Mug shot

Police Officers tend to have a bad reputation with the popular culture for a couple of years, but who are you calling when an issue arises? Police officers are not terrible people there is always that one in the group that tends to ruin the imagery for the rest of the people in that category. The purpose for this textual analysis is to show how perplexing sexual assault can be as in who it involves and affects. A source that wrote about this critical situation was SFGate and after reading their…

The participants totaled to sixty-two voters—22 women and 40 men. They were shown a 40 second video of 80 mug shots of Black and White male inmates. To account for racial disparities, the examiners manipulated the ratio of Black to White inmates by either making the racial disparities more extreme or less extreme. (In the less-Black condition, Black inmates were…

Most people have fears of monsters and ghouls attacking them in dreams as a young child. As an African-American, the horror is a lot more realistic in many cases. No reports have shown anyone being killed by a monster or a ghoul. However, countless black men and women have lost their lives to police brutality and racism. A traffic stop shouldn’t be a dangerous event, but too often it has, and because of this many lives have been lost due to racism in our country. Now of course, the racism, and…

crime in the media, specifically how women are portrayed in that subject. What I found really surprising was the amount of bias against men in the media, regardless of the political leanings of the source or where it was written. Where men would get mug shots, women would get selfies, which, as a feminist, I found atrocious. This clear injustice against men is a clear example of the double standards in today’s society, with all the people claiming that women have it so hard and that “white cis…

Brent Lawrence Welding was at the time, in his early thirties. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and likes to think of himself as “right” because he’s “white.” an open white supremacist who covered the windows with “the south will rise” posters and confederate flags to hide the sun and showed me the barn where he made meth was the man I came to know in a span of 5 months, and was arguably the closest thing I ever had to a father figure. This known con man was my mom's current boyfriend, and after…

Side”. Tupac had many rivalries with rappers, producers, and record label companies. Most notably with Biggie Smalls (a.k.a “The Notorious B.I.G”) and “Bad Boy Records”.

the stolen cash out of her purse to pay for a car, she is staged to stand right by the mirror. Because there literally two Marion’s in the shot, it directly depicts the duality of her character -- being someone who committed a crime and is hiding from it. This happens once again when Marion checks into the motel. While she is writing an alias to sign in, the shot once again shows two Marion 's to describe the multiple identities that Marion has now taken on. Even after Marion is killed, the…

developing a show with them. Did you say you were in the entertainment industry as well?” My heart sank, it was decision time, do I double down, do I confess, do I create a diversion by knocking down a display of commemorative Los Angeles Starbucks coffee mugs? I gathered myself -- I bucked the fuck up, and conjured up some intestinal fortitude (a very finite resource of mine I might add) and I dive “Write” in -- “I’m a writer…” I emphatically declared, then mid sentence I was blindsided by a…

The TV show “survivor” has seen massive growth and global recognition for 14 years (2000-till date). It has remained one of the leading series in reality television. Its growth and expansion has allowed lots of spin-offs around the world which includes countries such as the UK, Philippines, Australia, South Africa and so on. Jordan (2014) argued that the worldwide proliferation of reality television is a product of the increasing concentration of ownership in the television industry, the…

The way we act in our daily lives have to do with the norms and roles we are faced with. We do not act the same way in front of our managers the same way we act with our friends, we take on roles with the different types of people or environment we are in. Roles are the expectations of a person’s behavior based on their social status. When I am with my brother I take on the role of his sister, so when we are at home, I pick on him, start pointless arguments with him just for fun, we mock each…
