...3. Type/name of the program: How I Met Your Mother, CBS channel 4. Title: How I Met Your Mother, season 2 episode 7 – The Crazy Eyes (Swarley) DESCRIBE THE 20 MINUTE ACTION: Ted, Marshall and Barney are sitting in a coffee shop where they figured out is not as fun as sitting in a bar. While drinking their coffee, Ted notices a heart on Marshall’s cup. He and Barney assume that coffee shop girl has a crush on Marshall. They are encouraging him to invite her on a drink. Marshall brags about how she likes his pumpkin jokes. That in Ted’s opinion can mean only two things – either girl has never heard a joke before, or has a crush on Marshall. Marshall is, however, not convinced. Ted and Barney try to prove him that heart next to his name is meaning something. When doing that, Barney discovers that his name is not written correctly. Instead of Barney is Swarley. He realizes this name will stick to him. Second scene takes place at Robin’s apartment. Robin is girlfriend of Ted. She is on the phone with her mother, but she is willing to talk to Ted even though her mother is still speaking. Ted tells her about Marshall and his date and that he helped him get the girl. Robin discovers that look, that made her sleep with Ted was fake. She can’t believe she fell for it until Ted reminds her that she has a familiar look for seducing.

...Barnabus “Barney” Stinson: A Legen….Wait for It…Dary but Brief Character Analysis Ivy Tech Community College PSYC 101 Barnabus “Barney” Stinson: A Legen….Wait for It…Dary but Brief Character Analysis Barnabus “Barney” Stinson is one of the main characters of the show “How I Met Your Mother”, portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris. “How I Met Your Mother” is a comedy sitcom on CBS about five friends living in New York, which centers on Ted Mosby and his quest to find true love. The series is narrated by the future Ted Mosby telling his children an extremely long and elaborate story about how he met their mother. Barney Stinson is one of Ted’s best friends, and a great source of comedy for the show. Barney is a serial womanizer with father issues and questionable actions. He has a unique personality and uses crazy and elaborate tactics to seduce women. His single mother raised Barney and his older brother James. Barney and James both asked about their fathers but their mother would either lie to them or change the subject. Throughout his childhood, Barney was constantly lied to by his mother to protect his feelings. For example, Barneys mother told him he could not play on the basketball team because he was to good and it would be unfair to the other players, when in reality the coach did not want him on the team. Barney was an unpopular child and was picked on and bullied by other kids his age. One major thing that happened in Barneys adulthood that helped shape his character...

...How I Met Your Mother Show and the Sexist Ideology The television show, How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) was first aired on CBS television in the year 2005. Its airing continued until March 2014 with its different episodes eliciting a lot of public attention and curiosity partly because of the unique way in which its core theme was being passed to the audience. Throughout the TV show, Ted Mosby emerges as an unmatched main character. It is through the activities of Ted and his group of close friends that live in Manhattan that Ted manages to articulate to his daughter and son the various issues, activities, and challenges that he addresses as he falls in love with their mother – Ted’s wife. In this paper, I argue that the show has a sexist ideology that emphasizes the fact that women are easy to manipulate and can be used in any way that a man desires (Matterhorn 4-13; Capps 1-3). The sexist or feminist ideology is very dominant in the show. The relationship between Ted Mosby and other characters plays an important role in communicating critical love relationships in a comic way. The use of comedy greatly helps the film writers and actors to incorporate vital messages in a rather jovial manner. Issues that would otherwise be considered sensitive are therefore portrayed in a keen and very peculiar manner that also addresses the challenges and good experiences that people in relationships often experience. Indeed, Ted is a character in the CBS television show that is over focused...

...This episode starts off just recapping some of things that happened in the first episode. Cornelius Vanderbilt died after a long life of hard work in the business of the railroads. Jon D. Rockefeller shot onto the scene as one of the most successful oil men in America, and as a result almost completely put the railroads out of business. A man that still managed to keep his railroad alive was Tom Scott and hid protege Andrew Carnegie. When Rockefeller found out that Scott had built an oil line that basically undermined the ones that he had already built, he pulled all of his oil off Scott’s train and ultimately put Scott out of business. The fall of Scott’s railroad empire was a huge blow to him and was ultimately caused his death. This was a traumatic experience for Carnegie as Scott was a very important figure in his life. Before Scott died he took Carnegie to the mighty Mississippi and told him his plan to build a bridge across the river to connect the East and West sides of the United States. Carnegie saw this as an opportunity to make it big in the business world just like his mentor Scott did with the railroads. Carnegie from that point on started to meet with different designers and men who had a background in bridge building. Every man that he would speak to kept telling him that it was impossible and that it was never going to work because the iron that they had available at the time wasn’t strong enough to with stand the weight of the bridge. Steel at the time was a...

...What are the qualities of a great story? It has to be memorable or extraordinary. The story could not take place without unique characters, and would be dull without an interesting plot. Without these qualities, a story becomes boring and is lost in the realm of mediocrity. In CBS’s hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother, Ted Mosby embarks on the journey of storytelling. In the year 2030, Ted tells his two children of the epic tale of how he met their mother 25 years earlier. Seven seasons later, the story continues, and is as great as ever. Through funny, believable characters portrayed by excellent actors, gut busting humor, and an emotionally appealing storyline, this show has become a staple of primetime television. Over the course of seven seasons, viewers of the show have seen great changes to the characters, but they retain the initial qualities that made them beloved from the first season. Josh Radnor plays the main character, Ted Mosby. Ted is an architect living in an apartment in New York City with his roommate from college, Marshall Eriksen, played by Jason Segel, and his girlfriend Lily, played by Alyson Hannigan. Played by Neil Patrick Harris, Barney Stinson is the womanizing “wingman” who helps Ted with his endeavors as a bachelor. On one of Barney and Ted’s bar-scene adventures, Ted meets the girl of his dreams, Robin Scherbatsky, played by Cobie Smulders. Ted can be easily described as a helpless romantic. He tries his best to believe...

