Pornography is, ironically, one of the messier topics related to women and gender issues to discuss; the existence of pornography has a tendency to divide those within the gender studies community. Is it a symbol of the objectifying, male-dominated, sex-focused culture in which we live, or is it an opportunity for women to express their sexuality and take ownership of their bodies? Pornography is a much more diverse industry than one might expect, with varying companies and individuals creating and distributing it in different ways, making it a mistake to discuss porn as a monolith. Instead, the complex intersection ...

Arguably, both Mainstream and Independent cinema in the United States have had a profound effect on the nation’s entire cinema and film industry since the beginning of the 20th century. It is coherent to note that since the 1920s, the film industry in America has had remarkable progress and has grossed more money annually than any other country. There are numerous changes in film production since its initiation in the early 1920s to date. Notably, independent and mainstream films have had similar changes in stylistic traits and have over the years gone a step further to broaden their ...

In the United States of America, the links between journalism and public reaction easily trace back to 1788 when the Independent Journal and The New York Packet published the original essays for the Federalist Papers serially, giving free rein to public commentary on the issues that were later to become The Bill of Rights. . The technology of the day that made that possible was the moving type printing press and improved delivery systems that brought the papers out to the public on a regular basis. Radio brought the news every day into peoples’ homes. However, public reaction to news ...

A Research Project Presented in Partial Fulfillment Master of Education Regis University ABSTRACT Over the past decades, there has been a significant shift in the perceived best practices in the field of special education. While the paradigm for special education, at one time, involved removing students with special needs from the classroom to receive specialized instruction from specifically trained practitioners, the social stigma and lack of academic progress pushed administrators to move toward a more inclusive philosophy of education. A meta-synthesis was performed of past quantitative and qualitative studies to determine what type of structure will best benefit special ...

Indigenous Midwifery Practices in Canada

Introduction The indigenous people of Canada are the initial occupants of the present day Canada. They include the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The indigenous people had a solid cultural health infrastructure even before the advent of modern medical system (Waldram, Herring & Young, 2000). The cultural health system had elements like midwifery, surgery, diagnosis and prescription principles. However, by the transition of the cultural health systems through periods of colonial influence, they have been significantly diluted. The indigenous body of beliefs about healthcare, wellbeing, spirituality and physical health, were considered deficient and substandard to the colonial health systems ( ...

I. INTRODUCTION TO SUBCULTURES: CONSUMPTION OF IDENTITY Subcultures are, at their core, a way for people to differentiate themselves from the culture that they are surrounded by. These subcultures can take a variety of different forms, from the relatively innocuous to the highly deviant-- however, one thing that they all share is the drive to differentiate themselves from the larger society to which they belong. Commonly, the majority culture has been considered to be the culture that accepts widely-held norms and beliefs and consumes the related products, while subcultures have been seen by sociologists and businesspeople alike as members ...

Throughout history, sections of the community in many parts of the world have adopted some subcultures quite unique to the common culture, and sometimes very controversial. Some of these subcultures actually evolve to develop into relatively new cultures, religions and beliefs, while others are short lived but leave some marks in the community. An example of such subcultures includes the hippies, punks and old religions (Falk and Falk 57). A comparison of these subcultures in their early development and their modern equivalent has been discussed in detail. Although the earlier versions of these subcultures share some common features with ...

Introduction

There is nothing called objective viewpoint. Media which plays a big role in giving information on the world often is accused of showing bias towards a particular ideology or a particular social group or a particular party. Though a journalist tries to be objective in his viewpoint by following two methods, 1) showing fairness to those associated with the news and 2) a professional approach to gathering information that seeks completeness, accuracy and fairness, he often fails to reach the ethical heights just like anyone involved in the profession of politics (The Rhetorica Network). Since reporting of news is ...

The media plays a vital role in the dissemination of information within the society. The relaying of information plays a critical role for social movements that are keen on spreading their ideologies and objectives. This illustrates why the activists within the US National labor union adopted mass protests as a core way of attracting the media’s attention. Since time immemorial protests have been the most effective kind of ways of attaining both social and media attention. Through protests televised or reported on the media, the US National Labor activities managed to be highlight their issues to a greater ...

