Compare the motion picture industry in India and United States

1)Compare the motion picture industry in India and United States? Bollywood made a revenue of $1.75 Billion in 2006(estimated to rise to $3.4 Billion in 2010) which is only half the revenue of what one Hollywood studio, Walt Disney made in 2006 – and that is saying a lot. However, while Hollywood’s market inside the US has almost saturated, India’s 500 million population under the age of 20 will ensure that the market inside India will grow exponentially in the coming years. Although Hollywood produces only a fraction of the number of films made all over the world, it garners a staggering 75% of total revenues. Also, 50% of its earnings(expected to grow to 80% in the next 20 years) come from the foreign market whereas for Bollywood it is 20%. Hollywood has an overwhelming domination among the top grossers worldwide – almost all of the top 50 movies are made in Hollywood. It has virtually eclipsed all other film industries except Bollywood – for instance, the European film industry cut down to 1/10th of its size since 1910
2) What are the names of the 3 main characters in Slumdog Millionare?  Jamal, Salim and Latika
3) What is a Chai wallah? wallah is one who performs a specific task. A rickshaw wallah drives the rickshaw, a dhobi wallah washes clothes and chai wallahs, you guessed it, they make chai. Chai wallahs are everywhere in India. Everywhere. From busy urban street corners to hidden alleyways, at bus depots and railway platforms and walking through the train car, along riversides and on footpaths that lead to pilgrimage sites in the middle of nowhere, when you need a fresh cup of tea, the chai wallah is always near.
4) Name 5 things we need to know about the Taj Mahal? It is the "crown of buildings" and it is one of the most recognizable structures in the world.  It was built by Mughal emperor Shan Jahan in memory of his third wife,Mumtaz Mahal. It is widely considered as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and stands as a symbol of eternal love.

4 Important things about the Bombay riot

The Bombay riot started as a result of communal tension prevailing in the city after Babri Mosque demolition on December 6th 1992. An estimated 575 Muslims and 275 Hindus died and 2,000 people were injured in the riots and 250 people mostly Hindus died in the blasts. The first was mainly a Muslim backlash as a result of the Babri Masjid demolition in the week immediately succeeding 6 December 1992 led by Hindu hard-line elements in the city of Ayodhya and The second phase was a Hindu backlash occurring as a result of the killings of Hindu Mathadi Kamgar (workers) by Muslims in Dongri (an area of South Bombay). This phase occurred in January 1993 with most incidents reported between 6 January to 20 January. Arson, killings and the destruction of property occurred in an array of areas.

There are problems with the people from Sudan because they work all the time with 2 or 3 jobs and miss their families and they remember the war. One man was admitted into a psychiatric hospital after being lost for 2 day but freaked out on a bus and was arrested. One got a letter from his mom that shes alive and his sister but his aunt, uncle and cousins died and they're house was burn't down. That changed his plans instead of going to college he had three jobs to send money to his family but he doesn't know if they are getting the money.

Friday in class we watch "The Lost Boys" and it was mainly about how they are ajusting to live in America and how the food on the plain tastes like soap. The Sudanians talked about becoming wealthy and going back to Sudan and helping thier families. It also showed how different the cultures between Sudan and the United States are.

"The civil war in Sudan has moved or killed more than 4 million southerners. Some fled into southern cities, such as Juba; others moved as far north as Khartoum and even into Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, and other neighboring countries. These people were unable to grow food or earn money to feed themselves, and malnutrition and starvation became widespread. The lack of investment in the south resulted as well in what international humanitarian organizations call a “lost generation” who lack educational opportunities, access to basic health care services, and little prospects for productive employment in the small and weak economies of the south or the north."

2) The Lost Boys couldn't stay in Ethiopia because the government collapsed.
3) Life in the refugee camp was hard, with little food they sang songs to entertain themselves.

Break Essay

Clark Grube
Hum Geo Project

            In the next ten years I’ll be trying to start to get a job and start a family. There are many places I could do that but one place that I would love to go to is Miami. I think Miami would be a great place to live because there is a large population so many people probably start a family there and also a great place for business. It is a major center for commerce, finance, and has a strong business community. Miami has a tropical monsoon climate so it is hot and humid during the summer and warm during the winter. The Miami-Dade County Public School district is the fourth largest in the world and is used to handling many children and could do a good job teaching mine. Miami is also home to many private schools that are among the best private schools in the country. One problem would be that about 66% of Miami listed their primary language as Spanish and I speak English so I would have to overcome the language problem. Another problem would be that Miami is ranked second-to-last in people over 18 with a high school diploma.
            Another place I wouldn’t mind living in would have to be Australia. Australia has a free-market economy with a high GDP per capita and a low rate of poverty. Australia has the world’s thirteenth biggest economy. Most of Australia is semi-arid or desert but includes a wide range of habitats from alpine heaths to tropical rainforests. The army in Australia is good and also receives help from the U.S. plus I don’t think Australia has any beef with any other countries like Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. They also speak a different language so that would be a problem but I would love having the great Outback in my backyard.

population pyramid, is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a human population, which normally forms the shape of a pyramid. It usually has bars lined up which shows the age group and number of people, one showing the number of males and one showing females in a particular population in five-year age groups .It may be measured by raw number or as a percentage of the total population.
