Analysis Of The Form Of Communication Between Lady Gaga

According to Mary Eberstadt, "contemporary adolescent popular music, especially the subgenres of heavy metal and hip-hop/rap, is uniquely degraded – and degrading – by the standards of previous generations." When compering music in the past and today, it is important to compere musical lyric too. Modern music is more aggressive and coarser than old music. Contemporary lyrics describe misogyny, violence, suicide, sexual exploitation, children abuse and other bad things. Mary Eberstadt explains the changes in musical lyric as a result of changes in society. Nowadays, music is not censored. In her essay "Eminem is Right," Eberstadt wrote about how Eminem is right in his songs because he understands the current family crisis that millions children

There are many struggles facing humanity at the moment of which have been greatly improved by the use of technology. “To Siri, with Love” is one such struggle. Telling the story of a woman and her son’s struggle with autism, and how the iPhone series’ “Siri” has helped this boy to better cope with his autism in ways never seen before.

After his opening statements, Brooks begins to explain his point of view concerning each gender’s “well-known” pleasure in literature. He describes that men tend to enjoy books about isolation while women prefer books concerning people’s relationships with one another. While it is positive to point out the differences each gender portrays, Brooks’ presents them in a way that offends. He relies heavily on the stereotypes of society as a whole, and the weaving of gender in society. In a study conducted by two scientists, Laia Beclares and Naomi Priest, it was found that the stereotypical comments made in public has a significant effect on the actions of an individual, both negative and positive. It is stated that “Stereotype threat posits that awareness of a social stereotype that reflects negatively on one's social group can negatively affect the performance of group members” (13). This refutes the points made in Brooks’ essay concerning the many aspects gender plays in society. Many might say this is to do with that fact that biological factors interfere with

Stereotypes are assumptions made about a group and its member but stereotypes sometimes have a slight truth in it. Stereotypes are not just produced out of the blue and Staples’ understands that. People have their opinions about others; those opinions come from somewhere, either an experience or something they heard before, than these opinions lead to stereotyping. Appearances have a lot to do with assumptions that are made about people. Therefore towards the end of his essay, Staples’ states, “I whistle melodies from Beethoven and Vivaldi and the more popular classical composers. Even steely New Yorkers hunching toward nighttime destinations seem to relax and occasionally they even join in the time” (2). His actions allow people to assume the opposite of what they would assume if he was not singing classical composers. People assume only educated people would know about classical songs, therefore Staples’ found a way to make fewer people if not all, to stop stereotyping him as someone he is not. If he did not use this approach, he would remain to be stereotyped as most black males are. This is persuasive because although he changed and began singing melodies, he shows everyone that he is better than what they would have assumed about him if he was not singing those melodies. Staples’ reminds us to be receptive because people do judge based on appearances as well as actions. If someone wants another person to stop profiling

Objectification includes the perception that individuals can be treated as objects or tools. For instance, social media like the different social networking sites and other forms of media like commercials, and reality television treat women as objects to be used, for example to sell cars, to advertise different merchandise, even food. In Sabrina Rubin Erdely’s article “Kiki Kannibal: The Girl Who Played with Fire”, Erdely explains the drawbacks of creating an online image by focusing on the tough and harsh treatment that Kiki faced over the internet. In Rachel Kadish’s article “Who Is This Man, and Why Is He Screaming?” she states her concern in that “there is something dehumanizing in the spectacle of a young man’s face being carried on the wind like dust” as she debates the uncontainable spread of her cousin’s image. Finally, in her article “Ghetto Bitches, China Dolls, and Cha Cha Divas”, Jennifer Pozner reveals the ways in which she thinks reality television stars are manipulated and edited into extremely typecast images in a way that

Popular culture is often a reflection of society; both literature and the media have the capacity to cement ideas in the minds of readers and viewers. In many cases, the notions and stories glorified by the media refrain from sharing a true depiction of society and are narrow-minded in their focus. Recently, the feminist movement has denounced popular culture for its ignorance, fighting for a more realistic portrait to be painted by those with the power to reach millions. Specifically, both Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “The Danger of a Single Story” share how the classic gender stereotypes seen in popular culture are unable to capture the full spectrum of stories that define society, and are limiting in their portrayals of women. Moreover, both authors share personal stories, reference prominent world figures, and cite relevant statistics in their works. Therefore, in both Bad Feminist and “The Danger of a Single Story”, Roxane Gay and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie appeal to readers pathos, logos, and ethos in order to construct the argument that the single story of women in popular culture is stereotypical and restrictive.

