“Bonsai!” Go ahead, rush to the comment section with your hate-filled rants, it won’t bother me one bit, because this is my list and not yours. Now, for those who have decided to take the time tohear me out, this folks, is the single greatest form artistic representation of 2017. While Twin Peaks: The Return is a prescribed continuation of the TV series that ended over 25 years ago, The Return does not conform to any previous modes of television, including its prior two seasons. With that being said, ever since Cahiers du Cinéma named Lynch’s latest masterpiece the best film of 2017, it made me really reconsider whether The Return was more of a show or film. On that basis, it is in my belief that Twin Peaks: The Return is neither television nor film — yet at the same time, is both television and film. When I say this, what I really mean is, The Return transcends both modes of visual expression, but embodies both mediums at a pioneering level of intricacy and execution. Many will crucify me for demeaning the medium of television as a form of art equitable to film. But, with this amount of depth, sophistication of character development, non-linear storytelling and the level of patience required for the numerous dialogue-less segments, what is experienced during The Return’s 18 hours is hardly just television, it is in fact, quite the cinematic experience. Nonetheless, the odds of anything like The Return ever being made again are slim. The Return is an anomaly to what is…

A Woman’s Balancing Act: Personal vs. Professional Success Christine L. Curley, ENG 101 Central Michigan University Sheryl Sandberg, author of “Lean in: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid” (Graff, pg. 642-658, 2015) presents a compelling argument that although opportunities for women in the workplace have increased, many women do not take leadership roles because balancing a career with family is too difficult. Sandberg goes on to state that this difficulty with work-life balance can be…

In Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, Sheryl Sandberg (2013) discusses some of the most prominent issues affecting women and their careers. Factors including stereotyping, gender roles, and inequality were the most compelling subjects in this book. She identifies the reason why women struggle to be in leadership positions. In fact, women are seen negatively if they want to succeed in their careers as males do. Sandberg merges personal narratives, statistics, and research to reveal the…

Why Sheryl Sandberg would be a great role model for my Young Daughters One morning, like any other school day, I was walking side by side in lock step with my 8 year old daughter. She turned my side, looked up and asked me, “Dad, who is a good woman leader?” Behind those simple words, I sensed she was looking for role models. And Sheryl Sandberg image flashed in front of me. As I dropped my daughter and walked back – I wondered why Sheryl was my option A. I grew up in South India. I…

For my final topic, I decided to further explore women’s role in the workplace. It is a matter that clearly affects me first-hand, being a female; and I find the topic particularly interesting and relevant. Women have made tremendous progress in the last 100 years; including the right to vote around 1920, wives no longer being viewed as “possessions” of their husbands, and particularly, their role in the professional workforce. I was increasingly captivated with this subject after reading…

Tiana Orozco Section 29 Rough Draft 1 No Limits on Freedom In many developing, and even developed countries, women are not always given the same opportunities to succeed as men. In order for a woman to succeed, she must have the freedom to make her own choices. This way she can do what is beneficial to her and what will allow her to live the life she imagined for herself. In addition, when a woman is given agency, she not only benefits from it, but the economy and later generations do as well.…

caliber as any man in a similar position. In reading the study, I felt frustration and a desire to change things. Admittedly, a small part of me thought that this is all so unfair and the odds are so against us that it seems too overwhelming to pursue a career in a high position – no matter how much I want it. Fortunately, that small part of my mind is overshadowed by the desire to make a contribution to the efforts of changing things. I know that many other women with similar desires to mine…

stipulate a time for each job. Being effective all the time in the workplace will maintain the calm on the bosses. 5. Returning to work after a few weeks with a newborn is emotionally hard, and no everyone can do it; it is why many women quit their jobs. There is a law that grants the right to women to have an average of six weeks after the baby is born. However, many women are afraid to leave their workplace because they do not want to lose their jobs. Nevertheless, most of the companies and…

I have heard many stories of unethical decisions being made and how Wall Street is a “Boy’s Club.” The Wall Street Journal stories that I have followed are, Sacrificing Ethical Values Bugs Women More Than Men, by John Carney and Sheryl Sandberg: Women Are Leaning in—but They Face Pushback, by Sheryl Sandberg. They are both great articles that discuss different female’s experiences and ethical dilemmas they faced while working on Wall Street. Throughput the semester I have met amazing leaders. I…

In “Lean in: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?” by Sheryl Sandberg the main topic is feminism based upon her point of view and research. Throughout her work she states the general struggles that come from being a woman in the world. In her work she does not seem very one sided on how to change what women are going through now but instead just saying what women do now that doesn’t work now a day. Before this Sandberg wrote “lean in” there had never been a feminist work on the New York…
