Film and video terminology

In “Grand Theft Childhood,” Professors Lawrence Kutner and Cheryl Olson do a good job of investigating whether violent video games are bad for kids. They present both sides of the argument in an unbiased way. In the early chapters of “Grand Theft Childhood” Kutner and Olson take on the relation between depictions of violence and their effects on child behavior by arguing that amount of crime decreased dramatically during the peak of violent penny gaff viewing in England. Penny gaffs were inexpensive

Hip-hop dance is a popular and energetic dance genre, usually accompanied by hip-hop music. It has enjoyed popularity among young people all over the world. I have been interested in hip-hop music and dance for a long time. I can show my love for life and exercise my body by practicing hip-hop dance. Young people like hip-hop dance because they can invent their own moves. It offers young people a new way to express their own personalities and emotion. Hip-hop dance also shows that they feel good

The film aimed to explore an underground queer space, the Harlem ball scene of the 1980s, in which predominantly black and Latinx queer people caricatured gender by participating in elaborately orchestrated drag competitions (Livingston). In Paris Is Burning, Livingston intersperses testimony by scene members about their subversive performances and their lives with videos of the performances of drag that take place within the scene. The documentary was praised for being counter-hegemonic as its subject

Anishinabe were the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Ottawa nations. Ojibwe people refer to call themselves as the “Anishinabe” or even Chippewa tribe (Poupart, 2000, p.170). This information proves that the Anishinabeg’s central characteristic in different terminologies is in fact a nation. Because the Anishinabeg are a nation they use oral traditions to gather their information from the past and use the knowledge in today’s life. The Anishinabeg were viewed by western culture as inferior to the written word

Investigating Personal project is much more than a project; it is an experience, a process and a journey. It is an opportunity to test your potential and explore your dreams. With so much support and little guidance students are sent out into the community to explore and in the end you only can get out of it what you put in, so what you come back with is up to you. For my personal project, I investigated the benefits of animal therapy on individuals in both short term and long-term care facilities

In Western society, religion plays a vital role in maintaining traditionalism. For instance, growing up as a Christian, I was taught that God loves everyone and forgives us of our sins, but he also condemns homosexuality and gives the consequence for such a lifestyle. Leviticus 20:13 mentions that “If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood {shall be} upon them”. Basically, I believe that the Bible

In my opinion, mental illness is also called psychiatric disorder, which affects an individual’s way of thinking, behaving and perceiving, and interacting with other people. Upon reflection, I felt that my anxiety was largely due to my negative preconceptions about mental illness especially my belief that mentally ill people are violent, unpredictable, and dangerous. These views were not only a result of a lack of knowledge about mental illness but also due to the impact of negative media and cultural

Zombie Obsession of the 20th Century: Personal View The AMC television series The Walking Dead and the movie World War Z are the main culprits for my fascination with zombies. I love that series and film, but I am not a fanatic preparing for the zombie apocalypse. I find interest in the zombies portrayed in the media but, being I major in biology, I know that the zombies are genetically impossible. The zombies shown today do not have beating hearts. To me, this shows that the muscles in the body

Polarization occurred in the feminist movement as differences of opinion ascended regarding broad issues pertaining to sexuality, sex, and the relationship between man and woman, of all of which are demonstrated in pornography. Pornography meaning, sexually explicit material intended to cause sexual sensations or arousal. Pornographic consumption became into question during the 1970s and 80s as anti-pornography feminists found it perilous, and sex-positive feminists found it to be a vital component
