Comparing and Contrasting Casino Royale and The Spy Who...

My essay is going to be about the similarities and differences between ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’. I Will explore all aspects of each film including, Bond, the Bond girls, the villain and enemy, special effects and the mise-en-scene. The opening scenes are both similar yet different in both films. ‘Casino Royale’ starts off with free running, a modern sport that makes the audience want to keep watching. It is dangerous, new age and suits the film itself. It is also a sport which isn’t something you can just try out at home, it needs a lot of skill and endurance. ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ however, starts off with bond being chased by the enemy on the skiing slopes. Skiing is a very popular sport nowadays and many people†¦show more content†¦In ‘TSWLM’, Bond appealed more to the male audience as he was brave, clever and mischievous. Whereas in ‘CR’ bond appealed to both the male and female audience. This is because Daniel Craig who acts Bond in ‘CR’ is more sexy and sensitive in the film compared to the actor playing bond in ‘TSWLM’. But as well as appealing to the women he also still appeals to the male audience too because although he has a sensitive side he still has an adventurous and dangerous side to him too. And so the character of bond is portrayed different in both films. Although his character may change his role as Bond himself is still likewise. The role of bond is basically a man who fights villains and saves the day. He is a secret agent working for MI6. If you were to look for a character to play Bond the kind of things you would look out for in the actor would be as follows: tall, unique looking, fit and healthy, young and an actor who has a low profile so he would then be a type cast of Bond. The Bond girls are very stereotypical and are similar in both films in many ways. The typical role of a Bond girl is to be sexy and attractive and to be like a sidekick to Bond. The Bond girls aren’t supposed to be just a pretty face though. Beneath the beauty, they are also expected to be intelligent women that help Bond in his missions. Although both Bond girls have many similarities, they also have many differences which have played a big part in the change of the target audience. Vesper, the

Essay about Huck Finn - 1567 Words

Huck Finn Throughout the ages The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been a treasured novel to people of all ages. For young adults the pure adventuresome properties of the book captivates and inspires wild journeys into the unknown. The book appeals to them only as a quest filled with danger and narrow escapes. It is widely considered â€Å"that children of 12 or so are a little too young to absorb the book’s complexities† (Galileo: Morrow). However, as readers mature and become older, they read the book through enlightened eyes.

This paper delves into how Huck Finn rejects the accepted†¦show more content†¦(258) This assertion tells the reader that most, in that time period, did have the same views, reactions, and ethics as offered in the book. Huck is in direct opposition and retaliation with almost all of these tenets. He first demonstrates this by wishing to leave the Widow Douglas because she wants to â€Å"sivilize† him. The interesting observation is, the irony of the Widow’s attempt to teach Huck religious principles while she persists in holding slaves. As with her snuff taking—which was all right because she did it herself—there seems no relationship between a fundamental sense of humanity and justice and her religion. Huck’s practical morality makes him more â€Å"Christian† than the Widow, though he takes no interest in her lifeless principles. (Grant 1013) Huck seems to have the inclination that something is wrong with her beliefs in God and how people should follow Him, unfortunately he â€Å"couldn’t see no advantage in going where she was going, so [he] made up [his] mind [he] wouldn’t try for it† (Twain 13). Huck could not endure these rigors of formal southern training and finally he â€Å"couldn’t stand it no longer. [He] lit out† (Twain 13).

