Standing wave

The roles are Provider, Teacher, Bridge-builder, Mediator, Arbiter, Equalizer, Healer, and Witness. I believe that the Veterans who helped out at Standing Rock play the role of a Peacekeeper. The role of a peacekeeper in William Ury’s the Third Side is to provide safety and peace to vulnerable victims that are easily opened for attack. The protestors are easily prone for attack because they are far…

many things that I would not think about on a daily basis outside of school. Our lessons made me think in new ways about different concepts. The two things that made me most interested were learning about the Dakota Access Pipeline involving the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the requirements for voting for the President of the United States. DAPL made me more aware of our environment and realize how one thing could drastically affect so many areas of our world. It also made me see that there…

Beginning in July of 2016 and continuing on to the present day, protesters have been actively camped out near Cannon Ball, North Dakota; protesting as, or in solidarity with, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North and South Dakota. Calling themselves “Water Protectors”, they are actively protesting a 1,172-mile long oil pipeline being built by a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners named Dakota Access (Time 1). The pipeline is proposed to run diagonally from Stanley, North Dakota all the way…

n utilised in their own works. Though “the young French cinema indirectly reproached Hollywood’s long-established narratives and restricted storyline subterfuges” (Lanzoni, 206), the French New Wave directors also had a longstanding appreciation for directorial greats like Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang and Orson Welles. Each film was an exercise in honouring great filmmakers, and any other hero of the director: writers, great thinkers and even Hollywood actors, through countless references in…

Body dissatisfaction is so common among women that it is considered a normative female experience (Knobloch-Westerwick & Crane, 2012). Nearly half of American women experience poor body image (Peterson, Tantleff-Dunn, & Bedwell, 2006). Not only does body dissatisfaction prompt women to attempt to control their weight and shape through dieting (Groesz, Levine, & Murnen, 2002), but it is strongly correlated with eating disorder symptoms (Peterson et al., 2006). Furthermore, body dissatisfaction…

do we need?” This is a plain indicator that the person speaking has absolutely no idea what the goals are of the third-wave of feminism. First wave feminism focused on the voting rights, property rights, and influence within the family and society. For the beginning of feminism, these were direct and well-liked goals. According to the in-class textbook, In Their Time, first-wave feminism’s “participants were largely white and middle-class, their goals reflected their desire for self-fulfillment…

Oppression comes in many forms. It can be very apparent or very subtle. There are many forms of oppression that are overlooked as “it’s not that bad” or “they’ve come a long way. Why should we bother?”. One unnoticed form of oppression is sexism and women discrimination. This type of oppression effects nearly half the world’s population and isn’t being addressed adequately however, there strides have been made. In an effort to fight both sexism and women inequality the Feminist Movement came to…

In the 19th century, a new wave called Feminism was born. At the time no one knew how successful or unsuccessful it would become. Feminism held a massive effect on the females’ lives in society and regular day to day. It all began due to the inequality between men and women. Women were always assumed to stay home and clean and cook and raise children. It was unlikely for a woman to do anything but that. Feminism is the belief in social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. The…

The Auteur Theory, is the idea that the true author of a film is the director. The director leaves an implicit remark on the film and because of this cinematic, literary, or thematic signature, they are credited as the author of the film. While there are numerous people involved in the production of a film, with some directors it is truly prominent who can be described as the author of the film. Mel Brooks, renown comical director and screenwriter is one instance of the undeniability of the…
