ReplyDeletePolitics is dirty
Because they said "Government of the people, by the people, for the people !"
but the Politicians (shown in the movie)
for their support and benefits they kill the Honest Voice.
and some, they just let someone else to do (speaks) for them
that they can do for themselves (forgot their own voice to speak up!)
as Rudd said "the people believe what we tell them to believe"
they tell the public or even in their congress, somethings to believe
(just their words) even it's lie or etc...
the Politics under those perverse minded people should be dirty
they shouldn't forget to use their voice (for justice) &
they shouldn't forget whom do they speak for.

ReplyDeleteElle Woods' way is better than the Washington way
"So you can do it the Washington way. But I'm going to do it the Elle Woods way." - Elle Woods
When Elle heads to Washington DC to pass a bill prohibiting animal testing, she struggles with the completely new environment and the serious attitude of her peers. In order to persevere, she must stop conforming to their norm and revert to her true self with all while wearing her signature pink! Remember that your unique perspective and insight is what makes you special. So don’t feel pressured to fit in with the rest of the crowd. Be yourself!

ReplyDeleteI do not agree that Grace Rossiter was a good person. Despite the fact that she came around to help Elle Woods with the discharging of the Bruiser Bill, it took more dirty work than noble actions for her to come up with an effective plan. Though Grace’s blackmailing of Rudd paved the way for Elle to deliver her Bill to the floor of the House, it just reveals how immoral methods were used to fulfill an objective. It simply goes that the end does not justify the means. True, it may have been stated in the movie that Grace was innocent from the trading in of the Bruiser Bill for the Homeowner’s Bill, which was the ultimate cause of the Bruiser Bill not being passed initially, however, as a colleague, she showed no respect towards the expertise of Elle and continued to undermine her capabilities. She only had a change of heart once she discovered what Congresswoman Rudd was truly up to. Though it may be justified that Grace simply changed due to the fact that she was surrounded by dirty politics, it cannot go unnoticed that her colleague, Elle Woods, did not allow the same fate to happen to her. A said “good person” should by no means underestimate a colleague’s abilities especially by demeanor alone, which Grace is evidently guilty of.
A similar situation of the end not justifying the means may be witnessed in Philippine politics, during the Marcos administration. The Marcos administration may have initiated ambitious public works projects that helped improve the quality of life, yet during his second term he was forced to declare martial law due to the slowing of economic growth and increase in crime rate. Apart from that, his cronies and wife engaged in rampant corruption. Marcos may have brought progress in the Philippines for some time yet his methods of leading it do not justify the positive objectives he has set for the country.

ReplyDeleteGrace was a good person.
Like many people, Grace believe in what is always written in the law- in the book. She obeys rules and regulations but fights back when necessary. She is actually a good person that just forgot how to fight for herself because of the realization that real life politics is harsh. When she first saw Elle, she somewhat see herself in her as a rookie but as Elle’s achievements arise -- her jealousy started to cloud her thinking. She is one of those who did their best for the country but came back with a failed mission to pass her ideal bills for USA’s improvement unlike Elle who did it in a matter of weeks. That made her close her ears to what the others has to say that is not within the law and the book-hence saying she do things the “Washington way” (old-fashioned way).
Just like our current situation on our very own Government, they’ve always wanted to push and pass a certain bill because they believed that it will help the country. But they always tend to forget to listen to what the people really want.
Grace is one of the best example as the “listener” to Elle’s and the people’s “voice”. In the end, she finally “speak up” and fought bravely for the truth by helping Elle pass Bruiser’s bill for it is what the people want.

ReplyDelete*Politics is dirty*
Some politicians don’t really want their job in order to help society and create a change, most of them use it as a way to gain popularity and money in the process. I think that majority of our leaders do not genuinely want to change people’s lives, instead they are driven by their own needs and greed to get what they want for their own family and not for the real needy ones.
In the movie, politicians, especially Representative Victoria Rudd lied and forcefully twisted the truth in order to get what she wants, in order not to compromise her own position and reputation in the government.
The line that struck me the most was when Elle Woods said “What you're saying is...if C'est Magnifique follows the letter of the law...even if it ends up hurting living beings...we're just doing our job?” This is one question politicians nowadays and the whole world should reflect upon. Not because something is formally written down or has been followed for years means that it forever is the right thing. Sometimes we have to deflect from the norm in order to be fair and be able to give full justice especially when in terms of hurting someone or something.

