...the formation of punk help locate the inter-racial influences of the Dogtown skating scene? Or does Hebdige’s insistence on the metropolitan render the ‘ethnic’ experience a historically specific moment with essentialist characteristics? • In relation to the above, is Hebdige’s London-based study congruent with the California skating/surfing scene of the early-to-mid 1970s? Do the Z-boys conform to Hebdige’s notion of the ‘spectacular’? • McRobbie and Garber identify a patriarchal discourse within Hebdige’s work, in which they suggest ‘(girls) are absent from the classic subcultural ethnographic studies, the pop histories, the personal accounts…of the field’ (Gelder & Thornton (eds).1997, p112). Does this assertion coincide with the difficulties in applying a structuralist approach to the analysis of the sole female member of Z-boys? Theoretical Framework • Hebdige- Subculture: The meaning of Style. Structuralist approach, • (BCCS)Marxist based. Utilises semiotics to locate working-class modes of consumption in reaction to dominant forms of production. • Stratton- On the importance of subcultural origins.

...still only small step away from evictions and then to homelessness (Preston et al. 2009). MacDonald’s life-course perspective on the victims of the housing crisis enlightens communities on the many changes in one’s life and how it can affect the state of his or her present housing issues. I believe that homelessness isn’t due to just lack of affordability, but also the circumstances that lead to it in one’s life. For immigrants, their lifestyles affect how they behave and decide on home. The lack of information on the background of immigrants prompts for more research to be done in order to better understand the issue faced with immigrants and to help them. This can be executed with research through surveys, and perhaps interviews, on the origins of the immigrants, why they immigrated to Canada, and why they immigrated to a particular Canadian...

...Users tend to choose meaningful words from dictionary or their pet names, girlfriends etc. Ten years back Klein performed such tests and he could crack 10-15 passwords per day. On the other hand, if a password is hard to guess, then it is often hard to remember. Users have difficulty remembering a password that is long and random appearing. So, they create short, simple, and insecure passwords that are susceptible to attack. Which make textual passwords easy to break and vulnerable to dictionary or brute force attacks. Graphical passwords schemes have been proposed. The strength of graphical passwords comes from the fact that users can recall and recognize pictures more than words. Most graphical passwords are vulnerable for shoulder surfing attacks, where an attacker can observe or record the legitimate user’s graphical password by camera. Token based systems such as ATMs are widely applied in banking systems and in laboratories entrances as a mean of authentication. However, Smart cards or tokens are vulnerable to loss or theft. Moreover, the user has to carry the token whenever access required. Biometric scanning is your "natural" signature and Cards or Tokens prove your validity. But some people hate the fact to carry around their cards, some refuse to undergo strong IR exposure to their retinas (Biometric scanning). In this paper, we present and evaluate our contribution, i.e., the 3-D password. The 3-D password is a multifactor authentication scheme. To...

...Marikina High School F.Torres St., Concepcion Uno, Marikina City SOCIAL ANXIETY A research paper presented to Mr. Fernando T. Tuliao Faculty of the English Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements Of the subject English IV By Ulrich R. Timan January 2014 Social Anxiety For some strange reason, Teenagers nowadays are more likely to be found starring at their Computer Screen, Logged in in their favorite Social Media Site. Is it just us or is it just the internet’s hooking abilities that’s caging us to this imaginary dome? Let me remind you that it’s normal for us teenagers to enjoy being at home while surfing the net, but somehow we’re missing something here; maybe it’s not the internet, what if it’s the teenagers itself that’s being the problem here. Let’s take a closer look. Social anxiety is a discomfort or a fear when a person is in social interactions that involve a concern about being judged or evaluated by others. It is typically characterized by an intense fear of what others are thinking about them (specifically fear of embarrassment, criticism, or rejection), which results in the individual feeling insecure, not good enough for other people, and/or the assumption that peers will automatically reject them. Developmental social anxiety occurs early in childhood as a normal part of the development of social functioning, and is a stage that most children grow out of, but it may persist or resurface and grow into chronic social anxiety...

...Wilson 1 Stuart Wilson Professor Jones English 112 03/29/2014 Annotated Bibliography This source’s main purpose is to explain the history, definition and phenomenal of social network sites (SNSs). SNSs are merging cultures while creating relationships with those with similar interest. It explains the origins of several SNSs and how they became popular so fast. It discusses how different cultures use these as communication tools. This piece contains a lot of background information that is needed to understand the origins of SNSs. Even though there is not a specific study conducted in this piece, it helps audience members understand SNSs as it evolves and grows over night. It’s hard to fully understand what SNSs are the most effective ways to interact. Audience member may include who don’t understand SNSs. The limitation may be with their audience members because audience members may not fully understand the origin of SNSs because it still is “new” to the world. This research was conducted by a professor at Iowa State University. His results indicate the misuses of Facebook. He acknowledges how his students text-message during class, talk on their cell phones, and use wireless lecture halls as a time to get on Facebook. He does agree that Facebook is a positive tool but students can be affected by social networks. Most of his concerns are how students use Facebook unethically. His argument concentrates of the improper uses of Facebook. Audience members may include other professors/faculty...

