...experience. These advertisements can be found on the TV, on your way to work, in the paper, or in a magazine. Ads are meant to be seen, and their message is meant to be heard. Many ads have always incorporated a part of society into it. Whether this be music, race, patriotism, sexism, or sexuality, ads are meant to define society. Ads are based off what society believes are social norms, standards, and values currently in society. Sociology in Advertising DOVE: “Dove VisibleCare” (Print Media) Racism To start off the analysis of this advertisement, we must identify the target audience. Although it can be debated or perceived in a different way, it seems plausible that the target audience for this advertisement is an African American woman who desires to have smoother skin. This is based off the positioning of the models in relation to one another, which not only provides clues about who the target audience is but also the racial ideologies that are still prevalent in society today. All three female models in the advertisement appear to be of different race judging from their skin color. Whether Dove meant to line them up like this or not, they are lined up from darkest to lightest starting from left to right. It is also ironic to note the two panels in the background. The panels are a representation of “before” and “after” pictures of what skin might look like before and after using Dove’s product. The panel behind the African American model is the “before” picture, which...

...My personal engagement project consisted of me working with the homeless community. I was a case manager at a family shelter in framingham, and we had a woman named Laurie Laba sponsor the shelter. I later began to help assist Laurie in her community work with the homeless. Laurie and I are both very civically engaged with the homeless community in many ways. Laurie’s husband, Neale, is a music producer. Her produces folk music and they hold concerts at their house in Sudbury, Ma. Typically three or two months prior to the concert Laurie and I type up a detailed flyer regarding information about the concert. On the left side of the flyer is a section that is named homeless community. Underneath that section we give a brief description about the family shelter is framingham and list what the needs are for the house. We don't just come up with a random list of what we think the shelter might need. Prior to making the flyer we call or sometimes show up in person and speak with the program supervisor about what are the most important things that the families living in the shelter and the shelter itself is in need for. Depending on the season, we would typically be told that the shelter is in need of winter, or summer clothes. We would get a lot of toiletries request, such as paper towels, toilet papers, and cleaning supplies. The children living in the shelter vary from newborn to 17 years old, so we often like to get a list of the children's sizes, and favorite colors, so we could...

...examine the fears that the Americans had in the 1930’s and exemplify the hardships that they had to face during a rough phase in their lives. The poor struggled in keeping their homes during this time in fear of losing it because of financial trouble. For example, Mrs. A. M. U. from Iowa and had great hardship in 1934. She wrote a letter to President Roosevelt begging for money to help pay for her house. Mrs. A. M. U. said, “if I could only raise thirteen Hundred Dollars than I could Stay in my home” (173). She begs him by asking for that money so she won’t be homeless. The determination that she had led her to write a letter to the president because her fear became so heavy that she had to come up with a solution. Many other Americans witnessed the same hardship. An anonymous young boy from Illinois wrote in fear that his father would not be able to get a job and they would lose their home. He states that his family “[hasn’t] paid rent in 4 months” (173). He is terrified for his family because he knows that they will lose their home if the rent is never paid off. The fear of losing their home led to a child gaining the courage to send a letter to the president in hope of positive return. This shows the will power of Americans to fight for their families and gain what they...

...not. Eventually, David recovered from his injuries, and at that time, Barton had dedicated her life to helping others. By the age of 13, Barton realized she was suited to be a nurse, but she decided to pursue her earlier dream of being a teacher (Fishwick 24). She became a teacher by the age of 17, and she was an educator for 12 years in schools in Canada and America. In 1852, Clara Barton opened a free, public school in Bordentown, New Jersey. She was very successful, but she was replaced as principal by a man. The school board found it unfitting for the position of principal to be help by a woman. When she was demoted to female assistant, Barton quit from her job. Soon after quitting, she moved to Washington, D.C. and began to work as a clerk in the US Patent Office. This was the first time a woman had received a clerkship in the federal government. It was also the first time for a woman to receive the pay of a man’s. In 1856, her position was eliminated entirely (Publishers Weekly). Barton returned home shortly after losing her job. With the impending war, Barton’s father convinced her it was her duty as a devout Christian to help the soldiers of the Civil War. Again, Barton returned to Washington. D.C. to gather medical supplies for the war. She was granted permission from Daniel Rucker, Major General of the US Army, to work on the front lines of the war. She gained a lot from other people, especially women, who believed in her cause. Barton worked to distribute stores, clean...

