Why Women Have to do the Housework? “Ngan, have you finished washing the dishes?” “Where are my socks?” “Have you not ironed my t- shirt? ‘’. These inquiries play again and again in my mind. I have always wondered why my brother does not have to do chores as much as I do. . I spend eight hours at work then come home to cook and clean. Although the second shift is familiar, the reasons that result in this issue is still what I am trying to discover. Firstly, there are stereotypes associated with each

“Clinicians Respond to Their Clients’ Technology” he states “...a young man’s excessive engagement with World of Warcraft stemmed from his need to retreat from intense shame that he had been unable to manage in the real world…” (Rosegrant 1162) The young man suffered as a victim of shaming has issues with shaming in his real life. Instead of doing the healthy thing and reviewing his situation personally or trying to talk about it with his friends and family in an attempt to resolve his problem, he decided

Graceanne just barely stopped the bus from crashing. The lives of many young children were on the line, and only one person was brave enough to jump to the rescue. The only thing this young teen was thinking of was making sure these kids got home safely. What makes up a hero, and why are they so influential? Graceanne is an example of a hero: someone who is selfless, undaunted, and dedicated. A selfless person is one who puts others before himself, more involved in the concerns of others. A hero

“To begrudge folks of their opinion of these women is useless. Beauty is entirely subjective, a matter truly in the eye of the beholder,” (Source 1). The media is infamous for how it views individuals. Television shows such as TMZ and Extra exist for the sole purpose of not only stalking, but also ridiculing celebrities regardless of whether or not they planned to be in the limelight. If Jennifer Lawrence appears gorgeous in her red carpet gown, she is praised; if she is caught with a slice of pizza

In adolescent’s years, the process of the development stages to boy’s bodies takes place. A male’s body structure and how it is perceived by society contributes to their construction of their masculine identities (Addis, M. E., Reigeluth, C. S., & Schwab, J. R., 2016). Swain (2003) researchers suggest males constructed their sense of self through their bodies which are used as a social symbol to peers that is a display of masculinity. Kimmel (1997), suggest males create their masculine identities

Everyone at some point in their life has felt like they cannot seem to fit in with society’s standards when all they were doing was trying to be themselves. This conflict can happen to both rebels and outcasts. An outcast individual is someone who is neglected and excluded from society or home. They are usually pushed to the back burner and often ignored or not even noticed because they are different or not wanted. Langston Hughes, who wrote the poem, “I,Too” expresses what it is like to be an outcast

Media comes in all forms and so do gender roles and representations. The question I asked was: What are gender roles? My more specific question was: How do TV shows pander to their audience? I was interested in this question because I am in a fandom whose TV show is meant for a younger and female audience but has amassed a large audience whose main features are that they’re largely teen and adult males with some female adults. The biggest part of this fandom is the whole “love and tolerate” ideal

The men were always the hero’s and leaders. My theory is supported by the great man theory where people felt that “it seems as if the right man for the job seems to emerge almost magically to take control of a situation and lead a group of people into safety or success (psychology.about.com).” When you were a child and watched a movie with heroes, the men were

the characters develop as a whole, enhancing symbolism- specifically Mama’s plant- that represent the family. To begin the play, a young man named Walter is presented as an individual who is selfish and only wishes for his own personal gains. As his struggles are expressed through his word choice, tone, and actions, it can be seen that Walter Younger is a man who only thinks about what he wants, even if it will hurt his family. Soon after, the audience is introduced to Mama’s plant that is withering

A father and a son survives a cataclysmic event; the destruction of the world. They become homeless scavengers, hunting for food, looking for shelter, and following the one and only road to the coast where there might be a sign of hope. Cormac McCarthy tells us a post-apocalyptic epic. This breathtaking novel is a love story of a father and a son, which also depicts the human nature and how people can react in desperate times. The world is covered in ash. Even the sea turned grey. It’s a dull,