Little Mermaid

Late eighties was a decade of immense transformations. This chunk of the time was a period during which the roles and perception of women in the mainstream society went through sheer changes (Buckland 178). The same mainstream thought of the society is reflected in the role of the princess depicted in Walt Disney’s animated musical fantasy film, “The Little Mermaid”. The character of the princess in the aforesaid fantasy film was played by Ariel, who is a young sixteen years old mermaid. Dissatisfied with her life in the water, she ...

THROUGHOUT THE DECADES

Relationship of Music Throughout the Decades Throughout the decades, music has seen a lot of changes. One thing that stayed the same is Rock. It was popular from the 60s all throughout the 2010s (Cox & Warner, 2004). It was the only genre to survive all five decades, and has constantly been reinvented. Many different artists saw their rise and fall throughout the decades; many have also made their comebacks in the 2000s. There are a couple of key artists that have made their name prominent in music history, changing the way people heard music (Cullen, 2001). The important eras ...

[Professor]

History as we know it is always written in the bird’s eye view. It is always in the perspective of the victors. Those who subjugated lands and people that include Christopher Columbus wrote heroic actions of expedition to save the wretch from damnation or to civilize the savages. Spain, Portugal and other conquistadores in the 13th to 18th century used Christianity in their search for gold, slaves and glory. Howard Zinn’s book entitled, “History is a Weapon” mentioned that the conquests of Spain and other powerful countries during the colonial era was written in history in ...

Imagine being in a wilderness, in an alien place, life all around you, life going on unhindered. Despite the abundance around you, you still can’t find something to feed on, cheer you or relate to. It is like the unlikely situation where all over sudden, your friends quit speaking in a language you understand. You can no longer understand what they say, nor can they you. The world can become a very lonely place in such circumstances; when you fail to fit, not of your own doing, but a cruel mix of fate and circumstances. This is the ...

SEX ON THE MEDIA LANDSCAPE

With this generation being at the boom of information technology, the media is buzzing with sexual content that has tantamount effects on the society in general. Teenagers remain the most affected group by indecent exposure of sexual activity in mainstream media (Huston, Wartella & Donnerstein, 1998; American Academy of Pediatrics, 1995). Nevertheless, some scholars and researchers have argued that display of educative sexual content on media may have immense benefits on enlightening the society; however the pertinent question arises as to whether mainstream media is displaying sexual content that is beneficial or harmful to the society. This paper will talk ...

Abstract

The society is continually experiencing emergence and development of new cultures and subcultures. New cultures mostly develop from the popular culture as some individuals embrace new perspectives regarding common beliefs and values. Cultural elements present means of expression and influential habits that individuals of a particular group or belief identify with. Various cultures and subcultures are presently identifiable in the present day social media. One of such subcultures common in the contemporary social media includes the American hipster culture. The paper focuses on this culture by evaluating it from diverse perspectives. This includes providing a background of the development ...

The immigrant families are considered inferior and uncivilized. The dominant race fails to embrace the diversity presented by the immigrant families. Particularly, the dominant race blames the immigrant families for various societal ills that are unrelated to their populations in certain geographical areas. For example, the society believes that the immigrant families have prompted economic recession and increased unemployment rates. Furthermore, the society believes that diversities in race, religion and language amid the mainstream group and the migrant subgroups result to cultural misunderstanding. In this respect, the mainstream citizens treat the immigrant families ruthlessly with hatred and discrimination as ...

Someone who has the initiative to organize a venture for taking benefit of an opportunity is an entrepreneur. He is a decision maker and his decisions involve what, how, and how much of products or services will be produced.

Entrepreneurship is one of the most important fields within several key sectors such as economics, finance, management, and law. However, even today and even with the recognition of the importance of entrepreneurship as a primary driving force of the “market”, there is very little consensus about how economics incorporates entrepreneurship into its overall theoretical framework. Hence, there is no single ...

At first sight there is no difference between queers and gays/lesbians. Gay or lesbian ...

Abstract

Conventional medicine or mainstream medicine, which is often called as allopathic medicine, is based on the Cartesian model of dualism that holds the view that the human body and the mind are two entities. On the contrary, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) views the human body and the mind as a single entity. Many mainstream therapies were once considered complementary until they were proven clinically effective through research. Currently, many mainstream practitioners are adopting CAM therapies to provide integrated or holistic care. The National Institutes of Health and National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NIH/NCCAM) have divided CAM ...