Question: In mentioned cases provide a neat diagram to explain your answer. Make sure to label axes properly. Else points will be deducted. The maximum possible points is 40. A local firm in Abu Dhabi is operating under a perfectly competitive environment. If price in market is 4 AED and their total cost is 500 AED (including the fixed cost of 200 AED) for output of 30 units, then should they continue to produce or shut down in short run? Provide your answer with a relevant diagram and explain your answer in few words. (10 points) Recent research has documented the fact that Coke is something different compared to other soft drinks. In fact related literature states that Coke has already attained the monopoly status. If we assume the research is correct and coke is a monopolist, then a) Do you think that coke actively engages itself in price discrimination? B) If so, what type of price discrimination they are engaged in? Discuss your answer with a relevant diagram. (10 points) Etisalat and Du are duopolists. If they form a cartel between themselves, then what will happen to price and output in the market. Discuss your answer with a relevant diagram. (5 points) 4). In a recent conversation a policy maker argued that since DEWA is monopolist, they are charging higher price and lower output is produced. He further mentioned that government should split the entire unit into small pieces so that competition can drive down prices. Do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer in few words. Provide a relevant diagram. (5 points) 5) Consider the following pay-off matrix (Numbers in the matrix reflect their respective profit levels) for two gas stations. Gas station A Gas Station B High price Low price High price 200,000 AED; 200, 000 AED 50,000 AED; 400,000 AED; Low price 400,000 AED; 50,000 AED 80,000 AED; 80,000 AED; If each firm follows their dominant strategy, then what will be their respective profit levels? And if they collude then what is their new profit level? (5 points) 6) A cosmetic firm operating in a monopolistically competitive market environment spends a lot of money in advertisement and ends up with super-normal profit even in long run. Is it possible? Explain your answer in few words. (5 points) Answer: 1. The market price at Abu Dhabi is 4 AED. The total cost of the firm is 500 AED. The fixed cost incurred by the firm is 200 AED. Therefore, the variable cost of the firm will be (500-200) =300 AED. The output is 30 units. Therefore, the Average Variable Cost is Total Variable Cost Total output; i.e. 300 30 = 10 AED. According to the theory of perfect competitive market, a firm will shut down its production if the market price is less than Average Variable Cost (P AVC) (Shepherd 2015). Here, the market price 4 AED is far below than the average variable cost (10 AED). Figure 1:Shutdown Point of Production Source: Created by Author A firm in the competitive market continues its production even if the price is below Average Cost. This is because; still the price is exceeding average variable cost and firm will operate in the short run to cover its variable cost. At this situation, if the firm shuts down its production, there will be no variable cost but firm has to pay fixed costs. Fixed cost has to be paid by the firm, regardless of the decision of the firm. Hence, instead of AC, the decision will be based on looking into AVC. As long as the price is greater than AVC, the firm will cover all variable cost along with some part of fixed cost. Therefore, below the point where price is equal to AVC, firm is unable to cover its cost of production. At this point, the firm will shut down its production (Rubinfeld and Pindyck 2013). 2. Coke enjoys monopoly power in the market, so it can actively engage in price discrimination. This will enable the company to maximize its profit. Price discrimination can be of three types namely, first degree; second degree and third degree price discrimination. In the first degree price discrimination, the monopolist charges maximum price that each consumer is willing to pay. This type of price discrimination involves maximum exploitation. In the second degree price discrimination, the monopolist charges different price different quantities. Here lower price is charged for bulk purchase than a single unit. In the third degree price discrimination, monopolist divides the entire market into small groups and charges different prices for different groups of consumers (Aguirre and Cowan 2015). The coke is the most preferred soft drinks producing company. The demand for coke increases during summer season and falls substantially during winter. The elasticity of demand is high during winter and demand is inelastic during summer.Therefore, the firm can engage itself in the third degree price discrimination. The company can divide its market on seasonal basis and charge different price in different market. It will maximize its profit in summer by charging high price and in winter it will charge low price, as people might become price sensitive during winter. Moreover, Coke is an international company with numerous branches; manufacturing sector and retailers all over the world. The demand for soft drink is higher in the tropical region, where it is mostly summer, for example, in Kenya (Euromonitor.com 2016). The demand for Coke is significantly lower in the temperate or polar zone, where it is mostly cold. The company divides its market according to the climatic zone and charg e different price. In the polar zone, it cannot raise its price too much as demand is very elastic in nature. In contrast, the Coke company can maximize its profit by charging high price in tropical climate, s demand is highly inelastic. Figure 2: Third Degree Price Discrimination Source: Created by Author In the above diagram, it has been presented how different prices can be charged for different market. Coke will charge P1 where demand is inelastic in nature and P2 where demand is elastic in nature to maximize its profit. Hence, Coke will engage itself in the third degree price discrimination by dividing its market. 