Literature Review covering Media and Politics

Introduction
Media and politics come hand in hand because they combine to convey information to the public. Media is defined as the channel in which information is stored and transmitted to the population. The media has been given different names such as mass media or the news media. The media has many advantages and disadvantages that could end up ruining the country and corrupting the youth. Politics is defined as the practice of influencing people so as to do their civic duty in the society (Safire, p.566). By influencing people certain people are able to gain position of ...

One major issue of concern in society today is that Elderly people do not get the respect and care that they deserve in the American society. This is something which needs attention of the people, society and the government immediately and in the most somber manner.

The question is that why in American society people have less sympathy towards elderly people and why they are ...

Introduction

The existence of classes in the society has a long history dating back to the 19th century in the Western Europe after the industrial revolution (Abrutyn, 2013). As such, because of the industrial revolution, classes emerged. In this regard, the classes that emerged comprised of those of the rich and those people who worked for them. However, since then different forms of stratification emerged in the society. Examples of such stratifications or classes are the ones based on gender, race, age, and religion (Bartos & Wehr, 2002). Consequently, various arguments exist concerning these new forms of stratification with some people viewing ...

Introduction

Following a decline, since the mid to late 1990s, in the number of young people smoking, more recent reports have indicated that these numbers are now, once again, beginning to rise. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), figures from a 2005 study indicate that 23% of high school students had smoke in the month prior, which shows an increase from 21.9% in a 2003 study (Family First Aid, 2000-2006). This figure alone is enough to prompt fears that smoking could begin to grip our nation’s youth, irrespective of the amount of anti-smoking education that they are presented ...

The society has changed and crime is increased and good behavior reduced among the youths which is not good for civilization. The unity in the society is not anymore which caused writers such as O’Conner and Oates to write on the behavior of the current society. It is with no doubt that a good man is hard to find in the present society due to loss of trust and many young people having adopted bad lifestyles. This means that the arguments written by O’Connor and Oates are very good in giving the picture of what the society ...

The traditional Buddhist practices of compassion are a way of helping people undergoing traumatic and terrorizing event to integrate and accept their emotions into their lives. These practices include tantric visualization, mind awareness, and calming relaxation.

Uncertainty Reduction Theory (URT), developed by Berger & Calabrese in the year 1975, is an experiential theory that states that individuals always feel the need to reduce uncertainty in initial face to face relationship interactions so as to feel comfortable about developing those relationships further. URT proposes that behavior in early acquaintance communication is clearly understood through the individual’s ability to predict and explain the behaviors of self and partners. URT posits that the early interaction between two strangers is primarily motivated by the goal of uncertainty reduction and this involves making the behavior of oneself and that of ...

The Cultural Effects on Economic Development in Sub-Saharan Africa

Development can easily be defined as a gradual, warm and considerate process that attempts to alleviate man’s technological and economic standards or conditions without disrespecting or disregarding his social, political and cultural values (Edigin, 2010). Consequently, it is impossible to divorce development from a people’s culture. For any development to be successful, it must have its roots in the culture of people (Nzongola-Ntalaja, 1996). The cultural patterns of any given community will determine whether change will be welcomed or rejected by that community. If a culture is supported and protected, there are usually a number of valuable ...

Introduction

It is challenging to fathom exactly what drives people towards accomplishment in life, but there are some reasons to believe that both external and internal forces play significance roles in motivation. “Motivation is the particular word commonly used to describe the situation of self-determination” (Deci & Ryan, 2014). The theory of motivation developed by Deci and Ryan (2014), suggest that individuals are necessarily driven by the need to grow to gain personal fulfillment. However, where does that motivation stems from? Deci and Ryan (2014) explain that “self-determination influences people towards accomplishing such tasks." First, people's activities and efforts are usually ...

Introduction

The book “Things fall apart” speaks of the collapse or the disintegration of the Igbo culture. The setting is in Nigeria, in the 1890’s. It shows the tense interaction between the Igbo and the Christians and the clash of both cultures.

A lot of technologies, gadgets, and devices being introduced today require the use of an individual’s vision, among other things such as hand to eye coordination, a perfectly working sense of hearing, and of course, the ability to understand how the device works and to actually manipulate it. Thanks to the advancements in teaching education and lifestyle modification for the people with visual impairments, these particular segment of the population can still have experience to have a near normal life—same as those who do not have visual impairments. It is important to note early at this point, however, that ...

