Over the course of the second half of this class’s readings, one reads into the latter and larger part of the Old Testament, as well as the earlier portion of the New Testament. This provides a nice transitionary period in realizing the connection between some of the Messianic and other prophecies made in the prophetic books of the Old Testament with the realizations of those prophecies in the New Testament, with both the exile of Israel, and the birth and life of Jesus Christ. Immediately…

The Hollywood Western has a rich history stemming all the way from America’s social and political events in the late nineteenth century (Bandy & Stoehr, 2012). With it came filmmakers and stars, like John Ford and John Wayne, whose names would become synonymous with the genre. The Western’s longstanding history has undoubtedly created conventions that audiences have come to love and expect. However, just as other genres have combined into hybrids or evolved, the classic Western is no exception.…

Early in the poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Gawain treats women with dignity, respect, and courtesy. By the end of the poem, Sir Gawain has a very negative perception of women and their role in society. This drastic change occurs as Sir Gawain is tricked by the Green Knight’s wife, he feels betrayed and embarrassed. Sir Gawain blames his shortcomings and failure of loyalty on the cunning nature of women, this explanation of women greatly contradicts the way Sir Gawain viewed women…

How can the view of a person held up so high be degraded in just a matter of a few actions? Women have changed in the way they are perceived and the way they are being carried when compared to prior time periods. It could be because of the constant betrayals but also the attitude men have toward women. When analyzing “Pyramids” by Frank Ocean and “Black Girl Lost” by Nas we see the same perspective in both songs or poems. The modern day black women has fallen in a downward spiral from the grace…

Ever since 1788, when Australia was colonized as a British nation, Indigenous Australians have been represented in a problematic and untruthful manner by many non-indigenous and westernized institutions. In the nation’s healthcare system, Indigenous Australians are presented as being more unhealthy in terms of developed diseases, life expectancy and weigh related illnesses (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2011). The national education system, and the media, paint the indigenous…

None of the women in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight have any sort of agency. In order for agency to exist, it must be seen and also validated. To be seen means that the woman is visualized actually doing something. She talks, moves, and influences events. To be validated means that the women’s actions/words/influences are recognized, or at the very least, not demeaned. Guinevere is neither seen nor validated, the Lady is only seen, and Morgan le Fay is spoken about, but she is not validated.…

This is not your typical boyband, the ones that all dance the same and dress the same.

The stratification of society based not only on race but gender has held its roots in slavery especially for female slaves. In Harriet Jacobs's autobiography, "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," she addresses three key points vital to understanding gender inequality in slavery: The "incidents" discussed failed to convince critics of her legitimacy. Male runaways such as Frederick Douglass gained credibility more easily even though access to education was a rarity for the females. Marriages…

at his request by the demon Mazikeen. Much like Supernatural’s Lucifer, this Lucifer also does not deny who he is; he is unflinchingly honest about it with everyone, including Detective Chloe Decker. After he witnesses the shooting of his friend Delilah, Chloe interviews Lucifer for information on the shooting. When she asks for his name, he responds honestly: Lucifer: Lucifer Morningstar. Chloe: ‘Lucifer Morningstar’? Is that, uh, a stage name or something? Lucifer: God-given, I'm afraid.…
