My father, Robert Byers, was born and raised around Coquille, Oregon. In 1982 he attended Roseburg High School, the public school every student in and around Roseburg went to. At the time he attended the school, from ‘82 to ‘86, around 2,000 students attended with him. Roseburg High School has an open campus much like a college. Students were free to do whatever they like on and off campus during the school day. Roseburg has walking trails around the city, and many connected to the schools so…

Popular Culture: Perpetuating Fat and Slut Shaming Popular culture is notorious for many things, but the portrayal of the obese and the portrayal of women have the most influence in my life. The twisted ideals that have been held up for years have molded my mindset and my self esteem through popular tv shows, movies, music, and toys. For example most girls grew up playing with Barbie and Ken dolls, but as a little girl I was never allowed to get Barbies because they were too expensive. I was…

In many restaurants today numerous people can see that there are more waitresses instead of waiters. “In other words, waiting on tables is defined as typical ‘women’s work’ because women perform it and because the work activities are considered ‘feminine’” (Hall, 329). Why? Why is this position considered something that only women should be preforming?

Legalized gambling shouldn’t be considered a controversial issue because 86% of Americans believe they have the right to gamble with their own money. Hence, the moral outrage against legalized gambling is primarily a function of the extreme religious right wing. One of their most influential crusaders has been William Bennett, who affected a number of government policies from within the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administration. For instance, while serving as Bush’s drug czar, he suggested…

“Being a good student is less about the ability to rote and more about the desire to learn”. There may be a few people who live and repeat that quote every day; sad to say Kelton McGee is not one of those people. All people can be good successful students, if they try hard and use self discipline to push them self harder. If you are a person who wants to keep your life on track, it takes hard work, determination, and patience. Everyone wants to be successful until it’s time to do the things that…

of the media encouraging the objectification of women is the well-known restaurant Hooters. While on the clock, waitresses (who can legally only be female) are dressed in revealing clothing that accentuates their sexually desired body parts (Szymanski 25). In contrast however, any male employees (i.e. cooks, managers, janitors) are not required to wear clothing that draws attention to any particular body part. Hooters also advertises with women in these outfits; and, when men see the women on…

As I gazed at the neon illuminating from the scoreboard, I felt mentally drained and overworked by the effort poured into this game. With every step I took towards the dented, bench the gymnasium only shrunk in size, making my body feel restricted and short of breath. I felt out place, as if I was lost in my own backyard. The smell of popcorn from the stands diminished, the shrill from the sneakers gliding on the polished hardwood weakened and the tension from the crowd grew with time…
