Viola Desmond not only lost her case but her businesses and her family, this case took an emotional toll on her causing them to get a divorce (White, Evelyn C.2015). Wada Robson stated that Jack Desmond (viola’s husband) initially told her to drop the case as it was not worth it and that’s the nature of New Glasgow community (White, Evelyn C.2015). Viola Desmond moved to New York alone, heart broken both from the city and her husband, most because she was a respectable person within her own community, unfortunately, she died on February 7, 1965, at the humble age of fifty (White, Evelyn C.2015). With her death, Wanda Robson decided that it was her duty to tell Viola’s story and get her pardon. Proudly in 2010, Viola Desmond was granted a posthumous

When conducting research for my project, I came across a website that contained a few primary sources regarding the Salem Witch Trials. One of these primary sources was the photo of a legal document explaining the death warrant and reasons for execution of a woman named Bridget Bishop. Bishop was claimed to be a witch in Salem during the year 1692, and the document explaining her significance involving witchcraft resides in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. My thesis for this primary source is that the judge and jury believed they were seeking justice by executing Bishop, a woman whose death was truthfully based on her differences as a person rather than actual crimes she committed.

Jasmine Beckford’s case is the oldest out of the three; in 1984 Jasmine died as a result of long-term abuse aged 4. In 1981 her and her younger sister suffered serious injuries and were paced with foster carers for six months. After this they were allowed back home with their mother on a trial basis as social services were meant to support them. During the last ten months of Jasmine’s life she was only seen once by social workers (Corby, 2006).
The Casey Anthony case was one that captured the heart of thousands and made it to the headline of national TV talk shows, newspapers, radio stations and social media networks for months. The root of the case was due to a clash between the parental responsibilities, the expectations that went with being a parent, and the life that Casey Anthony wanted to have. The case was in respect to the discovering the cause of Casey’s two-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony’s, death; however the emphasis was placed on Casey and her futile lies, which resulted in a public outcry. The purpose of this essay is to delve into the public atmosphere and inquire about why the media and social media collectively attacked the case by uncovering the content of the case, the charges that were laid, and later dismissed, the “performers” of the trial and the publics reaction. It will further discuss how it defies universal ideologies and how the media represents this. The discussion of the complexities of the case and its connotations will incorporate Stuart Hall’s Representation and the Media, Robert Hariman’s Performing the Laws, What is Ideology by Terry Eagleton, The Body of the Condemned by Michael Foucault, and a number of news articles, which will reveal disparate ideas of representation in the media, and the role of the performers of the law and their effect on the understanding of the case.

The first round of Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company v. White in the federal court reject the discrimination claims but did reward her in damages from the retaliation that violated Title VII in the amount of $43,000. Burlington appealed on the claim she did not suffer this retaliation and had no grounds to bring a suit . Their defense was that she had not be let go from the company, the position that they gave her after being pulled from the forklift was the same classification so she was not demoted, nor was she denied a promotion or wages. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals did not buy this defense and concurred that because she was suspended without pay, regardless of the fact that she was reinstated with full back pay, was
After Alan’s death, she was plagued by the death of her relatives. Stella moved away and did not have to deal with the agony Blanche faced each day. Blanche was the one who stuck out with her family at Belle Reve, where she had to watch as each of her remaining family members passed away. “I took the blows in my face and my body! All of those deaths are a shame!
One cant imagine how it must feel to lose the ones they love and hold dear, but to stay afterwards and mourn the loss of the many is unbearable. Blanche has had a streak of horrible luck. Her husband killing himself after she exposed her knowledge about his homosexuality, her advances on young men that led to her exile and finally her alcoholism that drew her life to pieces contemplated this sorrow that we could not help but feel for Blanche throughout the drama. Blanche’s desire to escape from this situation is fulfilled when she is taken away to the insane asylum. There she will have peace when in the real world she only faces pain.

#sayhername is a hashtag trending on twitter to raise awareness to resisting police brutality against black women. One recent example of a major use of this hashtag has to do with the alleged suicide of a woman named Sandra Bland. Bland was a 28 year old black women arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer during a traffic stop and was found dead in a jail cell three days later. Blands death caused suspicion when fans of her viral Facebook videos of her speaking out about the struggles of black people got a hold of her supposed "mugshot" which seemed to have shown an already dead body. This angered many people and caused Blands case to be investigated by the Texas rangers in coordination with the F.B.I Although people have gathered

During scene one, the audience is introduced to Blanche as Stella's sister, who is going to stay with her for a while. Blanch tries her best to act normal and hide her emotion from her sister, but breaks down at the end of scene one explaining to Stella how their old home, the Belle Reve, was "lost." It is inferred that the home had to be sold to cover the massive funeral expenses due to the many deaths of members of the Dubois family. As Blanche whines to her sister, "All of those deaths! The parade to the graveyard! Father, mother! Margaret, that dreadful way!" (21). The audience sees this poor aging woman, who has lost so many close to her, and now her home where she grew up. How could anyone look at her, and not feel the pain and suffering that she has to deal with by herself? Williams wants the audience to see what this woman has been through and why she is acting the way she is. Blanche's first love was also taken from her. It seems that everyone she loves is dead except for her sister. Death plays a crucial role in Blanche's depression and other mental irregularities. While these circumstances are probably enough for the audience to feel sympathy for Blanche, Williams takes it a step further when we see Blanche's...
