Homophobia

As a child, one will not have their own set of opinions or beliefs; one will have what they have been taught. A three year old child will not walk down the street, see two men holding hands, and decide to roll their eyes and comment on how disgusting it is; however, a fifty year old person may. Society teaches people morals as they are something we are not born knowing. What is considered morally good or bad is an opinion, and though we are taught these morals growing up, opinions can change. As…

The starting point for my inspiration to work on this piece derived from week 2’s lesson on Politics, Activism, and Performance and the reading ‘Making a Performance’ (2007). In particular I found the activity in which, as a class, we had to collaboratively discuss a controversial issue inspired by one of the examples we have been looking at. As a stem for my creative proposal, I can originate some inspiration from the ‘Lush Campaign’. The use of shock and awe to spread message, I believes,…

father a homophobic? In the book we can’t be sure but in the movie we can definitely see in his attitude. Of course not as much as Ennis’s father was, who died before the story started and we don’t know much about him but Jack never experienced homophobia in a way Ennis was. My point with this returns to the study, Ennis and Jack lived in a same place and time but they come from a different family background. This and his tough childhood could be the reason why Ennis whole character was more…

Ever wonder who can make those pesky feminists get triggered to the max while accelerating the Trump Train at the same time. Ever wonder who was one of the main players in smashing the mainstream media. Did you ever think about who caused the those special little snowflakes to get triggered at rutgers. Well that person is Milo, Milo Yiannopoulos a british gay conservative, and while others may despise him, I admire him. Milo and his constant fight against the feminists, BLM, PC cops and White…

I have been an “honors” student since the fifth grade. After graduating high school, I had no intention of purposefully participating in anymore advanced or gifted or honors classes, anything more rigorous than normal was ultimately not on my radar. After all, these are the type of classes I had known my entire school career. Nonetheless, I was slightly disappointed when I found out that students were invited to join the honors college on immediate acceptance to Georgia State and I had not been…

First off I want to say, that this was the hardest movie I have ever watched in my life, seeing what all those women and men had to go through was heartbreaking and knowing that when they were fighting their cases that I was in basic training. Thinking about it now, that this could have happened to me, I could have been one of the thousands of women who were sexually assaulted and still are being sexually assaulted in the Military. This movie was about women and men speaking out about what had…
