Rachel Schouten How Effective is Marsha Bryant’s Journal Article, Plath, Domesticity, and the Art of Advertising? Due Date: Sunday, 18th November ‘12 Word Count: 795 Marsha Bryant’s journal article argues that there is a distinct link between the writings of Sylvia Plath and the images and rhetoric seen in the relentless U.S advertising campaigns throughout the 1950s. Bryant argues that the link between the two illustrates how Plath translated the psychological and cultural impact of this throughout her writing, predominantly seen within the language used in her compilation of poetry, Ariel. The aim of this essay is to summarise the main points raised in Bryant’s argument and evaluate its critical value in understanding some of Plath’s works. Bryant puts forward the opinion that despite many critics arguing that Plath “rebels against cultural norms” (Byrant), there are numerous contradictions to this and that the women appearing in Plath’s work “occupy the ambiguous position of housewife-consumer” (Byrant).
During and after World War II, women's magazine served as an advice quide, fashion manual, marriage counselor, catalog and more. This collection of magazines and journals entries provide a resource for understanding how the popular press comprehended and attempted to influence women's behavior, goals and values in the postwar era. History shows that women have been categorized only as housekeepers and nurturers, a fact that continues to torment those women who strive for political and business careers today. The conspicuous images from World War II women's magazines reveal the cultural inclination to focus on women's intrinsic duties of family and home, with a emphasis on fashion and beauty, even during a time of shortage, rationing, and

It survives by giving the people what they want: or does it? Is it that television reflects society or society looks to television to tell it what is “normal”? In order to understand the changing dynamics, it is important to see what has happened to our society since the 1950’s. When the first families graced our television sets it was in the form of good wholesome entertainment like Ozzie and Harriet. Ozzie and Harriet Nelson started off as a radio show in the 1930’s, “a medium to which bandleader Ozzie Nelson and his singer/actress wife Harriet Hilliard had gravitated in the late 1930s, hoping to spend more time together than their conflicting careers would permit”(MBC).

Unlike the nurses found in the medical romance youthfulness, purity and naivety, delicate, skilful and capable women (De Vries, 1995). The media unfortunately influences our ideas about health care and actually creates values and opinions about professionals through television shows and dramas (Summers and Summers 2010). My views of social workers before coming to the United Kingdom gave me impression that all social workers do is sit around in an office doing paperwork or that they go out and take the children away from their family. The view of social workers in the United Kingdom, was highlighted in a recent survey of social workers (Community Care 2009), is that the media treats social work and social workers unfairly, focusing on what are considered to be disappointments or injustices acts made by social workers and just reporting bad news. I have faced many stereotypes before enrolling onto adult nursing programme and unfortunately some of them they have not been so good.
Before World War I, birth control advocates confronted numerous and often hostile opponents. By the 1920s, changing sexual ideologies had transformed and Margaret Sanger began her movement. She was radical, confrontational and extremely ademate about contraception. In 1960s a half century later, birth control became supported by government and many institutions, and oral contraceptives were taken by millions of women around the world and were seen as a family planning system. This transformation of reproduction prevention was not the simple technical result of laboratory innovation that created “the Pill”.
Although the free-love movement was full swing, single women had a hard time getting the pill. Still, freedom from fear of pregnancy, women had more latitude to choose partners and determine the timing and frequency of sex when women take the pill. Despite fear of pregnancy there was a powerful check on promiscuity information that was treated as the equivalent of pornography. The pill was embraced by millions of women for a very personal reason. According to a Time in 1964, they declared that the “second sexual revolution” was built on the message that “sex will save you and libido makes you free” .Everyone’s open-mindedness was the new normal; the pursuit of pleasure overtook the pursuit of
Single camera dramas include many different genres, these include: • Comedy • Period • Soap Opera • Crime There are many different uses for these genres, the main one is to attract many different audiences. Crime dramas include Police, murders, mysteries, a chance to try and solve the mystery yourself as an audience member and a plot that is both quite easy to figure out and to include a twist that the audience may have missed originally. This is affective in the way that it will keep the audience attracted to the episode or series that the story line is based in, for example ‘Midsomer Murders’ keeps a single storyline in one episode. The average episode length of this programme is around an hour which is a common length of a series with closed endings, it’s not too long for the audience to lose interest but long enough to fit the whole story line. Soap Operas are usually around half an hour long, this is because they do not have to fit a whole story line and leave an open ending, this means they can carry on a main story line for weeks without having to end it.
