Hugh Hefner is the founder of the legendary Playboy Enterprise. He started this magazine company at the young age of 27 years old during 1953. Magazines back in those days valued men who were aloof, outdoorsy, and a breadwinner. Hefner felt like he was trapped by conformity and decided to design a magazine that promoted a very different idea of what a man was through advice on clothing, food, alcohol, selections, art, music, and literature. He pushed the social and sexual values of that time through

Christie Scotty has a problem; she is concerned with people who judge by an occupation. She states that the ubiquitous statement "And what do you do?" is what triggers her concern.

case that I witnessed in the restaurant next to my house. Therefore, when I read the article “Can I Get You Some Manners with That?” written by Christie Scotty, I can understand why Scotty feels kind of angry when the way others treat her depend on her jobs. I agree with her in part, but I believe not all people treat other that way. In the article, Christie Scotty believes that people treat others based on occupations. “I long ago realized my profession is a gauge that people use to see how smart

SUMMARY While Gloria Steinem’s work involving her book ‘Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions,’ was a highly entertaining and informative read about her time as a activist writer in the Second-Wave Feminist Era, it is also a particularly difficult thing to summarize. As a collection of essays regarding her experiences as a feminist writer, it becomes difficult to separate and give clear direction to the information and topics that were covered throughout the text.

Plaboy Magazine and the Trivialization of Women It is difficult to set an explicitly pornographic magazine aside and hold it singly responsible for the degradation of women in society because we see pornographic images in every facet of contemporary media culture. But Playboy, as the "spearhead of the sexual revolution" (Stern and Stern 389), carries disproportionate responsibility for the cultural devaluing of women because of its powerful role as the world's leading pornography magazine and
Hollywood is a very powerful modern day institution, where a star's image can characterize, shape and circulate societal myths and ideologies. The construction of a star's image as a commodity of their societal myths and ideologies has the extraordinary power to exert messages so that even the smallest details become significant yet not overtly obvious. How a star's image is produced and then consumed can justify a society's relationship with that image and therefore aid in explaining the social
ending. The only way one could provide such an abundant selection is with the use of deception. Agatha Christie has deceived her readers on purpose to present more plentiful probabilities for a conclusion. “No job is trickier or more critical than inventing ostensibly fair misdirection—that is, preserving some connection with plausibility while making many characters suspect. She (Agatha Christie) has perfected it.” (Wagoner, 2) Her skill has made her the most popular mystery author and now has over

“By the Pricking of My Thumbs'; by Agatha Christie “By the Pricking of My Thumbs'; by Agatha Christie is a wonderful story with kidnappings, a series of murders, a painting with a story to tell, and two sly detectives.

would any mother try to suffocate her child? Is it not true that: "A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path?" --Agatha Christie. Mothers, in most cases, are seen as the essential "caregivers" in many societies/ cultures. A novel or textbook, screenplay or script, Hallmark card or holiday, could celebrate "motherhood," and what it entails, at one point in time. The bond

If I had had any second sight I would have provided myself with a precocious schoolboy as my first detective; then he could have grown old with me” (Agatha Christie 2011, 436) This is what Agatha Christie, the queen of crime fiction, stated in her autobiography about one of her most famous characters, the elderly female amateur detective Miss Jane Marple.
