Recommended: Gender roles in females and males

According to the two videos regarding Daniel Sloss per Topic 2, Daniel spoke and informed to the audience about a variety of controversial topics. In the first video, he opens up by making fun of himself about how young he is. After that, he moves on to another topic about him moving out from his mom and dad (he mentions that he purposely calls his dad a “step-dad.”) After some more topics, he then tells a joke about abortion and how his family calls his aunt “Aunty Abortion,” as she had five abortions. Daniel also mentions about how his ex-girlfriend is unlikely to be the “most beautiful girl in the world” since statistically, there are about 3.5 billion girls/women on Earth. The probability of his ex-girlfriend being the one most beautiful girl in the world is 1 out of 3.5 billion, which is practically zero. In the second video, he starts by telling a joke relating to spiders. Daniel then moves on to the controversial topic in regards to the LGBTQ community, particularly about two homosexual penguins. He informs the audience that once a penguin chooses a mate, they mate for life. He also explains about how the penguins could not lay an egg and that the two penguins found and cared for a rock. The zookeeper then gave an extra egg to the two penguins and that even though the baby was being cared by two male penguins, the baby was not different to any …show more content…

These topics may cause some angst mainly to people who are activists on the topic of abortion, females, and people who are against homosexual people or even the LGBTQ community. This is because a moderate amount of people may feel offended or that some people may not agree to his viewings i.e. the two homosexual penguins and how they are just as capable to raise babies just like any other

  • Road To El Dorado: Movie Analysis

    The two movies I chose to watch this week was “The Road to El Dorado” and “The Emperor's New Groove” as my choice of animated films to analyze. The animated film, “The Road to El Dorado” stereotypical representations of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality are added in children’s films. I see sexuality played out most of the time in these Disney films. There is only one woman, and her name is Chel. There are many single female characters in otherwise male dominated movies who are portrayed as sexy. It is unfortunately very common and reinforces the idea of women as tokens, and the audience will not find stories interesting unless their focus is men’s issues and lives. As soon as Chel appears she is immediately characterized as an object that

  • The Turn Of The Screw Argumentative Essay

    1431 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Turn of the Screw by Henry James has been the cause of many debates about whether or not the ghosts are real, or if this is a case of a woman with psychological disturbances causing her to fabricate the ghosts. The story is told in the first person narrative by the governess and is told only through her thoughts and perceptions, which makes it difficult to be certain that anything she says or sees is reliable. It starts out to be a simple ghost story, but as the story unfolds it becomes obvious that the governess has jumps to conclusions and makes wild assumptions without proof and that the supposed ghosts are products of her mental instability which was brought on by her love of her employer

  • Critical Review: It's Elementary

    680 Words  | 2 Pages

    It's Elementary takes a look as to whether or not gay issues should be discussed in schools and how such issues should be treated. Its not often that adults get the chance to hear what children think about homosexuality. When asked to respond to the discussion the school children responded in a frank and earnest manner, some especially in the younger grades with an instinctual sense of fairness and democracy towards homosexuals, particularly those facing adversity. Unlike opposing teachers and parents who thought discussion would expose alternative lifestyles and encourage homosexual sex, the children in the video were far more interested in name-calling, non-traditional families, and gay/lesbian stereotypes. The film also focused on how the media influences opinions by presenting misconceptions and stereotypes. Many children in the film admitted that their notions of homosexuality had been learned not only at home but also from the news and movies. Several popular PG movies were used as examples that showed instances of homophobia: Ace Ventura, Home Alone, and Kindergarten Cop. In order to nurture a democratic learning environment, the schools in the film implemented gay pride days and celebrated the national `coming out' day, focusing on differing family structures (such as the second grader who read her essay on her two mommies) and homosexuality as part of individual identity (ex. the teacher who analogized staying in the closet to playing soccer with one foot). As a social activist and filmmaker, Debra Chasnoff, the director and co-producer has worked on several films and won the 1991Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject for her film Deadly Deception: General Electric, Nuclear Weapons, and Our Environment.

    For several years now, Disney seems to be determined not to offend anyone in order to keep its audience; indeed we are confronted with animation films full of compromises; they are not as degrading for women as Snow-White and the Seven Dwarves (1937), but they are nonetheless still filled with clichés. Films such as The Princess and The Frog (2009), Tangled (2010), Wreck-it Ralph (2012), have in common the sense of being progressive and however we can notice the resurgence of harmful gendered stereotypes on the subjects of the social scale, women’s role in society, or the status quo. Frozen comes in and turns out to be no exception. Though it includes several encouraging and gratifying elements, it contributes insidiously to spread numerous

    This book is telling a story about two African American boys (Wes A and Wes P) who have the same name and grew up at same community, but they have a very different life. The author, Wes A, begins his life in a tough Baltimore neighborhood and end up as a Rhodes Scholar, Wall Streeter, and a white house fellow; The other Wes Moore begins at the same place in Baltimore , but ends up in prison for the rest of his life. Then why do they have the same experience, but still have a totally different life? I will agree here that environment (family environment, school education environment and society environment) is one of the biggest reasons for their different.

