Bones can be considered a progressive series of our time. It is a forensic anthropologist called Dr.Temperance Brennan. She is a woman that solves murders with her team at the Jeffersonian. Her partner is called Agent Booth from the FBI. The TV series can be described as being sexist yet Misogyny. In this paper, I will deconstruct each character with sociological lenses. It will analyze how each character reacts to others and events. It will demonstrate how the show has objectified women and justified objection among strong female characters. The main character of the show, Dr.Temperance Brennan, is represented as a profoundly intelligent and knowledgeable woman who has a robot like and emotionless attitude throughout all the seasons.…
An example of this is when Dr. Brennan presents him with solid facts about that case that point directly to the senator. It is not only Booth’s view of Dr. Brennan’s team as “squints,” but also his support for the United States and the discrimination he would receive for searching the senator’s house that clouds his judgement. After thinking through his actions and thinking about the victim, he realizes that it is his duty to find the criminal. This television series is not just about Dr.…
I started watching NCIS when I was eleven or twelve, and since then I have strived to be more like Abby Sciuto. Abby is the definition of “never judge a book by it’s cover.” While she may seem scary and intimidating dressing in all black with several visible tattoos, she is the most down to earth, intelligent woman that I have ever seen on a television show. She is a forensic scientist who works at NCIS and her skills are vital to every single case they solve. She is well versed in forensic…
summer assignment in West Philadelphia, it was not difficult for me to blend in with the community. I came from a Corps similar to West Philly Corps; they are located in the heart of the urban community where gun shots bark like dogs' night and day. The people here are without a job, lots of single parents and abundances of poverty. I have never lived in such neighborhoods, but going to the Corps in my home town. I grow up seeing the distress of these people and the need for social service. I…
The founder being William Booth. Booth is also the man who started the uniforms, he said “we are a volunteer army” so in 1878 the uniforms were made so that people could also trust that they didn’t give their money to thieves/conmen. Now what does the officer, who wears thee uniform do? An officer is to give a helping and when necessary, spread the word of god and teach it to the world, also an officer is to help others overcome hardship. Becoming an officer is not just a two-day thing…
The moment that my father invested into a photo booth was the moment that I would begin to develop the skill of hard work. This skill would in time lead me to become a better person. Up until 2013, only occasionally would my guardian require my assistance with his work. I could either carry bags in or out of the house or support him in setting up. When my father bought a photo booth in 2013, that simple work that I did periodically would increase dramatically. I was not an experienced worker at…

If John Wilkes Booth had been raised in the North and not the South, he would not have had such extreme views and would not have killed Abraham Lincoln. One could argue that something like this is predestined in a person, or that nature comes before nurture. However, the way Booth was raised clearly had a big part in leading up to his attempted kidnapping and following that, his assassination of America’s sixteenth president. His views radically contradicted those of Lincoln, and when, where,…

Then Booth entered and shot Lincoln with a .44 caliber gun…
