Girl group

the personalities of every group member, rather the types of femininity that is presented in these music videos. Especially in its second wave, or what is known as hallyu 2.0. Hallyu 2.0 which used social media as a podium and allowed K-pop to have an increasing number of followers and fans all around the world (Jin). This paper is not about creating unexciting meanings to a commodity that many argue that it did not have any deep meanings (Lie, 141). It is more of encoding to the signifiers that is carried in these images, which a product of a certain culture. Also, this paper is not about the investigation whether women are objectified in K-pop or not? The truth is the question of objectification became trivial when talking about selling a commodity, especially when it is through one’s physical appearance. Trivial not in the sense that it does not matter, but more of that will be just stating the obvious. Moreover, this paper will not discuss the legal or ethical issues that some may see in these music videos, and in the K-pop industry as a…

People will receive many benefits if they join the right group. However, if they try to join a group that they do not belong, they will have some difficult times. Since group is a part of human lives, it can be found in many places. For example, in Man of Mode, a 17th century play, there is a group of upper-class London citizens led by the witty and fashionable Dorimant. And, in Mean Girls, a 2004 film, there is “the plastics” led by mean and pretty Regina George. Both works talk about someone…

What if there were girls on the Lord of the Flies island? Maybe there would be all girls, an equal amount of girls to boys, or just one girl. What would change? In Lord of the Flies, there is a group of boys stranded on an island, and they eventually split into two groups: savagery and civility. However, with girls on the island, everything would change. What if there were no boys on the island; only girls? The girls would most likely have a lot more order that the boys did. Also, they…

all of my time of attending Homedale Middle School, I have witnessed many groups of students more increasingly each year. I supposed that each year I become more aware and observant of the life around me--specifically, others’ lives. Some cliques I see only outside, playing football or staying far out into the fields. But others I see every day, chatting in class, eating together at lunch, or even rough-housing in the hallways between periods, which causes chaos for everyone else and blocks our…

two children will grow or develop the same making every case different. It amazes me at the similarities and differences in each child, similarities in both boys and girls. In my group setting I saw about 65-75 kids mixed of boys and girls. Within the first fifteen minutes of each class I was able to pick out what students were at the top of the classes, what students were at the bottom of classes, and who was mature and who was not mature. I chose to observe children ages seven to ages…

Eating Disorders: Bulimia and Anorexia Introduction Eating disorders are common amongst young girls. These girls are exposed to unrealistic body images and are expected to meet the qualifications of having the perfect body. In all parts of the world, especially the United States and Japan, preadolescent and adolescent girls are victims of this social pressure concerning the body. In order to meet the ideal of beauty and perfection, girls and many young women have turned to harsh diet programs,…

Classifying Classifying others is typically viewed negatively, as if we are stereotyping them, but occasionally classifying groups can help us better understand these groups with a broad view of how the people in these groups function together. Cliques can be very easily classified, but doing this without stereotyping can be difficult. When classifying, it will either be positive or negative, and the way we classify others will determine the outcome. Rosalind Wiseman's essay, "The Queen Bee…

three very profound ways to describe the young girls the Brownie troop had encountered. In the short-story “Brownies” there is a fine line between being a positive and negative role model. Arnetta is a very persuading young lady who we are introduced to early in the story. Although the story is told through the view of “Snot” (Packer 56), we see how the author illustrates the essentialness of how admiring someone can lead to a dishonoring conclusion. In the story of a group of girls who are…

Examining the Legend of Bloody Mary and the Relationship to Young Girls Nikyra Capson Bloody Mary has become a hoax associated with the coming of age for pre-teen girls and has multiple versions and different roots depending on the context on which it is given. A hoax is a legend used by the teller to alter certain behaviors of the listeners, usually by fear.

this observation, my main objective was how play influences social development, friendship formation and social interactions. This observation took place at the Brookhaven Head Start Center on February, 2016. In this group of preschoolers there was about an equal amount between boys and girls; to make a total of 20 preschoolers in the classroom setting. The very first thing I completed was observing them in the classroom during story time, station time and singing songs while they were dancing. …
