The film is a depiction of meaning made in visual form. The study aims to see the representation of eastern immigrants in The Visitor. Motivated by the 9/11 event which took place in New York, the United States that made a negative stigma of eastern immigrants, the film tells the friendship between Western and Eastern people. Researchers use Dramatistic Pentad analysis to see how Eastern immigrant representations are displayed using act, scene, agent, agency, and purpose analyses. Researchers also used the theory of Orientalism by Edward Said to see Eastern and Western depictions. Researchers examined the six scenes in The Visitor film, using qualitative data analysis. The results showed that the film gave a positive image of eastern immigrants to change the negative perception of Western peoples towards Muslims.

Chapter Three compares the development of tipo italiano products—substitution Italian-style foods manufactured abroad—to explore changing meanings of nationality, ethnicity, and authenticity in migrant marketplaces. Italian migrant entrepreneurs in New York took advantage of the United States’ more industrialized society to manufacture cheaper tipo italiano foods for savings-oriented migrants in transnational family economies. In Argentina’s less industrially mature and import-dependent economy, Italian merchants fretted more about tipo italiano foods made in other European countries, especially “Latin” countries like Spain and France. Migrant makers and sellers of tipo italiano foods successfully navigated their liminal positions at the interstices of national and transnational economies, and migrant and non-migrant consumers, while maximizing their own economic and social standing in diasporic communities.

INTERNATIONALES LEIPZIGER FESTIVAL FUER DOKUMENTAR- UND ANIMATIONSFILM 2003 The timing could not have been better. Shortly after the 45th Leipzig International Festival for Documentary and Animation Films (15-20 October 2002) opened with the hit documentary of the year, Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine (USA), the German edition of Moore's bestselling "Stupid White Men" hit the book stands. The biting, acerbic, stinging Bowling for Columbine had been invited to compete at Cannes and was awarded there an especially created "Unique Prize of the 55th Anniversary Festival." And "Stupid White Men," a riotous political satire penned in the journalistic vein of H.L. Mencken and Mike Royko, rode the best-seller list in the New York Times for nearly a year. How did this hard-nose statement on gun-related deaths in the United States and the ongoing battle with the gun lobby in Congress get made in the first place? Armed with a disarming...

Em seu livro Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy, Cathy O'Neil analisa os perigos da automatização de processos a nível socioeconômico por algoritmos e sistemas de análise de big data. A partir de exemplos dos Estados Unidos, O’Neil analisa como essas ferramentas podem reproduzir os preconceitos de seus formuladores, perpetuando dinâmicas de desigualdade.ABSTRACTIn her book Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy, Cathy O'Neil analyses the dangers from the automatization of socioeconomic processes via algorithms and big data analysis systems. Using examples from the United States, O'Neil analyses those tools may reproduce the prejudices from the modelers and perpetuate dynamics of inequality.Palavras-chave: Big Data; Globalização; DemocraciaKeywords: Big Data; Globalization; DemocracyDOI: 10.12957/rmi.2016.25939 Recebido em 09 de Outubro de 2016 | Aceito em 24 de Outubro de 2016Received on October 09, 2016 | Accepted October 24, 2016

The United States is releasing more individuals from prisons than ever before. However, returning citizens face numerous challenges transitioning back into community life and many communities remain ill-equipped in successfully supporting them. This study focuses on transportation as in integral component to the success of returning citizens. Rapid and rigorous qualitative data analysis (RADaR technique) is applied to interviews ( n = 15) with individuals having returned to their community about the impact of transportation on their reentry. Analysis resulted in three primary themes; interviewees reinforced existing knowledge of the issues with transportation disadvantage, transportation is an extension of freedom, and transportation is directly connected to reentry success. These findings suggest a tiered structure of transportation freedom for returning citizens. This model of transportation will aid future researchers and policymakers in considering how to better resource returning citizens to maximize their success.

The current study provides an overview of the United States and China escalating trade hostility that commenced in January 2018.An attempt has been made to find the root cause of the trade war between two giant economic powers for trade dispute. Mixed method approach was adopted i-e qualitative data was gathered by conducting panel discussion with different professors and quantitative data was gathered from articles, newspapers, WTO, World Bank, WITS and MIT.edu databases. The accumulated qualitative data was analysed through content analysis; excel was used for the quantitative data analysis. Results indicate that evolving tariffs war is a hidden tactic to contaminate “Made in China 2025” industrial revolution Policy, because it’s a major hurdle against Trump’s wish of making America again super manufacturing power. In fact, China has become a super manufacturing power by upgrading in its technological sector. Moreover, tit for tat tariffs war has reverberated the entire global economy badly. Chinese rapid growth and innovative plan, higher trade deficit between China and the United States, technological development, leading manufacturing capability, foreign investment amiable environment and proper industrial plan “Made in China, 2025” are the main trigger points for the United States. Owing to these reasons, the United States has to impede the Made in China 2025 plan, and it, in fact, wishes to skip Made in China 2030.

Purpose This study used a mixed-methods design to assess changes in students' cultural awareness during and following a short-term study abroad. Method Thirty-six undergraduate and graduate students participated in a 2-week study abroad to England during the summers of 2016 and 2017. Quantitative data were collected using standardized self-report measures administered prior to departure and after returning to the United States and were analyzed using paired-samples t tests. Qualitative data were collected in the form of daily journal reflections during the trip and interviews after returning to the United States and analyzed using phenomenological methods. Results No statistically significant changes were evident on any standardized self-report measures once corrections for multiple t tests were applied. In addition, a ceiling effect was found on one measure. On the qualitative measures, themes from student transcripts included increased global awareness and a sense of personal growth. Conclusions Measuring cultural awareness poses many challenges. One is that social desirability bias may influence responses. A second is that current measures of cultural competence may exhibit ceiling or floor effects. Analysis of qualitative data may be more useful in examining effects of participation in a short-term study abroad, which appears to result in decreased ethnocentrism and increased global awareness in communication sciences and disorders students. Future work may wish to consider the long-term effects of participation in a study abroad for emerging professionals in the field.
