Assignment One: Stories of Human Rights
First Response
According to the article “If You Were Me: Human Rights Discourses and Transnational Crossings in South Korean Omnibus Films”, an informed understanding of injustice, discrimination, and social marginality will address most of the problems encountered by different citizens.
The article by Diffrient goes further to explain why many omnibus films in the country water down the language of human rights. According to Diffrient, disrespect of other people’s feelings, narrow-mindedness, and chauvinism are inefficient towards satisfying the requirement of human support and intervention.
The above statement is agreeable because most of the efforts towards better humanitarian interventions are inadequate. According to me, Korea needs new efforts in order to deal with most of the above issues.
The decision by the HRC of Korea to commission the film “Fly, Penguin” shows how the country has failed to support the rights of different citizens. Korean films do not support the needs of many citizens in the country. This is the reason why I am agreeing with the above statement by Diffrient.
New efforts are relevant towards supporting every unfortunate member of society. However, the film does not achieve most of the above goals. The country encounters many challenges such as forced detention, torture, and continued disintegration of civil liberties. I will agree with the author’s statement because most of the efforts towards better humanitarian interventions are inadequate.
New efforts are relevant towards dealing with most of the above issues. The film does a commendable job because it addresses most of the issues affecting the people of Korea. The film presents the most appropriate strategies for dealing with such challenges. The film also makes it easier for the reader to identify the major issues affecting different individuals in society. New efforts and attempts are required to support the rights of different individuals.
Second Response
The article “If You Were Me: Human Rights Discourses and Transnational Crossings in South Korean Omnibus Films” explains why Korea should promote political activism in order to address the challenges encountered by marginalized citizens.
The series “If You Were Me” encourages the society to examine every malpractice encountered in the country. Such malpractices violate different human rights in the country. Some of these malpractices include discrimination and socio-cultural inequality. The important thing is for the government to improve the living conditions of its people.
According to the author, narrow-mindedness, chauvinism, and disrespect of other people’s feelings are inefficient towards satisfying the requirement of human support and intervention. The Human Rights Commission (HRC) of Korea decided to commission the film “Fly, Penguin” in order to support the stories of human rights. The fictional events presented in the film reflect the experiences and challenges encountered by ordinary Koreans.
The film does not show any effort by society or the government to support different human rights. Many Korean “Stories of Human Rights” have failed to support the needs of different individuals across the country.
The film “Fly, Penguin” seems to explain how narrow-mindedness and chauvinism can be essential and sufficient for supporting various human rights. That being the case, I agree with the statement by Diffrient because the film does not address the issues encountered by many Koreans.
The author of the article uses several stories to explain why many citizens are unable to achieve their objectives. The arguments presented by the author are valid and acceptable. The film does a commendable job because it addresses most of the issues affecting the people of Korea. The film presents the most appropriate strategies towards dealing with such challenges.
Assignment Two: “Fly, Penguin”
The film “Fly, Penguin” plays a significant role in supporting the challenges encountered by many people in the country. According to this film, many individuals fail because they lack most of their liberties and rights.
The malpractice has made it impossible for many young individuals to achieve their potentials. Gwon and Song are unable to address most of the challenges affecting them. Seung-Hyun fails to achieve his ambitions because his parents are displeased with him.
The title of the film explains why society should support the needs of marginalized persons. The title of the movie is also symbolic. Penguins are gigantic birds. These birds are common in the Southern Hemisphere. Penguins are unique because of their inability to fly.
The title “Fly, Penguin,” explains why the country should be ready to support the changing expectations of its citizens. The film uses penguins to symbolize disabled or disadvantaged individuals in society. The Korean government should be ready to address the issues affecting its people.
The title of the film is significant because it promotes the concept of mobility. The title also explains why the government and other agencies should continue supporting different human rights.
The approach is critical towards promoting gender equality, empowerment, and the provision of adequate education. The film also explains why different humanitarian strategies and approaches will be necessary for addressing the challenges affecting many Korean citizens.
The above film is significant because it encourages our agencies to support mobility and human rights. More motion-picture releases such as the “Fly, Penguin” will ensure the Korean society addresses most of the above issues and challenges.
The title of the film encourages society to confront various challenges such as gender discrimination, racial inequality, and ethnic skirmish. Similar films and motion pictures will make it easier for every society to empower its people.
