Purpose
For better or worse, films can be a powerful way for a society to convey stories and ideas about people, places, and culture. The film review assignment provides students the opportunity to investigate the ways in which multicultural behaviors, practices, and ideas are conveyed through film (and through music if that plays an instrumental role in the film you choose). It also offers a visually appealing way to connect with the course material on different levels, and deepen an understanding of events, beliefs, and behaviors that will ultimately play a constructive role in professional practice.
Course Objectives
· CO3: Examine the adaptive capabilities and the strengths of oppressed groups.
