Dude

The goal of this paper is to present a map of the argument in the article “Dude” by Scott F. Kiesling. This argument mapping will do the following things. First, it will present what I believe are the main claims of the article. While doing this I will also explain any important terms or concepts needed to understand the Kiesling’s argument. I will then link the claims to the kinds of evidence that Kiesling uses in order to support them. Finally, I will close my argument mapping with an overview…

When I started reading Dude, You’re a fag by C.J. Pascoe, I thought it was going to be just another book about high school clichs and gossipy girls being mean. Boy was I wrong. This book explained a ton of patterns that I saw in high school every day but never picked up on. Many of which I still see in college to some extent. But this class being a sociology class, I see things in the real world that we’ve discussed in class all the time. So for this reason, it was pretty easy to find a couple…

Dude, Where’s My Country? is a good book for people that dislike bush, and like talking about and learning about different things that happened while he was in office and if he was going to become president again for another term. Moore Talks about 9/11 and Bin laden throughout this book and his opinion on how is was basically done on purpose by Bush. He states different facts that can sort of prove what Moore is saying about Bush. Like how the Bush administration resisted the special commission…

Dude, You’re A Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School by C.J. Pascoe (2007) is an important piece of sociological research about the intersection of sexual identity and masculinity in adolescent males. Though ten years out of date, and sidetracked by the topic of female gender identity, this book provides an in-depth look at the behaviour of teenage males within educational institutions. I would recommend this book for people who interact with children and teenagers on a regular basis,…

This binary enforcing is used the Fag Discourse to police masculinity that Pascoe brings up in Dude You 're A Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School, “A boy could get called a fag for exhibiting any sort of behavior defined as unmasculine (although not necessarily behaviors aligned with femininity)” (Pascoe, 2007, P. 57). This binary enforcing…

CINEMATOGRAPHY This idea of truth will also cross over into our photography - Nothing should be over-styled or over-lit to avoid the contrived look,. I am thinking that beautiful Nordic Noir, something edgy and modern, but at the same time human and organic - something that you can touch which feels authentic. Sunlight streaming through coffee-shop windows, moody skies, atmospheric landscapes, we want to use our environment to develop a tone, add drama and provoke thoughts, which will, in…

In “Against School: How Public Education Cripples Our Kids, and Why,” John Taylor Gatto discuss how schools are just a prison for children to dumb them down and destroy any possible for geniuses to be created. In “Dude, Where’s My Job?” Walter Benn Michaels discusses that the social standing of our student determine how high the degree we can puress. In "The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society" Jonathan Kozol explains the problems and difficulties that the illiterates in our society have today.…

Dude, You’re a Fag by C.J. Pascoe dives into an often ignored aspect of teenage development and sexuality. Experts, bloggers and anyone with a Facebook account write about the pressures on teenage girls to be sexual and fit certain roles in society, the feelings and roles of young men are often overlooked or considered self induced. As someone interested in sex education and working with high school students, I personally feel that the needs and feelings of teenage boys must be addressed more…

get back up, but Dude Man had to do something because he needed to stop the machine but him and Erb go way back and he wanted to save his friend. It all started at a science convention where two twenty year old scientists were showing off their invention of how to help global warming. But they didn’t get first, so when they were driving back home they were arguing at each other saying that it was your fault and they would both say that for about an hour. So when Erb dropped off Dude Man that was…

specifically The Dude. One way mise-en-scène is utilized in a beneficial manner is costume design. For instance, when The Dude is first introduced in The Big Lebowski he’s seen wearing an outlandish bathroom robe. Along with this robe comes a beaten-up pair of shorts and a plain white t-shirt. He’s then shown wear a similar outfit the following day. From this alone, the audience can get a better sense of The Dude from the first moment he’s introduced. This costume makes The Dude stick out as…
