Gun Control Portrayal Analysis

to my findings and analysis, there are two main ways the issue of gun controlled is framed. One, gun control is depicted through a constitutional frame that represents the problem as an issue involving constitutional claims to support less strict gun laws and second, gun control is represented through the lens as a public health frame where the issue is seen as focusing on health and safety risks to society. Figure 2 (shown above) illustrates a comprehensive numerical analysis of how articles in

Access & Obsession Guns & Mass Shootings News coverage reported that Adam and his family always had guns in their home. His family would regularly go to local shooting ranges for leisure. Lanza's parents separated in 2001 when he was 9 years old and lived with his mother. Adam's mother had a pistol permit and would take Adam to National Rifle Association rifle courses. She had a big influence on his obsession and access to guns. All of the guns and ammunition from the shooting scene and his home

The proposal to the problem focus on mass shootings specifically, not gun violence in general, although the potential solutions to mass shootings would do much to prevent gun violence as a whole. Mass shootings represent a mere 2% of gun-related deaths, yet the sheer horror, shock, and scale of carnage tend to capture the public’s attention so much more so than the typical shooting homicide or suicide, which are seemingly ubiquitous in news reports these days. The big issue with solving the problem

by French critics when, as Paul Schrader described, “noticed the new mood of cynicism, pessimism, and, darkness that had crept into the American cinema” (Schrader, 265). Indeed, films like Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity (1944) and Joseph H. Lewis’ Gun Crazy (1950) explored themes of fatalism and nihilism (among others), all the while making use of stylistic—expressionist-inspired lighting, stylized framing, use of shadows—to enhance them. As dark as these films could be, almost laughably so when

The history of American Slavery has been recounted by many scholars, taking into account different perspectives. During the 1850’s an abolitionist movement began, gaining momentum to pass anti-slavery legislation. Slave owners concerned about the growing movement, decided to take the matter into their own hands and fight for their property rights. Now as historians look back and analyse slavery, many different ideologies are constituted. While the depiction of philosophy in history is a way to analyzing

obtain a gun legally. Introduction Gun control or Gun freedom has been an important debate in the American history. The proponents of Gun freedom use the 2nd amendment to indicate how the constitution protects the right of every citizen to own a gun. The opponents on the other hand question this interpretation of the 2nd amendment or call for a change in constitution if that is what it takes to make American societies safer. This group believes that this interpretation used by pro-guns lobbies

oppression and the patriarchy of the time. The first hurdle in comparing the works of Dickinson and Gilman is examining the superficial features of womanhood in their pieces. In Emily Dickinson’s “764” or, as it is also known: “My Life had stood- a Loaded Gun”, the main superficial features of womanhood are somewhat rudimentary and predictable. Women are merely tools, to be used by men but destined to remain useless otherwise. They are left and forgotten “In Corners-“ (Dickinson 1211) without a man to take

are both developed through four main literary devices. In the story, the narrator is put into what is potentially a life or death situation and it is at this point that he becomes aware that one is never really in full control of his or her own life. Throughout this literary analysis I will discuss the plot and theme of the story in terms of how Wolff uses setting, tone, characterization, and symbolism to enhance both the theme and the plot. Before discussing the four key literary elements used by

It’s impossible to properly dissect the portrayal of queer stories in Rebel Without a Cause without talking about the biggest form of cinematic censorship at the time of the movie release: The Hay’s Code. Films were highly censored ever since the birth of the industry. During the Great Depression, homosexuality was seen as a threat to masculinity especially because men were having a more difficult time being breadwinners (Mislak). Throughout history, the rules only got stricter and positive depictions

In his 1990 literary article “The Snake Warriors-Sons of the Tiger’s Teeth” Neil Whitehead criticizes the shallow methods of data collection and analysis used to understand the mainland Carib people of what is now Venezuela and Guyana. To correct this he provides a more detailed look into the tactics and social significance of war in these cultures as well as the impact European intrusion had on the stablished practices. Due to consistent foreign harassment and aggression Whitehead notes that the
