There are so many examples of gender inequality not just through sport. Things such as the gender wage gap ignite huge debates and aggravate a lot of women in the work force. There are always answers from men saying things such as “it’s because the less paying jobs are more female dominated or stereotypically jobs for women” and that just fuel to the fire! Males are facetious and sexist towards women and don’t tend to hear our side of the argument before making their

In class we viewed documentary titled Girlhood, the film surrounded two teenage girls named Megan and Shanae. Both of the girls have been in the system for years, Megan has been in and out of juvenile detention centers and foster homes for years and is incarcerated this time for attacking one of the other youth at her foster home with a box cutter. Shanae was incarcerated at the tender age of 11 for stabbing a “friend” to death during a fight. The film focuses on getting to know the girls personalities, family history, the journey of their rehabilitation and overall how they ended up in the situations that they are currently in. It also captures the girls in a different light (their funny personalities, them being hopeful, intelligent, and just needing support) instead of just portraying them as juvenile criminals who were just terrible people.

If I was going to college next year I would want to have a personal class about sports and athletes. The video made Monsters University look like a good college. It looked like the students had a lot of freedom when it came to choosing classes and clubs .I think a lot of people should go here because of they much more choices. You could probably even create your own club if you don’t like the choices

Mean Girls is a movie directed by Mark Waters that came out in 2004, based on the self-help book “Queen Bees and Wannabes” written in 2002 by Rosalind Wiseman. Cady, a 16 years old home-schooled single child of zoologist parents, has been living 12 years in Africa due to her parents’ research before returning to the United States. Since Cady was not used to high school life, Janis and Damien help her understand the various existing cliques, mostly the Plastics led by Regina George of which she is warned of. One day, the famous exclusive clique invites her to sit with them at lunch and then go shopping. Still having remorse towards Regina for humiliating her, Janis uses Cady to infiltrate the Plastics and rune Regina’s life. While hanging with the Plastics, Cady learns about the Burn Book filled with malicious rumors, secrets and gossip about people in school. Throughout classes, she falls in love with Regina’s ex-boyfriend, Aaron, which does not please to Regina who steals him back by humiliating Cady. Cady then continues Janis’s plan: making her life miserable by separating her couple, destroying her beauty, and turning her friends against her. Cady starts changing her personality becoming more as Regina without even realising: she starts failing math class to catch Aaron’s attention, she focuses on her physical appearance and abandons Janis and Damien – her true friends – only to fit in. To fight back, Regina puts herself in the Burn Book to exclude herself from its creators and spreads its content, creating a riot calmed by Principal Duvall. Ms. Norbury, which according to Cady’s rumor sold drugs, makes the girls realize that all of them are guilty of hurting their peers. Each girl confesses, and Regina learns about the Janis’s plan. Cady decides to take full blame for the Burn Book. She returns to her old personality and joins as consequence the Mathletes, described as "social suicide". The epiphanic moment occurs while competing against a very unattractive girl: she realises that even if she made fun of the girl's appearance it would not stop the girl from beating her. At the Spring Fling dance, Cady is elected Spring Fling Queen which she declares meaningless since each girl is wonderful in their own way

A couple weeks ago my partner in crime, Emily Tantuccio, Facebook messaged me a link to Girls Behind the Rock Show’s So What contest. I was aware of the So What Festival but not too familiar with Girls Behind the Rock Show, so as any millennial I did some hardcore Googling. Its incredible to me to see so many woman working together to help other girls, this mantra is something that I wish was engrained to more aspects of our lives.

After watching the Carol Marcotte and Sally Biggs video, I decided to respond to the topic of budgeting to meet the needs of our students. Specifically, how we can validate what we say in one of our belief statements. That belief statement reads, “we believe that learning and living abroad facilitates a cosmopolitan world view” and as such, it is the desire of the school to have each student have an international travel experience. While the word “cosmopolitan” has become a running joke among our faculty conversations, the premise is that we are able to see beyond our rural campus and have a positive impact on the greater world.

