Mom Essay
Mothers are the people that we have to be the most thankful to. Those are the people who were taking care of us even before we were born. Writing an essay about the mothers can be infinitive long. And it is supposed to be full of good things. Love, gratitude, appreciation and respect, these are the feelings that everyone must feel for his or her mother. I do not even feel that this is enough.
I can say that my mother and I have super strong relationship. She has been and always will be my best friend no matter what. I like sharing with her. Let me introduce her now.

Even we are living in much more modern lifestyle the stereotype of the housewife is still active. In my family we have a little bit different view. My mother job was full time mother. That is how my father call it. But she was not staying at home cooking, cleaning or doing laundry. Her schedule was full with appointments either for me or my sister. And the end of the day I could see how tired she was but she did not complain even once. She wanted to be one of those mothers who never shows their weak parts. This is something for which I can just admire her. She was even more than full time mother since she was available for my little sister and me seven days in the week 24 hours. She devote her life on my sister and me and even now we are not anymore young she is always there to provide us help. I hope I can do the same thing for her one

    She is only a text, email, or phone call away when I need her. I know that she’ll always listen, because she always has. Through my parents’ divorce, through a day where I could have just run away from home and not looked back, and then even through the less serious, sometimes trivial matters, she was there for me. I asked her what her favorite part of being a small group leader is, and she replied, “Connecting with you guys, and just hearing your stories, you know? Being able to help you guys has also been pretty big.…

    The Pop Culture Scare The media and pop culture have influenced society in more ways than we know. Everything that society does, thinks, feels, or believes, comes from social media or a standard of pop culture. For example, the “YOLO”, “haters gonna hate”, or any other of the ridiculous basic sayings portrayed by the media or news, are slowly consuming young people’s minds and actions. The worldly things in the media are influencing young people negatively by inequality between the sexes, loss of creativity and originality, and decreases trust in the media world.…

    Diversity in America has been rising every year. Lately the country’s diverseness has skyrocketed since the legalization of gay marriage. The media is meant to represent the diversity of the country and represent the common people and the number of gay and colored people has shot up immensely within the last 20 years but the media has failed to keep up with this. Most people, white, straight and usually male, feel that the media represents them perfectly and it does. But for the people that are colored, transgender, gay or sometimes female feel that the media does not have enough representation for them and they feel as though the country does not acknowledge the fact that they exist.…

    The family relationship and the sense of community that Viola Canales portrays in her novel, it is founded on Mexican culture, as such I felt identified with it. In this essay, I will compare Sofia’s childhood relationship with Mexican traditions and customs, and her relationship with her parents with mine. I was surprising to me how easily her family kept in touch with their roots, since I grew up in Mexico, one would think the customs and traditions of my country would have been present in my life without effort, but the truth is my parents never instilled me most of it, they worked all week, almost all day, making it impossible for us to have family time until I was in middle school, but the feel of community, which in my opinion is the…

    My mother and I did not share a typical mother/daughter relationship. There was a time when we would not even speak and years would pass before I would even see her again. However, I would always see her when I looked into the mirror, since I looked just like her. I would hear her laugh because our laughs were identical, and small details we shared would remind me of the relationship I was missing, the relationship I felt everyone took advantage of. During my senior year all hope of a possible reconciliation would be lost.…

She is proud of the family that she created and established, despite the absence of a father figure for a chunk of time.…

    The screen opens with a slow, artistic piano, visually accompanied by images of black and white ‘Breaking News’ headlines, studios and clips of historical male journalists such as Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite. The classical piano keys reach a crescendo, harmonizing with an emotionally moving string ensemble, simultaneously flashing forward to a modern newsroom as the characters are shown to the audience. The juxtapose between the two newsrooms serves to embed a certain historical influence, distinguishing and carrying over a specific an intellectual continuity associated with these respected male journalists. But why not include highly influential female journalists in American history; one of the greatest war correspondents Martha Gellhorn, or second most influential woman in the world Dorothy Thomson? The decision to ignore esteemed women journalists is the result of a social order inscribed to our condition, to give higher attention to male journalists over their equally respected female counterparts in the history of hierarchal profession.…

Feminists and other advocates of women's rights have criticized such exploitation. The most often criticized aspect of the use of women in mass media is sexual objectification.

    While it may not come as a surprise to know that the media tends to sensationalize crimes like domestic violence as a quick and easy way to entice viewers/readers, in reality the representation of the crime is skewed as news reports tend to show male on female violence and usual about the female who comes forwarded with her case, is hospitalized, or was murdered. Researchers like Kohlman, Baig, Balice, DiRubbo, Plancencia, Skale, and Aquino claim that focusing mainly on stories like these will only serve to reinforce gender stereotypes, normalize the crime as an everyday occurrence, and desensitize the viewers/readers to future tragedies involving domestic violence (2014). Thanks to the media’s continuous portrayals of domestic violence as a brutal crime mainly instigated by the masculine partner many citizens will be conditioned to assume that whenever a crime like this happens one party will almost always be innocent while the other party will…
