In our last two classes, Mr.Hedley showed us a full movie called Outsourced; it was a very nice movie, and he asked us to write about what we had seen in it.

 

This is the link of the movie ::.                    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ALM2AsS4jU

 

The main characters in the movie are Todd (Josh Hamilton) and Aisha (Ayesha Dharker); the movie took place in UAS and mostly in India.

 

At the beginning of the movie the company manager in the USA , asked Tod to travel to India so he can develop and improve the call center there.  

 

When Todd's job and entire department are outsourced, he reluctantly travels to India to train his replacement. Arriving in India, he experiences culture shock: he is confused by everything from catching a train to hiring a taxi.

 

Outsourced is set in a call center in Mumbai, India, where an American novelties company has recently outsourced its order processing. A lone American manages the call center and must explain American popular culture to his employees as he tries to understand Indian culture.

 

Todd faced a lot of problems, but because of his experience and his partners help (Puro and Aisha) he succeeded in the all problems.

 

At the end Todd reaches to his company goal (to score less than 6 minutes in each call).

 

  

Brown eyes and blue

Brown eyes and blue eyes (Jane Elliot)

Discrimination

 

One class Mr.Hedley told us to write our thoughts and how we felt about the brown and blue eyes for Jane Elliot. Here is the video we must write about :.

This video took place in Ohio, in 1984. It's about a class divided in two parts , some of them own brown eyes and the others have blue eyes. Ms.Elliot divided this class to touch her students feelings so she can change it to something better.

On the first day Ms.Elliot preferred the students who own brown eyes, they can play with each other and do everything they want to. Mr.Elliot let the blue eyes feel that they are pariahs.

On the next day she turned it upside down, brown eyes this time felt that they are pariahs. After that Mr.Elliot re-united them then she says that feeling you felt is the same feeling the black guys feel so they decided to be one hand and not discriminate ever.

 

I see that Ms.Elliot is very smart in this point because she made me change my mind and be compassionate to the other guys that are different from me.

This class restored union as a positive step from Mr.Elliot , to find out the positive and negative aspects to this distinction .
