He constantly confirmed his points by giving hard facts and supporting them with evidence. The most important facts in the documentary were so explicit because Spurlock presented them in an exciting and eye-catching manner to intrigue his intended audiences- mostly kids, young adults, and parents.

For example, when Spurlock shows how much money food companies spend on advertisements per year, the animation was not…

Many individuals in this day and age believe the ideals of feminism are no longer necessary. The fact that society has made vast strides to the equality of many different individuals makes it seem that injustice is a thing of the past, and that any kind of change in our attitudes of one another is highly unneeded.

Thus, the birth of Godzilla, a mutated monster born from extreme exposure to radiation, also heavily relies on international influence, albeit a negative one.

European affairs, especially with the Alien and Sedition Acts. Along with the Alien and Sedition Acts, the Louisiana Purchase and Embargo of 1807 heavily influenced America as well, however, on a smaller level.

This essay will analyze the music video You Belong With Me by artist Taylor Swift. Focused on examining the stereotype of women competing with one another for the male attention and romance. Expanding on cultivation theory defined by Gerber and Gross (1976), I will argue the video displays a fictional reality which can shape misconceptions of social reality.
