Ze; leading to an all
When the West opened up to new settlers, it was a huge change for all. The West was home to not only people but an abundance of resources that impacted us economically. Moving to The West for people was either a win or lose, to say the least. It seemed as though the development of The West brought promises to benefit individuals but not all. One particular program known as the “The Homestead Act, that granted 160 acres of federal land to any applicant and improved the property” (Henretta 475) seemed
Westward movement is the populating of lands, by the Europeans, in what is now known as the United States. The chief resolution of the westward expansion is economic betterment. The United States story begins with westward expansion and even before the Revolutionary war, early settlers were migrating westward into what is now known as the states of Kentucky,Tennessee, parts of the Ohio Valley and the South. Westward Expansion was slowed down by the French and the Native Americans, however the Louisiana
Kody Dejohn Scott, a future infamous gang leader was born in south central Los Angeles, California in 1963. He was one of six children as his step father left his family in 1970. Kody suspected that his real father was actually NFL quarterback Dick Bass and felt that his step father never treated him like his real son because of that (Kody, 2008). Throughout Kody’s younger years his step father physically abused him and his family. With no father figure in his life and a broken home, Kody turned
The Westward Expansion was an important and essential part of the United States growth during the nineteen centuries. The main contributor to this phenomenon was the settlers, agriculture and the construction of the railroad networks. Using this perspective, and through research the author of this paper will analyze the expansion during different decades in the 1800’s. All America benefited from the massive agri-business that has its roots in the West as well as the settling and the construction
Much contention and controversy have historically surrounded the idea that Fred Zinnemann’s High Noon (1952) is the single film that brought an end to what is commonly referred to as the “classical Western." Through a single crucial scene, one important character invokes the ancient advice lent by Aristotle in his seminal work, On Rhetoric, to persuade a town to turn on its hero and change the face of Western's forever. By adhering to the ancient philosopher's notion of ethos, pathos, and logos,
Peter Berg is an award winning director who has his own crazy style, but before he entered the film industry, he went to school at Macalester College, intending to play hockey. But then he discovered film and decided to be a world famous director. Not only is he a director, he is also a producer, writer, and actor. He first found work in the film industry as an actor. He his most remembered as an actor through his role as Dr. Billy Kronk on Chicago Hope. Since then, Berg has moved on to producing
The story of the United States has always been one of westward expansion, beginning along the East Coast and continuing, often by leaps and bounds until it included the Pacific. Theodore Roosevelt described this as “the great leap westward.” As early as 1751, Benjamin Franklin described a destiny for Americans to fill up new lands to the west, and Jefferson, Monroe and Adams all expressed expansionist dreams. The main causes for expansion was Manifest Destiny, economic opportunity, transportation
My primary research question is concerned with the circumstances, in 1915, that led to film production and financial success at the Flying ‘A’ studios in Santa Barbara, California under the leadership of Samuel S. Hutchinson. The success of the studio was thanks to the quality of their production choices, distribution network, and the publicity campaigns of their films. The three key individuals who excelled at performing these roles and that I believe personally led to the studio’s most successful
Max Dupian was born in Ashfield Sydney in 1911, he lived there all of his life, photographing the city from the late 1930’s through to just before his death in 1992. Dupian photographed the architecture, the landscape, the beaches and the cities of Australia. For many Australians, Dupains photographs define our beach culture, and it was the beach that was the inspiration for his most famous and enduring images including The Sunbaker, At Newport and Bondi all capture a moment in time. His 1937 photograph
Turner’s frontier offered an unshakeable ethnocentric and nationalistic view of western history. This is where New Social historians saw an opportunity to fashion a new, more diverse, more conclusive version of westward expansion. Turner’s key ideas of “The American West” and the “frontier” were transformed by a new generation of historians looking to challenge the status quo. One of the most technical problems concerning Turner’s methods was the fact that in studying the frontier, one
Throughout history, many great nations have amassed an immense empire through expansionism, which is a nation's practice or policy of territorial or economic expansion. The United States expansionism was present since it became an independent nation itself. Manifest Destiny, which is the belief that the expansion of the U.S. throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable played a big role in expansionism in the mid 1800’s. The Louisiana purchase from France in 1803 for fifteen
Mara Salvatrucha, commonly known as MS-13, was founded in the city of Los Angeles during the ‘80s. Members in the gang have spread out into at least forty-two states. The ethnicity of the gang mostly consist of Salvadorians, Hondurans, Guatemalans, Mexicans and other Central and South American Immigrants. Much of their criminal activity involves drug distribution, murder, prostitution, rape, kidnapping, robbery, car jacking, and home invasion. Once a member is brought in to the gang, they are in
When analyzed extensivley works of art can be used to reflect different time periods of history. Some works of art that represent the image of the American West in different periods of time are: Thomas Cole’s View from Mount Holyoke, Northampton, Massachusetts, after a Thunderstorm, commonly referred to as The Oxbow (Painting, 1836), John Gast’s American Progress (Painting, 1872), and Dorothea Lange’s The Road West, New Mexico (Photograph, 1938). Each of these images capture the progress of the settlers
A gang is “any durable, street-oriented youth group whose involvement in illegal activity is part of its group identity,” (Agnew & Brezina, 2014). A group who has existed for months, spends much of their time in any public place, and participates in illegal activity may be classified as a street gang. It is very common for gangs to be made up of or include juveniles. Juveniles who join gangs have a variety of reasons to do so. The influence of a friend is a major reason as to why juveniles join
West Side Story as a Teen Film The highly-acclaimed film West Side Story (Wise & Robbins dir.1961; henceforth WSS) is perhaps most strongly associated with the musical genre—not unreasonably. Based on its theatrical predecessor with music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents, WSS won ten Academy Awards including Best Picture, and ranks second on the American Film Institute’s list of Greatest Movie Musicals. However, the film is also a strong example of