...stylishly dressed man who behaved as if he thought highly of himself. It was later used to describe a man from the civilized eastern region of America who believed he could fit in within the rough western territory. Dude ranches were devised as tourist attractions to lure city slickers to the often romanticized West. The word was often used in mocking to describe people who were out of place in their environment. In the 20th century the meaning shifted from one of parody to a more causal meaning used to imply casual relationships between heterosexual males. It implied camaraderie and brotherhood without any intimacy. This form of meaning began with African Americans and later permeated other communities. In the 1960s it was very popular in surfing communities, then a decade later it was used merely to refer to a male. In the 1980s and 90s, dude permeated the entertainment business in such films as “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” “Wayne’s World,” and the highly popular children’s show “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” At this time dude became an exclamation to be used with awesome and whoa, along...

...One day in the afternoon while I was surfing on the Internet, one of my friends forwarded a really interesting website addressed www.stillfree.com to me. At the beginning, I thought it was some kind of shopping promotional website but after clicking on it, an interesting video popped up. I saw a man being video recorded while he was climbing up a fence of a military airport. Then, he ran quickly towards the Air Force One, which is the personal aircraft of the President of the United States, and tagged a graffiti drawing on the jet. It gave me a big shock after watching the video because that man actually sneaked in to the US military airbase and tagged the Air force One aircraft. The event was being broadcast on some major TV channels. After making everything clear, I realized that video was not really took place at the US airbase and it was actually made up by a prominent fashion designer Marc Ecko. The whole process of the video was so real, but it came up as a campaign video to promote the art of graffiti. There are many different points of view on graffiti and it has always aroused arguments on its legalization. Graffiti can be recognized as a form of art, or crime. Graffiti consists of inscriptions, slogans and drawings scratched, scribbled or painted on a wall or other public or private surface. According to The Dictionary of Art, the word "graffiti" is derived from the Greek term "graphein" (to write) and the word "graffiti" itself is plural of the Italian word "graffito...

...“A study about the effects of watching Anime to the study habit of high school students.” A. Background of the Study Anime is a type of cartoon but rather, it is complex, mature, broader, and even the animation drawing is on a higher level than that of a mere cartoon. Anime, which originated in Japan, is drawn by a “Mangaka” (artist) into manga (comic) drafts. These drafts are then rearranged, colored and synchronized by a hundred of staff. After the sequencing, a “Seiyuu” (Voice Actor) will give life to the character. One second of movement needs twenty-five to thirty-five drafts of drawing. Since it originated in Japan, most of the Animes shows the culture and hidden beauty of Japan, its technological advancement, friendship, love and student’s life, the Japanese way. Popular nowadays, Anime had touched the heart of many viewers. Some popular Anime such as DragonBall Z, Ghost Fighter, Naruto and Voltes V. This Animes had dominated the media industry in the past few years. Japan has a very unique culture. The Philippines, on the other hand, lacks that kind of culture, that is, its very own culture is made of by the mixture of cultures of other countries such as America, Spain and China. That is why many Filipinos are fascinated with such culture. Anime proposed amazing concepts and catchy storyline that is humorous yet fascinating. It also features some future ideas about what would take place in the future and what technological advancements can people expect...

...The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1755-4217.htm WHATT 1,3 Is tourism with a low impact on climate possible? Jonathan Chenoweth Centre for Environmental Strategy, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of a range of different travel and tourism options, and quantifies the carbon-dioxide emissions resulting from international vacations, breaking down emissions categories into those resulting from transport, accommodation and recreation. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses summary data to review a range of possible vacation scenarios and examines their relative carbon-dioxide emissions in order to compare the relative climatic impact of different forms of tourism and vacation options. Findings – The paper concludes that intercontinental flights and cruise ship travel are particularly carbon-intensive, which suggests that these two forms of tourism will be particularly vulnerable to any policy initiative to curb or price carbon emissions. Ends by considering whether climatically responsible international tourism is possible, and outlines some low-carbon options. Originality/value – The paper relates data on carbon emissions to the implications for tourism arising from climate change. Keywords Climatology, Tourism, Global warming Paper type General review 274 The nature of the challenge While much of the discussion about the climate...
