Recommended: Media representation of gender

Judith Lorber conveys that the gender is socially constructed in this first chapter of her book. Lorber states that the gender is a man-made creation and it has been handled differently in all societies around the world by their unique norms and manners. According to Lorber, gender is created to sustain the order of how things work in a society. Lorber also articulates that there are gender signs and signals in our lives that are so pervasive. Thus, people receive a message telling everyone that every human being should be placed in a gender status and act in that manner, otherwise they become aberrant. On the other hand, media always have been and always will be the best and the most influential tool in order to transmit messages to the entire world. So, media cover a great part of placing all of those signs and signals all over the world. It answers my research question by indicating gender signs and signals that society and it’s tool, media, created. In that case, this source is not only related to my research but also supportive.

In this article, Serkan Gorkemli focuses on Internet based media’s portrayal of LGBT people. On the other hand, Internet’s usage by lesbian and gay activists is the other significant main topic in this article.

... to expose what people think about LGBT people when they actually had social contact with them for a while. As a result, Sakalli highlighted that mostly negative stereotypes took place while participants defining homosexual men. On the other way around, participants being college students shows that even well educated citizens of this country do not have an open-minded point of view towards people different than them. How college students think reflects the points of view of future CEOs, presidents and game-changers. Since the media and peer pressure is the best way to subliminally put an idea in someone’s mind, the idea of being gay is wrong was put by Turkish media and society into those college students’ minds when they were just innocent children.

My research essay will be investigating metaphors for detection in The Name of the Rose using a New Critical Approach. Specifically, I will be focusing on the Library in the Abbey and its labyrinth like qualities as a metaphor for the process of detection William of Baskerville uses throughout the novel. I expect that my thesis will involve exploring the process of detection that William uses and the outcome of his investigation in relation to his process and how they are metaphorically related to the Library-labyrinth of the Abbey. Through my research I have found information about a couple different types of mazes and how the process of detection in the novel is parallel to or contrasts with each of them. I have also generally researched labyrinths and the concept of paths and routes leading to a common goal to can develop my argument further because there were not a lot of sources I could find that were specifically about the Library-labyrinth as a metaphor for detection. At my current stage of research, I still need to finish reading the novel so when I am writing my research paper I will have a better idea of the process of detection that William of Baskerville uses throughout the novel. I will then be able to draw specific examples from the novel to support my thesis about the parallels between the Library-labyrinth and William’s process of detection and the final outcome of the mystery. Also, since I could not find many sources specifically about my topic, I am going to research the two elements of my argument separately to further and support the sources I did find specifically on my topic. In order to find all these resources I have used MLA International Bibliography and Academic Search Complete for online journal articl...

The study, which was conducted at a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Southeastern United States, evaluated twenty-four premature infants between 32 to 40 weeks of age on the effects of music therapy to reduce inconsolable crying episodes. Along with inconsolable crying, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and mean arterial pressure were also measured. Two groups were randomly divided in the study, which was conducted over a four day period. Group A was exposed to lullaby music and received standard nursing interventions on days one and three, and group B was exposed to both interventions on days two and four. The alternate days for each group included standard nursing interventions only. The length of inconsolable crying and the physiological data were observed, measured, and recorded using a research design tool. On days in which music therapy was incorporated, infants were inconsolable approximately three times fewer, with the episodes lasting about 18 minutes less a day then on non-music exposure days. Physiologic measures were also improved for the days the infants listened to music versus the days when they did not.

This article argues that there is a clear understanding of what crimes the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) measures. Citizens and the police are both in general agreement about what a serious crime is as it involves many different factors that make it a serious crime. The police and citizens are both part of the decision making process when classifying an incident as an index crime. The decision making process involves the following steps that are taken: defined by the victim, determined by the police, obvious accounts for most of the changes in whether a crime should be reported and officially recorded, personal characteristics of the offender, and the effects suffered by the victim. Studies show that crimes are reported to the police because the victim was greatly affected by the crime committed. Studies even show that not all crimes are reported to the police because the victim has a reason not to. I intend to use this article for my research to for my research project to explain why victims would report or not report a crime to the police.

Reducing the stigma in special education is a very important topic because the stigma effects so many people. There are many ways stigma could be reduced. Some examples of those ways could be educators being required to have special education training or properly integrating special education and general education. Proper training of educators in the special education field would make students feel less intimidated by professors and teachers alike and more likely to step up for themselves and their education. Properly integrating special education and general education could possibly end the bullying of kids with special needs because integrating the education could show the general education students that they are no different from the special education students.

Gender and sexuality can be comprehended through social science. Social science is “the study of human society and of individual relationships in and to society” (free dictionary, 2009). The study of social science deals with different aspects of society such as politics, economics, and the social aspects of society. Gender identity is closely interlinked with social science as it is based on an identity of an individual in the society. Sexuality is “the condition of being characterized and distinguished by sex” (free dictionary, 2009).

This paper will look at the gender roles and stereotypes, social policy, and homosexuality from a modern and a traditional society perspective. The three different areas will be compared by the two different societies to understand how much changes has occurred and whether or not anything has really changed.

This is to say that a traditional society lists certain roles depending on the gender and there are stereotypes that are connected with the genders.