ReplyDelete"Politics is dirty"
In the movie, Elle Woods befriended the Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, Congressman Stan Marks and the ranking member of the same committee, Congresswoman Libby Hauser. As a result, both Marks and Hauser warm to Elle and eventually became supporters of Bruiser's bill. It only goes to show that the mobilization of popular support for legislation is perhaps the only way to short-circuit political games and ensure that Congress will respect the will of the people.
Also, Elle discovered that Congresswoman Victoria Rudd has been working against her. Rudd retracted her support for the bill in an attempt to satisfy the interests of her major campaign contributor Bob. This points out another flaw in politics wherein campaign contributors call the shots and backroom deals are the basis of whether a bill will pass or fail. Lastly, it also showed that true, idealistic politicians can be easily bought off.

ReplyDelete• Grace was a good person
Every person has a good heart, it’s just that we have different experiences that make us who we are and mold our personality. Good experiences makes us happy and thankful, but for bad experiences, we tend to take it negatively because it hurt us or it really made an impact on us that changed our lives, but bad experiences doesn’t mean that we are the most cursed person in the world, it is also a blessing because bad experiences makes is stronger individuals. Yes, we felt bad and even worst but we still learned from it and gain something from it that we can bring for the rest of our lives. And for that we have the strength to face every single thing that will come to us.
The character of Grace in the movie, she was rude in talking to Elle and she always wanted to be on top and always right, she really tells what’s inside her, but the good thing about it is that she is true to herself and still did the right thing to do even if she doesn’t like Elle’s personality ad specially the Bill. I understand why Grace acts like that because she worked hard to be on that position but still did not see her effort and hard word. At the end, she managed the bad experience she had before and do the things in the right way.

ReplyDelete"An honest voice is louder than a crowd"
Although it may come from only one voice, an honest one may triumph over a crowd. With perseverance of an honest man to reveal what is true and right, no amount of external hindrances may deter the person from his objective. As seen in the movie, Elle Woods was able to make a way to pass the Bruiser's bill by herself. With her will and dedication to save the animals from being tested for cosmetics, she was able to speak out her concern despite having a lot of trouble along the way.
Having an honest voice is not only expressed through speaking, but also through other ways that can reach out to people such as writing. A perfect example for this is our own national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. He opened the eyes of our fellow Filipinos through his novels and revealed the real condition of the Philippines under the Spanish government which was then abusive and full of anomalies. Although many Filipinos that time were also aware of this condition, he was the one to speak out the truth courageously. He was able to inspire other Filipinos to revolt and fight for independence.
Having an honest voice does not only mean speaking the truth, but also being able to express one's ideas and desire to do what is right and just. A society does not need a crowd of cowards in order to progress. It only takes one honest and brave man to speak and act for it, and make a change for the good of the society.

ReplyDeleteAn honest voice is louder than a crowd.
When I was in high school, one of my teachers said to us, “stand up for what you believe in, even if that means you are standing alone.” In our today’s society, so many things are regimented and organized leaving little room for individuality. Sometimes people just choose to be part of the crowd and conform with the choice of majority even if they have different beliefs and values. Unfortunately, this happens every time and everywhere around us. People will blindly follow and take part into a situation even if they don’t understand it, just because everyone else is. Here in the Philippines, some people take part on various rallies without even knowing what they are fighting for, these people might have been told to go there in exchange of a meager reward and it’s sad how they can just let other people control and influence them. How frustrating it is to see that many of our fellowmen up to now, can easily be fooled by corrupt officials just by lending them help when we all know that most of those are just for publicity stunt. How frustrating it is to see that many of our fellowmen still choose the same political leaders over and over again, even if those people already had a long list of bad history on the past. These things happen because such people fail to listen to their inner voice, and is therefore associated with a great deal of guilt. With all of the chaos happening in the Philippines, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
The contrary happened to the movie when Elle Woods wholeheartedly stood up for the passing of Bruiser’s Bill. At first, no one believed in her and some seemed to mock her for what she is trying to fight for. However, she was very eager and determined despite what people think of. She didn’t wait for other people to volunteer as she stood up and spoke for those that cannot speak for themselves, which happens to be the dogs. In the movie, at first, she seems to be alone in the battle but she did not care. She did not conform and made a bill with the help of different people. She fought for what she knew was right. All it takes is a determination and a decent intention. The difference between a crowd and a single person with an honest voice is their core. Crowd, although they are larger in number, does not always mean that they have more point and substance compared to one person.
During the 1930’s to 1940’s, Mahatma Gandhi headed India's movement for independence by challenging the British not with violence and weapons, but with peaceful protests and stirring inspirational speeches. He is undeniably one among of the remarkable people in the 20th century. Gandhi proved that one man has the power to take on an empire, using both ethics and intelligence. As the famous political and spiritual quoted it,
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

