Question 1:
Choose a film that you have seen recently, and which you particularly enjoyed. Now find a
friend or colleague who has seen the same film, and who hated it.
Discuss your views of that particular film. What factors (age, sex, background, education,
interest, values and beliefs, political views, past experience) can you identify that explain the
differences in perception between you and your friend or colleague?
Answer 1:
A latest movie that I have enjoyed is Alejandro González Iñárritu’s The Revenant. My taste in
movies are more inclined towards raw portrayal of nature, animal and human behavior. I have
loved the contributions made by the two string characters played by Tom Hardy and Leonardo
DiCaprio. On the other hand, a friend of mine also watched the same movie and clearly seemed
to hate the overall movie. On close observation I realized that me and my friend differs in
interest areas which are driven from the culturally different background from which we belong.
Also, his nature is a bit emotional and soft kind, whereas I find myself to be practical and logical.
These different traits of personalities set us apart and made us like and dislike an Academy
Award winning film.
Question 2:
Security screening staff at airport watch thousands of people pass through Ray machines: to do
their job well, they must maintain high levels of concentration on each and every item and
person being scrutinized, without relaxing their standards or daydreaming for even one second.
How might these employees be motivated to provide the security that travel threats now
demands?
Answer 2:
Security screening staff are a well-trained, high I.Q possessing personalities who have amazing
abilities of observation, reaction manipulation and identification of possible gaps against the
appearance of a person crossing the ray machine. It is true that they must remain motivated and
focused for each passenger crossing the bar at all time on their active duty work hour. The
primary force that motivates them is that it is their passion to help and support the country in any
way possible. But from my perspective, motivation is not always enough to deliver high