With a complete dissection and annotation of The Slenderman Stabbing Shows Girls Will Be Girls, Too, we must look back at what we concluded and absolutely understand what was stated and how the choices made by the author can promote or obstruct the article in anyway. Continuing, we are able to witness a multitude of used techniques, creating depth to a possibly shallow article. The purpose, reasoning, and word choice are only a few examples of how the author can amplify a message in order to properly and efficiently communicate a meaning behind what might simply be seen typed on a paper. Multiple techniques have been used throughout the article and discussion should a will be a deep thought of literary meaning.

The author states, by using Miller’s work on The Anatomy of Disgust, that figures within a social class are given a stereotypical character, and become animated figures within the media - for example, Tyler states that figures within the media ‘the toff, the yuppie, the public school boy, the suburban wife, the flat-capped working man, the gypsy, the chav’ are portrayed in ‘emotive ways’ which are communicated stereotypically depending on background and

Claudia Bobadilla English 101S Professor Manukyan November,4 2014 Essay #2 Battle of the Sexes As it mainly is, women are known to be loving and caring while men are known to be the strong and dominant ones. These roles are seen everywhere, whether it is on television shows, music, or advertisements, there is a clear expectation from society although it has a twist to it. Women and men’s characteristics are put into a different perspectives and seeing this from that point view, we tend to copy what we see, but keeping in mind that not all us do that. We then see this as a harmless act because it can be put so easily into the media.

2. How would you describe the tone of the author throughout her article? In the boxes below, list at least three words or phrases from the article that reveal the author’s tone. (8 points)

This challenge considers that the various situations the individual faces help shape character, which means that an individual’s character does not remain stagnant, but the individual’s perception of society does. Lady Gaga’s personal story debases such challenge. In 2014, Lady Gaga revealed that she had been raped at the age of nineteen. Such a dramatic event, shaped her character as she had now become a victim of sexual abuse, and thus changed the way she saw the world. Lady Gaga is twenty-nine today, ten years after the occurrence of her abuse. Based on the challenge to the narrator’s assertion, what happened to Lady Gaga would have had no effect on the way she saw the world; her perception of the world would have remained definitive. But, as was the case with Mr. Dimmesdale, Gaga’s character, as a victim, has shaped and continues to shape how she lives life and how she sees the world. Lady Gaga’s character certainly defined her perceptions of reality, as since the moment of her tragic ordeal, Gaga has applied this aspect of her character to her career, the same way Dimmesdale applied his character to his profession in the Gospel. With songs like Swine, Til It Happens To You, and her contribution to the sexual abuse documentary The Hunting Ground, it is evident that Gaga’s character, as a victim of sexual abuse

The tone is questioning, and informative. The tone can mostly be summed up with this sentence “Why do they feel less welcome on Wikipedia?” I think sums up the tone because, the author is asking a question and implying that they (women) feel less welcome on Wikipedia. Tone is used effectively in this article and the tone used is the best fit for this article. This is because this article is trying educate people on a problem and inspire people to fix it. While this article is making an argument, that women don’t feel welcome on Wikipedia, it’s not trying to refute another argument.

It only takes a second to attach a strong feeling or idea to a character in a movie, advertisement, or video game. Many characterization used are based on the assumed stereotypes, and are usually one-dimensional characters. Typically, these characterizations usually come from inherited family values, education, and the media. While stereotypes existed long before mass media, the media machine certainly helped to accelerate the cultural growth of all kinds of stereotypes. It is beyond this paper to answer why magazines employ these gender stereotypes, instead this research is designed to analyze

First, I would like to say that P.W. Singer's overall verbal communication with his audience does his meet his objective. He does not dumb down the information but does provide examples that would relate mostly with what he is saying. Singer, vocal techniques are very effective when giving his speech. He speaks at a smooth and even rate, with pauses longer enough so that his audience may comprehend the information. he also speaks at an appropriate volume throughout is speech although it seemed as if he spoke in a monotone voice. He does not have trouble with pronunciation at all, neither with articulation. Also when he would mention an acronym such as an IED he went on to explain what it stands for which is an improvised explosive device. Over