ReplyDelete"Making a law affecting animal testing is an economic concern"
Legally Blonde II showcases the passion a young lawyer (Elle Woods) has for her little dog (Bruiser) in making him part of her activities, including her wedding. Whilst trying to fins Bruiser's mother, Elle discovers that her pet Chihuahua's mother is a lab animal to test makeup. To emancipate Bruiser's, Elle must change federal law and make animal testing illegal.
Animal testing is indeed and economic concern. While others may deem it as sadistic and immotal, it does have it's benefits.
Pros:
- Animal testing has greatly cobtributed to major advances such as treatments and cures to various health conditiins and diseases such as breast canver, diabetes, brain injury, leukemia, cystic fibrosis, malaria, multiple sclerosis, tuberculosis, and many others, and was conducive in the development of pacemakersand anesthetics.
- There is no adequate alternative to testing on a living system. Living systems such as human beings and animals are extremely complex. Studying cell cultures in a petri dish may be useful at times but it won't provide the opportunity to study the processes happening in the central nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system.
- In cases where ethical considerations prevent the use of human subjects, this is where animal testing comes in handy. When testing medicines which could be potentially toxic, the lives of human subjects would greatly be at risk. It would be unethical to perform an invasive experimental procedure on human beings before the methods have been tested on animals first.
- Researchers who handle animal testings treat them humanely, both for the animals' sake and to ensure reliable test results.
- Various cosmetics and health care products must be tested on animals to ensure that a product is safe to use.
- Sveral religious traditions allow for human dominion over animals such as the bible.
- Relatively few animals are used in research, which is a small price to pay for progress and advancement in medicine and medical procedures.
Cons:
- Animal testing is cruel and inhumane. Animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to force feeding, forced inhalation, deprivation of food and water, physical restraint, infliction of burns and wounds in order to study the healing process, the infliction of pain to study its effects and remedies.
- Alternative methods are already available so that it can replace the need for animals. In vitro (in glass) testing, like studying cell cultures in a petri dish for example, can produce more relevant results than animal testing because human cells can be used.
- Animals are very different from human beings, hence, they make poor test subjects. Anatomic, metabolic, and cellular differences between animals and human beings make them poor test subjects.
- Drugs that pass these animal tests are not necessarily safe.
- Results in animal testing are not reliable to predict the same results in human beings.
- Most experiments involving animal test subjects are flawed and unsuccessful, so the lives of the animal subjects are put to waste.
- Animals also suffer like we humans do, so it is speciesism to experiment on them.
- Various medical breakthroughs have been made without tge disposal of animal test subjects.
With that being said, I am still a strong believer that human life is superior to animals. Although some might say that we ourselves evolved from animals, I think that human beings are intellectual beings, unlike animals, we are able to make our own decisions and not act rabid animals. If a life of let's say a rabbit or a dog is at stake in order to find a cure to a disease, then I would gladly take that risk if it would mean saving the lives of millions of human beings.

True expression subject have information (good) on the one hand, is loyal to the goodness of heart.
"Honesty" is a commendatory term, used to praise a person's good quality, it has the characteristics of "good", it is not the same as accurately express the objective fact that meaning.
Such as a criminal with his shooting process, we will not to praise him with honesty, and a to protect innocent people are forced to lie, we can't blame him with dishonesty.
In the film, an honest voice is better than a group of people.
If no one support you, and you have to stick to your faith, want to insist oneself to say it out loud, said to people around the world, let more people hear the sound of the real, rather than live in a world of hypocrisy.
I believe that truth is to belong to a few people.

