The mass media is a form of communication that reaches many people through media technologies such as television, the internet, newspaper and the radio. As mass media reaches a lot of people, it has had great influence on people, such as the way people dress, their views, and their behavior. Professor Jeffrey Bineham states that "the texts and artifacts of popular culture are constantly telling us how to think, how to dress, how to talk, what vocations are significant, and what we should do…

I struggle to understand why anyone would go and see a drag queen play a leading lady in musical theatre.” (Barnes, 2015. 119) The purpose of this dissertation is to discuss the portrayal of drag queens within musical theatre and how, if any, societies perceptions have changed over the last 40 plus years. This research will be revised between 1970 to the present day, which will include case studies from three major plays/films and one television show. Those being discussed will include, The…

Follow-Up Strategies for 1 Language Sample Stages of language development have six steps in which typically developing children go through as they develop language (Weitzman & Green Berg, 2002, pg. 37). I have chosen the fifth child from the last six language sample, for describing the strategies. Moreover, language analysis (phonology, syntax, semantics) gave a clear description of the child's strength and weakness in all aspects of language usage. While reviewing, I noticed that child could…

Groundhog Day: Are You Repeating the Same Patterns? Remember the 1960's Sonny and Cher song "I Got You, Babe?" In the wonderful movie "Groundhog Day," that song is the one that Bill Murray's character, Phil, wakes up to every morning. The first time it happens, he continues on with his day, not sensing any oddities with how his day will unfold. Each subsequent day, however, the song is his indicator that he will be repeating the same day over again. Throughout the movie, Phil runs through an…

War II movie, my mother would say something about Julia Roberts and I would go into deep detail about the scene in Burlesque where Cher is applying Christina Aguilera’s makeup and how it transformed her character from a small town girl into a confident woman. I'm certain that scene is so iconic to me because that's what happened to me, but instead of a forever young Cher I had a little old thing called YouTube. I can still remember my first attempt at winged eyeliner. It was more of a crooked…

our environment in an enormous way (Goodall). Humans may not realize it, but nature helps them in so many ways. In October of 1918, Cher Ami, an U.S Army Messenger Pigeon, delivered a message to U.S forces surrounded by enemy fire. Despite being shot at by enemy forces, Cher Ami carried a message back to base to let U.S forces know the location of their troops. Cher Ami saved the lives of many men and changed the face of the war (Nix). Nature helps people substantially and it has even changed…

Stories of love have been told many different ways. We tell them in ways that are so fascinating that we think it could not have been possible. Some stories of love between couples we know very well are fictional, and some of them happen in the real world. Fiction or not, it is their stories that have an impact on how we choose to believe in love and how we perceive the stories of these well-known couples. It seems that these couples were sometimes not meant to be together due to outside forces…

support people who are transgender. Taking a look into Chaz Bono’s transition and life showed how difficult it can be for someone to transition. Some of his family was extremely supportive of his transition while other people were not. Chaz Bono’s mother Cher was really struggling with his transition from female to male. You can see her in the documentary really struggling with Chaz’s pronouns, and not really knowing if she can fully accept this change. The diversity issue that the film raises…

808s machine was what empowered him to create the song Heartless, a machine from back in the 1980s. He created his own sound with the old machine and applied it to melody he had going on. Tracing back to Cher and T-Pain, the auto tune in Heartless is considered a sample, since artists besides Cher and Tallahassee had rarely used it. Kanye brought back the spark that music was missing with auto-tuned voices. Tracing back from older generations of music, Kanye crafted and perfected an album into…