Social housing and work-lessness have always been a debated issue in the United Kingdom. Over the years, the housing associations and the Policy makers in UK have discussed the issue of work-lessness among the social housing tenants. The first thing to know here is what social housing means.

It is normally councils, local authorities, and non-profit housing associations, which provide such housing. Worklessness has been a major issue among the ...

Did the Welfare System Cause the Dissolution of the Black Family?

Introduction

In 1965 when the civil rights movements was experiencing an explosion, Daniel Patrick Moynihan penned a report to President Johnson claiming that one of the major reasons for poverty amongst black Americans was the fact that a quarter of black families were being headed by women. While that report caused a lot of uproar for the then White House aide, today we still see that many African American homes are manned by single women as many black babies seem to be born outside of wedlock. This is a problem that looks to ...

Introduction

It is obvious that our culture today is filled with victim mentality. This is a clear reflection of our society’s reality where it is easier for people to blame others because of their unhappy existence and situations (Morin, 2011). People lack the power to influence changes in their lives due to the perception that their lives element are far out of control. In most cases they tend to ask themselves, ‘why do bad things keep happening to me?’ These are habits that we find in so many people around us and at times we find ourselves in this situation. ...

Coordinated management of meaning (CCM) in social sciences provides an understanding of how individuals coordinate, create and manage meanings in the communication process.

In the contemporary world, people constantly communicate with others, and they normally design meaning of the messages which they used in their conversations. The meanings of the messages are based on the conversational experience of ...

We live in a world obsessed with routine. Anyone who tries to do things differently is frowned upon. As such, the only decent thing to do is to conform. As a result, many people end up feeling alienated. They end up feeling isolated by the world which is supposed to nurture and celebrate them. Consequently, their true identity is not discovered. Despite these events, all is not lost. Some literature authors have realized this problem, and they have dared to be different. They have walked paths which not so many people have walked and changed the way the society thinks. Although ...

Response to Journal Articles

Article: Chicken Hips
1. Central Theme: In Chicken Hips, Catherine Piggott explores the concept of cultural construction of beauty. From Piggott’s story, it is clear that the Gambian people consider women to be beautiful when they have broad hips, swinging breasts and round thighs (paragraph 17). The Gambians despise thin–bodied women, which explains the nickname given to the author (chicken hips) due to her slender body. The people also celebrate being fat, and it does not bother them to have large portions of food in their meals (paragraph17). This is a stark contrast to the culture in ...

- Introduction
Holocaust literature focuses on a multitude of different experiences, personalities, ethical choices, and behaviors-- both on the part of the victims and the perpetrators. Much of the literature that has been written on the subject focuses on the facts of the Holocaust; however, some of the literature focuses on the experiences of the victims and the aftermath that they experienced as a result of the Holocaust.
However, because this literature focuses on the same central event, it’s possible to identify many common themes that are woven into Holocaust-related short stories, poetry, drama, memoirs, and novels. In ...

Healing events are the core of God’s activity in the world and an integral part of His interaction with people throughout the history. The Bible gives us many splendid examples of people recovering and even raising from the dead, like healing the woman who touched Christ’s clothes and recovered from blood flowering (Mark 5:25-29 New King James version) and Lazarus revival. (John 11:43-44 New King James Version) God not only cured illnesses but souls too. The well- known example of it described in the Gospel according to John, when Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in ...

Cultural Tourism

Cultural tourism deals mainly with the relationship that cultural, social, and economic aspects of people have on the tourism aspects of a particular region. In chapter three, the author mainly emphasizes on the social life of people as a variable in tourism consumption. According to Greg (39), social aspects that influence tourism consumption fall in four that include class, education, income, occupation and age. Class mainly involves the competition among the people in society who consider their status above the rest and those who the society considers below in terms of economic prowess. The author argues that, as more people get ...

You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their appearance is telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting their state of mind. Nonverbal behavior is an important component to forming impressions about people's personality, sociability, and mood, among other things (Ambady and Rosenthal, p. 439). When someone typically tries to figure out what someone’s emotional state may be, three determinants are used; the emotional state of the observer, the emotional state of the observed, and the information ...

