century, Arkansas began to grow closer to the modern image that the rest of the United States had seemed to obtain. Although Arkansas’ process of growth was much slower than the rest of the country, the state did begin to catch up and dive into the mainstream. Arkansas developed economically, politically, and culturally by means of businesses that blossomed within the state, politicians that rose to the occasion, and the process of urbanization within the cities around the state, helping…

Inclusion does not necessarily have a single definition; it is a complex concept, which can be interpreted in various ways. The definition of inclusion varies on the group that is being focused on, for example gender, race, disability and sex. It can also vary on the setting where it occurs, for example the school, workplace and the community (Kuegel, 2014). Reid (2005) suggests that inclusion in the context of public education can be defined as matching the available resources to the learning…

combine the Aesthetic customer and the Social/Emotional customer this would capture 70% of the niche market. Based on target consumer that would be able to purchase a $10.00 to $12.00 razor the niche market can be the test market before going to mainstream. It is not recommended that so many funds go towards one product that has not hit the market yet.

Caste and Female Autobiographies: The majority of the mainstream society in Maharashtra was residing at villages. The caste system had arranged the people in the typical hierarchy. The caste was equivalent to surnames of the people. All of the people from different caste identity lived together like one big family, particularly at the villages like Jalalpur. (Tilak 68) No doubt, they followed the laws of untouchability. But they did not dominate one another through the caste system. Laxmibai…

certainly not my intention to elaborate in great detail what mainstream media is, how they work, which effects they have, et cetera. Following Chomsky (1997) in ‘What makes mainstream media mainstream’ I define mainstream media as the media that are distributed through the largest distribution channels causing them to represent what the majority of media consumers are likely to encounter. It is vital to acknowledge that these mass or mainstream media do not operate in a vacuum but interact…

My first understanding of subculture is that it is considered as deviant, the anti-mainstream. Nothing more nothing less. Since it bears negative meaning, I mostly think subculture as troublesome. However, Hebdige’s discussion in his book Subculture: the Meaning of Style enriches and for the most part is able to provide a complete overview on what subcultures are. Hebdige’s final remark on subcultures is not quite different from the definition I have at the first place but he gives a more…

broadcasts, and in the academic literature that discusses Idle No More. Morris (2014) highlights that the movement was focused on improving Canadian Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination (p. 251). She also discusses that this aspect is ignored in mainstream media as critics focus on Idle No More’s lack of organization and failure to accomplish its goals of opposing Bills C-38 and C-45 (p. 249, 255).
