Influence is the capacity or power of persons to produce an effect on the actions of others. Victor Flemming, the director of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, depicts a message that revolves around the reversal of power and gender roles. Moreover, Dorothy is a child in her physical presence but lives the role of a hero as she leads the scarecrow, lion, and tin man to the Wizard himself. Through the archetypes such as the hero being a women, Cultural values, and the stages of the journey, Flemming raises the argument that in this case those who don 't have much influence in society are very influential in the Emerald City.

There's a scene in the new musical "RENT" that may be the quintessential romantic moment of the '90s. Roger, a struggling rock musician, and Mimi, a junkie who's a dancer at an S/M club, are having a lovers' quarrel when their beepers go off and each takes out a bottle of pills. It's the signal for an "AZT break," and suddenly they realize that they're both HIV-positive. Clinch.

My junior and senior year of high school I was an editor of the yearbook staff. I played the role of creating our layouts for the pages.

In the film Rocky Horror Picture Show, the character Dr. Frank-N-Furter sings the words, “So I’ll remove the cause, but not the symptom” (O’Brien) . This cult classic musical written by Richard O’Brien follows a newly engaged couple through a sexual journey as they lose their innocence and start to conform to traditional gender stereotypes. Today youth of America are being bombarded with conflicting ideas about gender, race and sex. These conflicting ideas can lead to skewed visions on what defines masculinity and what defines femininity. Furthermore, sexual assault on college campuses by men and particularly student athletes have come to the forefront of many news headlines in recent years and while some believe that sexual assault stems from “locker room culture”, it stems from a skewed sense of masculinity that has been created over years of consuming media. Many try to educate these same men on what defines consent and how to properly act in sexual situations, but this is merely trying put a temporary solution on a much larger issue. If people wanted the systemic issue of sexual assault to be reduced, then the root cause must be removed. A twisted systemic view of masculinity is the root cause of many sexual assaults because a twisted view of masculinity causes unhealthy understanding of sexuality and consent as seen in college.

Las Vegas can be an escape from stressful life, and a vacation from all the worries and problems that plagues the people of America. Many people come to Vegas seeking untold riches every day, though looking for this American dream can come at an expensive cost. Hunter S.

Hunter S. Thompson was born on July 18, 1937

Oddly enough, as a child I took the positive out of the negative and thought simply, there are worse things happening to other girls around the world and that living through this, I was a stronger person. Yes, women of all ages everywhere are facing acts of sexual harassment and I did become a stronger person, but I wish I had told my younger self that it was okay to to cry and express my confusion, frustration and anger towards the situation and how it was being handled. The adults at school were no help and all I felt my therapist and parents asking me was if I was ok and that it wasn't my fault. I felt like I was alone and lost and that I had to decide to crumble or to rise from this situation. I felt like I had to grow up and become more mature than those who surrounded me and I at times still do feel that

In his film The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola creates a narrative structure, very similar to that seen in Classic Hollywood cinema. Events in the film unfold chronologically, and cause and effect ultimately help shape the narrative. The Godfather’s long narrative span, covers a very significant time in American history, and centers around the idiosyncrasy of family. The film is told entirely within the closed world of the Corleone family, which creates sympathy for the main characters, who otherwise would be considered evil. Coppola draws the audience into the Godfather’s world by divulging into each of the characters personalities, following them through every significant

The Rocky Horror Picture Show , directed by Jim Chapman, is a campy comedy musical set in a horror and science fiction themed castle in which sexuality and hilarity run rampant. The film, closely based on a stage production, hit theaters in 1975 and continued to rule the midnight film scene, becoming a cult-classic. By using homage and allusion to science fiction and horror B-films, lambasting sexual identity and gender normality, and employing a self-referential universe, The Rocky Horror Picture Show stands as a strong representation of 1970 's postmodernism in film.
