...same can be said for Tyler Perry who took all his money and made a bad investment which left him penniless and he also had to sleep in his car. These two men had the courage to bounce back after living homeless, sleeping in their cars, and have now become world- renowned icons in the comedy world. Tyler Perry is a better comedian than Steve Harvey because Tyler Perry does not use profanity and his style of comedy is acceptable to all ages. During a performance on television Steve Harvey was preparing to come onto the stage. The room was dark, full of cigarette smoke, people drinking, looking around at each other. Suddenly a light shined on the stage. Displayed was a big flashy sign with his signature in bright colors. The master of ceremonies ran out on the stage and yells “Ladies and gentlemen, put ya hands together and show ya love for Steveeeeee Harvaaaaaaay”. Harvey walked out on the stage and immediately began to start talking about some” crazy fool” who cut him off on the freeway, calling him names, and talking about his mother. He started telling jokes about people in reference to their gender, race and making sexual references. This is his typical comedy style. Steve Harvey is now active in the radio scene and he works with Judge Mathis. He has a morning show and sometimes has to limit his vocabulary because of his audience. While working with Judge Mathis he can be found using his comedy to...

...groups and is therefore trying to be minimised through the use of politically correct language. Whilst politically correct language is a growing concept in contemporary Australian society, discriminatory language is still seen widely throughout the community. This includes the use of sexist, racist, homophobic and ageist discourse. Whether intentional or not, sexist language is present in a range of situations and contexts. Sexist language can be more covert such as calling women “pushy” while men are “assertive” or more overt such as calling a woman “gorgeous” but not a man. Sexism is most often seen when referring to women, but this could also be that it is more acceptable to be sexist to men than women. Sexism can take many different forms, for example calling one sex by derogatory or negatively associated names and even can include the way some men will refrain from using rude language around women. This shows both the positive and negative discrimination that occurs through sexist language. Sexism is clearly a prejudice held in society and is reflected in the sexist language used towards the first female Prime Minister for Australia, Julia Gillard. Julia Gillard was said to have “lied” where Ted Bailleu has a “breach of faith”. While this is not the most obvious form of discrimination, it is still clear that sexist views are held by many in society. Racism has become a touchy subject although many individuals still use racist language in everyday discourse. This language is...

...276). According to Delph-Janiurek, voices are limited within the confines of certain societal hegemonic norms. He explains that the relationship between voices and bodies is not necessarily physiological; voices are vocal “performances”. There exists a pre-established gender duality within society, in which masculinity and the “male” voice is associated with the male body, and femininity and the “female” voice is associated with the female body. Thus, what is considered to be a “natural” voice is merely a choice made by an individual as to which of the two sides of duality they identify with more (Gamson). This choice is a representation of a gendered and sexualized identity that is influenced by discourse. Gender norms dictate that males identify with the more masculine voice, with a lower pitch and only slight increases in intonation. The stereotypical female voice, on the other hand, is more high pitched, with more variation in intonation (Bonds-Raacke). With this in consideration, Delph Janiurek’s thesis is that voices have a “geography”, and that they can be authored in a certain way within certain societal “spaces” (Giltrow 276). In other words, certain situations demand misperformance of hegemonic gender roles in the form of voice alteration. Delph-Janiurek’s argument is limited in the sense that it does not conduct enough research into different types of social roles in order to properly consider the effectiveness of vocal performance within them. Different geographical...

...Birth control methods have had the roller coaster ride of the century from abstinence to the pill, but one aspect of its history that hasn’t changed is how moral views of the Christian church have played a pivotal role in its slow progression to its current state. Faith has been at the core of all issues of birth control, or lack thereof, for ages as a moral compass in which all action for or against civil changes were made and most importantly the specifications of gender roles. This moral compass has come to play in the birth control issue in many aspects as a deterrent to the growth of the movement, but ultimately was forced to adapt to change as more and more the movement grew. The change from people believing, based on the centuries old...

...Lippincott in New York in 1960 (Topham, 2018). ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ has received both positive and negative feedbacks from a wide audience of readers. However, over the past few decades, the book has been challenged by most learning institutions as well as readers which have led to its ban and censorship from several learning institutions. The objective of this paper is to establish why the book has been challenged. As a classic novel, Harper Lee’s ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ received the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. Although it has been considered a classic literature by several readers, the novel still remains in the top list of the banned books. The novel’s profanity, racial content, and its references to rape have provoked many...

...A LOOK AT THE MEDIA While watching 30 minutes of Fairly Odd Parents on Nickelodeon I noted that the theme was about getting a girl. Timmy Turner, the main character uses his Fairy God Parents to make wishes. He is considered a “good guy” however he abuses his powers. When Timmy uses violence no one makes any complaints. For example, he used Cupid’s arrows to shoot Trixie, the love of his life. The arrows made her fall in love with him. This show tries to justify violence by creating characters that miraculously recover by the next scene or even in the middle of the scene. It seems that Timmy Turner and his Fairy God Parents hold the power in the show. In order for Timmy to make wishes he needs his Fairies. They are to grant him every wish that he wishes for, with some rules of course. Instead of ending with violence Timmy finds a way to reverse his wishes. In this episode his mother was hit with an arrow and fell in love with Mr. Crocker who is Timmy’s teacher and foe. Timmy lives with his mother and father. They are married and their relationship with Timmy is portrayed negatively. There has been an episode or two that shows his parents grounding him, other than that adult guidance is absent. It is very easy for Timmy to trick his parents. He can do that with or without his fairies. They don’t seem to really care what Timmy does. His parents are rarely home. They leave him with a terrible baby sitter named Vicky while they go out. Most main characters are males (Timmy...

...Significant Legal Decisions Involving Hate Speech in America What exactly is Hate Speech? There are many different variations to this answer. According to dictionary.com, it is “speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation” (“hate speech”). Anthony Lewis’ description of hate speech focuses more on the people it aims at: “Hate speech, it is called: virulent attack on Jews, blacks, Muslims, homosexuals, or members of any other group. It is pure hatred, not based on any wrong done by an individual” (157) Throughout history, many cases involving hate speech have been brought to court; each of them differ in their own ways and each brought a significant change to our Constitution. Our country prides itself in having freedom for all, and that includes freedom of speech. But when does freedom of speech cross the line? Many court decisions tried to come up with a solid answer, but there may not ever be a successful way to categorize hate speech. All of the cases covered here played a large part in transforming what the First Amendment covers. America started to recognize the significance of hate speech beginning in 1940, and policies began to form to protect offensive speech. At this point in history, hate speech was better known as “racial and religious propaganda” (Walker 62). The Holocaust was a major turning point for America, because we realized the destruction that it caused, and the government wanted to make sure nothing...