Background

The inclusion of learners with special needs is gradually becoming a major concern to various governments (Holt, 2004). With the enactment of the Disability Discrimination act of 1992 and changes in community perceptions towards individuals with disability in Australia, mainstream primary educational institutions have had to prioritize children with disabilities’ inclusion (Forbes, 2007). Holt (2004) gives a social model definition of disability as the disadvantage or restriction of activity resulting from contemporary social organization which takes either little or no account of individuals with physical impairments thereby excluding them from mainstream social activities. Generally, children are considered learning ...

Motown was founded in 1959 by Berry Gordy in Detroit, Michigan. The music that Gordy created and produced changed the sound of the American music. Motown introduced Americans to a new sound of popular music created by black singers and musicians. Gordy overcame many stereotypes and polished his performers to appeal to mainstream America, black and white. With spreading popularity of television it was imperative that music stars be visual appealing as well as have a good sound. The Motown sound and philosophy created in the 1960’s still has an enormous influence on the modern music industry.

The mainstream media (consisting of films, TV and print) shapes the manner in which people form their self-concept and interact with others. The media also helps to share the stories of people’s culture, and what people of other cultures can expect from them. However, many are the cases whereby the mainstream media helps to propagate some stereotypes. Stereotypes are unfounded beliefs, and the mainstream media helps to strengthen those beliefs through the use of characters performing stereotypical roles. A good case is the portrayal of Asian Americans in film and print media. The mainstream media still conveys the ...

Introduction

Context and Thesis Statement Although Western countries have issued acts to support students with special needs to be taught in normal schools, as part of the inclusive education program, schools are still reluctant in receiving students with different types of disabilities, facing various challenges that refer to the prestige of the school, to meeting inclusion standards and regular examinations in this purpose or to installing increased bureaucratic educational demands (Konza, 2008). Schools’ attitudes towards the children with special educational needs vary between aiming for an inclusive education and between maintaining the elitist standards, where inclusive education is not an ...

1) Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde's many poems, plays and novels poke subtle fun at the Victorian mainstream, addressing the faults and the problems inherent within that society. Many of his works deal with the decadence and beauty of the Victorian upper class, as well as how empty and duplicitous that society is. By painting detailed portraits of flawed and overly vain characters, he shows the Victorian aristocrat as someone nearly inhuman, and far from sympathetic. In many ways, it transcends the nature of the Victorian mainstream by holding a mirror up to it and pointing out its flaws, whether ...

The types of fiction created by writers sometimes appear to fall into endless categories; walking through a bookstore or browsing sites like Amazon for a new book to read demonstrates the variety of fiction written today. However, it is not so difficult to classify writers and the type of fiction they produce. Fiction writers fall into two groups, commercial writers and literary writers. The first major category of fiction writers are the commercial fiction writers. Commercial fiction writers “attract a broad audience” with their published pieces and a hallmark of commercial fiction is that it has an easily read ...

In sociological terms a counterculture is a cultural group or subculture whose values and norms run counter to those of the established mainstream cultural views. It is in short social and cultural patterns that strongly oppose popular mainstream culture (Ballantine and Roberts 2011). Those involved in the process or act of inventing or embracing counterculture are often in disagreement with the morality that mainstream society advances. Countercultures often develop out of disadvantaged and marginalized groups. They emerge out of conflict with established mainstream cultures. Their mission is to draw attention to particular disparities and prejudice inherent in society and ...

The Church of Latter-Day Saints-- sometimes called the “Mormon” church-- is an American sect of Christianity that became famous for its practice of plural marriage, or polygyny. Even today, certain sects of the Church of Latter-Day Saints (referred to hereafter as the LDS church or Mormon church) practice plural marriage, or, more specifically, polygyny: the plural marriage between one man and multiple wives (Land, Schippers). Before discussing the current Mormon policies on polygyny and plural marriage, however, it is important to understand the historical structure of polygyny in the Mormon church. Mormonism, as a religion, is quite a young ...

