X-rated

sex has been a heavily debated topic, both on and off the screen. In the early 1970s, a kiss on screen or the mention of a sexual activity would be enough to convince parents to keep their children away. Not half a decade later, though, sexual acts were being displayed on camera for all to see, demonstrating a rapid progression in the acceptance of sexual acts over time in the film industry. Over time, a change has occurred in the regulation of content of American movies, signaling the collapse of governmental censorship. In the span of only five years, the government’s morality policy shifted so dramatically so as to allow even more mature content, having a powerful influence on the public (Brisbin, 16). Kirby Dick’s “This Film Not Yet Rated” highlights the unfair hierarchical value system of the American film censorship system, which reinforces traditional societal attitudes towards sexuality, and goes through unnamed sources to remove parental control over a child’s media consumption.

Computed tomography (CT) scanning technology was discovered in 1972 and revolutionized the world of neuroimaging (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). The CT scan was the first technique to allow the imaging of brain tissue in living patients (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). During a CT scan, a patient lies on a flat surface, which incrementally moves through what is referred to as a gantry (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). A gantry is a round shaped structure that contains a motorized x-ray source…

willing to participate in rating and review everything as long they see their voice count. (Clements,M., Reinders 2010) People actively tag the available content and enjoy giving their opinions by supplying a rating. Although most people use tagging to organize their own content collection, it has been shown that social tagging results in semantically descriptive observations that could be use for content retrieval by the entire network (Golder and Huberman 2006; Marlow et al. 2006). (Guoshuai,…

But…

Malcolm X and Willow both decided to convert to the Islamic religion. Willow immersed herself in a different community (Cairo) and faced some consequences due to her ethnicity and distance from home (United States).
