    This book will teach the generations to come that if you want to be beautiful you’ll have to be a whole new person, a photo shopped fake. Today in advertisements and magazines we are presented with beautiful images of men and women, girls and boys. We are presented with fake pictures, imaginary pictures, something that will never happen, but we are totally fooled into believing that true beauty is what’s presented in magazines and advertisements. This book teaches us that our imperfections make us beautiful, that for beauty you lose your people, and you’ll regret it. The imagination of being perfect is told in someone else’s point of view. Our society is proven to believe that a person with a combination of qualities that pleases others is beautiful, but your imperfections are what make you beautiful. As Marilyn Monroe said “Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” Tally is taught in The Smoke, that alongside the surgery, “uglies” face tiny complications from the anaesthetic used in the operation, tiny lesions in the brain that were barely visible.

    Initially, I looked at Dead Island and figured it would be a game only about killing zombies. I did not have an issue with the game, I just wanted to play it in order to see what it was about. I did not see any controversy that it could have caused. I did not see any controversy that it could have causes and I do not see how it would be fair to have an issue within the game. The controversy seemed to stem from the trailer where a female teen was thrown from a window. I believe that it is not fair, if it were a male teen, no one would mind. Most people would probably laugh, for some reason when it comes to girls, people believe we are too emotional, sensitive, and weak. It’s only a cartoon and it is not that serious, now if someone was mutilating her, I could see it as an issue. The criticism is unfair because we have heard of worse. The article states that it was a pre-teen zombie whose parent throw her out of a window. She was a zombie, would it have been better if the parent allowed her to stay? Would it have been…

    WWII brought about significant changes in the role of women in the workforce, as more women were needed in factories to compensate for the men fighting abroad. However, in the late 1940s, the end of WWII signaled the beginning of women's return to the home sphere, where they took care of children and the home. Joseph Campbell's novel, The Hero With A Thousand Faces, which was published in 1949, emanates some of the gender roles held dear to many Americans at the time: women are mothers, caretakers, beautiful, and many times, seductive or manipulative. These ideas may seem old, but in the 21st century they are still sometimes clearly portrayed, even in situations of gender role reversal.…

Since society has its own perception of what is beautiful women try and do whatever it takes to fit into that definition. This is why women get breast implants or breast reduction surgery. In the authors point of view these are unnecessary surgeries that people shouldn’t waste their time and money on because theirs no real benefit coming out of it.…

    In the novel The Edible Woman, author Margaret Atwood tackles the difficult subject of anorexia nervosa. Although this subject is often handled with kid gloves by many writers, Atwood’s novel candidly addresses how different food related stigmas affect the main character’s day to day existence. In the late 1960's, young women faced a society that expected them to conform to certain qualities in both appearance and demeanor. The portrayal of young women in popular movies, television and music of the time period led to internal conflicts among women who struggled to achieve the norm put forth by society. Young women everywhere were convinced they needed to look and act like Marcia Brady and turn into Carol Brady even if meant sacrificing their…

    Civil rights and legal mobilization movements all start from a root. The root being a grievance in which a person’s fundamental rights are being compromised whether it be a right that is explicitly written in the constitution or an enumerated right. The Fundamental rights are rights that are recognized by the Supreme Court as being fair and legal. The fundamental rights are illustrated in the first amendment. As it reads “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”.…

    By the 1860’s the Industrial Revolution had settled into the lives of Europe and was taking a firm hold on the social norm, cultural expectations, and the business practice in its entirety. In their wake, machines of the Industrial Revolution replaced human artistry. It was precisely because of these that made human craftsmanship outdated and obsolete; it was precisely because of these that the big department store, an emblem of capitalism, was able to emerge, dominate, and swallow up smaller competition. As a contemporary issue for its time, it is no surprise that The Ladies’ Paradise, by Émile Zola, concentrates on the struggle of the smaller shops and the immense success and dominance of the big, new department…

    The New Woman Analysis

    The New Woman was conveyed through the artists illustrations beginning in the 1880’s and continuing through the years, ending in the 1920’s. These images such as the works titled, “What Are We Coming To”, “In a Twentieth Century Club”, “Picturesque America”, and “Women Bachelors In New York”, all conveyed this idea of a “New Woman”. The qualities that a New Woman must have included a woman who pursued the highest education and made effort to move up in the professional world. “She (the New Woman) also demonstrated new patterns of private life, from shopping in the new urban department stores, to riding bicycles, and playing golf.” (pg. 374) The artists attempted to create this perfect all around woman who’s lives closely resembled what the men of that time were doing. Such as in figure 6.8 titled “In a Twentieth Century Club” which shows women dressed in clothing which closely resembled that of a mans attire for that era, at leisure, socializing with other woman. This “club” looked very similar to a men’s drinking and eating club. “ Although role reversal still provides the humor, the women waitresses and patrons are physically attractive, while the women’s unladylike posture and clothing would have been viewed as shocking equally significant is the cross dressing entertainer.” (pg. 374) Not only did artists attempt to convey a way that the New Woman should act, but they also created this popular physical image of what one should look like such as the Gibson Girls pictured in image 6.9. Most all of the illustrations showed a white woman of the leisure class, however African American women still envisioned and strived to become a New African American Woman.…

    This essay will offer a feminist analysis of sexism in superhero comic books, a topic I explore in my recent podcast on female representation in comics. I will “examine how comic books reinforce or undermine the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women” As part of my research, I conducted a very unscientific survey where I asked the question, “Is there sexism in superhero comic books?" Not surprisingly most women I asked believed comic books are sexist. Most of the men questioned believed comic books are not sexist. At best some men think the sexualization of men and women is equal. I also went on the street and asked both men and women to name male and female superheroes for me. As expected everyone had a vast knowledge of male superheroes but struggled with naming female superheroes.…
