Royalty income is usually the real profit center for a franchisor because of the leveraging ability. For example, imagine a franchise company owns 100 franchised outlets, and each outlet does $30,000 in monthly sales and pays a 5% royalty to the franchise company. That means $1,500 is paid by each franchisee, resulting in $150,000 paid to the franchisor each month (or 100 outlets x $1,500).
Whangara, setting of Whale Rider (film & novel), is located on the East Coast of New Zealand's North Island. Whitireia = the Maori meeting house built at Whangara in 1939. Pai names Whitireia in her Paikea chant in the Whale Rider film.
In Niki Caroâs film âWhale Riderâ, Pai is a holistic representation of female counter-stereotype when compared to the women that are shown in patriarchal Hollywood. The character of Pai broke through her assigned gender role and prevailed in what would otherwise be an entirely male-dominated path of spirituality.his film digs much deeper into areas of personal discovery, maturity into adulthood, assigned gender roles, and understanding oneâs place within oneâs family, community, and the world. Whale Rider shows honest emotional depth and authenticity in respect to the female voice.
