Many characters including Jax add to the number of sex scenes found in the television series. Some of these sex scenes include passion and love, while others remain “meaningless.” Another way sexuality is portrayed is through the masculine attitudes and behaviors of characters closely connected to the club. In particular, these men portray callous attitudes towards women, while treating some as objects. In one scene the Arian Brotherhood kidnapped and raped Gema, the mother of Jax Teller. The reason behind their actions were to send SAMCRO a message. The Sons of Anarchy were to stop selling guns to blacks or else the Arian Brotherhood would repeatedly rape

At a birds eye glance into the film Au Revoir Les Enfants, it is seen to be within the world war 2 ridden time period of 1944. Further more, the film follows Louis Malle's recounts of his childhood memories, while staying at a Roman Catholic boarding school. The memories explicated though the directors lens, are rather somber and lethargic. For instance, the scene shown between the main characters, Julien Quentin and Jean Bonnet in the eery and desolate woods of Fontainebleau show the harsh cold and foggy elements that cloud sunlight and liberation, and place a perpetual dreary and dark winter. Thus effecting the actions and moods of the children and teachers of the school. Specifically, the war and winter vastly
The setting in both Lord of the Flies and I Only Came to Use the Phone contributes to the dehumanization of the characters in each of the readings. The settings are both isolated, which is the cause of all the chaos that takes place because when you take a human being out of the comfort of society, they go back to their natural animalistic tendencies in order to survive. Survival of the fittest is present in these quotes. Also, the island archetype plays a huge role in both of the stories.

Social order is made and remade through people’s behaviours, interactions and choices and is neither static nor fixed. This essay will provide examples of the ways in which social order is made and remade and how this happens on both a formal and informal level, although when disorder occurs, it is clear to see the level of work that goes into the making and remaking of social order (Blakeley, 2014, p85).
With a dictionary definition (cited above), there is little end result between all definitions besides democracy. monarchy, oligarchy, aristocracy, tyranny all translate to few people or individual(s) ruling with power. Indeed, aristocracy and oligarchy are synonymous within this definition, as well as monarchy, aristocracy, and tyranny. The former being ruled by groups while the latter in definition are ruled by individuals. Not much difference.
African American gangs in Los Angeles originated mostly from the migration of African Americans from the South after World War II. In the 1920’s most of the gangs in Los Angeles were family oriented and it was not until the late 1940’s that the first gangs began. The gangs surfaced out the area known as the East Side, which is the area east of Main Street to Alameda. A lot of the gangs surfaced because of the racism perpetrated by the whites. There was clear segregation and racism against blacks, they were not allowed in certain areas of Los Angeles and could not buy property there. White gangs got together to stop African Americans from trying to integrate themselves into the Los Angeles society. In turn, African Americans formed their own gangs to retaliate against the white violence against blacks. Eventually, the white gangs’ attempt to segregate blacks began to fail, and they began to move out of the inner city into the fast growing suburbs. African Americans moved into the city and accounted for 71% of the population. What began as a conflict between whites and blacks now became an intraracial problem between African Americans themselves. Fights between the West Side of Los Angeles and the East Side were mostly socioeconomic based. The gangs from the Westside fought to prove their toughness and credibility, while Eastside gangs fought because they were viewed as economically inferior to the Westside. Black community leaders began to see a problem with the African American youth and began to educate and promote social welfare amongst the community. Alprentice “Bunchy” Carter, a member of the Slausons, recruited youth to fight against police brutality instead of each other. The conflicts between African American inner city gangs began to eradicate and they were evolving into a socially aware groups working together against racism and police brutality.

The behaviours of the Bra Boys have influenced the way in which they are perceived by the wider society in both a positive and negative fashion. Established in the 1990s, based in Maroubra, the Bra Boys are a gang centred on surf culture, who has gained notoriety through their behaviours, and numerous associations with crime and violence, in addition to some links with community activism. The surrounding culture and environment of Maroubra has played a great role in the formation, and thus values of this group. The Abberton brothers, Sunny, Jai, Koby, and Dakota, began this brotherhood to provide a sense of family and belonging for the children of the local Maroubra area. Nonetheless, the actions of this group have had them labelled as social deviants by the wider society, with the media perpetuating much of this negative image. Furthermore, this false representation of the Bra Boys was further reinforced through advancements in technologies, such as the internet. For example, on the night of December 22nd, 2002, approximately 200 members of the Bra Boys had an altercation involving the local police. The media had reported that gunshots were fired during this fight when in actuality there were none. Accordingly, this altercation saw this group labelled as a criminal gang, who did everything they could to rebel against
When I found out I qualified to be a candidate for the NJHS, I knew I had to take this chance. This group is made up of people who depict leadership, character, citizenship, academic success, and service and I would love to join.

If I were to be in the National Junior Honor Society, it would give me an opportunity to ameliorate my future and motivate me to do better.
