Antonia Peacocke uses short parts of from different authors to shape her argument, agreeing with some and pointing fun at others. She recognizes some of the steps taken due to the fact that the content of some of the jokes are not for younger ears. She ends her article explaining that although she feels that there is more to the jokes on Family Guy than the offensive crudity that people like to point out she still finds that people still need to realize that some jokes do go too far and take to heart "the distinction between a shamelessly candid but insightful joke and a merely shameless joke".

How does Sebold use representations of speech and other literary techniques to portray Ray Singh in the following extract?

Aisha Reed Professor Navarette Sociology 10, 11 February 2013 Nacirema is American It is very difficult to think outside the box and let go of one’s cultural norms. It is very easy to point the finger in disgust and fall victim of ethnocentrism when it comes to an unfamiliar culture. The article Body Ritual among the Nacirema, by Horace Miner, brings to light a group of North American people, named Nacirema, that culture includes the obsession over rituals that are done to the human body. These rituals might seem different but try and take a culturally relative perspective and ask yourself, “Why?” Nacirema’s culture is highly developed and they are extremely committed to reaching economic goals. A substantial amount of money and time are spent on ritual deeds that are suppose to improve the appearance and health of the body.
Stage Dramas involve different dialogue between two groups or characters, which plays a significant role in shaping the audience’s opinions.

Davis separates the groups in various aspects. Davis does not position the audience to feel that the aboriginals are perfect, but positions the reader to feel sympathetic towards them and are given a favoured by the author as the better people.

Antonia Peacocke, in her essay “ Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious”, applies the main ideas of Freud’s “Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious”, logical evidence, and strong arguments, to prove the true meaning behind the show’s unique humor. Her main evidence against the supposed “offensive” show is by introducing Freud’s literature, “Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious”, which claims Family guy hits the unconscious parts of our minds, and while our minds realize the true meaning behind the joke, it makes the joke seem funny (Peacocke 308). This idea of using satire to create the jokes in Family Guy are meant not to offend, but to “provide a sort of relief by breaking down taboos” over American culture and stereotypes that people create amongst each other (Peacocke 308). Another way Peacoke introduces logical evidence is by presenting direct dialogues from the show, and therefore revealing the similarities to the American culture’s realities. For example she uses pieces of dialogue in which one involves a commercial set in the 1950’s in which is believed to be “blatantly sexist” because it ridicules how people perceived and treated women in the 1950’s (Peacoke 302).
