Barney Vs. Sesame Street
Sesame Street and Barney The Dinosaur are two popular educational shows for children. Are they really teaching kids with the right techniques? Are they teaching kids anything at all? It's a battle to see which is better: Barney or
Sesame Street.
Sesame Street and Barney have totally different teaching techniques.
Sesame Street captivates the audience with high joltage and fast scenes. The child barely understands what is going on and when they understand that scene, it's over and the next scene is almost done. The child does not learn well under these circumstances. Barney does not have the same JPM as Sesame Street but it still attracts the audiences' attention. The show is slower and more understandable than Sesame Street.
Barney focuses on one topic for every show. The one that I watched, entitled "Up We Go", was about flying. You learn about kites, birds, planes and more. You get more out of the show than if it was about many topics like Sesame
Street. The one we saw had many topics like eating healthy, dental hygiene, the airport and more. The child can have an overload of ideas for one day and get all mixed up.
Both Barney and Sesame Street have songs in them. I found that Barney had many more songs than Sesame Street. The songs are used as jolts and they work well in getting the attention of the child. I found that the Barney songs were much catchier than the Sesame Street songs. They were slower, and other than the dancing, there was not much else happening. On Sesame Street, the background was changing, things were flying and colors were jumping. The attention was not put on the song by the kids, it was put on the actions on the screen. Barney, like Sesame Park, showed minimal biases regarding sex and race.
The cast consisted of three boys and three girls. One boy was disabled but was as able as the other kids. The races on the show were mixed. They consisted of a Latino boy, a Chinese girl, an African-American girl and more. On Sesame
Street there was less of a mix of races. They just had the primary races of the
United States like African-Americans and Latinos.
While watching Barney, I noticed that a main focus was imagination and
The movie doesn't tell us, it ends, but not before zooming in very close and slowly on the boys face. Additionally, I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves classic movies, because this classic French drama film was the first time a director had ever done this type (especially with the zooming in on the face). Furthermore, for people who say they have old movies and read subtitles I would tell them to give this one a go, it might change their minds about these types of movies, and inspire them to watch more classic movies such as this one.
As many of these issues are addressed daily, we have to take into consideration that a lot of these claims can be considered ethical in reasoning. In this instance, Jill Filipovic uses rational arguments to provide examples and studies to build a case that women are not just “playing the women card” but that there are real issues that they face simply because of their gender. Even though there are weaknesses within the evidence and claims being made, Filipovic does not violate any values or falsely misleads her audience. There are no signs of Filipovic attempting to prevent or silence the voices of the other side of the argument. Nor does Filipovic use her article to relay emotional stories of women being discriminated against causing her audience to be overwhelmed, causing them to loose sign in the true issue at hand. It seems that her purpose is to inform the readers in hopes that it will bring about change or awareness. Finally, Filipovic does not, in any way, attack any individuals or groups of people. She does dress the topic of discrimination between men and women but the topic is never addressed
The Creek Indians, one of the Five Civilized Tribes, “was composed of many tribes, each with a different name.” The Creeks formed a loose confederacy with other tribes before European contact, “but it was strengthened significantly in the 1700s and 1800s.” The confederacy “included the Alabama, Shawnee, Natchez, Tuskegee, as well as many others.” There were two sections of Creeks, the Upper and Lower Creeks. The Lower Creeks occupied land in east Georgia, living near rivers and the coast. “The Upper Creeks lived along rivers in Alabama.” Like many other Native Americans, ...
The Cherokee were a tribe from the south east, they lived in present day Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The Cherokee were originally called the Aniyunwiya. They also spoke the language called Tsalagi Gawonihisdi, the man who created this language along with their alphabet was Sequoyah. The Cherokee were a tribe with different ways of living, instead of living in the common teepee the Cherokee lived in cabins that were made of logs, they lived in villages that consisted of thirty to fifty families. The Cherokee were a strong tribe, they consisted of small sections that were lead by chiefs. The Cherokee tribe lived off of farming, hunting, and gathering. They could farm vegetables such as corn, squash, and beans. They hunted animals like deer, rabbits, turkey, and sometimes even bears. They would cook foods for instance stew and cornbread. When the Cherokee had to travel to places, when getting wood, or getting food they would travel by foot or canoe. They would use trails so that let them travel threw villages, and their canoes were made by hollowing out large tree trunks. The Cherokee weren't all about hard labor and cooking they were also very religious. They believed in spirits. The Cherokee would perform ceremonies so they could ask spirit to help them. There were special ceremonies before battle, leaving on a hunt, and when sick tribe members needed healing. For these ceremonies they would dress up and dance to music. Their largest celebration was called the Green Corn Ceremony which thanked the spirits for the harvest of corn. In the Cherokee villages the men were responsible for the hunting and war, as for the woman they stayed home and cleaned, farmed, and took care of the family...