The School House Rock video brought back memories of being a child watching it on T.V. Reminiscing aside, I believe that this video demonstrates multiculturalism. Grandma wears a pin that says “Kiss me I’m Irish”, which shows she is proud to be Irish but supports America by flying the American flag. I do not see anything negative about this video. Although this country was already inhabited by the American Indians, other countries came here and brought their culture with them. All over the United States, we celebrate holidays from other countries. For example St. Patrick’s Day is coming up. There are cultural festivals everywhere. Just in the vicinity I live in, there are Greek, Italian, and Polish festivals.

“Friends are a dime a dozen”, said someone whom I’m not aware of, but whoever it was must’ve had their fair-share of poor decisions when it came to selecting friends. However, they are right. Friends do come and go, some you feel relieved that they’d left and some you may want them to stay, but that’s just one reason why it’s become so important to choose your friends carefully.

The movie Mean Girls is a good representation of topics that were discussed in class this week. The plot of the movie is about a teenage girl who previously lived in Africa and was home schooled by her parents. Her family moved to Illinois, and for the first time she attended a public high school. During school she aligns herself with a group of girls classified as “the plastics.” Members of the group have certain norms that they must abide by and follow. For example, pink must be worn on Wednesdays, pony tails can only be worn once a week, and the only day track pants or jeans can be worn is Friday. The number of participants in the group is four, however the communication throughout this group is very ineffective. Throughout the movie there

Gender inequality has always been an issue for women in athletics. The Title IX bill took a long time to come into effect, but when it did, it wasn’t seriously followed. Many high schools had an unequal distribution of school funds for athletic facilities. Some high schools’ girls’ locker rooms had “nearly half the size of the men’s locker rooms”, if they had locker rooms at all (Bellford). Examples like this show how the bill helped women get more opportunities, but it still didn’t give them the same opportunities as men. The problem of equality of genders has always been an issue in America, after the Title IX bill got passed things got better for women and they were able to do what they wanted to do, but there was still a lot of room for improvement. The general preconceptions about

In terms of the level of structural context, many different sports and organizations play a role in developing gender roles. Many girls don’t play football, soccer, or basketball while wearing pink jerseys and little girls don’t run around with them. Boys will get down and dirty. This is true for dancing as well. When someone walks into a studio, he or she doesn’t see little boys dancing around in pink and purple tutus. Instead, little girls are doing jumps and turns. When the opposite gender is doing these things, they tend to stand out. The structure of girls and boy’s bodies are made differently which is why we see a difference between the two when they are playing the same exact sport. The concept of these games may be the same but the

In the film, “Girl Interrupted”, there was a variety of disorders illustrated. The movie took place primarily in a mental institution, Claymoore. Claymoore is an institution for mentally ill females with a variety of ages. Throughout the diversity of characters in the film many disorders such as personality disorders, pathological lying disorders, sociopathic disorders and depression disorders were portrayed. From my understanding all of these disorders were portrayed correctly within the film but might have been over exaggerated slightly.

In 1967, 19-year-old Susanna (Winona Ryder) feels that reality is becoming too dense, and is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. The doctor suggests to her parents that she be committed to the Claymore Hospital, and she spends the next 18 months struggling with her troubled psyche and the bizarre world of the institution. Susanna bonds with several other patients, including Lisa (Angelina Jolie), Polly (Elizabeth Moss), and Georgina (Clea DuVall). As she realizes that Lisa is potentially dangerous and truly needs help, Susanna begins to work harder with her psychiatrist (Vanessa Redgrave) and the nurse on the ward (Whoopi Goldberg). But Susanna soon learns that getting out of the hospital is not as easy as getting in. Girl, Interrupted was based on the autobiography of Susanna Kayson, (which was released April 19th 1994) who did spend a year-and-a-half in the McLean Psychiatric Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts.
