...As a homosexual couple walks down the sidewalk, they hear the word, “Faggots” being shouted at them from across the street. A group of friends tease a boy because, “he is being too much of a faggot” to ask that one really attractive girl out. At a LGBTQ rally, they cheer for having the reclamation of this slur as one of pride. This current state of flux “faggot” is in is now causing controversy about whether or not this word can be said without any one sort of offense being taken to it. When using the word “faggot”, one enters into a state similar to walking on eggshells for fear that they may have overstepped boundaries and offended someone without intention unless it was meant to offend someone in the most hurtful way possible. The word “faggot” today is in a period of mass transcendence in which it acquires such different meanings and connotations that it all depends on the situation and context it is employed in that makes its meaning offensive or inoffensive to a person....

...You're not a faggot. You can be gay, but you don't have to let nobody call you a faggot. This dialogue really captured me as a viewer because the emotions and aura expressed in this scene was thoughtfully realistic and really captured Little’s innocence. This goes to show how messed up society can be, and the power it can hold over an individual. Not only that but this demonstrates that no matter how much we try to eliminate discrimination it will no be gone completely, but as a parent or guardian you must care for, explain, and listen to their problems and concerns. People want to place him in a category before he even knows what that means Many great cinematic elements were used in the making of this movie, but one that stood out to me was the use of source music. The classical music used...

...“Thee unifying emotional subtext of all these aphorisms involve never showing emotions or admitting to weakness’’ (470). A guy is either a man for the way he acts or his attitude, or a guy is made fun of for not following the code. “What are you,dude,a fag?”(474). If a guy is not following the code, other men call him words like faggot and gay to make fun of his masculinity. Men also never show emotions or weakness, making it harder for them to deal with pain. Guys need the approval from other guys due to the leaders of the guy code being guys themselves. Essays like this one, while they might aim to point out current stereotypes in an effort to turn the tables and break away from them, only further reinforce these notions in those stereotypically-influenced minds. The men were probably nodding and smirking or laughing in agreement as they read this article. I, for one, find it sexist and ridiculous and resign myself to the sad truth that, for the most part, this behavior is engrained so deeply in the male social conscience that it will probably never...

...allowed. Being prejudice can lead to conflicts and racial tension especially in the United States. A conflict with being prejudice can be the lack of connection and being held back from meeting new people and starting new friendships. In reality Prejudice cannot be avoided everyone at one point and time will be or is prejudice. That does not mean that allowing prejudice is ok. Calling someone or a group of people based on race can be seen as prejudice in the eyes of other people. An example of prejudice being used is when Rauch told the story of hearing the word “faggot” on the subway. This is a great example on why prejudice should not be allowed because Rauch got startled because he was a homosexual and the word faggot immediately affected him. This specific moment made Rauch interested in realizing his own fears when he experiences prejudices. One simple word made Rauch turn from a human being to a homosexual faggot who did not belong there. I do not condone or support being prejudice but prejudice is a never ending cycle because everything can be treated and seen as being prejudice and this is what Rauch explained throughout the reading. ...

...heart-shaped grenade. While the cover gave me an idea for one of the shoot's best photos, it was the music within that gave voice to my anger and consoled my relentlessness, assuring me that I wasn't the only one that believed so passionately that our country was on the wrong track." (page 1, paragraph 4) An example of textual analysis is when you analyzed the term "Redneck Agenda" that had been previously mentioned in the essay. "The 'Redneck Agenda' might also be referring to another favorite punching bag that Armstrong hits in many other songs on the album (most notibly 'Jesus of Suburbia'), the religious right wing of the conservative party." (page 4, paragraph 1) An example of word analysis is when you analyzed the word, "faggot". "while the word 'faggot' is a slang, derogatory term for a homosexual, it has also been used to define anyone who refuses to fight or be 'manly'". (page 3, paragraph 3) An example of a sentence analysis is when you analyzed a line in the song. "With this in mind, the line in the song, 'One nation controlled by the media,' an obvious reference to the pledge, can be brough into connection with both the 'Redneck agenda' and the 'Ages of paranoia.'" (page 4, paragraph 3) 3. I liked the introduction. I didn't know where it was leading to at first, but I understood as I read, and it fit...

...aggressive inmates and staff. If correctional officer witnesses a juvenile being harmed that have to intervene. This does not always occur happen. Many LGBT youth incarcerated are being physically and mentally harmed. Physical harassment is a major problem for LGBT youth, though it is not citied as often as other types of harassments. As on one transgender youth described her experience, “Most people in here are stupid. They treat me like I’m not a human. They call me ‘faggot’ and tell me I have no life.” She continued to state how at her limited-secure OCFS facility that she is regularly verbally abused and taunted by other residents. She also stated that they treat her “like trash, like an animal.” Other boys stated how they were called names like ‘faggot, fag, and queer’ by the other boys and even some staff members. Staff is supposed to keep them safe from harassments and violence. One boy said “I got jumped by a bunch of boys at my group home and when I old the director he said, ‘Well, if you weren’t a faggot they wouldn’t beat you up. Sometimes staff is the root of the problem. Either they just don’t care what is going on and believe that what they get for being so gay. Others are the one harassing the LGBT youth. One attorney discussed one of his cases where a gay youth was hit and spat on by a staff member. He was also threatened to be sent to the bathrooms with the other boys, if he continued to cross-dress and “act gay.” The youth was unable to do anything about it because...

