Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I physically was able to tour Walmart to see just how they present their toys for the public to buy. It was quite evident that the toy industry has created toys to be specific to one gender over the other by looking at Walmart’s toy section. They create toys that are made for a boy or a girl and there are no acceptations for in between. A feminist intersectional analysis of the toy industry would be acknowledging that the toy industry is dangerously creating toys that make children fall into…

changing the way of the tweens of today. Media has a way of changing a perspective at a childhood to tweens. The main ways media is having an influence on tweens begins with children’s toys, such as Barbie, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Media has a certain way of changing a young child into a tween that wants so much more. Hymowitz (2011) states, “children with dreams of teen sophistication and tough independence began with Barbie” (Hymowitz 103). Since there…

Over the course of cinematic history, there have been more Tarzan tales and reincarnations than anyone can count (you probably can, I guess – but who’d want to?). As a result, this is a character that has as much name recognition as any fictional personality ever conceived – right there with Superman, James Bond, and Robin Hood. However, just like James Bond and Superman, there have been some rather dreadful and forgettable inceptions of Tarzan – with the WB’s attempt at creating a television…

In the United States, most individuals are exposed to three thousand advertisements a day. Think about advertisements people have seen recently. Remember seeing a woman strut down the street, smiling flirtatiously at a man who uses a particular product? Or maybe seeing a woman look lustfully at a man as he drinks his beer? The ad could be an Axe body spray commercial or for the most interesting man in the world (Dos Equis). Most commercials often use sex to sell their products. Sex does sell…

Have you ever want to know the backstory of the creator of The Muppets, Sesame Street and many more? Well his life was anything but boring and dreary. His practice and hard work obviously seemed to pay off. This was only capable through his big imagination and creativity. Jim Henson is an Image of Greatness because he influenced a lot of young childrens lives and taught them friendship, good morals and fellowship. He taught this through puppets and showing young children and many future…

“Humans of RAHI” is a spin off of the blog “Humans of New York,” where portraits and interviews are collected by people of the streets of New York City. Humans of New York’s overall purpose is to celebrate positivity, diversity, and the prevails of adversity. Similar to the infamous blog, students here at RAHI were assigned a partner to interview, and my partner was Drew Pekar. In order to create and put together our narratives, we interviewed and photographed one another until we believed we…

As the popularity and proliferation of television increases, children are progressively exposed to programs which can influence the way in which they think and view both culture and gender. This essay will discuss the cartoon ‘Adventure Time with Finn and Jake’ focusing specifically on two episodes. In condensed terms ‘Adventure Time’ features Finn the Human Boy and his magical dog Jake, adventuring in the fantasy land of Ooo. Behind its bizarre plot and fantastical characters, hides an…

Learning Compassion Through Experiences with My Mom In middle school I hated going to class and I never cared to listen in class much, but my theology teacher, Terry Hogan, said something that just woke me up and stuck with me and also with most of my classmates to this day, “love is knowing, wanting, and doing what is ultimately in the best interest of another person”. The reason that this stuck to me was that since I was young I would say I loved my toys, I loved my games, and I loved my…

realize how there is an obsession in the room with giraffes, noticing behind the door a 4 ½ foot tall stuffed giraffe and multiple other small ones piled in the corner of the room. Also the collection of The Wizard of Oz, wonder woman, teenage mutant ninja turtles, mermaids, pirates and game of throne magnets stuck to the closed closet doors. But that’s not all because you may wake up and freak out seeing something on the…

Research Paper I learned a lot throughout this course, and I also came to realize that every event in history is important. Each event leads to another event creating a big chain reaction. But I do believe that some events are more important and make a bigger impact on the world and change it forever. Events such as, The Renaissance, The Industrial Revolution, The Boston Tea Party, The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and creation of The Treaty of Versailles. There is no…