3. Etisalat and Du form a cartel between themselves, it implies the two firms decides to collude rather than competing with each other. There can be made an explicit collusive agreement, where they together decide their price and market sharing. The cartel can be implicit in nature, where collusion is secretive. By trusting each other these two firms create monopoly (Fonseca and Normann 2014). In this case, the firms decide to divide the monopoly output equally between themselves and sell it at the monopoly price. Here, both the firms will earn same amount of profit. Figure 3: Cartel in Duopoly Source: Created by Author However, the output of cartel is not on their best response curve. Therefore, it is possible that a firm cheats and produces best response output. Here, the total output will be best response output of firm 1 plus the cartel output of firm 2, which is more than total monopoly output (shared between these two firms). The market price will be lowered as well. The firm who cheated will earn higher profit and the firm who did not cheat will lose. If both firm cheats, the total output will be best response output of firm 1 and best response output of firm 2 that is greater than before. However, in such case, the price will be so low that the both firm will earn lesser profits than profits earned by forming cartel. Individual firm will be benefitted by cheating if another firm is not cheating. So cheating is better option for each firm. However, it is better not to cheat because, as cheating by both firms will lead to lesser profits earned by both firms. Therefore, price and output of cartel depends on trust (Bernheim and Madsen 2013). Figure 4: Best Responsive Function Source: Created by Author 4. DEWAis charging high price and producing lower output. By splitting the entire unit will improve its production efficiency; improved product and will lower down the unit costs. However, as DEWA is the Electricity and water supplier, this is a case of natural monopoly.Splitting may not increase competition in the traditional way. However, there will be a type of cost competition as each unit would be encouraged to be more efficient than others (Moszoro 2014). While DEWA charged high price for low output the profit of the firm is very high. After splitting into several units, it produces or supplies high level of output but faces loss due to low price. In general, splitting of production increases competition traditionally, as different units are less likely to share their information with other units. However, as DEWA is providing essential goods like electricity and water, the information cannot be kept secret. Hence, units might not achieve competitive advantage over other goods. Therefore, it can be concluded that, government decision of splitting DEWA into small units in order to increase competition, cannot be fully agreed. The following diagram represents the case of natural monopoly. It has illustrated the fact that, high price and low output indicates inefficiency in the market but the firm is earning high profit. However, low price and high output is efficient for society but there is no incentive for the firm as it will suffer from losses. Therefore, it can further be concluded that there is no improvement in the competition by splitting the firm as there is no incentive for the firm to produce at lower price, when it is operating in natural monopoly. Figure 5: Consequences ofNatural Monopoly Source: Created by Author 5. Gas station A Gas Station B High price Low price High price 200,000 AED; 200, 000 AED 50,000 AED; 400,000 AED; Low price 400,000 AED; 50,000 AED 80,000 AED; 80,000 AED; A strategy is said to be dominant for a player if he gets better payoff by selecting that strategy, regardless of what another player has chosen (Myerson 2013).From iterated elimination, the dominant strategy can be obtained. Gas station A Gas Station B High price Low price High price 200,000 AED; 200, 000 AED 50,000 AED; 400,000 AED; Low price 400,000 AED; 50,000 AED 80,000 AED; 80,000 AED; From the above pay-off matrix, the pay-off for Gas Station B is higher when it adopts low price regardless the choice of Gas Station A. If A choses High Price strategy, then B will be better off by choosing low price strategy, as 500,000 AED is greater than 200.000 AED. Similarly, if A selects Low price strategy, then also B will be better off by selecting low price strategy again, as 800,000 AED is higher than 400,000 AED. Therefore, low price strategy is the best possible choice for Gas Station B. Now, as B will always select low price strategy, Gas Station A will be better off by selecting low price strategy as the profit level will be higher in this case (800,000 AED 400,000 AED). The respective profit level will be 800,000 AED for both the firms When the firms collude with each other, it implies that it aims to maximize their joint profit. When the strategy is (Low Price, Low Price) then the joint profit of both firms will be maximized and the profit level will be 800,000 AED for both of them. So, there will be no change in their profit level. 6: In the short run, the monopolistically competitive firm, the firm maximizes the profit where MR=MC. The average cost is lower than this level, and thus the firm earns super-normal profit. This is represented in panel (a) of the following diagram. However, in the long run, the supernormal profit attracts new firm and the demand (AR) curve becomes more elastic (Roberts 2014). Therefore, at the point where MR=MC, the firm faces neither profit nor loss. This is represented in the panel (b). However, the cosmetic firm spends more money on advertisement.This has helped the firm to differentiate its product from other companies and establish significant brand loyalty. As a result of this, the AR or the demand curve does not become inelastic for the product of this company. Hence, in real world example, through advertisement, it is possible to earn super-normal profit even in the long run.