ReplyDeleteAn honest voice is louder than a crowd.
One person can always start a change in the world, as long as it is in support of moral and humane way. A single opposition can blossom to a worldwide resistance if it aims for a better way of living. One honest voice is louder than a crowd provided that he or she speaks for the goodness of those without voices. Elle Woods’ disapproval of animal testing for cosmetics became a voice of the animals tortured and experimented on. The process of making the Bruiser’s bill was a long, difficult and full of criticisms. Several people were against it for economic and business reasons and they would always say that the Bruiser’s bill was not worth talking about. One woman versus a number of businessmen, economists and even haters, but Elle did not stop. In the end, her plead was supported by her friends and was made known by more people which led to the success of the Bruiser’s bill.
A very good example of this is the petition for STOP THE YULIN DOG MEAT EATING FESTIVAL in Yulin, China which was done every June 21. The organization Raise Ur Paw made a petition to ban this tradition wherein countless Canine lives are sacrificed (butchered, beaten to death, skinned alive and eaten). This little opposition had a hard time to convince the governor of Yulin and its people; but that does not stop them. In this situation, their voice is louder than those dog-eating people because the fight for the rights of the dogs. Millions of people learned about this tradition and supported the petition; however (UNFORTUNATELY) the Yulin Festival still took place despite of the global opposition.
As long as you fight for the good, even there is a crowd against you, JUST TRUST YOUR VOICE.

ReplyDelete"Elle Woods' way is better than the Washington way"
Since the first movie of Legally Blonde way back from 2001, Elle Wood's way is the best way to solve any problem. She handles things practically and even though they are very simple, the results are astonishing and she get what she wants. To simply put, she is thinking outside the box. She do thing her own way and this just proves that all task can be done if you deal it your own way, it will become a part of you and it will be natural. The good thing about her thinking outside the box is that she notices the little things that is left out by the majority but those little things gave away vital points to the task or the argument. At the end of part of the movie, she used the help of her sorority sisters which for a normal lawyer (in the movie) will not approve nor will not resort to this kind of thinking. But it gave a dramatic boost to get supporters for her bill.
Notice that her gave her the most help she need came from a doorman, an ordinary man. This is signifying that you don't need to be the strongest man or the most intellectual to solve the problem, you just need to be you. And our way of thinking is what defines us, for the reason that our background can be evaluate with the way we reason things, as Gautama Buddha said: "What we think, we become."
Jose Rizal, our national hero, is a very good example on how one made difference by just being who he is. Rizal deal the problems of our society differently by not just going against the source of the problem and proposing ideas on how to change and fix it. During his time, eliminating entirely the source of the problem is the way of thinking of the society without even recognizing their own powers nor planning carefully after the problem is eliminated. Rizal saw that, during his time, the Philippines is not yet ready for a revolution, even if they win, it will not last long. Just like what Rizal said, the 1st Philippine Republic didn't last long upon the arrival of the Americans.
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo can be a very good example of doing the things her way and getting astonishing results. Even though she is not honorable as Rizal, she is the reason why our country wasn't fully affected by the global recession during the first decade of the millennium. Many representatives from the legislature does not approve her actions on increasing the VAT or E-VAT, but because of the E-VAT, the Philippines didn't experienced the full blow of the global recession.
This is somehow similar to the philosophy of Niccolo Machiavelli, "the end justify the means". The important part is how the results benefited to the bigger part of the society and having more weight is being who you are upon doing things. Do things like they are nature to you and you will receive even greater results.

ReplyDeleteMaking a law affecting animal testing is an economic concern.
Relying on animal research and testing to protect and improve human health is not only unsafe, but also expensive, time-consuming, and unreliable. Problems of extrapolation applying information from animal research to humans are inevitable when researchers use animal models to study human diseases. Species differences in anatomy, organ structure and function, toxin metabolism, chemical and drug absorption, and mechanisms of DNA repair among myriad other differences between humans and other species can give us inadequate information when we attempt to apply animal data to human diseases and drug responses. And despite millions of animals used and billions of taxpayer dollars spent on cancer research, roughly 95 percent of cancer drugs that enter human clinical testing fail while our incidences of cancer have continued to rise. Stated by Dr. Richard Klausner, former Director of the National Cancer Institute, “We have cured cancer in mice for decades and it simply didn’t work in human. Even chimpanzees, our closest genetic relatives, do not accurately predict results in humans of the more than 80 HIV vaccines that have proven safe and efficacious in chimpanzees, all have failed to protect or prove safe in humans in nearly 200 human clinical trials, with one actually increasing a human’s chance of HIV infection.

