A number of teenagers actively using Facebook, MySpace and other networks were surveyed, with a similar conclusion that active usage of social networks leads to more explicit content being viewed by teens. However, results for Facebook users appeared to be better than for other social networks. 'Facebook-only users had higher grades, spoke more English at home and were more likely to have a higher socio-economic status…

In this satire novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley uses literary devices such as, imagery and symbolism to tell of the explicit activities that go on in the society of the 1930s and to warn society of where the world may end up if people continue to live corrupt lives. During this time period, people appeared innocent on the surface, but with a closer look, it is clear that people weren’t as innocent as they seemed. Behind closed doors people lived corrupt lives. Brave New World does a great…

been sending him letters which his dad had been keeping, and also that it was his own father that had murdered the neighbor’s dog. The book has a great plot, good writing quality, and no sexual content, but it does have some unnerving scenes and explicit language. I think the book should be banned from elementary to middle school settings due to the amount of language in the book and also because I feel that there are many sensitive and/or complex subjects in the story that could be confusing…

Harriot writes: “Their manner of wars among themselves is either by sudden surprising one another...or else by ambushes, or some subtle devices. Set battles are very rare” (Harriot 4). While less explicit that the writing of John Leo Africanus, this quote reflects the same trope. The use of the words “sudden surprising” and “ambushes” creates in the reader the sense that the Native people’s capacity for violence is more spontaneous and more emotional…

Howe was asked to make a lifesaving medical decision while in duress and not fully understanding the procedure and the potential outcome if he refused. In this case I believe the physician made the correct decision to intubate Mr. Howe against his explicit instructions not to. The physician made a determination that the patient was not accurately expressing his wishes as if he was of sound mind. This is decision to override the patient’s wishes is consistent with Dworkin’s thoughts that…

advanced literary techniques, and the maturity needed to fully comprehend the story. There is a great amount of symbolic and allegorical meaning behind the explicit text. Throughout the entirety of the book, the contrast between dark and light are noted. Along with that, there are many different meanings that can be interpreted from the explicit text. For example, on page 67 of Heart of Darkness, Marlow states “It was paddled by black fellows. You…

According to Avery Gordon, haunting is a method of sociological research that the theorist describes and analyses in her book Ghostly Matters. Gordon explains haunting as following: “Haunting is a constituent element of modern social life It is neither pre-modern superstition nor individual psychosis; it is generalizable social phenomenon of great import” (Gordon, 2008, p.7) Haunting can be defined as phenomenon that reveals how the past is in the present. Gordon considers the aspect of…

The reading that I will respond this week is “Feminist Media Studies” by Mary Celeste Kearney. The reading focuses on production and promotion of A&E’s Rollergirls, a US docu-soap featuring the Texas Roller Derby Lonestar Rollergirls. It focuses on representation of feminine athleticism in Rollergirls as well as production and promotion elements of the show. The show is basically targeting male audience, since they promote the show as hot babes. It has nothing relate to the show and it focuses…

The second section will define and explain how Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) plays a role in schools if implemented with fidelity. The third section reviews literature of Character Education, and how character education and PBIS can work hand in hand for a terrific outcome. I will be comparing students from School White…

Additionally, a significant effect of self-esteem was found in the explicit measures of positive (p= .004) and negative emotion (p= .001). These results suggest that high self-esteem individuals claimed to have more positive emotions than negative emotions when measured explicitly. Moreover, significant two-way interaction…
