in one of the closest games in recent history; but this year it wasn’t the football game or even the commercials that had people talking. It was an incident that occurred during the halftime show that involved pop singers Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake that ended in millions of Americans having the privilege to see the left breast of Janet Jackson for a few moments. This single issue may not have been a huge ordeal in itself, but it brought to surface some very pertinent questions about how far

N’Sync’s songs are a positive influence on today’s youth. It’s a definite relief to know that Justin Timberlake is having a good hair day, and that Chris Kirkpatrick had a good photo shoot.

information about the national security is a crime. The article also discusses how certain graphics such as nude scenes should not be broadcast on television or any other forms of media.

fifty songs, according to billboard magazine. This is a trend that has been increasing since Jackson started. The pop star image has definitely affected the general public but mainly the youth of the world.

Also pop stars play an important role in video images that appeal to everyone. I’m not saying that I like pop music or what they stand for
Throughout the past few decades, female artists within the music industry have become increasingly sexualised and objectified. As society’s views on women began to change during the early 20th Century, allowing them more freedom, it also brought about an increase of attention and focus within the media. Women were becoming more prominent as artists, actors, singers, and models. By examining a popular music video by the female singer and cultural icon, Britney Spears, I aim to analyse the real intentions
something that has a bad impact on her influences. It all started when she first began to play a part for the All New Mickey Mouse Club. Many T.V viewers were excited to watch the show. Christina Aguilera along with other members, such as Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling casted this show. In the following article, “The Hit Girl Christina Aguilera”, the writer writes about Christina Aguilera’s personal and career background downfall.

Super Bowl were a matter of priorities, and it seems that in America ours are quite jumbled. In the days following the game, we heard the chattering classes rail about the various social evils allegedly embodied by the Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake “costume malfunction,” from the racism inherent in a white male stripping a black female to the sexual violence underlying the act of a man exposing a woman in public. While bigotry and misogyny are profound ills that pollute America, the so-called

Her public finally saw her as a woman not a girl. In 2002, Britney and her boyfriend Justin Timberlake broke up. The following year during the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Britney and former fellow Mouseketeer Christina Alguilera kissed Madonna sensually (A&E Television Networks, 2011). Madonna has been a major influence in Britney's life. Ever since
Father and Daughter weekend became my favorite weekends, as a child. My father made sure that it was never boring when FDW (father/daughter weekend) came around. Every weekend, my father had just one goal to accomplish and that goal was to teach me something no matter what. Well, at the age of eight, my father took me fishing for the first time. When my father and I arrived to our destination, at five o’clock that morning, the smell of freshly cut grass slaps me in the face, almost taking my breath

Language is a mold Many will say that no matter what language one speaks everyone has the same brain anatomy thus language does not shape the way that we think and they way we perceive the world.