...lines or from the home front. They had the unique opportunity to capitalize on the war and make societal changes that benefitted women both then and now. They touched the masses at home and abroad with their detailed pictorial reporting of the events of WWII. May Craig was a southern woman employed as a Washington columnist - correspondent by a Maine-based newspaper. She made the brave decision to go to the front lines and the Library of Congress noted in Women Come to the Front, “to report eye witness accounts of the atrocities of the V-bombs, Normandy campaign, and the liberation of Paris.” She fought for women’s rights as a war correspondent, frequently having to successfully go up against the military’s rules forbidding women on planes and ships. She did not let the war complete her reputation as a trend changer; as the Library of Congress noted, “she continued to fight for women’s rights as a photographic reporter by leading the Eleanor Roosevelt Press Conference Organization and the Women’s National Press Club.” Therese Bonney settled in Paris and was also employed as a war correspondent, but mostly on the ground while focusing on the sufferings of the casualties of WWII; the homeless adults and children. She wanted the people at home to wake up and notice what was going on and...

...Dianne Ventura Professor Dunn Hum: 1025 John and Mable Ringling Museum As we drove up to the entrance of the John and Mable Ringling Museum, I was taken back for a moment. How could I have lived here in Tampa for seventeen years and never visit this place? I walked in and saw the grounds; this place was huge, well kept and full of history. My first stop was a stroll through Marble rose garden, it was beautiful , over one thousand-two hundred roses are planted in the garden the beautiful marble sculptures was placed in the right order, not overpowering the garden but just enough to accent the landscape. The stroll quiet relaxing, the cool air flowing through the trees, the sweet smell of morning dew on rose petal was the perfect way to begin the day. As my stroll ended I was told that the large tree surrounding the ground was much smaller, giving Mable a clear view of her garden from every room in her mansion. My next stop was the Museum of Art, what a beautiful exhibit. This was actually my favorite place in the entire museum. The first thing that captured my eye, was the twenty feet DAVID towing over the garden. Even though it was not the original, it was radiant. His poise and grace just over took the outdoor quarter. Viewing a sculpture in a text book and actually touching and seeing it in person is amazing. Remembering what I was taught in class; I started reviewing him carefully. Searching for all the characteristics was amazing. I was enjoying this and...

...ABSTRACT Shards of Memories, Fragments of Sorrows: Mothertongue Transforming Spaces Occupied by Women in South Africa through Theatre This paper sets out to explore how processes of theatre making employed by The Mothertongue project, provide spaces for women to remap their personal narratives. Mothertongue works from the premise that the development and subsequent performance of stories in theatrical processes affords women the opportunity to re-write and remap their personal narratives and in so doing insert their voices into the landscape of South African Theatre. In an attempt to redress the gender imbalances and androcentricism prevalent in post-apartheid theatre, this paper speaks to the relationship between theatre, liminality and communitas. I am interested in unpacking how collaborative processes of theatre-making provide spaces for women to remap their personal narratives. Remapping in this instance refers to processes of transforming lived experience through story. I address how, through engaging in ritual activities that are central to the stories performed, actors, audiences and the owners of the source stories are invited to physically participate in remapping and transforming lived experience. Linked to this is the choice of form(s) and how this affects or impacts on the performed stories as well as on the construction of performed rituals and ultimately on the processes of remapping personal narratives. I focus specifically on Mothertongue’s 2004...