Through public education, most elementary school kids can understand that smoking is bad for them and that cigarettes are additive. Cigarettes are addictive due to nicotine, a drug found in tobacco (“Quitting Smoking”, 2015). According to Schneider (2016), some of the greatest health problems associated with smoking include: lung cancer, other cancers, coronary heart disease, other heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, other vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), prenatal conditions, and sudden infant death syndrome. As stated by the Authority of the American Lung Association in an article titled “Health
Shakespeare’s Hamlet shows a unique mother and son relationship between Gertrude and Hamlet. Stemming from the death of King Hamlet, Hamlet’s depiction of his mother signals a heinous relationship amongst the two. Hamlets and Gertrude relationship looks complicated, but Gertrude still considers Hamlet as her son. After the marriage of Gertrude and Claudius, her affection towards Hamlet is not encountered, excluding for when she questioned his dark demeanor, “Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off, And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark” (I, II, 68-69). Initially in the plot, Hamlet realizes that his mother is completely oblivious and naïve to her relationship with King Hamlet. Her questioning Hamlet’s character indicates that she
In Hamlet, we see a struggle between Hamlet, Prince of Denmark and his mother Gertrude, Queen of Denmark. Hamlet wants to please his mother and be a good son, but he struggles with his inner self, dealing with the knowledge of his fathers murder, by his uncle, Claudius. Hamlet and Gertrude’s struggle throughout the play shows the common Parent/Child conflict we all go through, including being misunderstood, not listened to, or possibly betrayal in some cases, like in Hamlet.
How can there be so much misery and insecurity in the midst of such abundance? One of the first things we see is that poverty doesn’t exist all by itself. It is simply one end of an overall distribution of income and wealth in society as a whole. Poverty is both a structural aspect of the system and consequence of how the system is organized and how people participate in it.
One main theme that arises in the Hamlet is the power struggle between Hamlet and Claudius. The main problem is between Hamlet and Claudius; they are in an ongoing battle throughout the play to see who will rise with the power of the throne. Claudius is the antagonist in the story and has multiple people under him that follow his every rule (Innes). He is a manipulative character who seeks revenge on Hamlet through other people he knows. On the other hand, Hamlet is the protagonist of the story, he is very unhappy after finding out the news of how his father had been killed (Innes). He is overtaken though by the ghost of his father, Old Hamlet, and is seen to become mad as a consequence. Although Hamlet seeks revenge against his new stepfather he procrastinates killing him. Hamlet has also considered killing himself beforehand because of the struggle of power between his stepfather and himself. In the last scene of the play the power struggle that had been between Hamlet and Claudius comes to a conclusion as Gertrude, Laertes, Claudius and Hamlet die. Throughout the play Laertes, Horatio and Gertrude choose a side to be on, either between Hamlet’s and Claudius’s who both are trying to obtain the utmost power.
Singing songs and nursery rhymes contain rhythm and rhyme which could be more entertain/stimulating for those children who prefer to be on the go rather than read
Hamlet is Shakespeare’s most famous work of tragedy. Throughout the play the title character, Hamlet, tends to seek revenge for his father’s death. Shakespeare achieved his work in Hamlet through his brilliant depiction of the hero’s struggle with two opposing forces that hunt Hamlet throughout the play: moral integrity and the need to avenge his father’s murder. When Hamlet sets his mind to revenge his fathers’ death, he is faced with many challenges that delay him from committing murder to his uncle Claudius, who killed Hamlets’ father, the former king. During this delay, he harms others with his actions by acting irrationally, threatening Gertrude, his mother, and by killing Polonius which led into the madness and death of Ophelia. Hamlet ends up deceiving everyone around him, and also himself, by putting on a mask of insanity. In spite of the fact that Hamlet attempts to act morally in order to kill his uncle, he delays his revenge of his fathers’ death, harming others by his irritating actions. Despite Hamlets’ decisive character, he comes to a point where he realizes his tragic limits.
One important thing to understand is that these acts of gender are not done in isolation or done on an individualistic level – this cannot be targeted merely by changing actions on that level. Acts are a shared experience and a collective action – and since gender is understood as an act, gender is never one’s alone. While every single individual acts out gender in their own one, but it is still done in reference to certain sanctions and prescriptions that it is never fully one’s own. Acts are in themselves public, as the choice to ‘perform’ such acts means to render implicit social conditions explicit. The “play” of gender requires both the ‘script’ of gender, and the personal interpretation of acting out such a
William Shakespere 's tragedy of Hamlet is a story of revenge and distress involving Hamlet Jr, the prince of Denmark. The plot of the play focuses on Hamlet 's quest to avenge his father 's death. Hamlet learns that his father did not die accidentally, as the public believed, and that his Uncle Claudius is the one who murdered his father. Claudius then hastily married Hamlet 's mother and became king. Hamlet is an archetypical example of a tragic hero. He starts out as a noble and virtuous character and then confronts challenges that expose his tragic flaws which lead to his downfall. Hamlet 's tragic flaws are making rash decisions as well as being overly contemplative.
