Gender norms play a very big role in society, both today, and in the past. Gender is defined by Merriam-Webster Dictionary as, “the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex”(30).

Casual sex is a very controversial topic. Many view casual sex as psychologically damaging, harmful to society, and even dangerous. But these critics fail to acknowledge the benefits of casual sex, especially from the perspective of women. In the essay, I will argue that women should have casual sex because it is ultimately empowering because it increases confidence, emotional stability, and releases inhibition. Casual sex allows women to be in control of their own sexuality and free from…

Along with this, I included an additional source that provided research on the concept of slut-shaming and connected their findings to my personal experience.

That’s how i felt. I still feel this way. I’ve felt this way ever since i was little. I guess all the words the kids would say, would reoccur in my head. “Ugly”, “Stupid”, “Nasty.” But as i got older into middle and high school it got worse. “Hoe”, “Slut” ,“Thot”, “Bitch.” There were nights where i would cry all night and nobody would hear. When i said nobody would hear, lowkey meant that nobody really cared to check on me in my room. A house filled with 5 people and not one came. I would go to…

Everything is political. Even when looking at a light hearted comedy, there are political elements that engulf the film. “Cinema/Ideology/Criticism” by Cornolli and Narboni explains this. An example is women’s representation in the film. If a director and writer follow the norms of female characters, it shows that they agree with the status quo of how a pop culture sees women. They did not make a political statement, but it is shown in their actions. A political theme across our films and…

Many victims often feel embarrassed of being assaulted or scared to come out to the public…

Privacy was once valued and protected. Diaries came with locks to keep the writer’s privately recorded thoughts from being read by others. Public telephones were enclosed in booths so that conversations would not be overheard. But now people feel free to post information about themselves on social networking web sites and carry on cell phone conversations in public places. In “Scenes from Exhibitionists”Hymowitz criticizes that girls who expose their privacy, especially the sexual contents, to…

The song “Coming Down” by Five Finger Death Punch uses ethos to appeal to its audience. Both the lyrics and the video use an abundance of emotions but you cannot understand one without the other. My first thought when hearing this song was that it was about one of two things, saving a life or ending one. These things very heavily contrast but the video confirmed my thoughts to be both true and false. The video begins with no music and very little sound. It starts off with a half naked girl…