...Wave of Evictions Leads to Homeless Crisis in Spain By SUZANNE DALEYNOV. 11, 2012 SEVILLE, Spain — The first night after Francisco Rodríguez Flores, 71, and his wife, Ana López Corral, 67, were evicted from their small apartment here after falling behind on their mortgage, they slept in the entrance hall of their building. Their daughters, both unemployed and living with them, slept in a neighbor’s van. “It was the worst thing ever,” Mrs. López said recently, studying her hands. “You can’t imagine what it felt like to be there in that hall. It’s a story you can’t really tell because it is not the same as living it.” Things are somewhat better now. The Rodríguezes are among the 36 families who have taken over a luxury apartment block here that had been vacant for three years. There is no electricity. The water was recently cut off, and there is the fear that the authorities will evict them once again. But, Mrs. López says, they are not living on the street — at least not yet. Continue reading the main story Related Coverage * slideshow The number of Spanish families facing eviction continues to mount at a dizzying pace — hundreds a day, housing advocates say. The problem has become so acute that Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has promised to announce emergency measures on Monday, though what they may be remains unclear. While some are able to move in with family members, a growing number, like the Rodríguezes, have no such option. Their relatives are in no...

...” Some people might think that Singer is just out of his mind, but I think he was angering the reader by making harsh accusations on purpose. Singer opens his essay with a ridiculous story from a film about a fictional woman named Dora. In the story, Dora is a “retired schoolteacher who makes ends meet by sitting at the station writing letters for illiterate people.” First off, how could anyone make enough money to live comfortably like that? She ends up selling a homeless boy to what she is told to be a “wealthy family.” Her neighbor somehow knows that this is not the case, that the boy will be put to death and his organs sold. Second of all, how does the neighbor know this? This accusation is not explained. Dora then goes home with her brand new television, feels guilty, and takes the boy back. Why would Dora do this without further research? She has no proof other than passing words of her neighbor that he will be killed. Perhaps in the film, this is explained, but Singer does not elaborate further on this subject. He just assumes that this is the case, that the boy will be killed, and that Dora is a fool for not knowing this sooner. He then compares the unspeakable: “what is the ethical distinction,” he begins, “between a Brazilian who sells a homeless child to...

...Historical Events Question 2: World War 1 The First World War broke up in 1914 when the Germany forces started to fight against the Entente forces. In the next three years, the United States remained neutral and did not take part in the war. However, in 1917, the US Congress declared war against Germany forces due to two main reasons. First, the US government had signed an agreement with the Germany government that the Germany Submarines should not attack passenger ships in the Mediterranean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean. In February 1917, the Germany violated this agreement which annoyed the US government. Second, the Germany government had written a letter advising Mexico to attack the US. This letter was intercepted by the British, and when the United States received it, the Congress declared war against the Germany forces. The First World War was debatable war in America because there were conflicting pubic opinions. On one hand was German Americans, who were with the German government. Most of the Americans with British and France, on the other hand, origin supported the Entente forces and wanted the US to fight against the Germany. Therefore, President Wilson feared that the war would divide the country....

...life as a slave for the white folks was great, so great, that when slavery ended and African Americans were given their freedom, she stayed because of the way her master treated her and stayed loyal to him and his family until he passed away. During the time of slavery, Hines, was never treated bad, nor was she ever beaten or raped by her masters. While some people were starved, and treated like cats and dogs, Hines, was fed and clothed and kept them on a higher level (Hines, M p.34). The next reading I will be talking about is, “To my old Master,” by Jourdan Anderson. This story is a great message about how the African American people were treated so awful by the White Americans. Anderson is actually writing in response to a letter he received from an old master of his. The master wrote Anderson, wanting him and his family to come work for them again. By the way that Anderson and his family had been mistreated before, he refuses to go back to the master unless him and his wife were compensated...

...An affluent banker systematically donates money to multiple charities, and therefore considers himself a giving person. After just auctioning off an $800 painting, he takes to walking the busy streets of Gainesville. While contemplating his generous conduct, he avoids a homeless man some ways away from him. Hoping to avoid the man, he hastily crosses the street to avoid the dirty beggar. Looking over his shoulder, he thinks I’m sick of his druggies, and proceeds on with his day. This is how Flannery O’Connor portrays the “holier than thou” concepts that are continuously presented throughout her writing. Her religion was deeply instilled in her and she portrays her love for it in her writings. O’Connor’s strongest experiences originated through...