ReplyDelete“Making a law affecting animal testing is an economic concern”
Legally Blonde 2 seeks the devotion of Elle Woods for his dog, Bruiser, making him as part of her life. During the time they are finding Bruiser’s mom, Elle discovers that Bruiser’s mom is a subject on animal test for makeup. With this situation, Elle realizes that she must change the federal law and make animal testing illegal.
In reality, researches involve the acquisition of new knowledge, use of animals in teaching exercises and testing of compounds for safety and effectiveness. There must be a reasonable expectation on every research which involves animals that will contribute significantly to the present and future knowledge. In spite of this advancement, the opposition to animal experiments always existed. If you’re an animal moralist you would think that scientists are irresponsible towards the future generation.
In the movie Legally Blonde 2, Elle speaks on behalf, on those who can’t speak for themselves. Even though a lot obstacle in the way, Elle was determined on making and passing Bruiser’s Bill. Passing a law or a bill is not as easy just like what you expect thus it is a tedious and complicated process. Just like other developing countries, our country passed an Animal Welfare Act to protect and promote the welfare of all animals. It is important to have a proper balancing act wherein each side would understand and appreciate the point of view of each other. In other words, rights and responsibilities always go hand in hand. Human beings have the rights, and thus they have a responsibility towards non-human beings surrounding them. No responsibilities are attributed to non-human beings and intrinsically, they cannot have the same right as enjoyed by human beings. Once the rights are understood, the scientists should not view the animals as mere machines. As a Thomasian Biologist, we handle and care animals through an ethical requirement following the right protocol which the experimental design must offer practicable safeguard to the animal.

ReplyDeleteGrace was a good person.
Grace didn't like Elle Woods from the beginning, that's true. She treated her like an idiot who doesn't know her way around the office. However, she only did this because her impression to Grace was not the ideal one to begin with. Grace loves her job, writing bills, etc. And she will not let anything happen to harm it in anyway, unless she would take the risk and help a friend in need of her assistance. She even helped Elle realize the true nature of the courtroom in Washington. She's a good person, and she improved that kind of personality even more when Elle came around.
The idea that Elle Woods gave a negative impression on her is because Elle is too positive and a happy-go-lucky girl. Grace thought an attitude like that wouldn't survive the weapons of the court in Washington. That's why people take politics seriously. Just like Grace herself. And Senator Miriam Santiago, who may not be of the lightest of words, but still dominates the discussion room.
Grace takes everything seriously, and does everything the Washington Way". Every bill, every right, always done in the Washington Way. Meaning that this way is the proper and just type of way to handle things in the legislature. Just like the Rules and Regulations in the law. You have to make sure you do Step One in order to proceed to Step Two, otherwise you wouldn't progress. For example, if you need to arrest somebody or just plain investigate around the person's house, you need to ask the Judge for a warrant.
Grace is a helpful person. She may not look like it at first, but after a few sets of enlightenment, she could help out a few things or two. Just like what she did for Elle so she could find the last 15 signatures needed for her bill called the "Bruiser's Bill". She risked her job for the sake of helping Elle. Specifically

ReplyDeleteMaking a law affecting animal testing is an economic concern
Animal testing plays a great role in the economic cycle. In the field of business where money is the number one precedence, ethics, scientific progress, politics, animal welfare or consumer and environmental safety are hard to separate from each other. With the increasing number of major industries, trade and workforces that are intimately linked with animal testing, making a law affecting the said testing would definitely be an economic concern. It becomes clear that this is more than simple production but can also affect the quality of current testing, decision making and regulation of different products.
In fact, technology right now have made animal testing unnecessary, such that "Scientists have built an accurate working model of a human heart that will allow researchers to test new treatments electronically before they are attempted on humans." Further, "computerized ’virtual organs’ predict how drugs will be absorbed and metabolized, so drug companies can now test the effects of substances electronically before ever trying them on a person," PETA’s website claims. If it is possible not to use animals in the field of medicine, maybe it is also possible for business firms to produce products not tested on animals. Making a law affecting animal testing not only talks about the economy or loss of business opportunities for individual companies but also some relevant societal effects, for instance, medical progress. Although, great adjustment must be done that can cost a lot of money, understanding how the current situation is impairing the economy and causing delays and high costs to businesses can be used to improve methods of improving animal welfare standards. In the movie, Elle Woods lend her voice for his dog Bruiser, to pass the bill. Though animal testing is used to ensure the safety of people, Elle thought that it is still morally wrong because of the use of unethical and inhumane procedures on the animals that can lead to their death. In reality one good example is the store The Body Shop, wherein they sell cosmetics, soaps and many more that is against animal testing. They used this marketing strategy to lure more customers, but we cannot claim that its ingredients have never been animal tested.