The Effects of Intellectual Revolution in US

The Effects of Intellectual Revolution in US Introduction Ever since the agrarian, industrial and scientific revolution, the world has been experiencing a lot of changes that have affected the lifestyles, cultures and beliefs of every society in the world. It is due to these changes that people started to fight for human rights, democracy, equality and so on.Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on The Effects of Intellectual Revolution in US specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More Ever since its early days of establishment, USA has been known to be a nation that contains intellectual and rational individuals. These individuals conatin the knowledge and skills required to make a great nation. As a result, the nation has been renowned for its excellence. The main basis of this excellence has been the sustainable education system of the country coupled with favourable social structures that aimed at developing the cognitive capacity of individuals to a great level. However, wit h the rapid advancement in technology that has been experienced in the last few decades, the level of rationalism and intellectuality of the people of the United States has become questionable. Is the country losing its intellectual and rational ways? This is the question that many people keep on asking themselves. Some believe that the citizens of the country have become ignorant while others believe that the country is in the middle of a literacy revolution. These claims have come about due to the changes that are being experienced in the print and visual media. Initially, people used to utilize a lot of print materials. Students used to read poems, books, novels, journals and so on within and outside the class. This trend has however changed and now individuals are doing more of watching than reading. At the same time, the internet, especially the social media has changed the manner in which individuals interact, think and write. Due to this fact, a study should be conducted to d etermine the effects of this advancement of the intellectual capacity of the nation. This essay therefore explores the effects of these developments on the intellectual and rationality capacity of individuals of the United States. Ignorance or New Literacy Severalarguments have been raised pertaining to whether Americans are becoming ignorant to literacy or they are undergoing a great revolution. Several scholars have come up with their theories and opinions pertaining the issue. In her book, The Age of American Unreason, Susan Jocoby states that Americans have changed the manner in which they think and perceive things (Jacoby 1). According to her, much of the problems that the nation is facing have been due to the ignorance that has risen from the public. This ignorance has come about due to the changes in that the society is experiencing. There has been a rapid decline in the use of print media by the public for the last three or so decades (Jacoby 5).Advertising Looking f or essay on education? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More People are not reading as much as they used to back in the day. Instead, the spend much of their time watching television, playing video games and surfing the internet. The number of 17 year olds who read nothing other than their course material has doubled between 1984 and 2004 (Jacoby 6). Due to this fact therefore, these individuals do not have the relevant knowledge and skills that are required to build and sustain a great nation. Susan therefore blames technology for the problems that the nation is currently facing. On the other hand, Thompson and McKean believe that the nation is undergoing an intellectual revolution. According to them, the intensity of this change is so great that it will result to the creation of more rational and intellectual individuals that the nation had never had before. All this can be attributed to the introduction of new technology. Throu gh the use of the internet and social media, individuals have had the chance to read and write about a lot of issues (Thompson 3). This has in turn developed them into great writers. At the same time, social media and networks such as tweeter and facebook has given them a chance to easily associate and socialize with one another. This has made it easier for them to share information and ideas. These changes have thus made them understand life in a better perspective by being able to define the problem and come up with solutions (McKean 5). Personally, I tend to believe that technology has increased the thinking capacity of individuals. It has enable people to view issues from a different perspective. At the same time, the flow of information and ideas is much easier. People are now exposed to a lot of things than before. This has made them to be more intellectual and rational individuals. The state should therefore put much emphasis on the use of technology. A lot of studies and res earch should therefore be conducted to ensure that technology is used in a way that will bring about positive change to the people of the United States. Conclusion An intellectual revolution is going on in the United States. This change aims at producing rational individuals who are more learned and ready to face the challenges of life. This change has resulted to a decline in the utilization of print media and an increase in the use of visual media. The nation is therefore not suffering from any intellectual problem. Jacoby, Susan.

