The music videos will provide the way towards the best evocative visual imagery. According to the myth used in each different video, assure how the political and ethnic message provides away to think about the culture in most adequate manner as it should be. The Bad girls by M.I.A. is actually show how to take the issues of living in the London and amalgamating it with the South African perspective. The next thing approached when it covers the group targeting through the words and actions over there (Noisey, 2012).
The dizzy and ugly words used in the lyrics can increase the sexual message given the song. Further, the bad romance is the amateur singing group who actually just portrayed their bad experience of romance in the past. The comparison

The American life is the video, which assure circumstances of living masses over there in detail. The intensity to be a self-conscious is comparing myth about the American life. The way assure through the lifestyle mostly showed by the American population. The famous personalities mostly changed their name (Madonna - American Life (Video), 2009). The famous personalities have to go with the far does not matter who is the companion. The losing some weight is also a way to get the recognition about the American life. There are all signs to be a star in the America (Mark Bellick, 2012). The American life comparison further goes the thinking towards the multi gender perspective the boy the girl and the mess like words for the different roles in society (Maxx Zendag, 2015).
2. The motifs used in the music video American life have impacts me a lot because it assure the way of American life. The American life is a dream and free is just one message of first episode. The next version is not delivery a same explicit message and the third one is a banned video explicitly (Madonna - American Life (Video), 2009). The politically speaking the song has the explicit meaning how it can assure lust of America to be the number one in the world. The new world order is so expressive almost each country flags passed in the first
While reading the story, “I Ain’t No Good Girl” by Sharon Flake, I felt like the characters did not really develop the plot as I would have anticipated. The story “I Aint No Good Girl” is primarily about a girl who is madly in love with a guy named Raheem that she is completely blind sighted about the fact that he is abusing, threatening, and gets cheated on. But what aggravates me the most is that even after all that she constantly takes him back.
Do you ever wonder why most girls are insecure? In “So I Ain’t No Good Girl” by Sharon Flake it perfectly explains why girls are insecure at a young age. This short story is about a teenage girl who gets abused by her boyfriend Raheem. Her story begins with her wanting to ride to school with Raheem. He tells her to “go to school without him cause he’s got things to do.” In reply she snaps at him and he slaps her. She reluctantly agrees to go to school without him. As the school bus is driving away, she sees Raheem kissing another girl. Flake shows how teenage girls are taught to be insecure by using realistic problems to show her character’s struggle.
“When we got the letter in the post, my mother was ecstatic.”(Cass 1). This the first line of the book that I read called The Selection by Kiera Cass, which is the perfect way to start this dramatic story of America Singer. America Singer lives in a world built with castes, in which she and her family are fives out of eight castes. She gets a letter to enter The Selection, a competition for Prince Maxon’s heart. America’s name gets pulled and the next thing she knows, she is in the palace with 34 other girls. She goes on an emotional journey trying to decide if she wants to stay or go back home. I can easily evaluate that America has a lot of different thoughts running through her head right now. I found myself asking many questions such as
In our modern world, sociology has a tremendous impact on our culture, mainly through the processes and decisions we make everyday. For movies and television shows especially, sociological references are incorporated throughout the storyline. A movie which includes many sociological examples is Mean Girls. Mean Girls is a movie based on the life of home-schooled teenage girl, Cady Heron, who moves to the United States from Africa and is placed in a public school for the first time. Cady finds herself in many uncomfortable scenarios and has to deal with the trials and tribulations pertaining to everyday high school issues. Her experiences involve interacting with high school cliques, such as ‘the plastics’, weird high school teachers, relationships,
Lars and the Real Girl was an independent film about a young man named Lars who lived a quiet stable life until he was struck with such severe mental illness that the whole community rallied to support him on his mission to recovery. Lars was a great example of a man who had suffered from early attachment loss and childhood trauma that manifested into psychological dysfunction.
