Compare and contrast 3 pivotal choices or desicions made by Jamal and Salim.How do their choices affect their respective paths in life?
As they made different choices in their life their life took different ways.Salim made the decision of living his home.He made a decision about working to a very dangerous man, and at the end of the movie the decided to help his brother and Latika by killing his boss.Those decisions or actions made his end.
Jamal decided to work.That decision made him get in the show of who wants to be a millionaire.he decided to play, and he won at the end.IN the game he made several decisions but at the end he keep on winning so he baceame millionaire.


Is ethnical decision making posible when one must make choices based on survival?Do seemingly "bad"choices make a person bad?
Most of the time because the people who are making a decision they are customed or "made" by their ethic group so they think or act like someone of their ethnic group would act, but talking about survival cases sometimes not because when it's about survival you don't care about the others would think it's just that you want to survive and its not neccesary and ethnical decision.Bad choices don't make a person bad, they are just a mistake.But when you keep on making bad decisions you can change but not at all.

What do you think the film is saying about globalization of culture through media?We see the game show "Who wants to be a millionaire"?adapted in the indian culture.Is this a sign of progress?Why or Why not?What is the film staying about the effect of money on culture.
There are still their culture, there are still extremely poor people and human discrimination, there is globalization but their culture doesn't change.The game could be a sign of progress but not so much because its just a show and just a couple of the indian people win money from there, its progress because they are getting more modern with tv show and all that.People were extremely poor, but in the movie we could see people who were not poor but their culture for me was the same, they still treated women badly, there were fights between the people, etc.

  1. I agree when you say that when you are looking for survival you dont think about the rest of the people i guess its instinct, and in my opinion it is allright. By the other hand thats why he have heroes who cant think about others before themselves, -little cases-.

  2. I agree on the globalization question, I mean India it's a country that right now has very big and expensive projects for the city, but at the same time we see that India is a coutrny that has a lot of poor people, it has one of the biggest slums in all of the world.

  3. I agree about the first question, about Salim's and Jamal's decision.
    Every decision that they made in their past, influence in some way their future, if you made bad choices in your past, like Salim did, your future would not be what you expected.
    Jamal took the decision to work and play the game of "who wants to be a millionare", he didn't had much to loose, but he had a lot to gain.