  • Gay and Lesbian Issues - Gender Identity in Gumby's Adventures

    When Jerry Falwell's conservative paper "outted" Tinky-Winky (the purple Teletubby) as being gay, fans of the Teletubbies television series usually fell into two camps: those who supported Tinky-Winky as a positive gay character and those who maintain Tinky-Winky has no developed sexual identity. A few unfamiliar with the BBC/PBS show asked the question, "how can you even tell if Tinky-Winky's male?" Brushed off by most fans as a naive inquiry, this concern does merit discussion. How do we, as television viewers, determine gender identities for non-human characters? How is this complicated for children's characters?

  • Herbert Kohl's Argument Essay

    608 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this passage, the audience truly sees the meaning behind Herbert Kohl's message. His purpose for writing comes back to the fact that people interpret situations differently in every way. Kohl not only wanted to highlight the purpose behind wanting to learn something new but he also wanted readers to be aware that most time it does not come down to the inability of someone who doesn't want to learn but the real reason behind why they don't want to. People have different opinions on topics such as these but Kohl wanted to show that being able to want to stand up for your culture and the meanings behind it are rather important. Behind Kohl's purpose for writing, we see an insight into his past life relating to Wilfredo's. Kohl's reason for

  • Analysis Of Judith Halberstam's Animating Revolt And Revolting Animation

    She states that most, if not all, of the movies that make up this new genre of movie “works not to emphasize the difference between humans and nonhumans, as it does in so many other Pixar features, but instead makes the characters into virtual puppets…” (284). Once puppetized, these characters can be made to do whatever they, the directors, please. Such as re-write and re enforce gender roles, as it is shown in March of the Penguins, with how the directors showed how the males were in charge of watching and protecting the eggs while the females left to find food (whereas in human society it is the opposite). Or they can solidify heterosexuality, by stating that all of the penguin relationships are strictly male/ female. Then by taking this bourgeois concept of heterosexuality and advertising it as full of variety and elasticity.

    What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.

  • Formal Elements In The Film Zootopia

    773 Words  | 2 Pages

    Zootopia (Byron Howard Rich Moore 2016) is an extremely successful film about a bunny named Judy. Within the film there are many direct and obvious themes, but a more implicit theme that I found while watching was, Our preconceived fears about certain groups as a society are directly reflected in Zootopia. I will be using the formal elements: camera angle, camera distance, and sound to argue my point. In the scene I will be analyzing, Judy just finished her press conference and claimed that all predators were savages. She gets off the podium and has an encounter with her friend, Nick, who is a predator. He is mad that Judy made this general statement about predators. Nick scares Judy and acts as though he has

  • Themes In The Movie Zootopia

    1457 Words  | 3 Pages

    All the characters and plot settings intend to jump out of people 's mindset and to create a conflict between ideality and reality—a lovely contrast. In Zootopia, we see bunny Judy throws off the shackles that the dual role “female” and “rabbit” gave to her; fox Nick becomes a loyal partners of Judy and helps Judy catch the bad guy; leopard Benjamin Clawhauser in the front desk gets rid of the image of masculine and acts more like people’s imagination of Gay (a stereotype); Assistant Mayor sheep Bellwether changes from a silly and sweet herbivore into a leader of criminal group; Mr.Big is a small rodent while sloth Flash drives super fast. The process of break through these prejudices and stereotypes is the most touching part in Zootopia. Zootopia committed to tell people that each individual in our society have different possibilities and can be different, no matter what race, grow, gender and age. No one should feel ashamed of the “difference”. Zootopia breaks our stereotype, inspires us to re-examine the way we viewing the world and encourages us to treat others with an open mind. Most time we are not aware of how stereotype influence on us, because those influences may exist in tiny details such as our tone, facial expression or even a pause. For example, in Zootopia, Judy screamed that “Wait. They 're all sloths?”, she also asked “you played cribbage with a weasel once?” and Nick’s joke to sheep Bellwether “You think when she goes to sleep she counts herself?”.You can see the leading character as a positive image, still has a lot of stereotypical thinking on other species. In the news conference, Judy declared that savage carnivores commit this crime due to their DNA, they may have innate aggressiveness. At this time, she changed from a bunny who yearns racial integration and hate discrimination into a perpetrator who against predators, even if she did not