American Evangelicalism

Overview In United States, major religious transition occurred in the start of the twentieth century. More so, there were large numbers of American Protestants under the evangelical leadership. Apparently, in 1900s, there was massive stratification of evangelical denominations based on the doctrinal beliefs and practices. One side consisted of the mainstream Protestants who believed in the personal interpretation of evangelical doctrines. The fundamentalists introduced new beliefs and practices beyond the biblical teachings that provide more freedom of worship to the believers. Additionally, American Protestants applied contemporary factors into the practicability of the biblical doctrines. It is an idea to ...

Goths: Subcultures and Criminal activities

Oftentimes, adults view youths as problems that need to be managed, combing efforts and policies designed to limit drinking, curbing teenage pregnancies, and low self worth and medications to address depression and eating binges. It is a given that subcultures such as the Goths are usually attributed to youths, the sense of wariness and fear of not knowing, or not wanting to know, is ever present, and the fear that drives to ridicule or disparage is also ever present (Haenfler, 2013, p. 27). The Goth subculture can be understood as the interplay of the music, model and the ...

An excerpt from the main book Manufacturing Consent (Pantheon, 1988) indicates a recognition of the functions of the mass media to communicate messages and assist familiarize the populace with values and beliefs that will help integrate them into the society at large. This role, as pointed out in this excerpt, is not possible without ‘systemic propaganda’. Media is controlled monopolistically and censored for being politically incorrect whenever their reports are not in sync with the positions held by the elite, who are strategically positioned to decide how the society operates.

Introduction

With the evolution of the new communication technologies, political campaigns have been revolutionized in a way that even after politicians win elections, they continue in a ‘campaign mode’ during their governance. The continuous campaigning is aimed at gaining a political advantage in the following election (Heclo, 1999). The leaders are now able to reach the public in more effective and extensive ways through the internet, broadcasting medium, as well as old fashion printouts. This situation has been referred to as the ‘permanent campaign’. The phenomenon is witnessed in most countries of the world, including the United States of America. ...

Book Review: Rez Life by David Treuer

Introduction

The unemployment rate in Australia among the indigenous Australians is higher than the unemployment rate among the mainstream Australians. There are many reasons for this difference, and many of them have their source in the living conditions and lifestyle of the native Australians, which cannot be described as being anywhere near ideal. The difficult living conditions of native Australians promote socially detrimental behaviours such as alcoholism and child abuse. This paper explores the relationship between child abuse and the higher rates of unemployment among the native Australians. It seeks to identify whether the higher unemployment rates ...

Music and Sound Recording: popular music and protest songs.

1. My personal preference is to experience all things for myself, before passing judgement. The reason for this is that reviewers and critics are only people too and as such, their opinion is as subjective as my own. For the most part, critics are working on a mainstream basis: their opinion is one which they feel would best fit with most people’s expectations of a certain type of movie or album etc. For example, when Incubus released Morning View, many of their fans were ...

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.

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. Another aspect associated with these changes is the diversification of fine arts that ...

Since religion is an individual and institutional reality in the lives of most of the populace in the U.S., it is nothing unexpected that the teaching of religion gives a noteworthy connection to numerous women. This relationship of religion to women is perfectly fit to them as they address the problem of exploitation. Through writings, customs, teachings, and convention, religious groups and organizations pass on qualities and conviction frameworks to their individuals. Moreover, individuals frequently have a direct support or advising associations with religious pioneers who may give direction or guideline. Religious writings and teachings can serve as assets ...

There are a plethora of potential pitfalls associated with the legal protection of tattoos, although there have been cases around the world in which the issue of intellectual property (also referred to as IP henceforth) in which the owners and creators of certain tattoos have brought legal action as a result of the use or perceived misuse of the artwork (O’Connor, 2015).

Religion has been seen as disempowered and in decrease in the cutting edge world, its implications no more applicable inside the overwhelming mainstream perspective and institutional temples losing control of social life to common bodies (i.e., secularization, privatization). However religion (or secularization) may not be so static or bound together a marvel as awhile ago thought (this may be an outcome of advanced Western inclination, as, for instance, Talal Asad contends; of the (liberal) separation of social order, dividing the religious and the common, characterizing the previous as bound together conventions concerned with profound, private convictions, not handy, open ...
