To identify how this interaction helps build the dramatic structure, Thomas Pavel’s concept of move was utilised to pinpoint the plot progressionin the three ...Daha fazlası

The relationship between machiavelism, grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, and loneliness among white collar workers

When the production phase of a movie, the director and the director's worldview, the script, the budget, the advertising relations, in other words the production relations, are evaluate ...Daha fazlası