...1. After reading these stories, out of the whole passage one paragraph stuck out to me the most. ".. but everyone acted like his best friend when he shot himself in the head with his step dads hunting rifle. They hung his photo during school and all the kinds pinned paper flowers and RIP notes, but no one said sorry for calling him a faggot or sticking up in his hair.." (Coyote, 88) I chose this passage because it provoked raw emotion. I've never been so angry reading something. I think I picked it because it stood out to me, because although I'm straight, I've been bullied, I think everyone in one point or another in their life has been bullied. After reading this, it just made me think how mean society can be to people that are just a little different. I've been bullied for many different things, but mostly for things I can change and I had a hard time dealing with it at the time. I can only imagine how hard it is for someone to get picked on and essentially harassed for something they can't change, that's who they are. I guess I picked this passage for the sole fact that it brought out the inner emotion in me, then the rest of the story. 2. Like I had previously stated, I chose this particular passing because it brought out the most emotion in me while reading. This whole story, I had mixed emotions of sadness, confusion and joy. However this part had me outraged and furious. After reading this, I have never been so mad, I felt sick. It's crazy to me how so many...

...Band was calling all Americans “idiots” and referring to President George W. Bush, with the use of the words “Redneck agenda.” Although the actual meaning behind the lyrics is political, it is said to be an attempt to inform American’s that they are being “subliminal[ly] mindfucked. In the lines “One nation controlled by the media/Information age of hysteria” Green Day is stating that Americans are being told what to think and what to be hysterical about by the media, we are not thinking for ourselves nor are we being given the chance to because the media only tells us what they want us to know. Also the narrator “doesn't want people to be convinced that it's right to hate someone because of their sexual preferences ("maybe I'm the faggot America"), doesn't want the nation to be isolated and detested because of stupid decisions that the government makes ("Welcome to a new kind of tension, all across the alienation").”...

...demanded it. For the last two Friday's we had plenty of tgirls, but still we had a bunch of genetic girls, because no one was keepng a schedule. So hardly any of us made even our house fees,and everyone had to scramble to find people to flirt with/lap dance with, whatever it is that we strippers do. This last friday, on a day that was very tense as another co worker's job was on the line for basically pissing off another tgirl outside of the club (a bullshit reason), I just happened to go up to the wrong guy. It was nearing the end of the night and I hadn't made any money, but apparently the guy I went to was there to see one of the cis-gendered females. When I apptempted to flirt with him, I got the whole "You're a guy" and "I'm not a faggot' stuff, and it quickly escalated from that. I was like "why are you even here?" which is the question I had to ask. I also learned later that earier, someone overheard him telling me to "go home" If a TS strip club is a safe haven for ts girls, and THEIR ADMIRERS, then the customer base is comfortable with being there. I threatened to quit over this and I was told that the genetic girls working the night shift would be let go, or de-emphazised at the least. Since day one the day shift girls (who used to work night shift), have been resentful that us tgirls took their nights. But now I've learned that management thinks the cis-girls break the ice for the trans-curious guys. Sadly, I have more than enough evidence that suggests completely...

I can’t believe Kristern Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson this is not anything to LOL about because I love both of them. So Katie Holmes blinded sided Tom Cruise is this really about Scientology or about Tom coming out of the closet? LOL. This thing can get really addictive sometimes someone can just text you and say, “Sleeping at home, LOL”. And I’m thinking why you, Laughing Out Loud? Whenever Julius Malema’s name is mentioned, the sentence probably ends with, LOL. People no longer laugh, they would rather have the computer do it for them, could this be, that the Terminator: The Rise of the machine is a glimpse into the future? Imagine if when you attended stand-up comedy and whenever something funny was said you could just hold up a card that reads “LOL”, how funny would comedians really be? I recently came to the realization that no matter how much you want to succeed, you never will. Maybe if you were a bird you would be a penguin…no matter how much it wants to, it can never fly, LOL.

...Bullying Report Theodore Ofstedahl BSHS 325 June 30, 2014 Jennifer Munro Bullying Report As school counselors, understanding bullying, and dealing with bullying, will help students in many areas. Counselors need to understand the severe impact it has on its victims. Understanding bullying will remove fear, improve self-esteem, improve grades, and in worse case scenarios’ save lives. We are going to take a look at the components, and types of bullying. How does bullying affect self-esteem? What are the gender and sexual orientation influences, and the effect of family interactions? The effects of bullying causes emotional distress, depression, fear, worry, anxiety, humiliation, loss of self-esteem, and can lead to suicide. The goals of the bully, is to be dominant over their victims, control their victim, and to project on to the victim, feelings of vulnerability. Power imbalance is an important factor for the bully, because they view their victims unable to defend themselves. (2011, Conflict with Character) Bullies seek weak, vulnerable victims, and the victims are left with feelings of helplessness. Bullying is often progressive, and victims are bullied through various methods, which include direct, verbal and indirect bullying. Direct bullying includes shoving, pushing, spitting, or hitting, and kicking. Remember, bulling is not a joke, or an accident, it is direct harassment done on purpose. Direct bullying is an aggressive method, taking advantage of age,...
