Billy, an eleven-year-old boy is characterized as energetic, caring, and loyal. In the film’s opening, we are shown his love for dancing as a foreshadowing of events…

Some may assume that women get taken advantage of in history instead of literature, but women have always been the “lesser” gender when it comes to actions and qualities. Many actions have always been known as a ‘man’s job’, such as when it comes to fighting, defending, etc. Women are still seen as second to the male figures in today’s world. In the epic poem Beowulf, Grendel’s Mother and Welthow convey how in this time period gender roles of women are depicted by men due to the women acting as…

However, she seems to consider not how scopophilia can be a sensation felt by a woman, nor how she can also be the barer of the same gaze that a man may give. It is also discussed that, perhaps, men are unable to even receive the gaze, suggesting them to be hypocritical beings. Through the works of Sarah Morris (Miami), Cindy Sherman (Untitled Film Still #2) and VALIE EXPORT (Tap and Touch Cinema) a discussion of evidence will start to form in order to decide whether Mulvey’s projection of the…

employer made up reasons to cut down her pay. Yulia knows that her employer is mistreating her but she does not complain.

Color Of The Rainbow When we think of men crying we usually pair it with certain events like the death of a family member or the day their children are born. Soft males are men who show emotion and are sensitive people. Being themselves emphasizes a man is brave enough to show he has a heart. People believe real men should never cry but in reality all humans show emotions at some breaking point; therefore, men have every right to be soft males. David Buchbinder, in his book Studying Men and…

Mccarthy survival plays a big role but not the main. A man and his son carry the fire throughout the book. In the road the world everyone once knew had turned to a wasteland.

They believe that there is still good humanity elsewhere; though it is tough to remain sane in a world like this. The boy and the man believe if they “carry the fire” their luck…

Buck Angel’s “The Power Of My Vagina” illustrates the difficulty humans encounter living in a society where our bodies are owned, policed and subjected to follow the norms due to the social construct attached to a single word. To better understand the way in which a society “owns” our bodies from a simple construct of a word, we examine multiple perspectives from people of different races, genders, geography, and backgrounds. From literally being owned due to the social construct of race, to…
