Video Analysis: Hita

Decent Essays
In the video, Hita describes that she never doubted she was a girl and is glad that she did not have surgery to determine what sex she is. She had a desire to discover herself and found that out from a newspaper article about intersexuals. Hita was popular, athletic, and happy growing up. She disagrees with performing surgery on a newborn baby. Furthermore, I believe that the physician should allow individuals to select their sex when they are old enough. I think it is only acceptable to perform surgery if the situation is life-threatening. Otherwise, it is unfair to make that decision for a newborn child because it may cause future tension. For example, when Cheryl Chase was an infant she had a surgery to remove her enlarged clitoris and now

Not even that, there are many special effects that Bekmambetov applies in this movie, like slow-motion with sound effects that certainly provides that "ouch" reaction from audiences.…

    In the video by Doug Dietz, we see a problem most people overlook being seen and fixed because of one thing: empathy. Doug showed empathy to the family that came to get an MRI scan in the Scanner he designed, so he was able to feel the anxiety and stress faced by the parents and the children. They are the ones the hospital would use the machine on. Hence it is their satisfaction that is important to him. As a designer, I know that a designer feels the most satisfaction when their design serves its purpose in the best way it can and touches the lives of others in the process.…

    The first and one of the most important concepts I’m going to link the MS13 video to is, ‘Population’. The book states that population is, a target group to be studied (Henslin 130). The MS13 population first started in Hollywood but has nearly spread around the whole world. MS13 consists of mostly immigrants from Central America, but they recruit anyone that is desperate for an opportunity to change their life. This happened because members of the gang were usually immigrants from El Salvador that came to the United States.…

    From the video, Big Hits Broken Dreams, many questions are raised from multiple viewpoints. The video spent a lot of time addressing the new protocols that a local greenville high school set in place after losing one of their football players to a Traumatic Brain Injury. One of the questions raised is if high school students should be required to follow the protocols set up for them. However even with support of this policy, what's preventing the students from lying to the trainer or doctor about their symptoms? In the video it addresses how high school football players and even NFL football players will downplay their symptoms just to be able to stay in the game even if it is detrimental to their health in the long run.…

    Intersex issues have gained increasing attention in academic, medical, and legal circles over the past two decades. At the forefront of the discussion is the issue of gender assignment surgery, including ethical questions regarding whether gender assignment surgery is appropriate for infants who cannot consent. In some cases, surgical responses are necessary to address intersex conditions that threaten the life of the child, such as with cloacal exstrophy and salt-losing CAH. In those cases, it would be impractical for a physician to wait till the infant can provide consent to proceed with treatment.…

    Europeans identified and treated the people of St. Domingue horribly and as if they where inferior to them. They forced them to work and ranked people based on how much “black blood” they had. The hundreds of ranks that where made gave everyone different names, like mulatto, and determined how they lived and where treated. People of color where not equal, and noticed this. So they decided to ask for freedom.…

    “If you keep the sex of a child secret, you are making it the most important thing about that child, not the least” (Timson, 2011, para. 6). People often become skeptical if they meet an individual who seems to have the physical traits of a certain gender but their actions are of the opposite sex. It is quite inevitable for society to not wonder about a person’s gender if he/she does not identify with his/her biological gender. With the use of sarcasm, Timson criticized Witterick and Stocker’s decision of not revealing the gender of their 3rd child, using sarcastic language, polls surveys and personal beliefs.…

    Non-Binary and Transgender People When a child is born the first thing their parents hear is, “Congratulations it’s a girl,” or “Congratulations it’s a boy”. Already trying to enforce the idea that there are only two genders the moment they take their first breath. JAC Stringer of the Heartland Trans* Wellness Group defined, gender binary as the cultural belief of only two genders existing and they have to correspond to the appropriate sex.

In the video, what I perceive as ugly is beauty to the normal people in the video. To me, the patient 307 looks very normal, and the doctor and nurses look ugly.…

    The music video I decided to write about is from the artist Tove Lo and is titled Habits. In the lyrics she is talking about a breakup and how she needs to stay high to keep the guy she lost off her mind. In the video she states how the only way she can forget about him is by being “high all the time” in order to not think about him. Tove is revealing that the only way she can cope with the breakup is by using substances as her coping mechanism. I definitely think in this situation that losing her role as a girlfriend has enhanced her behavior to use marijuana as an attempt to manage.…
