From the Paper
"This paper examines the role of realism in film, addressing the example of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane that some see as the best film made in Hollywood, a creation of 1941 that was withdrawn during World War II but soon drew wide notice in Europe in the first years after the War ended. One sees that film both allows realism in ways that other media do not, and also employs realism to communicate with audiences that can feel alienated by their society, a film becoming a kind of lifeline in its message that will strike many a viewer as true. In this regard, the viewer..."

These five elements in the film are the focus of the essay; they are analyzed and discussed in turn.
From the Paper
"Orson Wells' 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane is regarded as one of the finest movies since the beginning of American cinema. Like anything that is considered "great" this film has stood well against the test of time. In Citizen Kane the validity and importance of the story is almost secondary to the methods employed to tell that story. Wells, the consummate performer, utilized all of his experience stage acting and directing experience in Kane. Many of the techniques had never been used in such a manner or to the extent that Wells did. All story elements aside, Citizen Kane ushered in a new period in American Film and would inspire the film-makers not only of the generation when it premiered but film-makers even today."

Abstract
This paper agrees with Aristotle's concept of the citizen and addresses what he meant by both commanding and obeying. The paper discusses harmonization and the balance of Athenian political philosophy and reflects on what Aristotle would think of Canadian citizenship in our day and how it can be ignored or interpreted differently in relation to the society.
From the Paper
"This paper responds positively to Aristotle's view of the citizen as a person able to both command and obey, as seems an excellent ideal, and rather in contrast with much around us in the developed West in our day, pertaining to how citizenship is regarded. Aristotle saw the citizen as the most important political unit of Athens, as a city-state apart, in which his day saw perhaps 40,000 citizens as compared to a broader Athenian population of approximately 300,000, many..."

These works can influence the medium of film in technical, thematic, stylistic or a wide range of other ways. Probably one of the most influential films is Citizen Kane. Filmmakers and critics give a wide range of reasons for suggesting that Citizen Kane is one of the greatest films of all time. Some would suggest that the work is a brilliant example of technical filmmaking while others would suggest that its use of narrative was truly unique. "

Abstract
This paper explains that Citizen's resources and capabilities are quite extensive; their brand name is globally recognized as an industry leader and their image is one of quality at a moderate price. The author points out that Citizen reported an increase in their operating margins; however, their revenue growth has been inconsistent and the performance in their wristwatch division has been declining, which is troubling given the competitiveness of the industry. The paper concludes that Citizen is securely positioned in a highly competitive industry because their research and development resources are unrivaled by many in the industry and key geographic regions for the company have a positive economic outlook.

From the Paper
"The diversification of Citizen's product line has allowed them to offer a variety of timepieces that will meet the needs of a diverse client base. They have positioned themselves as primarily a moderately priced, yet high quality, watch manufacturer. Their numerous subsidiaries allow them global market access. And, by partnering with Fossil, they hope to remain on the cutting edge of technological development in the industry. Unrelated diversification is a large part of Citizen. In addition to wristwatches, the company also manufactures clocks and internal and external clock and watch parts."
