Graphical Novel and Film Analysis
The graphic novel on “V for Vendetta” describes the ancient ruling in United Kingdom and the changes that occurred after a nuclear war. The graphical novel major theme is violent argument that leads to hatred and revenge mission. The consequences of war are urbanization of United Kingdom, immigration and economic growth. The graphical novel has three sections that sequentially the European reign before nuclear war, events during a nuclear war, and European reign after a nuclear war. K. Sherlock’s study guide says that community services and awards results to the fast development in United Kingdom. Racism became high in production industries resulting to rivalry between blacks and whites. High production rate results to increase in economic growth and rise of living standards. An analysis of the V for Vendetta graphical novel and the film reveals the urban and moral decay in the society; modernization is leading to urban decay, violence, crime, and prostitution.
The dangers of urbanization increase with an increase in economic growth. K. Sherlock and fellow classmates say that history determines the future of the nation economic status. The war due to racism results to the formation of democratic solutions that enhance good public image of the United Kingdom. Production of the film “V for Vendetta” gives a visual explanation of the rivalry among the warring races. The film gives a snapshot of the future prediction of the United Kingdom. The likelihood of wars, revolution, crime and prostitution is increasing in the modernized world. I say that revolution and modernization are resulting to changes social life. The unchangeable fact on the urban riots and fights result to the creation of territories and zones. The moral decay in the society is as results of deterioration of actions, behaviours, and decisions. The characters in the graphical novel and film depict lack of ethical consideration and moral codes.
The theme urban and moral decay are evident in the film “V for Vendetta” in terms of oppression, homosexuality, prostitution and rape. The rate of imprisonment is high especially in camps. Some characters in the film get tortured in the city and escape incidences of rape. Secret sets of members of the society are trying to eliminate the bad morals in the society through posing as secret policemen. Criminal courts are active with cases on attempted rape, robbery with violence and other forms of inhumane acts in the society. The urbanization process is leading to urban migration leading to high population in the cities. High population in the cities results to congestion reduced job opportunities and increased crime rate. The destruction process also increases in the cities leading to setting up emergency measures to prevent extra demolitions.
According to Manohla Dargis critics and previews, secret policemen are essential in the society in order to eliminate the bad traits and reduce moral decay in the urban centres. The crime rate and moral decay in the urban centres give the government policemen tough time resulting them to boycotting duties. The reporters and media stations are active collecting news on new incidences of crime or identifying immoral acts in the society like killings, homosexuality or rape. Urbanization results to the creation of illegal jobs like black market and human experimentation. Manohla Dargis says that crime require collaboration with members of the society and some policemen rebels. The choice of my urban and moral decay theme is to expose the bad traits in the society due to urbanization and increase in number of people visiting the cities. Exposing the immoral acts is essential for the government in providing corrective measures and new mechanisms of handling similar cases in the cities.
The rhetorical arguments in the movie and novel involve identification of V. The secret policeman aims to restore good morals in the urbanized cities. The political powers affect the morality of the urban cities. It remains unclear ways of reducing political influence in inhumane acts. It is rhetorical to be within the government and fighting against the government. Evey observes the acts of V and decides to seek refuge since he seems to be untrustworthy person. Experimentation on humans remains rhetorical argument among the government officials. Government officials are unable to find the identity of V. The arguments on Rebecca Jones article on rhetorical incidences get basis from the biological processes. Rebecca Jones arguments relates to the tracing of V using the bio-weapon program.
Rebecca Jones says that an advance in science research is resulting to the formation of programs that understand human’s mind. The creation of human programs results to alteration of memory and experiences within the human brain. Overall product after scientific manipulation is a superhuman that get control from a supercomputer database. Alan Moore, David Lloyd, and James McTeigue’s arguments on the contemporary society are on the struggle for freedom that results to urbanization and deterioration of morality in the society. In conclusion, the film and graphical novel on “V for vendetta” shows the modernization process and the consequences of modernization.
