I have had the opportunity to work alongside Nurses for many years. In a medical field mostly dominated by men, the important role of nurses is often overlooked. Nurses are the backbone of medicine. Not only do they bring a unique skill. There is a compassionate, devotion, and dedication to the job that is unmatched. I believe nurses are underpaid and underappreciated, yet they continue to set the bar in their duties and responsibilities. So naturally whenever there is a new nursing tv show, I…

The Real Power of Wealth Jaden Smith, the son of rapper/actor Will Smith and actress Jada Pinkett Smith, lives a life most people cannot imagine. To him, the world is his oyster, or, as he prefers, his petri dish. “Me and Willow [his younger sister] are scientists,” he told GQ, “so everything for us is a scientific test upon humanity. And luckily we're put in a position where we can affect large groups of human beings at one time.” He loves to post random and/or provocative things on Twitter…

Traditional gender roles are individuals’ behaviors seen from men and women in those old movies. While there are many differences today, these forms of behavior have left a permanent effect on society and our thoughts about men and women. In American culture, masculine roles have usually been associated with strength, belligerence, and dominance in the relationship, while feminine roles have usually been associated with passivity, fostering, loving and caring.

Hollywood has had a long, difficult history of racism. Although the obvious racism comes in many different forms, a prevalent type is whitewashing. Whitewashing is when a character of color is portrayed by a Caucasian person instead. One of the most famous instances of whitewashing was in 1961 in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The Japanese character Mr. Yunioshi was portrayed by the white actor Mickey Rooney, complete with horrifyingly buck teeth, yellowed skin, pinched eyes, and an offensive…

This women is a rapper, songwriter, singer, actress, model, television producer, record producer, and talk show host. She is even an activist for women rights.

entertainers from getting any recognition? This deeply cut into the long going conversation about opportunities in entertainment for people of color and inequalities between white and black actors in the entertainment industry. Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, actor Will Smith, and director Spike Lee boycotted this year’s Oscars because of the lack of diversity in nominations. Many people in the United States today do not see that the lack of people of color nominations as a result of racism.…

differently. “That man over there says women need to be helped into carriages and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place anywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman?” (Smith, 2011) While white women have been historically treated as fragile creatures in need of male aid and service, black women have often been treated as unnaturally sturdy and mulish, and not in need of the same service or care (Springer, 2007,…

In the last decade, Americans have become increasingly aware of the opportunity and wage gaps between racial minorities and females and their Caucasian, male counterparts. One of the areas most affected by this prejudice is the film industry in Hollywood. In this industry, talented members of minorities receive significantly fewer speaking parts and smaller wages than members of the majority. We must put an end to this troublesome trend because every actor deserves to experience the same chance…
