In ‘Clint Smith: How to raise a black son in America’ racial profiling is a major tent of prejudice and for many growing up the idea that people of a particular race are not as privileged as others is what upholds the prejudicial culture. ‘In Jimmy Carter: Why I believe the mistreatment of women is the number one human rights abuse’ the argument presented is that prejudice is a creation of humans in which they set laws that undermine and enslave members of a particular group. In particular, women and the poor are subjected to laws because men and ...

Did this clip remind you of other stereotypes, both good and bad, your daily experience with the members of these groups vs. the stereotypes of these groups?

Robert Thurman. We Can Be Buddhas. In this video, the American Buddhist scholar previously ordained by Dalai Lama speaks about the true meaning of ‘enlightenment’ and its connection with ‘suffering.’ First, he begins his explanation by drawing out references from the Vimalakirti Sutra. From the ancient texts, the Buddha explains that sufferings of the mankind come from the fact that they do not have compassion and contentment. The lack of these two disrupts the harmonious balance of life on the Earth. Such path when taken will only lead to more sufferings of the other which can be fatal to ...

A zero sum game is the one in which the gain of one player comes at the expense and is exactly equal to the loss of the other player. The Nash equilibrium is a situation in which each player chooses an optimal strategy given the strategy chosen by the other player. In this game where there ...

The Little Rock Nine certainly made history in the U.S in regard to the civil rights movements. Their bravery in rising against racial segregation in public institutions certainly set a precedent. The Little Rock Nine was made up of nine African-American students. They made efforts to desegregate their school, the Little Rock High School. Certainly, their efforts were by no means extraordinary since many other African-Americans were also making significant strides in the struggle for equality in the civil rights movement.

[Economics] As everyone knows, oil is considered to be a raw material. Though there are some unknown oil stocks, oil as well as other minerals is an exhaustive type of resource. Moreover, no matter what scientists say, or give any predictions, in the nearest future we will run out of this mineral. That is one of the reasons why we can observe the price gradually raising now. But to be honest, by 2020 this factor will not influence significantly the price of oil. The explanation to this is because the vast majority of world’s oil stocks have already ...

For Saussure (67), the linguistic sign is constructed through the relationship of two other notions: the signifier and the signified. The arbitrariness of this relationship is what advertisers take advantage of in subliminally showing a different meaning to their advertisements. The same can be seen in the advertisements for Axe’s Excite and Dove’s Go Sleeveless deodorants. Whereas the former’s Even Angels Will Fall ad conforms to the fantasies that men have regarding their masculinity, Dove’s commercial conforms to the supposed liberation of women by going sleeveless. Advertisers subliminally change this meaning by associating a different ...

My perception of disaster has been of course influenced to a considerable extent by film and movies portrayals. Firstly, films give me the perception that, upon the strikes of disaster, people behave in erratic manner. The Dante’s Peak, for instance, in its relay of the story of the Northwestern US volcanic eruption, when community leaders held a meeting in efforts to calm the public following several deaths due to dangerous volcanic gasses’ emissions, an earthquake happens and as a result, the gathering population panic. People ran haphazardly, trucks and cars ran into each other, since the occupants were ...

Verbal Operants

Inert your name Summary of Observations Scotty is frustrated when he does not get the items he wants from the table. He is even more frustrated when the lady restrains him and prompts him to vocalize what he wants. This is evident through the challenging behavior where he hits himself on the head with his hand.

Mands are used at least twelve times ...

Firstly it must be said that it was most intriguing to learn that the young person’s guide to orchestra has successfully introduced hundreds of thousands of children to classical music. In saying so, from carefully listening to each variation individually and carefully I have seemingly noticed that the Woodwinds (Variations 1-4) specifically Variation 4 had the quietest approach. The variation consisted of Bassoons punctuated by strings, had it not been for the stringed accompaniment, I believe that it would be rather difficult for the depth-sounded bassoon to make a large impact. However when alongside the other accompaniments, it ...

As a branch of linguistics, rhetoric widely involves all areas of the humanities and social science. And rhetoric with the moderate slogan is a hot topic in today's study of advertising language art. (Shimizu, Koichi, 2003) This paper analyzes the relationship between advertisement and language, and then discusses the application of all kinds of rhetoric in advertising language, showing the important role of rhetoric in advertising. Advertisements often rhetorically use the method of words, sentence patterns, and various figures of speech. This paper offers an assiduous rhetorical analysis of two real-life advertisements, together with a comparison and contrast. It ...

Effective product promotional campaigns have a positive impact on the consumers’ preferences for the product.

W. Edwards Deming was one among the various management consultants sent by the Unites States government to ameliorate the production quality standards in the war torn Japanese economy.

The years after the Second World War are considered to be ill-fated for the theatre arts. However, over the course of time, interests as well as endeavors were carried towards undiscovered subjects and to those which are not openly acknowledged or displayed in the traditionally established forms and uses as well. Therefore, in gradual mode, without any ostentatious manifestation, another type of theatre appeared. In the 50s it was obtruded upon large audiences, which consisted of students and academics searching for something neoteric. Absurdism is regarded as philosophical standpoint which asserts that the aspirations of humanity to detect meaning ...

Music videos have always been criticized for having huge amount of sexual content, especially to those of the rock videos by the start of the 21st century. It started to go enormous on the sexual side sometime in the 1970s, until it burst in the 1980s and went wild. By the 1990s, almost every music video had sexual content. In these videos, women were being portrayed as sexual objects, with stereotypical attitudes between genders, and the erotic content that, they say, captured the heart of the adolescents. This was seen in the music videos of two rock groups of ...

When I play tennis, my body moves with agility and balance on the court. It is worth noting that tennis is not merely an upper-body sport aimed at hitting the ball back over the net. Since a sharp reaction to a ball is required, my feet never stop moving. In tennis, the majority of movements are side to side, and apparently, motor skills are vital. By the way, shoulders do not tilt on volleys and groundstrokes, as the racquet arm maintains balance. A combination of horizontal and vertical movements takes place during the tennis serve, whereas rather smaller joint ...

Ideology and ideograph commonly in political discourse are concepts that are mostly used to have support for political positions. The words used in such cases do not have meanings that are clear but then they are used to bring out the impression of clear meaning.

When human beings are put together they think and behave differently than when they are separated from each other (Mc Gee p.120). Collective ...

The idea behind deconstructing skills is to break down unusually large concepts into smaller ideas so that they are simplified and seem less intimidating. When trying to learn a new skill, it is necessary to deconstruct it in order to know the specifics that matter. For instance, when comes to a skill such as cooking, it consists of several smaller chunks of skills which form the whole idea of cooking. In other words, cooking involves smaller skills such as clean up, preparation, shopping, and the actual cooking.

With respect to the You Tube clip, what is the “nature of expectation” being discussed in the video? What are some of the misconceptions that are highlighted? What are the implications of such misconceptions?

The You Tube Video is a clear show of the misconceptions that the society in general harbors about the physically disadvantaged individuals. Like Cashan, I think the first misconception highlighted about the plight of disabled people is their dependency. The second misconception that I noticed, the society places on disabled people, is that physically disadvantaged people have a sexual life crisis. Meaning, they are unable to fulfill their sexual desires. The third misconception that I have seen in this particular clip is that they are different in terms of work related issues. In this world, a person must earn some income to ...
