Defyin Genocyde

Second & Third Set

1. What role did the international community play during the genocide?
During the genocide, the international community seemed far away, and they had a feeling that the UN protected them, but when it started they abandoned them.

2. Does the international community have the responsibility of assisting countries threatened by genocide?
Yes, and they should try on making agreements between nations.

3. How can students get involved and make their voices heard against genocide?

What happened?Yes, I have, at my old shool a friend of mine started to look pael everyone got scared including our teacher and then he started to convulse so a group of ma friends and me took him to the school nurse and the nurse didn't know what to do so imidiatly she called 911 and an ambulance came right away.


5. When someone needs help, do bystanders have the responsibility to offer assistance? What do bystanders risk when they intervene and when they do not get involved?
They don't have to but they do it cause its the right thing to do, bystanders like doctors or nurses they do it not because its their job but because is right thing to do.The bigest risk they take is that if they don't help in the right time the person might get worst then how it is, and when they don't that person could have survive, cause his/her help might have done a big difference on the destiny of that person.

Slumdog Millionare

The chaos and the constant noise and motion of Mumbai at the center of the film, (supported by a fabulous soundtrack) are contrasted with a deeper silent seeking. Describe what each of the main characters is seeking.

- Jamal is a poor kid that has an ambicious brother. Jamal is a very good guy and he is intelligent too, so he tries to survive in his world, and when he is all grown up he gets into this television show, hoping that he will find Latika throughout that show, to show his feeling for her.

-Salim, he is an ambicious type of guy, and he always try being better then his brother. Salim got a good job, it kind of a mafia type of job, but to him it didn't matter because he was earning alot of money. He was just trying to inrich him self but in the wrong way.

-Latika was a very unfurtunate person, after the lost of her parents. Latika wanted to find her self and at the same time she wanted to find her friends, Latika got married to a very rinch guy that didn't care about her that much, and abuse of her, she tried to escape with Jamal and get her freedom back.

In the final scene, we see Salim and the choice he makes - filling the bathtub with money, etc. Why does he make this choice?

I guess that the reason on why Salim took that choice was because since he was a kid his family didn't have that much money.So at the moment that he realize that he was going to die he decided to die with the thing he earn the most his money.

This film weaves together nightmare and impossible dream. What do you take away as the mostimportant message or impression from the film?

I guess that the message that th movie give us is that it doesn't matter who you are you can always be a champion in your life, and that also money is not the happiness of the world but Love is the happiness of the world.

Slumdog Millionaire

• In the film, the theme of destiny is a central theme. What does it mean that all Jamal desires is just out of his reach? (The prized autograph, Latika, his brother, the answers, etc.)
That all that he wants is always too far from him. Most of the most important thing sin his life were not concecuences of his own choices. Even though, "destiny" makes that in one way or another he gets something that maybe it wasn't what he wanted (except for Latika), but that will help him get to his main desire.

• Compare and contrast three pivotal choices or decisions made by Jamal and Salim. How do their choices affect their respective paths in life or “destinies”?
First of all, when they accepted Latika with then when young, eventhough Salim didn't want her in. Then Salim and Jamal scaped from the bad guys, but left Latika back. Then Jamal convinces his brother to go rescue Latika, and by the way Salim kills the bad guy. Then they stayed with his money and began to live the three of them together, but then Salim kicked Jamal out and they lost comunication after, years later, Jamal decided to search them.He first found Salim, who told him he didn't know were Latika was., bus Jamal followed him and discover that Latika was with a bad old guy, which Salim works for. Then he rescue Latiak again and after that he won the game. Without does decisions they made the story wouldn't have been possible, and so the movie.

Slumdog Millionaire...

• Greed, corruption and the misuse of power are highlighted in the film through a variety of characters. How are those who have money and power glamorized in this film? What happens to the victims?

Well, there are a lot of problems involving money on this film, the first one happens to be the part were Salim and Jamal get into a fight, because Jamal sold the Amitabh Bachchan 's autograph and got money with it, despite the fact that they were both huge fans of the artist, then they come across Maman, who, because of his greed he used street kids to his own use, like begging for money, or to sell the young girls, later, when Salim involves himself with a gangster and get really well paid for his services (it doesn't matter what kind of "work") and lastly, the theme of the movie itself, the fact that the police thinks that Jamal is cheating on the "Who wants to be a Millionaire" show, just because he got a lot of money.

• In one pivotal scene, the show’s host tells Jamal his own story about coming from the slums. He then gives Jamal the wrong answer written on the mirror in the rest room. Why did he give Jamal the wrong answer? What did Jamal do?

He gave him the wrong answer because he (the show's host) wanted to be the only one who became rich from the "slums", Jamal didn't trust him so he just speculated the answer by his own, and didn't take the advice of the show's host.

• Describe how loss, chance, luck, suffering, and street smarts are also characters behind the scenes. The film explores gain and loss side by side. Triumphs are tempered with loss. Where do you see this evident?

The most evident part of the movie involving this, is the end, because Salim set Latika free but at the cost of his own life, knowing that the boss would kill him by doing that; so he saved a life by giving his own...

Slumdog Millionaire

• Is ethical decision making possible when one must make choices based on survival? Do seemingly “bad” choices make a person bad?

I don’t think that we can say it’s an ethic decision when you are trying to save yourself, because like in the movie, Salim hurt their captors in order to defend Jamal. You don’t believe Salim is a bad person for that, because he was trying to protect his brother.

• What do you think the film is saying about the globalization of culture through media? We see the game show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” adapted in the Indian culture. Is this a sign of progress? Why or why not? What is this film staying about the effect of money on culture?

Yes it is a sign of globalization, the program “who wants to be a millionaire?” it’s a very popular show in western countries, and its adapted to Indians so they can have a little fun too, and I think it’s a sign of progress in the media cause T.V is acquiring popularity in more countries and they can have programs like News and being informed is a sign of progress.