Elle Woods is someone who we should make a role model. She doesn’t care whether or not most agree with her, as long as she does what she knows is right, she will fight for it, even if it means fighting alone. I admire her because even when all her co-workers are very serious and thinks low of her, she still did not compromise to be one of them. Even when all are wearing black, grey, she still wore her style. She just was herself. I am very fond of her because she thinks out of the box unlike most politicians in Washington DC. When she was betrayed by Rudd we can see that she still has a good heart for she did not blackmail her or took revenge, instead she just made a way to get the attention of most people to support the campaign against animal testing. She made use of her connections (friends, friend’s friends) which for me was a very brilliant move. It is seldom in politics that we see a person stand up and fight for the right thing even when he/she knows that she has a little chance to succeed. I hope that most people will not just conform to the norm in politics but just make a change and do Elle Woods’ way! :)

Having integrity and being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. It’s not simply about being honest with people. Whilst that will make you a better person and a more accepted one it’s more importantly about being honest with yourself. Personal development or self-growth is all about fostering the positive qualities within yourself to enable you to lead a fuller, more enriched life and to rid yourself of negative qualities, feelings and emotions which have been holding you back.
In the film, “An honest voice is louder than a crowd”
We can all learn a thing or two from Elle Woods when it comes to believing in yourself. Elle demonstrates that perseverance and hard work can really get you where you want to go. She proved everything and she fight on it. And in the end, her close relatives support on what her doing just to fight Bruiser’s Bill. She was a brave girl because she did not give up easily even though, many people doesn’t believe her on what she’s doing. I’m proud of what she did because it’s not easy when you’re fighting alone.

ReplyDelete"An honest voice is louder than a crowd"
Elle Woods gave voices to the animals that can't speak, by passing the "Bruiser's Bill." This Bill aims to stop animal testing that brings a lot of harmful effects.
And example of this may be seen in our politics, Whistle-blowers are usually persecuted for breaking the silence and telling the awful truth in the society. Like the whistle-blowers in the ZTE deal and in the Pork Barrel incident, honest voices like them changed the crowd that was heard by the Judiciary and several cases were filed and judged by the court, now the criminal politicians are facing the consequences of their actions. It is also stated in the scriptures, "blessed are the persecuted for the sake of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Therefore, telling the truth can free you
Just because the majority believes in something, it does not mean that it is always right. An honest voice speaks the truth and it is morally right to stand up and fight for the truth. Speak up and defy the crowd, let the honest voice change the crowd. Let the honest voice be now the crowd like how Elle Woods did. Truly this movie is an eye opener of the bigger adversity in our society which is honesty and integrity. Elle Woods is the best example of an honest voice that is louder than a crowd.

ReplyDeleteGrace was a good person
Getting into politics is a very difficult thing to do. One should be strong willed, smart, and patient to be able to survive in the political world. Legally Blonde 2 shows how hard it was for a bill to be approved. One should be patient and aggressive to be able to have her bill to be recognized by the higher ups. An example of this was Grace Rossiter, who is that administrative assistant for Congresswoman Rudd. At first, Grace doesn’t like working with Elle Woods—the movie’s protagonist; It was shown at the Snap Cup, how she wrote that Elle and the Snap Cup were both stupid; and it was shown that she has a negative reaction about Elle’s Bruiser’s Bill. She stated one time that she has seen a lot of idealistic young girls/ interns who were once strong willed to present their own ideas with the Congress—and always came home empty handed. One might say that Grace was being rude, but it was shown—based on what she has said to Elle, how she has given up proposing her own ideas since it was a long process for one’s bill to be recognized and for it to pass. However, near the end of the movie, Elle spoke up for Grace after Rudd used her to find an excuse on why the congresswoman withdraw her support from the Bruiser’s Bill, which fortunately was recorded. Grace in the end helped Elle by using the recorded file to blackmail Congresswoman Rudd to give Elle Woods a chance to talk in front of the Congress.

ReplyDeleteMaking a law affecting animal testing is an economic concern.
Elle Woods as we my say is someone is extraordinary she used a different way to let her bill pass to the congress. The bill was Bruiser's Bill. Bill intended for the use of animals for cosmetic purposes. For me, this is not ethical. Imagine if human beings was used for it, they're faces would be ruined by now. Yes, for me the bill was a economic concern. Because For example if there were no animals to be tested on, to whom will they test it.
