In Female Chauvinist Pigs, Ariel Levy argues that objectification of women is not only exploited by men, but also by women. Today, most women are willing to exploit their own bodies and degrade their sexuality. There has been a huge change in the way women present themselves today in comparison to the 1970s. Levy stated that she would turn on the television and see strippers explaining how to lap dance a man to orgasm or channels with babies in tight, tiny uniforms bouncing up and down on trampolines

This creates bias. To illustrate my point, let us take a look at how these 2 news stations covered the very same story in completely different ways. Fox News, with their conservative bias, continuously eluded, during the coverage of the Chandra Levy case, that Gary Condit played some role in Chandra’s disappearance. In many numerous televised announcements and news articles released since the day that Chandra was declared missing, Fox News repeatedly kept referring to Condit for more information

In Female Chauvinist Pigs, Ariel Levy attempts to reconcile her personal views of feminism with its portrayal in popular culture. In order to challenge what she sees as a co-opted version of feminism, Levy raises the question of authenticity of “sex-positive feminism” (Levy, 63) on two levels: by “selling out” in terms of the body and in terms of our patriarchal culture. In order to restore a binary relationship between feminism and non-feminism, Levy recasts this sex positive feminism as a new form
Forms of Local Government The basis for county, city and special district governing and authority are laid out in the State Constitution and Government Code. Counties in California are responsible for providing limited services to unincorporated areas.

The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) gives counties the power to tax, create special districts and annex unincorporated
include two divisions: municipalities and counties. Counties are usually the largest and broadest geographic area and include many local governments however; a county’s power is very miniscule compared to city government. Generally in North Carolina, local governments do not have the power or authority do anything unless it is explicitly granted or enumerated in the state constitution. Although cities have a large range of delegated authority and counties have the least, the state government would

criticize how the company pressures women to expose themselves on camera. Levy reveals that the cameramen of Girls Gone Wild receive bonuses for capturing a hot girl flashing her breasts on camera as opposed to a normal girl (12-13). Levy intentionally includes this information in order to expose how the company treats women as objects instead of people; the women are literally rated on a scale from one to ten on the show (Levy 12). The fact that the cameramen receive bonuses based on the attractiveness

Government Is Important in Citizens’ Daily Lives Imagine a town without government. At first, such a place may seem like a fantastic place to live, there would be no laws, no fines, and no taxes. But look a little closer and you’ll notice mounds of reeking trash heaped along sidewalks and by doors, sewage oozing from pipes and seeping into the soil, and streets and roads in horrible states of disrepair. Buildings would burn to the ground for lack of fire departments, and schools, no longer supported

The municipal restructuring in Ontario from 1996 to 1999, whether voluntary or involuntary, was the most comprehensive process of municipal reforms since the Baldwin Act of 1849 (Frisken 30). After the election of Harris’ Conservative government in 1995, municipal reform took on a life of its own as it was followed with substantial activity between 1996 and 1999 (Sancton 135-56). This research paper looks to categorize, describe and evaluate the substantial activity that took place between the province
The Ontario Municipal Board was originally formed in 1906 and served as a regulatory tribunal involved in all of the planning decisions made by a municipality. The board is now an appeal board where developers or resident groups go to question the decisions made by local council. The board bases their decisions off of planning policy and law that the members interpret and apply to each individual case. There have been many negative comments made about the Ontario Municipal Board recently, such as
Finally, the municipal government relies on development costs to generate revenue. The basis for assessing development costs is driving the low density and it plays role in car-centered development. However, this requires investment and more expensive municipal infrastructure. Development costs are an important cost that can affect development locations, time schedules, and other decisions.