Graph of Kuwaits Telecommunication GDP from 1995 to 2011
Graph of Kuwait’s Telecommunication GDP from 1995 to 2011
Graph of United Arab Emirates’ Telecommunication GDP from 1995 to 2011
Comparison of Kuwait’s and UAE’s Telecommunication GDPs
The Kuwait’s GDP was over 0.89 billion in 1994 and the values rose to 3.48 billion by January 2004. According to the graph, Kuwait has experienced progressive growth over the years. One reason is due to adjustments in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) and increase or more than 160 billion of international dollars. Drawing a line of best fit, during these years, the GDP growth rate has been constant at nearly 0.29 billion yearly except 1999 and 2004 where the figures slightly dropped. The Kuwait’s nearly half of its GDP is composed of oil sector which constitutes 55% and other important contributors like private section which constitutes 34.8% of its GDP. The public sector contributes 34.7%, transport and communication constitutes 16.2%, financial sector contributes 24.5% and manufacturing only 9.8%. to reduce oil dependency, Kuwait strengthened other sectors apart from oil sector. As a result, Kuwait’s GDP grew by 14% between 2004 and 2008 and grew by 55.7% between 2009 and 2014. Based on the graph and Kuwait Economic Outlook 2011, the government’s push and strategies employed in reducing oil dependency is currently ongoing and the growth tends to be stable for several years to come (2013 index of economic freedom).
Additionally, as reported by index of economic freedom, Kuwait has had an economic freedom of 63.1 making it ranked number 66 free economy in 2013. The economic freedom has also increased by 0.6 compared to last year’s indicating an improvement in how government control investments and trade freedom. Kuwait is free country to invest in and so attracts many investors thus increasing the GDP. The free trade has also encouraged tourism in the country.
The other reason for the progressive GDP growth can be attributed by the fact that Kuwait government has reduced taxes and making the country suitable for investors. For example the Kuwait government does not tax a person’s salary. The government has a flat rate of 15% tax to corporate. This is low compared to other countries that charge as high as 17%.
The growth in GDP of Telecommunications sector in United Arab Emirates from 1995 to 2011 has been fluctuating. The graph shows a steady growth of the first three years (from 1994 to 1997) then suddenly shoots in the preceding years. One factor that might have contributed to the fluctuation is the inconsistencies in GDP value in some quarters. Due to the changes in climate, the production rate has various over the years. The other reason is the inconsistent tourism in United Arabs Emirate.
When a line of best fit is drawn, it will be nearly a horizontal line meaning the GDP fluctuates about a given point. This is an indication of stagnating economy and this might be contributed by various government and non-governmental factors. Unlike Kuwait which has a higher economic freedom, United Arab Emirates has restricted trade and so works with companies that originally operated in the country. There are no new investors and the fluctuation sis caused by internal factors. Additionally, the high taxes in United Arab Emirates also act as discouraging factor to investors. Salaries are taxed as well as corporate unlike Kuwait which taxes corporate alone.

Introduction
Obesity has always been known to be a lifestyle disease attributed to consumption of excessively fatty foods. Families in developed countries are facing a huge task of regulating the calorie intake given to young children for they do account for a higher percentage of obese people. A number of restaurants, eateries and food joints in the United States sell food that have high fat and protein content.
Discussion
From the graphs shown in the appendices below, Five Guys is the favorite fast food joints of the University of California students and the most famous restaurant. This restaurant could be in proximity to the college which makes it accessible to the students. They do not have to spend extra money on transport which would go to buying extra meals. The restaurant could also be having excellent customer service like entertainment, relaxation lounges, free desserts and hospitable staff. The restaurant could also be popular compared to Subway and Burger King from the availability of parking spaces and other services like adequate 24 hour security in its environs. The famous hotels have a rich menu especially suited for college students offering sweet, fresh take-away and quick bites. The proximity of nightclubs could be a complement for students since they can eat and drink within the same locality. Besides, the restaurant’s mode of publicity could be effective over face book and Google where the students prefer browsing. The restaurant could be offering facilities such as free internet and music, facilities that college students have higher preference.
In figure two, there was a sharp increase in obese rates for both limited and full service restaurants though the rate of obesity for full service restaurants was lower than that of limited service restaurant. The rise in obesity rates is not influenced by the rise in the real prices of food since obese rates have been increasing despite a steady increase in food prices. In the case of food taken at home, the obese rates have not been rising but reducing with a small increase in the year 2004. It further reduced significantly in the year 2006 and rose sharply up to the year 2009. Limited service restaurants and snacks contribute to higher obesity rates as compared to instances when food is taken at home.
Conclusion
The impact of fast food on the society is immense. From the discussion above, fast food is a favorite among students. Fast foods have high fat content and tend to result in excessive weight gain among people. Obesity is high among people who take food in fast food restaurants than those eating at home. With lack of exercise and little strain, the body accumulates unused energy as fat. There will be increased cases of heart failure and deaths. Hospitals will be under pressure to absorb these cases. Economic growth will slow down due inefficient workforce. This also puts strain on physical training facilities as they try to reduce on weight. There will be higher demand for food than the rate of production of food items.