"The Gentlemen from Cracow" - Analysis

The allegorical short story "The Gentlemen from Cracow" is a very well-known and important piece of Yiddish folklore; a short story in which the poor villagers of the Polish town of Frampol attempt to deal with their own poverty in very interesting ways. When a drought is followed by a hailstorm, then locusts and other supernatural happenstances, the titular gentlemen arrives to offer these villagers a solution. The story itself is a treatise on conspicuous consumption, especially as it befalls a society that is unused to it. Attempting to transform this simple village into a haven for consumerism has disastrous consequences ...

Sunglasses - False Consciousness

In this picture, a pair of sunglasses is placed on a tablecloth, folded and pointing toward the viewer. These sunglasses are indicative of the Marxist thesis of false consciousness, wherein the capitalist machine creates a false sense of happiness and harmony between social classes. In reality, the rich control the poor but the poor do not quite know it. This harsh reality is overshadowed by materials and institutions that place importance on consumerism and capitalism as a means to accrue happiness. With the potential for wealth dangled in front of a public that does not see the truth, people can actively vote or work ...

The lecture, conducted by Dr. Dolapo Adeniji-Neil at the Adelphi University, gives us an insight into the problems experienced by internally displaced people in the contemporary world. The lecture material does not remind an excerpt from the history book about the events unfolding in a certain country, but makes the audience develop a sympathetic and respectful attitude to people who suffer from the situations that do not depend on them. Being internally displaced herself, the lecturer engages the audience into the topic with the help of real life stories that sound truly terrifying for people who do not face ...

Self-reliance

“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something, which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.” (Emerson) (Nina et al, 1094)
In this quote, Emerson urges people to remain themselves at all times. He insists on people obeying their natural instincts, trusting in their intrinsic abilities and doing the things that they can do best. He believes that by so doing everyone will be able to rely in him/herself.

It is approximated that about one billion people in the world today suffer from iron deficiency anemia (Sloan, Jordan, & Winikoff, 2002).

The Dead is an intriguing masterpiece written by James Joyce and bases his storyline in Ireland during Christmas.

The story of the dead encapsulates Gabriel Conroy as viewing himself superior to others due to his intellectual capabilities as ...

“Burnt Norton” by T.S. Eliot
This poem is told through a narrator speaking directly to an audience. He warns of living in the present and not to suffer the past or worry about the future, “If all time is eternally” present. To worry about what one has already done in the past, “Down the passage which we did not takeTowards the door we never opened will not help to live well in the present.” (Eliot) To spend one’s time think and planning for the future is also a waste, “Here is a place of disaffection Time before and time after”.

Introduction

The poem “To be of use” by Mercy Piercy had the theme of hard work. The idea that the poet conveyed was premised on how people should work hard because it is rewarding and satisfying. The poem talks about the sacrifice that people make so that there is food and that people remain happy. Those who work hard have a tendency of being loved and please everybody because they notice the void that would be present if the work is not done. They then enjoy the benefits of their sweat, and the poem observes that it is a good feeling. Moreover, ...

Introduction

Literature, besides being a form of art used for expression, preserves customs, morals, and cultural ideals. The written word gives people a deeper context of the lives and livelihoods of people, places, and events (Kronick, 23). Literature is the best way in which history has been and will continue to be passed on from one generation to another. Each generation adds its experiences to literary accounts and passes on to the next one. For instance, people can learn and imagine, with accuracy, as much about the life and times of William Shakespeare by interacting with his literature and that of ancient ...

First of all, Marcus Garvey convinced his followers the primary need of black people was the formation of their own nation. He called it “Back to Africa” movement. Garvey encouraged the descendants of black slaves to return to their historic motherland (Sewell, “The architect of a world of free minds”).

The black diaspora did not have any possibility to fully participate in the social and political life of the West. Such a situation was generated ...

Intercultural Friendship

Introduction
Scholars and academicians have paid little interest to intercultural friendships in spite of their obvious magnitude and regularity in the continuously expanding multicultural world. Intercultural friendships symbolize a close linkage between interpersonal and cultural dimensions of communication systems. The hardships involved in sorting them out might be one explanation why they attract so little interest from researchers. In recent times, it has become generally acknowledged that cultural diversity in the backgrounds of communicators contributes to differences in the patterns of communication behavior. This has made several researchers studying intercultural communication to make the assumption that it is a distinctive ...