The tone of the short story “America and I” changed dramatically over the course of the narrative. The author, Anzia Yezierska, started the story with a hopeful and anxious tone. She was so enthusiastic about arriving in America and finding her dream. Yezierska felt her “heart and soul pregnant with the unlived lives of generations clamouring for expression.” Her dream was to be free from the monotonous work for living that she experienced back in her homeland. As a first step, she started to work for an “Americanized” family. She was well welcomed by the family she was working for. They provided the shelter Yezierska need. She has her own bed and provided her with three meals a day, but after a month of working, she didn’t receive the wage she was so
After a close analysis of “America” by Tony Hoagland, the poem warns and points out the problems with our consumerism. Hoagland uses metaphors and imagery to describe the actions of American, while throwing in counteracting themes. And uses thoughts and dreams to bring in metaphors that complex the poem.
At first glance, Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” would seem to be nothing more than just another vapid pop song. With its run-of-the-mill lyrics and catchy beat, it would appear that “Bad Romance” is no different from every other song on the market. However, upon closer inspection, “Bad Romance” and its music video explore the complex themes of fame, wealth, power, and freedom.
Americans through the years of existence have adapted well to the radical changes throughout the world. Technology, independence and social equality are some of the diverse concepts the United States have adapted to and developed in order to become a more unified country. Our nation believes that it is exceptional when it comes to other countries worldwide. As can be shown through the popular reference to America as the ‘shining city on a hill’. The term “American exceptionalism” is derived from ideals held by many Americans throughout history. Different people have analyzed American exceptionalism through multiple literary devices. Works such as A Model of Christian Charity, What is an American and Acres of Diamonds illustrate the sentiment that America is incomparable to any other country through different approaches. On the contrary, Democracy in America and How the Other Half Lives are two documents that argue against this theory through harsh yet meaningful remarks.
In Robert Hayden “American Journal Hayden had a Alien go and observe America. The Alien explains that America is a country of multi-cultural difference and that Americans are very energetic. As he continue to examine he explain that America is a land of violence and ghetto and that it is like that because Americans allow it to be that way.
América’s view of the US changes drastically as the story progress. In the beginning of the story she is full of enthusiasm about coming to America with her husband Candido; due to the fact he promised they would have a better life. As the story progresses reality hits and she realizes that the American Dream isn’t easy to achieve. América realizes this by how she finds herself settling in a canyon with no clean water, not enough money and then having to work a lot after Candido is in the accident and then proceeding to steal from a garden just to have vegetables for her family.
During the three centuries, the Americans' governmental philosophy changed from communal living to more federalism. The religious faith shifted from internal to external, and devotion to God changed to a greedy search for material good. People's value was changed and it is still changing and redefining the American self.
When it came time to pick a stage of development, I chose the stage of middle childhood. The movie that best depicted this stage of development to me was the 1991 movie “My Girl”. In this movie, you see a 11-year-old girl named Vada Sultenfuss going through a lot of psychosocial and cognitive changes in her life. She has grown up without her mother due to instant death when being born and she blames herself for her mother’s passing. Her dad is very absent in the upbringing of Vada, as he focuses most of his time and energy into his work as a mortician. Vada is surrounded by death due to the fact that they live in the house where her father constructs his business which is why her view on death is demented. When her dad becomes involved
Recently, I was scrolling through Netflix and decided to watch the movie Bad Boys 2. This movie was about a drug king (Johnny Tapia) who is overflowing the streets of Miami with ecstasy. It is the job of two men(Marcus and Mike) who are on the tactical narcotics team and one female (Syd) on the DEA(Drug Enforcement agency) to pursue and arrest him .While on the job they go through various obstacles and amazing action scenes while chasing there bad guy. At the end of the movie the female tries to be the hero and gets caught and it is now the job of the two male officers to go in and save her.
"Cold, shiny, hard, PLASTIC," said by Janice referring to a group of girls in the movie Mean Girls. Mean Girls is about an innocent, home-schooled girl, Cady who moves from Africa to the United States. Cady thinks she knows all about survival of the fittest. But the law of the jungle takes on a whole new meaning when she enters public high school and encounters psychological warfare and unwritten social rules that teen girls deal with today. Cady goes from a great friend of two "outcasts", Janice and Damien to a superficial friend of the "plastics", a group of girls that talks about everyone behind their back and thinks everyone loves them. Adolescent egocentrism and relationships with peers are obviously present throughout the film. I also noticed self worth in relationships, parenting styles, and juvenile delinquency throughout Mean Girls.
