In the 1930’s the word woman was often treated as a synonym for kind, considerate, modest, and fragile. However, not all women were submissive and gentle. Yet, they acted as if they were in order to fit in with this ideal of what people thought a woman was. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the author portrays how women were conflicted with the stereotype that comes along with being a woman. Women during the 1930’s had little career options, rules of femininity to follow, and a strict social…

This research question is worthy of study because through the years the media has become a huge part of our society and holds a great influence over us. Media will only continue to flourish with time, appealing to more and more people. Since the media influences many people , you have to think about what exactly is being promoted. Although 36% of the population consists of ethnic minorities only 10% of that is currently shown in media. In other words, the media continues to lack in diversity.…

Indeed, you discover a new area – for me it was the United Kingdom creative industries as well as the umbrella position of the Creative Industries Federation. It is also the discovering of a new position and attributions. For that purpose I will discuss of the intern position which I assume it could be a…

During this unit I attended a primary school to work with some children that are learning English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD). I worked with two children, Z and B. After talking to their teacher I found out that Z had been at the school for the semester and did not respond to any English or try to communicate in English at all.