Agency and insurance Law Case Study Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 1250 words

Agency and insurance Law - Case Study Example Drew and Bev are employed by Kirk as his sales assistant in his business of selling building and decorating supplies and related products hence they are his agent. An agent is a person employed expressly to do any act for another or to represent another in dealing with a third party.The work of an agent is to linking the principal with a third party bringing about a contractual relation between his principal and a third party. (Saleemi, 1992)Eileen runs a large office went to Kirk firm to make a big order of 1000 potted plants. He was served by Drew, one of the sales assistant in Kirk firm. Drew informed her that the price for the potted plant was 20 per plant. Just to be sure about it, Eileen requested to confirm about the price from Kirk, his boss. Kirk told Eileen that he had authority to make such an agreement on his own but he would confirm about this particular order with his boss.Drew went to the back of the office out of Eileen's sight and returned saying he had confirmed the deal with his boss. Drew did not confirm about this order with Kirk since he was on phone but Eileen believed him.Kirk is liable for the contract entered by Drew and he should not escape the contract. Drew as Kirk's sales assistant is presumed that there is creation of agency between them by express agreement. Hence Drew possesses a contractual capacity to make a contract with a third party on behalf of his principal which is binding. Eileen believed that even though Drew had no capacity to make sales agreement for big order, he confirmed about the sale when he visited their premises and Drew confirmed this from Kirk at the back of the shop out of her sight. This case would also be ostensible authority where an employee who has been placed in a position of responsibility mat be assumed to have such authority as normally matches with the position, irrespective of what is his actual authority. For this case, entered into contract with Drew believing that he had proper authority of his employer. So, the employer is liable for the contract. A similar case studied is that of: Watteu v Fenwic, 1893 In this case, a manager of a public house was expressly instructed by his employer to order all hotel requirements through him. In breach of these instructions, the manager ordered some cigars and other goods from the plaintiff. It was held that the owner of the public house was bound by the manager's act because it matches his position. (Emanuel, 2004) Advice to Kirk Kirk might not be liable for the contract if Drew as an agent acted on the contract by exceeding his authority. If for example there is an agreement during creation of agency that the agents have only authority to make sales agreements not exceeding a certain quantity, then Kirk might not be liable. Advice to Drew Drew might be liable for the contract if he exceeded his authority while making that contract. A breach of implied warranty of authority arises when a person exceeds his authority. In this case the principal is not under no liability on the contract and the agent becomes personally liable for the breach of implied warranty of authority to the third party. It is immaterial for this purpose that Drew (agent) believed himself to have such authority. Case II Wendy was a manufacturer of table saw and she approached Bev to make an offer to sell table saws for 400 per table saw provided he picked them up from her factory. Bev agreed to Wendy's offer even though he had authority to sell but not to purchase. Ten days after the

Examining a chosen area of media law that relates to the processes or Essay

Examining a chosen area of media law that relates to the processes or business practices involved in magazine publishing - Essay Example This paper aims at discussing the levels to which the law gives such individuals right to privacy. This will be in relation to the right and freedom given to the magazine publishers by the constitution. The intellectual property right is the right given to an individual to control any of his or her intellectual creations. Mostly violation of this right by magazine publishers through publication of these creations without the owner’s permission this may involve the inclusion of photographs a written work by individuals the on the public eye. If a magazine publisher chooses to use any person material without their consent, this would be termed as a violation of intellectual property rights (Phillips & Firth 1999:84). Some of the victims of such violation are photographers, visual artists, and literal creations. If magazine publishers would use images of works by famous photographers without their assent, they would be guilty of violation of this right. However, the magazine can always use these creations by getting in touch with the persons involves and getting either written or verbal assent for the use of these creations. Another form of intellectual property right mostly abused by magazine publishers is the trade secrets. The trade secrets include confidential information that a business or a person uses to get an advantage over their competitors. This information might negatively involve the parties involved if the information gets to the public. A perfect replica of such an incident is one where maybe an artist had a formula or a manner in which he came up with his work. If a magazine publisher publishes this information without the consent of the artist, then the artists’ privacy would have been invaded. The magazine publisher, however, has the right to print this information if the secret of trade violated human rights in any way. The law protects individuals from exploitation just to some limit. Contract law is a section of law that is funda mental for the making of oral and written agreements. These kinds of agreements usually have an association with exchange of goods and services, money, and properties. It entails topics such as the nature of responsibilities, limitation of actions, freedom of contract, privacy of contract, termination of contract and covers also agency relationships, commercial paper, and contracts of employment. In this case, the contract would involve the publisher and the public figure. Such agreement always involves information on the nature of co-existence between the two parties.
