THE ‘PROBLEM’

While the transgendered community has received a significant increase in visibility and representation in television in recent years, the trend is only just beginning. To date, few trans characters are portrayed as “dynamic” in media, with most media having a cisgendered (skewing toward people whose biological gender matches their identity) bias (Conrad 1). There is an increasing population of trans people who wish to have greater representation in their media, and the outlook is currently positive given the greater tolerance of LGBT people in mainstream American culture (Wellborn 66). However, this process is merely beginning.

Fine arts can be described as the classical form of art that is mostly considered, proper as well as traditional. It is an art that is done mostly for the purpose of aesthetics. However through time, changes have occurred as a result of industrialization and the development of societies in the post-industrial era. These changes have been characterized by aspects such as a formal organization of cultural goods that has made fine art products more market-based as opposed to their previous nature that was more traditional.

The absence of the Russian-Ukrainian agreements on gas supplies and its conditions of transit interrupted the supply of hydrocarbons from Russia to Europe through ...

Main Argument of the Readings

Silvia Federici, Chandra Mohanty and Alicia Muszynski discussed in their respective articles the sociological facet of the inferiority perceived upon women. “Insatiable sexuality”, in the case of Federici, socioeconomic differences for Mohanty and race-gender stratification noted by Muszynski all point to reasons why women, under different classifications, receive unfair treatment. The three articles stand united in explaining that women received discrimination because of their biological sex and that it is a demeaning factor when added with other condescending characteristics such as socioeconomic conditions and race.

Stimuli-response method

This model is based on the theory of stimuli and response; where the stimuli elicit the desired response in the consumer. In this case, the marketer must figure out which items the consumer needs and do their best to figure out how to provide the product and make it attractive enough for the consumer to desire and buy it. This model starts with the marketer rather than the consumer; it assumes that the consumer does not know what he or she needs and has to be stimulated using a product or an appropriate marketing strategy (Kotler and Armstrong, 207).

In addition, the 2001 book, “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America” analyzes how individuals survive on minimum paying jobs.

But considering the fact that people with diverse background are activating in the same economy, this implies that they are competing for the same employment opportunities, the same housing ...

CLOUDS AND INTELLECTUAL THUGGERY

Aristophanes’ cloud is a blatant attack on the sophists and a personal attack on Socrates. The sophists were a class of people who had a revolutionary frame of thought which did not conform to the social norms of their time. They believed in arguing about the validity of everything and using their cunningness and mental prowess to triumph in an argument. Aristophanes’ cloud shows how the teachings of the sophists at the Thoughtery went against common social convention of the time. The play focuses on the activities of the sophists to paint them in their true colors as people who went against social ...
