It's not one occasional attack on dignity, it's a repeated humiliation, being continuously dispossessed in a society rich with possession". Studies do suggest that living in areas of social deprivation could be a factor, says Marian FitzGerald, visiting professor of criminology at the University of Kent. "But the socially excluded are not always the ones who are rioting - in fact they are often the ones who are most vulnerable to riots. We need a better thought-out approach rather than just using social exclusion as an excuse." Lack of fathers According to Cristina Odone of the Daily Telegraph, the riots could be
Discuss the ways in which feminist theories have informed a contemporary understanding of media and gender. Consider at least two feminist perspectives in your answer. This essay will analyse various feminist media theories and explore their relevance with regard to our understanding and interpretation of contemporary media texts. Feminist media theories generally regard the media as being male dominated and examine gender inequality and its effects on media content and representation, “emphasising the important role of women in the media and the role of women in defining reality through media content” (Fourie, P. 2001). The development of feminism over time has seen many different feminist perspectives emerge such as liberal feminism, conservative feminism, radical feminism, socialist feminism, black feminism and lesbian feminism.
Sade argues for the interrelationship between sexual and political freedom. How does Philosophy in the Boudoir engage with or dramatise this argument? Do you think it is correct? Argument continues today regarding the Marquis de Sade and the ambiguous representation of his works. For many, his material is judged as what some feminists would define as a “form of violence against women”, whose representations “eroticize male domination”, (Robin Ann Sheets, “Pornography, Fairytales and Feminism” 635), but for many readers of Sade’s work, once they see through the ‘smut’ and the erotica, there is often found by the reader an underlying message which is sometimes seen as radical, or one which was not elaborated further until many years later.
For children they are fun heroic movies but actually Disney movies have a bad influence on the younger generation by exposing them to subliminal messages, racist values, sexist thoughts and ideas, and bad morals. 2) Choice of Creative Representation and Rationale: A- What? Create a statement of purpose or belief based on your topic and how it relates to class materials (To Kill a Mockingbird, Frankenstein, Amazing Grace, Macbeth or any other resources presented throughout the year) Everyone has watched Disney movies or still do, but most people don’t see the hidden messages that these movies are sending out to there viewers. This relates to TKAM, were everyone just followed along with society and discriminated the black people, and believed others. This is like the influence of a Disney movie on a child, they will see all these “beautiful” or “macho” men and only see one side of society.
A prejudice is a judgment made about an individual without knowing the facts. You may have negative thoughts about someone you know nothing about, for example if you see a young person wearing a hoodie; you assume they’re troublesome and rude. However, when you talk to them you realise they’re rather interesting and polite. Both service users and carers and be affected by prejudice in Peace Haven House.

Weather movie ratings should be banned or not is a growing concern in our country. During my research I discovered many interesting theories and opinions as to why movie ratings should not be banned. The first reason I think they should not be banned is that parents want movies to be suitable for their children. Another reason why they shouldn’t be banned is that movie viewers want to have an idea of what kind of movie they are going to watch. The third reason movie ratings shouldn’t be banned is that movie ratings can be used as constructive criticism by the director.
Professors believe that racism could be prevented through education; however, no research has proven this method to be effective. Despite the good intentions, these education programs would be ineffective due to the way humans think and the way they are influenced. Education programs in elementary schools designed to teach young students about racial issues would be useless. Educators believe if these children are taught about racial problems before they are old enough to form their own opinions, racism could be prevented. However, because racism originates from the home, any outside influences are pointless at the Cowan 2 elementary age.

Most people don’t understand how negative excessively watching TV can be. The public should know the consequences of allowing themselves and their children of watching too much television. The first reason why people shouldn’t watch too much television is because the content of many TV programs are not educational. Nowadays we can see movies, series, shows, and even cartoons that present scenes of violence, sex, and drugs. These things can badly disturb the process of mental development, making children less sensitive and more aggressive.
