Introduction

The representation of women in the popular culture remains to be stereotyped by the naïve, sentimental, and domesticated women. It is through the media, which this issue continues to be propagated. There are several individuals and places focused on research on feminism publicizing both the positive and the negative gender disparities that are encountered daily. The resilient applauses me, hard working ladies who have undertaken significant influences through history to offer women the opportunities enjoyed in the contemporary society.

After there are enough cans, the tree will look like an aluminium tree. Below it will be an educative literature on how beverage industry in ...

Ever since I started dreaming about becoming an accounting professional, I had been searching for a proper university of international repute. Santa Clara University started haunting me since one evening when my mom narrated over coffee about the experience of her friend’s daughter in the famed business school in Silicon Valley. What excited me about Santa Clara University was the committed professors who paid attention to individual students since I believed in business schools students would not get individual attention as they used to get in high schools. I began to research about the university through the internet ...

Oppositional readings are a strategy being adopted by individuals who feel the media sometimes provides them with what they do not require. This is usually revealed through criticism of some authors and even movies ‘fans take found footage from television texts and edit them to construct their own videos which comment sometimes with irony’ (Jenkins, 1989, pg 550). Authors and directors who form part of oppositional analysts go a head to write books and even shoot movies to discourage the audience against such literature. A clear example is the movie titled I hate vampires. The movie is a production of people who ...

I was born in Los Angeles flower garden on the wrong side of town. My earliest memories are scrabbling through refuse for food and clothing. One day I was casing a 7-11 when I saw another kid my age eying the candy rack. A thief knows a thief when he sees one, and this guy clearly didn’t know how to do the job right. I could see the Pakistani man who ran the place staring at him. His brow was furrowed, and I knew he was close to coming ...

Therapeutic recreation is a form of health practice that is focused on interventions to make people with disabilities to feel better. These interventions aim at improving their cognitive, social and physical functioning as far as any disability is concerned (Coyle and Shank 102).

Disability is seen to involve a lot of other things other than what is commonly known and perceived by most people as a disability.

Creative thinking has often much to do with occasional yet productive wandering of thought, which sometimes causes difficulties to articulate one’s opinion and sometimes leads to eloquent and constructive expression of one’s mind. While for most writers resorting to strategies of metaphorical thinking is regarded a sure way to be understood by others, it is actually a matter of dispute whether metaphors and comparisons are relevant tools for meaningful self-expression. It can hardly be denied that figures of speech might mar the bigger picture of overall sense, leaving black stains on awkward and inappropriate meaning use.

Felicia sat on the steps of her apartment building, bouncing a small yellow ball. It was dark out, only the dim light from the hallway behind her lighted the street. The sounds of sirens blared in the distance. A car rambled by and the thump of the loud bass vibrated through the cement of the sidewalk to where she sat. The vibration was almost soothing; she watched the car run a red light almost wistfully. It was late at night; it must be nice to somewhere to go.
She happily bounced the ball a few more times before some mischievous urge ...

The media and politics will continue to have very close ties (Errington, 2007). As aspiring candidates you need to gain a wide exposure of the media in order to win in elections in the modern political system. In most situations reporters have limited options other than giving leaders of the government of the time slightly more coverage or excess coverage at the worst. This kind of discrimination should not be extended up to the years of election. The media staffs have a sole responsibility to make preparations that will see them through the manipulation that most likely they are expecting to ...

While they claim that a picture is worth a thousand words, it may portray different meanings depending on culture. Music is extraordinary; it is a universal language that is discrimination free. Music is a language that conveys emotion across all cultures. Regardless of the previous exposure or culture, individuals can watch or listen to a song and detect whether a song contains happiness, fear and sadness. Music is thus a language that considers each person’s interest, taste and preference with no bias. On understanding that music is a language, the second point to consider is that music as a language reveals our identity. Music is a language that ...

Information in speech making

The purpose of a speech in a very fundamental sense is to inform, persuade and entertain the audience. Of the three goals, one can see why ‘informing’ is ethically, generically and essentially the most important function of a speech. During the speechmaking process, the speaker must ensure that the information he is going to use in his speech is relevant, up-to-date and factual. This is not only an ethical obligation he or she has towards the audience, but also a very necessary attribute when it comes to making a long-term impact in the audience’s mind. After all, we live in the Information Age ...
