Whats we learn about our society from systematic analysis the four magazines.the name of the magazine that I research is called Time A World With Out Bees and was published August 19 2013. And the other magazine in the Group I work with to share data is called Weekly , U.S. and Seven Teen. My hypothesis was any magazine I look at made from the U.S.A was going to have mostly white males then females.

The first thing I did was pick a magazine that was published this year in 2013. Also I look throw the magazine and counted the total number of people, or parts of people shown in the magazine, count every image even if it is the same person more then once and if it is a cartoon image. Then categorize the images of people in my magazine by gender as in Male and Female also by race White, Black, Asian, Latino and other. Then use the numbers that I gathered to see what number has the highest percent of people race and gender in the magazine I was looking throw.The magazine that I was working on my hypothesis was right 51.9% of people in my data are white males that more then half of the people in the magazine. And the one with the lowest percent is Asian male and other female they both have 0% I seen them no were in my magazine. From the data I have gathered with my group the one that appear the most is a white females. Three out of four magazine all had white female as the highest percent out of all the magazines in my group. Also the one with the lowest percent seen out of four magazine is a Asian male there all lower then one percent.

I learn about our society from systematic analysis the four magazines is the most show race is white and the most show gender is females. And My hypothesis was wrong when I seen the data from the group I work with showing me most of the magazine have white females.

Data
17
Female: (White - 50.47%)(African Americans - 14.19%)(Asian - 0%)(Latino -1.86%)(Other - 15.81%)

Male: (White - 14.41%)(African Americans -

    Whiteness studies incorporate aspects such as the cultural, social and historical factors relative to the people identified as the white citizens in the United States. These studies exist around the idea that white privilege is in fact alive in our social world. Meaning the playing field isn’t level between different races and that white individual’s benefit from it. Whiteness Studies were popular in the mid-1990s. During that time there were numerus studies that surrounded whiteness. The authors of those studies were inspired by the concepts of post modernism and society’s racial history including the philosophy of white superiority. Some argue that the principles of the ideologies were specifically intended to justify the concept of racial…

    In this quote, Chief Bromden says, “I been silent so long it’s going to roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my God; you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! But, please. It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.”(Act 1 32) Chief Bromden, a long-term patient in Nurse Ratcheds psychiatric ward, narrates the events of the novel. The novel begins as he awakes to a typical day on the ward, feeling paranoid about the nighttime activities of the wards three black aides. We are given this brainteaser from chief Bromden. The reader has already gotten a glimpse of Bromden’s paranoia, from the novels opening lines, as well as a sense that he is not seeing things from an everyday perspective. For example, Bromden describes Nurse Ratched transforming into a huge machine, and he has to be sedated when the aides try to shave him and he starts screaming, “Air Raid”. In this story, he claims himself not only the narrator, but the author. He has an important story to tell, even though it’s going to be hard for him. The last line of this quote is Bromden’s request that the reader have an open mind. His hallucinations imply that the audience shouldn’t believe everything he says in the novel. In my opinion, I believe that Bromden regains sanity, but he still witnesses many events while he is hallucinating.…

    Female Magazine

    I read a magazine call “GL” which stands for girl’s life. It is focus on teens, and it is one of the popular teen magazines for female. Of course, the pop star “Justin Biber” was on the cover which caught my eyes. In the magazine, the question of today was “Are you cheating on your boyfriend?” wasn’t too proper for teen to start off. The advertisement weren’t bad; they were mostly movies, and clothing. The articles were somewhat positive and negative. There was article about “100 ways to look cute”, and I was standing there thinking “That’s a lot”. They were teaching how to look “flirty” which I have no idea how. It was just terrible article about putting make up on; I don’t believe teens need to look flirty to anybody. There was another article about spring trends for under $20 which wasn’t so bad, it gave pretty good cloth to wear, I thought it was good, because girls tend to want expensive stuff. Another article was “Make Him Yours” it was just awful; it was real guy telling them how to approach, and what not to do. Honestly, teens don’t need to learn how to flirt with guy, first of all; article was just useless, “look at him with your new make up on” is not what teens have to learn. One of the positive article was about “10 ways to prepare for your period”. I am not sure it was right ways since I’m a guy. However, if the content is right, girls need to know how to prepare for them, how to treat them right, so I thought it was educating. Also, there was article call “I feel fat” which was for teen who think they are fat. They gave solutions for it, and some advice. It was surprisingly helpful, and it gave some good solutions, such as like a fun spring workout. However, I have no idea why they gave worse dresser for Jennifer Stone who is little chubby, and gave best dresser to Emma Robert who is skinny. They both looked fine to me, but I thought it would lower some “girls” self-esteem, because they are little bigger…

    Magazine Research and Review For this paper I chose to compare Time Magazine for the News, Discover Magazine for the research-journal, and Mens Health for the health-related. First, I will be comparing the percentage of advertisements verses editorial copy, who the ads are aimed at, as well as how they are portrayed. Second, the number of males compared to females portrayed in pictures, number of people in ethnic groups, and lastly the number of writers with male names compared to female names along with more details. First I will talk about the percentage of advertisements compared to editorial copy in each magazine. After looking through all of the magazines, Mens Health ended up having the most advertisements. With an estimate around thirty percent editorial copy and seventy percent advertisements a big majority of the magazine was ad content. Most of these advertisements were full page and visually compelling. What I mean be visually compelling is that all the people portrayed in the ads were good looking, perhaps nearly perfect looking models. Along with the good looking models, if there was a product being promoted, that product was modeled perfectly with the design of the page. Because this is a “mens magazine” pretty much all the advertisements were aimed at men, I'm guessing adults around the age of twenty one to fifty. Next for the news magazine I chose Time Magazine. Time, compared to Mens Health had much more editorial copy, with around eighty five percent editorial and fifteen percent advertisement. The advertisements in Time Magazine were a little different to Mens Health in that they were not as visually compelling in my opinion. There was a mix of full page ads and ads mixed in with articles. Although Time has much less advertisements, the ads were not as enjoyable, (this could partly be because they are not aimed at me). Which leads to the next part of this comparison. I would guess that the advertisements in Time are aimed more towards adults with…

    Almost all of us can say that we have read or skimmed through at least five magazines in our lifetime, if not hundreds or thousands of magazines. With an unimaginable variety how could one not? Magazines started its wild journey in 1741 with Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Bradford publishing “General Magazine” and “American Magazine” both of which were America’s first magazines. Both of these magazines were very general magazines but soon led to the concoction of very specific magazines, magazines such as sports, fashion, cooking, décor, trade, business and many other specified magazines became trendier in the magazine field. Many fear the gradual the decaying of printed magazines due to the technology replacing it with online editions and subscriptions available on kindles, computers, nooks and even cellular devices. However magazines are going no where and will survive this massive technology takeover era due to its uniqueness in portability, sentimental value, and successfully complements other mediums and target specific demographics.…
