Social Issue: Our Society’s Image For Women?
Hello, I am writing an essay on how our society makes an image for women in the world. I have already obtained one article, “The Empire of Images in Our World of Bodies” By Susan Bordo, published in the Dec. 19 2003 edition of the chronicle of higher education.
Bordo explains the issue very well, but I need to present both sides of the argument. How could I go about this? Any examples? I have thought of the Reality show “The Biggest Loser” and various shows like that, but if I could find a scholarly article it would work much better and present a more valid argument because it is based on research.
I have a general idea of how I am going to structure this, but any input, help, and information is appreciated.
You should compare the West to the Middle East – in Saudi Arabia women are not even allowed to drive, and they’re trying to obtain that right by coming up with ways that women can drive WHILE STILL in the company of men, since being allowed to leave the house unaccompanied by a man is a right that even the Saudi women don’t think they have any chance of ever getting.
Then you could get into the whole female circumcision and honor killing thing…. And the burkhas…..
That’s just a BIT more oppressive than the fact that catwalk models are skinny now, isn’t it?

Sheriff Departments Use Contemporary Videos For Education
USING CONTEMPORARY VIDEO TO EDUCATE YOUTH AND THEIR PARENTS
Northern California based film and video production company, Zan Media, commissioned by Marin and Mendocino County Sheriffs’ Robert Doyle and Tom Allan respectively, for projects aimed at striking a nerve in the community and hopefully saving lives in the process. The productions were extremely different in both content and style, but the goal, AWARENESS was the same.
My husband and I own Zan Media, http://www.zanmedia.com , and I am so proud to recount our interaction with these fine men and their departments, which serve this area with such notable distinction.
In Mendocino County, Sheriff Allman heard a clear mandate in his ‘06 election victory as Sheriff: solve the methamphetamine problem ravaging the county. But, in his words, “ I could think of 20 ideas that I knew wouldn’t work, but I needed one that MIGHT work, and I knew it couldn’t be as simple as throwing it into the hands of law enforcement.” He was struck by an idea that if parents, community youth counselors or religious leaders AND law enforcement worked together, they might be able to curb this crisis. The idea had several components: offer saliva drug testing to parents through the schools, coupled with an explanatory video. “Methamphetamine, Deathamphetamine” is the title, http://www.zanmedia.com/content.htm?mov=meth.mov , and result of the video portion of Sheriff Allman’s campaign which will kick off in earnest in 2008.
The video had a life and story of it’s own. On the first day of shooting at the Mendocino County jail, we noticed a group of female inmates of various ages working in the garden. They asked the Sheriff what we were doing, and testing his own statistics, that of the people incarcerated there in the last 30 days, 80% were “meth” related, he questioned how many of these four were in jail due, in some extent, to meth. They all were. Then to a one, they asked if they could participate in the video, to tell their own story of what this drug did to ruin their lives. To say this was compelling video footage is an understatement. It provided a core of realism to launch this campaign and seek a solution. We also interviewed a man who coined the term “deathamphetamine,” as he chronicled his slow decent into hell and back. While our journey into the interior of the jail, serenaded by a most unhappy inmate drying out, provided a stark visual backdrop, it is the story of the youth who takes a live, on camera drug test that offers the most dramatic moment. The citizens of Mendocino County are lucky to have a Sheriff that isn’t afraid to tackle difficult issues in a novel manner. Hopefully, this program will bring success in the year ahead.
In Marin County, a continuation of youth safety issues were the topic of “Trust Your Gut,” http://www.zanmedia.com/content.htm?mov=gut.mov , a video that appears on the Sheriff Department’s web site and is available through the Office of Education and other outreach groups. Sheriff Doyle, at the helm for many years, continues to “think outside the box” with a overwhelming sense of community, much like his Mendocino County counterpart. He enlisted the services of his department as well as police officers and detectives in the various cities in Marin County, to participate in this production, together. Scenarios include three distinct age related topics, from grade school-ers to preteens to college aged students, with information what each can do to stay safe. After each reenactment, a law enforcement officer presents some tips and the reenactment is “rewound” and played again, correctly. The combination of youth appealing video segments shot MTV style, along with the real officers appearing in the actual locations, creates an entertaining yet didactic vehicle.
I thank both of these dedicated men and their extraordinary staff for this opportunity.

Why is it that 80% of professors/PhDs are liberal (Democrats) politically?
Not just art professors. Money-driven capitalist academic disciplines like law, medicine, engineering and business (i.e. law, engineering, business and engineering professors are mostly liberal at my University. Is there a correlation between getting a PhD and being a Democrat?

There was also a gallup poll recently which showed that only 5% of Americans scientists are republican…and many of them were Obama supporters because they weren’t confident with McCain-Palin running this country

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
