So how does the Santa Cruz EF appeal to the communities and their audiences? As stated above, the Santa Cruz EF host weekly meetings where people can learn or input their opinions on certain environmental injustice.

For instance, the idea of not moving unless they are being detained, has been used through students’ movements, women's movements, and many more. And, through history with the mention movements, the no-compromise stance has been indeed effective because the activist movements have change the world drastically. Moving on, the tree-sitter strategy has been proven that it has been effective in slowing down the process of deforestation by large corporations. This is true because many corporations do not cut down trees that have people in it since they do not want to harm the individuals. However, I believe that the tree-sitter tactic is very sketchy and dangerous because even if the tree does not get cut, the safety issues are a concern. The tree-sitter can fall off from the tree, also, he or she can even harm the native birds that lives in the tree, and much more. Therefore, the Santa Cruz EF should figure out another tactic to slow down the process of deforestation. For instance, the strategy of surrounding the trees with about 2 to 3 bodies will be much safer and perhaps more effective. This may be true because by being next to the tree, the individuals can talk with the corporation's representative and the safety hazard will be

Andrew Largeman's (Zack Braff) journey throughout "Garden State" seems to be a testament on the meaning of liberation. Going from his struggling acting life in Los Angeles to his hometown in New Jersey, where he witnesses his mother's funeral, Andrew is in the mist of confronting difficult issues. One of the biggest issues is coming to terms with his psychologist father (Ian Holm), whom he has distanced himself from for many years because he has put him on powerful antidepressants for most of his life. The reason for this I will not reveal but it has caused Andrew to feel as if his father has controlled his life in a way.

Sunset Boulevard (Wilder 1950) explores the intermingling of public and private realms, puncturing the illusion of the former and unveiling the grim and often disturbing reality of the latter. By delving into the personal delusions of its characters and showing the devastation caused by disrupting those fantasies, the film provides not only a commentary on the industry of which it is a product but also a shared anxiety about the corrupting influence of external perception. Narrated by a dead man, centering on a recluse tortured by her own former stardom, and concerning a once-promising director who refuses to believe his greatest star could ever be forgotten, the work dissects a multitude of illusory folds to reveal an ultimately
Los Angeles was the first product off the assembly line of American urban planning. Turned on in the late 19th century, the city-making machine was fueled by an immense immigration of people who sought to create a new type of city out of the previously quaint pueblo. They also strove to craft the first major city developed primarily by Americans and outside of European archetypes. As a result, Los Angles is not only incredibly diverse, but also nearly impossible to define. Since it is a product of the American machine, understanding the community of Los Angeles becomes vital to understanding the United States. But to fully comprehend the present Los Angeles, one must look at the process that created it. Specifically, Los Angeles was

Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however it does have its draw backs. Importantly it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers.
