Kenon Breazeale’s argument in his text begins by touching on how Esquire would place certain articles in their magazine in hopes of attracting the male consumer. In order to do this, Breazeale claims that the magazine did so by the “simultaneous exploitation and denial of the feminine” (Breazeale 72). In that way, the magazine

When looking at each of the articles presented, there are defining factors that allow researchers to determine whether or not it is a scholarly or popular resource. Of the two articles, one can assert that the USA Today Article is a popular source and the article by Baker and Algorta (2016) is a scholarly source. Each of these sources has their advantages and disadvantages due to the stylistic devices employed by the writers.

I have been applying to my life transculturation since I moved to Miami, I learned to adjust to the new culture around me and I even adopted some of the new culture believes in to my life.

Right of the bat, the 1950s saw magazine and publishing companies facing an exponential growth in popularity.

Featherstone looks down on publications that emphasize most of their print on Fashion, relationships and celebrities and advocates for magazines that stimulate intellectual growth, promote a healthy body image and include diversity. As an active journalist, columnist and activist, Liza Featherstone makes a good point in her article all while using most abundantly three rhetorical tools: logos, ethos and pathos that she wove into a studied text organization and a simple writing style. It is through ethos that Featherstone does a great job at defending her viewpoint, because her argument lacks a lot

“The Atlantic Monthly” is a Bostonian publication that centered on politics, literature, science and the arts. While these topics are not reserved for our society’s elite so much these days, it was much more so back then and the creators of the magazine definitely thought of themselves as part of our nation’s cultural elite. Even to this day, at least some of the staff at “The Atlantic” feel this way. Managing editor, Cullen Murphy gave a presentation and presented its founders like this;

There are a lot of excellent significant landmarks that can be commemorated by a coin by the colonial Williamsburg foundation; but here are the four structures that are worthy of being commemorated: The Bruton Parish Church, the Capitol, the Governor's Palace, and the Magazine. Commemorate means to honor a certain place or a person. All these structures are important, but the most significant structure to commemorate is clearly the Magazine. According to my research, the Magazine is the best choice because it succeeds all of the goals it has to meet, it has a lot of historical significance, it is relevant to citizens today, and it has a connection to the mission statement “The future may learn from the past.”. The paragraphs below will explain

The Young Ladies Journal, (1864-1920) was the first successful magazine directed toward young females. The advances of the Victorian women’s movement can be seen in the depiction of girlhood defined in pages of magazines such as “The Young Ladies Journal”. Although still in training to be a wife and a mother, late Victorian woman are seen as able to consider work opportunities, university education and sport as an option to their pre-marital years. Butte, known for its metropolitan style, was no stranger to the powerful, young, and independent women as seen with what many consider the world’s first flapper, Butte’s Mary MacLane.

As time changes, so to do the writings and documentations of cultures who experience change with it. Even in just the medical field, author Britt-Louise Gunnarsson examines the growing differences in scientific, research articles from the 1790’s to around the 1980’s. She discusses the growing divergence of the languages, structures, and methods used to document medical research from the past three hundred years to today. Though her writing is dense and at times a challenge to digest, overall her writing effectively demonstrates her thorough analysis in the material and her organization well supports her claims. Her use of examples led me to agree with her in how medical journals have become more formal, with “more fact-listing; more references;

For this research, the unit of observation are magazines as obviously will be making my observations in magazines. What are the reasons for choosing this medium? Convenience, easy to secure, and also it is quite easy to analyse compared to other mediums.

Though, there are criteria that are not important to me such as the genre (men’s and women’s magazine) and also, the magazines will not be filtered in terms of their release date

Dave Parry presents a more suitable definition for digital humanities opposed to the other two. His definition of DH is to view the digital humanities as new approaches of scholarship, as modifications in not the tools in humanistic studies, but in the scholarship itself.

Rather, the author wants a more significant role for the digital humanities than being a way of analyzing text faster.
