Left-handedness

Cultural appropriation is defined as the adoption of elements of one culture by members of a different cultural group especially if the adoption is without the consent of the originating culture. The dominant group is usually always the one to exploit the less privileged group, without having any prior knowledge of the items or piece of culture in question that are being appropriated.

Laura is writing in the newspaper and is still writing poems. She lives in the same neighourhood, just a few houses away from her childhood home. Rachel on the other hand is a veterinarian. She…

are the two E’s we have to fight between. For decades now, there has been a war to stop climate change, but to do this we would have to sacrifice our economy. This has become one of the various topics that has caused a polarization of America. The left wants to protect the environment for future generations but the right wants to protect the economy for future generations. This isn’t an easy decision by no means for either side but the decision must be made and it must be now. If we don’t make…

difficulty that certain normal activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) would have on my day. My experience consisted of an eye-patch covering up my left eye for 12 hours. Some of the activities I found to be the more difficult were: putting on make-up, tying my left shoe, focusing on the television, walking downstairs, focusing on a PowerPoint in class, and riding in a car. Riding in a car was the most difficult. Before the experiment I have been…

As my friend pulled forward to approach the light, I noticed a car to the right of me. It did not seem like he had enough time to stop at his stop sign and before I knew it he had hit the side of the car where I was sitting. My head whipped to the left so hard that it knocked the spit out of my mouth and had splattered all over the windshield. Our car spun out but luckily my friend had stopped it right before it had crossed into the highway, luckily. The other vehicle continued to accelerate…

“screeners” could come up with inaccurate results that could lessen educational opportunities among some. In addition, acts such as No Child Left Behind are being not only altered but replaced. Most recently has been the signing of the Every Student Succeeds Act, and it will go into effect during the 2017-2018 school year, and it fully replaces the No Child Left Behind Act (Klein, 2016). There is a slight discord to the establishment of the new law. There is a claim that ESSA does more to…

In this visual we can see the letter ‘M’ with a big scale and a slogan at its bottom; a fries box in the middle of the billboard, in front of the fries box we have another text and on its right we have a clown holding a knife in his right hand. The billboard seem like it is placed on the highway. Verbal Aspects Analysis I’m hatin’ it: Verbal sign The message behind this text: The masthead of…

On a sunny and beautiful day, Sally was riding home in a school bus because her mom just couldn’t get off work early enough to pick her up. She doesn’t mind though, because it’s been a pretty amazing day overall with her acing the reading test she was so worried about, finishing all her homework while waiting for the bus, and she still has plans to go to the movies later with some friends. With all the excitement she starts to daydream. Almost automatically, without thought, while getting off…

While over the course of this semester we have touched upon a large majority of what goes into Media Studies as well as what entails genre theory. With that being said, I went into class last week with a more negative mindset than a positive one, knowing we were going to see a Disney animation. Although, I walked away from the lecture and the movie, in a much more positive and enlightened than I ever expected. Much of this enlightenment was due to the connections to which Moana and cultural…
