On the summer day of June 22, a Van Boekel Hog Farms slaughterhouse transportation truck headed to Fearman's Pork Inc. was stationary, Anita Krajnc, the co-founder of Toronto Pig Save, and another activist stopped to give the pigs water and document their experience. The driver confronted the two women and told them to stop giving the pigs water. While Krajnc asked the driver to show compassion, he threatened her with physical assault and called the police. Now Krajnc is being charged with criminal mischief -- interference with the use, enjoyment of and operation of property -- and fined $5,000 for showing thirsty pigs compassion. Although there are reports that she's willing to go to jail.…
Reading this statement the my first understanding of the quote is defined as, having a society where “fantasies” are demanded by order and are also created by order. This might first be hard to understand but while looking through the work of Laura Mulvey we come to understand that “phantasy” is a mixture of sexual desire and self-image. Mulvey states, “During its history, the cinema seems to have evolved a particular illusion of reality in which this contradiction between libido and ego has found a beautifully complementary phantasy world.” (VP & NC pg. 308).…
In the article, Catton briefly stated some comparison concerning Lee and Grant, as well. One of the similarities that he mention was they were both determined to end the war peacefully. This comparison can be proven when Catton stated, “To turn quickly from the war to peace once the fighting was over . . . in the end, help the two sections to become one nation again,” concerning Lee and Grant. These quotes support the author believes the main similarities between Lee and Grant was both two strong men physically and mentally to protect their people.…
This essay is going to be a argumentative essay about krakauer opinion of Chris McCandless. Krakauer mood changes throughout the book/story about how he feels about Chris he says a lot of stuff that he might disagrees and sometimes he agrees with him about it. Krakauer talk a lot of Chris because of the choices he made during the story and how he lived and how he tried to survive in the wild. I will also be talking about how he connects and the opposite of what he says about Chris McCandless. Krakauer didn't like Chris decisions about going in the wild because he was going to die there without any food or any place to stay or sleep or rest.…
On the topic of participation awards, Lisa Heffernan and Vivian Diller have both published articles advocating either for, or against rewarding children at a young age, regardless if they’ve won a game or not. In terms of making a strong argument, both writers used celebrity testimonies, life experience, and quotes from reputable sources, some tactics more effective than others. In Lisa Heffernan’s article favoring participation trophies, “In Defense of Participation Trophies: Why They Really do Teach the Right Values,” she often pulls from her most powerful and relevant source to her topic- her son. Statements such as “When my son was around eight years old … he scoffed at the very idea that such an award existed.” would play a critical role in setting up a counter argument, but much like her other quotations in her article, it was followed by a statement from Hillary L. Friedman, a sociologist, that initially seems to back up her son’s opinion.…
“For the male,” said Felatina, gesturing to Blondie, “Exercise and sexual behavior are closely related. The same muscles are used in both activities.” Blondie was blushing deeply as we watched him. He clasped his hands in front of his pelvis, trying to maintain some modesty. “This is why,” she continued, “it is so interesting to watch male physical exercise.”…
Professional sports players have meant a lot to the U.S. for many generations. But people nowadays think that these big, money making machines are being disrespectful to our country. People calling these men and women “traitors” or “a disgrace” or even telling them to “leave the country”. These rude comments aren’t meant to be said to every athlete. It's actually going towards Toni Smith, the then 21-year-old senior guard on the Manhattanville College women’s basketball team.…
Indeed, quiz show provides a feeling of everyone has equal opportunities to win no matter what job, talent, class, gender or race they are through doing same quizzes. As Holmes has argued about Fiske's explanation of games and rituals, games separate out winners from contestants as different, but rituals bringing different individuals in same levels and implying commonality (2008, p.93). In Mastermind, rituals fill in that idea by reducing individual's differences and make them compete at same starting line as equal competitor. For example, the host askes each contestant's name, job and the specialist area they choose to do the quiz before they start to answer, and tells competitors that each of them have equal time to answer the quizzes which…
What is Erika Gregory’s main argument? What is the conflict that her argument is responding to? What does the way she establishes the context/issue suggest about her underlying assumptions about nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons pose a threat to all life on the planet and future generations need to reduce the number of nuclear weapons to reduce the threat of nuclear war. The conflict is that although the cold war is over the threat of a nuclear attack occurring is still very possible and needs to be corrected.…
While reading paragraph one Mr.Douglass made a very interesting analogy. He compared the nation to a river. Also giving the audience details on how to prevent such an atrocity. He explains how we still have a chance unlike the bigger nations such as Britain. In paragraph two I will speak of how the United states is a river and then in paragraph 3 I will discuss how he states we can avoid becoming a”sad tale of departed glory”.…
On the other hand, the distributed self would suggest that how people experience the world and make sense of it is primarily a result of socio-cultural processes, which varies over time and space. Constructionists conceptualize depression as an identity continually renegotiated via linguistic exchange and social performance. They would argue that the biological attitude excludes the social and linguistic dimensions of experience from consideration; social constructionist perspective is essential to understand how subjectivity and meaning are constructed in language and social interaction. For example I will briefly discuss the argument of gender differences in depression and how social constructionists consider that through looking at the ‘material discursive’ practices it is the pressures of society, which causes depression. They argue that a certain pressure is thrust upon women to be doing activities that fits the ideology of being a ‘good woman’ this can exhaust the woman’s body therefore causing depression.…
The Supreme Court, as Justice Madison puts it, is the Supreme interpreter of the law, and all laws that are not constitutional must be strike down. Brandeis also thinks this way. He thinks the interpreter of the law has supervisory powers. They must be impartial and not allow a citizen or government official to break the law. If citizens break the law, then the appropriate punishment applies according to the statutes; however, if the government breaks the law, then sanctions applies to uphold the integrity of the law.…
Radical feminists argue that majority of the time, prostitution is not a conscious and calculated choice. They say that women who become prostitutes are forced or persuaded by a pimp or by human trafficking. If they do to prostitute independently, then it is due to personal problems, like extreme poverty and lack of opportunity, or underlying problems, such as drug addiction, child sexual abuse and other factors. Radical feminists show evidence that women from the lowest socioeconomic classes, like low level of education, disadvantaged racial and ethnic minorities and impoverished women are the largest social group of women who are in prostitution.…
Feminist perspectives seek out why women are invisible and why men are filled with power and endurance. These pictures of the deodorants show different side through feminist perspective eyes. Small things like displaying through marketing strategies can lead to the stereotypes and differences between men and women. The lady speed stick and secret deodorant is labeled both invisible, while the men’s deodorant is labeled endurance and wild. Secret labeled romantic rose showing that women are dainty and not strong enough to hold the power these brands are showing patriarchy that power and endurance can only be vested in men.…
Always dreading the day I have to step back into that class. By that class, I mean Speech and Debate of course. The unknowing motion to argue or what side you have to support always leaves me unprepared and anxious. I have never been able to shake off the fear of having to stand in front of a crowd and give a speech. Even more so now because I am surely not one to think on the spot or bullshit my way through an assignment or speech.…
