Imagine a world where everyone was accepted, no matter where they came from. It’s a dream world, am I right? Everyone has to come up in the world, and make their own place for themselves.

So, in this series, he and his family work hard to live the American dream.

Summer Heights High is an Australian mockumentary series which uses satirical devices to depict the public school system, and its teachers and students in a negative light. The creator, Chris Lilley, portrays these subjects using stereotypes, irony, and hyperbole. The show focuses much attention on the main three characters; Hellen "Mr G." Gregson, an overenthusiastic high school drama teacher; Ja'mie King, a teenage girl doing an exchange programme from a private school to a public school; and Jonah Takalua, a Tongan troublemaker. These characters are all represented in a very exaggerated, stereotypical way, throughout the series.

“The Golden Girls” is an iconic television show set in 1980’s Miami that not only provides insight to aging in America through humor, but sometimes lectures the viewer on social topics with an obvious liberal agenda. Even though I have probably viewed every episode hundreds of times over the past thirty years, I still find myself eager to watch it every night at bedtime to end the stresses of the day on a happy note. I do not always agree with the opinions expressed by the characters or the outcome of a particular episode. However, I still come back for more each night because most episodes end on a happy note, and that allows me to drift into sleep with a little less stress on my mind.

This genre is typically modern, perky and upbeat, but the common narrative in all of them is that it features a woman who is strong and she overcomes adversity to reach her goals. There is also a message of empowerment that also struggles with a romantic predicament and using comedy to poke fun at the male characters. Industries are still producing soppy romantic comedies for the female audience but the divide between the standard chick flick and romantic comedy is slowly disappearing. Similarly to the beginning of this essay it is evident that institutions are moving in the direction of women’s place in culture in relation to this film genre; women are usually shown as the super power since they are made to appeal to the female audience. However

Have you ever been walked down the street and had a random stranger whistle or comment about your sexual features? If so then you have experienced what many would call cat-calling. Cat-calling is when a person yells or whistles to attract attention from another person in the hopes of achieving their goals. The gender that experiences this form of harassment the most are women. For the example the Onion did a satirical article on how weird it felt for Caitlin Levy when she was not harassed.

One of the many social groups in charlotte that exists are the southern coalition for social justice,freedom

I recognize that, even coming from a father of two preteen daughters, that headline might sound alarmist, so let me elaborate—the Disney Channel and its prime competitor, Nickelodeon's Teen Nick, are a pox upon our tween nation, corrosive forces that impart more awful messages than any of Disney's retrograde princess films (and attendant merchandising).

Directed and written by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, Time of Eve sets its viewers on an escapade where the relationship between humans and androids is further explored and distorted. Time of Eve in itself is an anime that manages to be compelling in a visual sense, and just as thought provoking in a thematic sense. At first glance, one may disregard Time of Eve as simply being an anime where the correlation to the androids having a soul/sentience is the overall takeaway. On the other hand, sentience is vital, yet Time of Eve presents us with an even greater ideologic approach that is much needed for the current era of humanity and possibly the future. It is progressive in the way that it teaches acceptance of one regardless of background and shows how
