Voyeurism

Objectification is a term often used to describe how women are seen not as beings but as things. As John Berger describes in “Ways of Being,” women have historically been objectified by men. Much literature and academic essays have been written about the objectification of women; however, we can also see gendered politics in new media and art, as in Laurie Simmons’ new exhibition at the Jewish Museum, “How We See.” The exhibit explores how women are identified internally and externally, and how…

Digital technology has opened many holes in which the government can peak into peoples’ lives. It has blurred the line between what is considered public and private information. These technologies come in many forms such as, facial recognition technology, GPS tracking devices, drones, surveillance cameras, and devices used by the NSA to collect information. These technologies are abused everyday by authorities and government officials, and it is time to set limitations on how they use them.…

beginning of the novel, Noburu’s Oedipus complex is apparent. He watches his mother, Fusako, undress, noticing that “her slender body, shapely from playing tennis every week, was beautiful” (7). Without a father to curb this behavior, Noburu’s voyeurism goes on unchecked. The chief takes advantage of Noburu’s lack of sexual development, advocating behaviors associated with phallic stage fixation. He maintains that “all six of us are geniuses” (161) exploiting Noburu’s penchant for vanity. The…

hiring the homeless and touring these areas could be dangerous and unethical; environmental hazards and unstable individuals could pose unpredictable threats to both the tourists and the tour guide. Poverty tourism is also often “criticized as voyeurism and exploitation” due its commercialization of poverty as a tourist commodity (Meschkank, 2011, p. 48). However, the homeless employed by Hidden City Tours in Barcelona, Spain are exclusively selected by a Barcelona based homeless charity and…

When I think of sports, school and society I think of my childhood and how much sports played a part in success, failure and learning about the importance of teammates discipline and patience. Sports are a distraction from everyday issues and were an important part of my life that I will never forget. Sports in society were focused on men only and now women are starting to play a prominent role. Not only are sports important in everyday life, but also sports are a method to sustain society…

There are many difficulties with anthropology and taking a narrow view, led me to ask at the start of the course in my tutorial presentation “Is Anthropology and Ethnography worthwhile?” Difficulties with suspicion of intellectual voyeurism such as in Margret Mead’s "Coming of Age in Samoa”, did it sell because it was scientific or because it titillated. There is difficulties as revisionist view that it is just cultural imperialism for it seems to be a western study of people under colonial…

From an early age, many are intensely interested in voyeurism, fetishism, and sado-masochistic pornography. These are some clues that at a young age a murderers mind starts to evolve. The victims of murders usually have the same kind of way or something in common like their race, appearance, age or sex. Most serial killers are very intelligent and know what they are doing.
