Explicit

For my extra credit assignment, I decided to watch the film, Tough Guise 2. The film was mainly about violence in America and how males are the ones committing violent acts. Females also commit violent acts, but are just a small fraction compared to men. According to the film, statistics show that eighty-six percent of armed robberies are committed by men. Seventy-seven percent of aggravated assaults are committed by men and eighty-six percent of domestic violence incidents that have ended with…

the value of war, whilst scrutinising the suffering on the battlefield in an aggravated manner. The experiences of war for soldiers on the battlefield is forerunning concept which the poem ‘Dulce et Decorum’, revolves around. Owen uses explicit imagery, to portray very horrific scenes, positioning the reader to feel empathetic towards the ruined men. Through the use of sensory imagery, such as ‘guttering, choking, drowning’, he is able to seek empathy from a reader, as they are placed…

before I submit them. While writing this essay, I believed I consumed a clear understanding of writing the thesis statement. After reviewing the feedback, I’ve done some extra ready for this and better understand the difference between an implicit and explicit thesis statement. I found a great website that helps you understand and helps create a thesis statement at http://johnmcgarvey.com/apworld/student/thesiscreator.html. As well as the owl prude site…

31. Does the researcher place the report in the context of what is already known about the phenomenon? The researcher stated little is known about the feelings of families with patients with dementia in hospital settings. The general feelings that is expressed from the families and caretakers with dementia is well known and documented in many other literally articles. 32. Was the existing literature of the topic related to the findings? Do to the literature examine I found that most families…

themselves in ways they may not have within differing circumstances. Less than forty-eight hours ago, I noticed a post which revealed an alarming indicator of the reformational perspective of interaction between the Christian faith and secular society. Someone posed the question, “Why is it okay for games to go into overtime, but if church goes over, then it is not?” Someone replied by saying, “Because they operate in entirely different spheres of our culture. Apples and oranges here, bud.” Such…

of how women and men are supposed to act to pay attention to how it is produced” (Lorber 1). These familiarities aren’t just known at birth either--they’re fabricated by humans. This awareness and expectation of certain gender norms need not be explicit to be noticed, either. In Toys R Us, for example, even though there weren’t clearly labeled sections for boys and for girls, it was clear which section was intended for each gender. The section that targeted girls was still dominated by pink,…

Through films, directors convey implicit and explicit meanings to the audience. Barsam and Monahan, authors of Looking at Movies, mention “not all movie meaning is easy to see. Movies have a way of hiding their methods and meaning” (para. 1, 6). Any director may have his or her own stylistic manner yet it is possible to identify common themes between two different movies filmed by two different directors. Furthermore, films may have different plots and scenery yet through series of formal…

The fear of black males in white American and police culture has perpetuated the use of violence against young black males, as evidenced by social injustices in court cases, the workforce and individual tasks blacks encounter. Subsequently, my working claim is that the injustices blacks encounter are steered by the tandem of implicit bias and negligence, thus perpetuating the degradation of blacks so long as this remains unaddressed. Research regarding my topic is vast because the fact remains…

As a student of Socrates it would make sense that Plato’s representation of Socrates would accurately illustrate Socrates’ beliefs of power within tyrants. However, I would like to argue that Plato’s rendition of Socrates within Gorgias inappropriately reflects upon the historical Socrates. The overarching motif of a powerful tyrant within both Plato’s Gorgias and Xenophon’s The Education of Cyrus proves that the historical figure Socrates believes that a tyrant is fully capable and powerful…

In 2004, Reggaetón entered the mainstream music world, quickly spreading to all areas of the world. Reggaetón originated from the underground scene of Puerto Rico’s urban life, combining Puerto Rican hip hop with Jamaican dancehall. In Petra R. Rivera-Rideau’s, book Remixing Reggaetón Rivera-Rideau discusses the cultural politics of race in Puerto Rico, focusing on Reggaetón as a critique of Puerto Rico’s “racial democracy.” At the start of this book, Rivera-Rideau focuses on Puerto Rico’s…
