<div><br/><br/>Im doing a paper on Austrian film, particularly on the film Import/Export. I am exploring basic themes of Austrian film and how they relate to the culture. It seems that Austrian films portray life &#8220;as is&#8221; and nothing is forced. They are often considered pessimistic and sometimes miserable. I know Austrian people are not this way, but what cultural/social characteristics of society would make Austrian filmmakers portray films in this way?<br/></div>

<div><br/><br/>I am planning to bring an understanding of religion, god and culture to all, since India has over beaten western culture, for instance we never knew about gay relationships, living together and sex before marriage (dating) so for, recently I got to hear so many people are getting attracted to this things. People r getting pulled away to these things and or getting frustrated every minute, no peace, depression rate is high. </p>
<p>Determine from what sources people are pulled away from the traditional culture and following weird culture. </p>
<p>Is it bolloywood, over consciousness on physical structure or money?<br />
Or lack of god consciousness.<br/></div>
