groups, there must be an examination of the intersection of race, gender, class, religion, and sexual orientation (Schramm-Pate, 2017). During the 19th century, the abolition and suffrage movements excluded African American women from both discussions (hooks, 1981).

Representing the Poor an essay from her book Outlaw Culture: Resisting Representation are influenced from her own background experiences. In this essay Hooks shares with us how the media often judge the poor as lazy human beings, dishonest and without any morals or values; without knowing that their judgments are generalizations and in most cases wrong. Hooks talks about her life at home where she learned at an early age from her grandma that “it was better to be poor than to compromise ones…

media owners might have an economic power to craft media texts with particular messages. Since everyone has different experiences and ways of interpreting things, then the audience will have different opinions on what a text represents. For example, hooks sees Beyoncé’s Lemonade album as a superlative ode to capitalism. While on the surface, it is easy to dismiss Beyoncé’s inspiration to solely derive from her husband’s alleged cheating, there really are so many subtle and blatant nods to…

Life comes with tough times and usually we expect a lot more than what we get depending on what the person is doing, when we stay humble we learn the values of taking our time in life and making something good out of nothing and in the end it ends up being the best decision we make.

choice of food to eat. But wait, how do they get all that meat and fish? These tribes had a lot of tools to use. The Inuit used harpoons (a hook that is attached to a long rope) to hunt fish like whales. They used jewelry to trade for metals and used bone-hooks and knives for hunting. Yet, the Haida used bows, arrows, shares and harpoons to hunt, and net, hooks and harpoons for fishing. These two tribes also used knives to carve things like wood, stone (this is what the Haida does) and…
