Rauch Culture and Feminism Our media is over sexualized. People, or worse children, turn on a television and see half-naked models promoting alcohol or food. They see the playboy bunny logo on clothing worn by their peer or even grown adults. Raunch culture is what empowers women to act overly sexual and have a one-of-the-boys attitude. This is ruining the fight for gender equality by promoting sex, allowing women to lose respect, and the rise of unrealistic definition of beauty to young women.…

Perhaps this isn't a conscious doing of our own, but because of the mighty pressure from the media surrounding us. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were married for 72 days before filing for divorce. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander were married for 56 days after being married in Las Vegas. Today, divorce and splitting a family is normal; in fact, statistics show that it's abnormal to not get a divorce. An article was published quoting Brad Pitt, stating…

Much has been written about the pervasiveness of the media in our everyday lives—from television shows, to ads on the sides of buses, to friend’s posts on Facebook, we are constantly being exposed to the media in all its forms. As such, it is no wonder that the information and images shown in the media have such large impacts on our understanding of the world around us.

Gender and beauty norms had me second-guessing this whacky idea of mine. Would people think I was experiencing a breakdown like Britney Spears circa 2007? Or better yet, would being a rebel to society’s standards for women cause people to hate on me? Questions of fitting in and feeling loved consumed my thoughts until I realized that shaving my head would be the most radical change of…

The music business is filled with scandals and drama; therefore, it is no surprise as technology evolves opportunities for musicians to face scandal increases. One scandal allowed by technology is lip syncing. An increasing amount of musicians take the easy way out and lip sync during concerts and important events. Lip syncing is an inexcusable offense for a musician. It is deceitful and wrong for artists to lip sync in live performances, and it should not be allowed. Performers are held to a…

The Search of Man for Reality Man’s life-long thirst for truth, authenticity, reality, prominence and identity has led him to depend on various sources like media, popular opinion and other external sources in search of satisfaction.

"Ha, ha") written by Chuck Klosterman tends to answer questions that border around man’s…