...elements and properties. The media Now I would like to focus on the attendance of gender stereotypes in the mass media, which nowadays has a great power and reaches large audiences. In order to create a medium which is universal, understandable and acceptable for numerous and diverse recipients, senders very often use stereotypes, which fill the social life and evoke certain associations. However, mass media not only gives people information and entertainment, but, also affects people’s lives by shaping their opinions, attitudes and beliefs. Men have been perceived as the head of the household and women were mainly housewives. Nowadays the differences between male and female roles are smaller, however mass media still perpetuates traditional gender stereotypes. Moreover, due to their great influence on people’s attitudes, they can depict certain social groups in negative and unrealistic manner. They can be a very useful tool for those remaining power. By manipulating the message, media can create a certain image of reality, which is consistent with the policy of the dominant group. As a result, the reflection of a real world is incomplete and distorted. Although people are aware of the unequal representation of certain social groups in mass media, it is hard to remain objective and insensitive to its influence. Religion interacts very closely with culture and since gender roles are defined by a culture, how religion interacts with culture can affect how religion treats gender roles...

... Today I would like to talk to you about homelessness. Every day the numbers grow. There are many reasons for people becoming homeless. Alcohol and drug addiction is one of the main reasons of homelessness. Phychosis and depression are the second highest reason, and serious mental disorders are the third highest reason. Researchers have over 29 studies that have included over 5684 homeless individuals. Every day we are coming up with new answers to why people are becoming homeless and we are constantly working on ways to keep everyone off of the streets. The homeless are a group of people that have poorer physical and mental health than the general population. There are over 1 million homeless worldwide. According to the Prevalence of Mental Health Disorders among the homeless: Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Analysis published December 02, 2008 DOI 10.1371/Journal.pmed.005225 the main causes of homelessness are the following: * Drug and alcohol misuse * Lack of social support * Family support * Family breakdown and disputes * Institutional backgrounds (prison) * Armed services * Mental disorders In today’s society the homeless are looked down upon. No One wants to ask questions but just assume. I think that everyone should be treated the same and not judged by how they look or the clothes that they wear. I think that each homeless person should be addressed differently...

...Coleman also met a client named John at Jimmy’s Poor-Man’s Bar. During this meeting Coleman spilled his drink and then decided to perform a trick where you light up the alcohol. With that being said, he took a drink, lit his lighter, and blew the liquid, which in turn created a fireball that went through the room. The fireball ended up hitting and killing Jimmy instantly and also caused major damage to the bar. Software, Inc fired Coleman immediately without interviewing him as per their policy. After Coleman was fired, he continued to act as an agent for the company and called John to express his apologies on behalf of himself and Software, Inc. He said he would take John out to dinner and Software, Inc. would pay the bill. During dinner, Coleman and John got into an argument and Coleman punched John in the eye, which caused John severe eye damage. As a result to Coleman’s actions, Jimmy’s mother (his only heir), John and Jimmy’s Poor-Man’s Bar sued Software, Inc. for the damages caused by Coleman. Coleman sued Software, Inc. for wrongful termination because he was not interviewed prior to being terminated. The jeweler that Coleman stole from also sued Software, Inc. for the value of the ring. Identifying the Legal Issues presented There are many issues and questions to answer within this case such as: • Should Coleman win his wrongful termination suit with Software Inc.? • Will Software Inc. be liable to the owners of Jimmy’s bar? • What about Jimmy’s mom?

...siblings, at the fairly young age of fourteen years, I found myself in the unusual position of being in charge of all my mother’s finances and household activities. Due to a separation of my family, I became an only child with my mom working double shifts three to four times weekly. During that period of my life my level of maturity had to be drastically elevated to allow my mom to maintain her sanity, for the bills to be paid and things kept in order at home. I took on this challenge and thus my desire to go into accounting and finance was developed. However, at this point in my life, could I have considered myself as a good leader? What exactly does it take to be called even a great leader? According to Draft(2006), “Leadership is the ability to influence people toward the attainment of organisational goals.” He also continues by stating that, “Leadership is dynamic and involves power to get things done.” The people element in the definition of leadership plays an extremely important role since a leader is the motivating factor that drives individuals to achieve the company’s goals. Without a capable team, the leader will be ineffective. That is the driving force behind Jim Collins “Level 5 Leadership”. Therefore according to Collin’s hierarchy, I was more or less a capable young man that then became a contributing team member in the household. There is never the need to go beyond those initial levels since my mom was the head or the real...

He then went to Jimmy’s Poor-Man’s Bar to meet with a client, John. Jimmy’s wasn’t a client of Coleman’s, but John didn’t like his customers to see him “doing business.” Coleman was talking with Jimmy about business when he spilled his drink all over the bar. That made him think about this cool trick where you put pure grain alcohol in your mouth, blow it out and light it. Coleman took a big drink, took out his lighter, and said, “What this!” He lit his lighter, blew the liquid and a fireball went through the room. The fireball hit Jimmy and killed him instantly. The bar also sustained a lot of damage. Software Inc. fired Coleman without even interviewing him to get his version of the events.
