    Court Case: Darling Vs. Charleston Community Hospital

    There were two court cases that we were given to look at. The first court case was Darling vs. Charleston Community Hospital. According to McWay, this case was on a male football player that got injured during a game and was brought to the emergency room where they determined at the hospital that his left leg was broken and a doctor that did not have any experience with putting a cast on put the cast on wrong and then left it on for fourteen days (McWay, 2015, pg.78). I think the biggest mistake that the hospital made was allowing a doctor that did not have any experience in putting casts on put the cast on and the doctor put the cast on the leg wrong and when the cast was taken off there was dead tissue on the leg. This caused the doctor at…

    Anna Quindlen The Color Line Analysis

    "The verdict is in. The jury has spoken. The death of Diallo, a hard working African immigrant, was adjudged a terrible accident. Not murder, not manslaughter. Louima's assailant is in jail. Two of the officers who beat King went to prison. There have been commissions, investigations, demonstrations, public reaction, prater vigils, op-ed pieces, television segments, classroom dialogues. And so Americans ricochet from event to event, speaking of reasonable doubt and prosecutorial competence and ignoring the big picture, the real thing, the most important issue in this county that we try not to talk about. That is, race."(Anna Quindlen)…

    Animals fight for survival daily, and sometimes their lives depend on their ability to adapt with their surrounding environments. Natural Selection is the process in which individuals have certain traits that allow them to survive and produce more efficiently (Reece et al.456). The animals that inherit these important traits have a higher fitness; therefore, those without the traits have a lower fitness (Reece et al.456). One example of natural selection is the differences between American Alligator and Albino alligator. The American Alligator acquired dark, thick skin due to the swampy, wet marshlands they live in ("American Alligator." Aquatic Community. AC Tropical Fish and Aquarium. Web. 21 Feb 2013.). It has a higher fitness than the Albino Alligator because their pigment not only hides them from predators, but also gives them an upper hand when sneaking up on prey while hunting ("American Alligator." Aquatic Community. AC Tropical Fish and Aquarium. Web. 21 Feb. 2013.). On the other hand, the Albino Alligator has a much lower fitness and is very rare because it does not have the allele that produces the pigment that has dark skin. The white color stands out like a sore thumb in its dark environment ("White alligator is one of the rarest in the world." Telegraph Media Group. 16 Feb 2009: n. page. Web. 21 Feb. 2013.).…

    Miss Representation Analysis

    Society by default places people into categories. The most prominent example of this is the gender binary, where each person is labeled and judged based on where they fall within that binary. Male versus female, one side is already at a disadvantage. Described in the films The Codes of Gender: Identity and Performance in Pop Culture and Miss Representation, women face many obstacles in today’s society, such as objectification and scrutinization. Media illustrates and reinforces these issues by portraying women as subordinate sexual objects for a man’s pleasure. Codes of gender breaks down the methods in which photography portrays the subordinate female. In Miss Representation, we see the analysis of the hypersexualized objectified female.…

    Summary and Response to "A Story of an Hour"

    The desire of freedom definitely comes with an immense price. In “The Story of an Hour,” Kate Chopin describes her main character, Louise Mallard, as a freedom seeking housewife, trapped in an unwanted marriage with her husband Brently Mallard. She soon after gets granted the gift of freedom when she finds out her husband had been in a train accident, which ironically Kate Chopin’s father died of the same tragic death. With Kate Chopin’s unique writing style, she has been a major influence in literature for decades. According to Feminist Writers, “she opened her 19th-century female readers’ eyes to a familiar world [they] had never know.” Authors S. Selina Jamil and Daniel P. Deneau both analyzed the story and gave their opinions on how the emotions of Louise affected internally and externally. With two different viewpoints on the short story, both authors provide valid points when scrutinizing the direct variation when it came to Louise’s motives. When reading “The Story of an Hour,” one is drawn into the troubling tale of Louise Ballard and how she reacts to her trying times as a thought to be widow. The ending throws the reader for a loop and is completely unexpected, but that’s Kate Chopin’s writing style. The story is unpredictable, enjoyable, and controversial, and definitely leaves the reader satisfied.…

    She's Country Analysis

    In today’s entertainment industry, we have so many different genres of music. Two of the many different forms include country and rap music. In 2008, Jason Aldean’ s song “She’ s Country” was released, and the lyrics in the song describe how “typical” country women live their life. In comparison, J. Cole’ s song “Work Out,” released in 2011, shows how women are seen in the public eye. Both of these songs adhere to media mainstreaming the physical appearance of women through clothing. J. Cole and Jason Aldean emphasize in their lyrics, what they feel like women’ s gender roles should be. The two artists also objectify women, which may have consequences on the listeners. Although J. Cole and Jason Aldean are two different music artists, both…

    Hip Hop Wars Analysis

    In the essay ”Hip-Hop wars”, Tricia Rose focuses on the debate in hip-hop about sexism and discrimination. Sexism in hip-hop can be divided into two groups. People in the first group use hip-hop’s sexism as a way to strengthen the image that black people are strange and subordinate, and facilitate anti-feminist situations. People in the other group are liberals who like hip-hop, they concern about sexism because hip-hop heavily relies on it. The images that degradation of black women is strongly rooted in white conservatism and black religious. It encourages black women to counter the mainstream culture and find their own values in the society. The essay “R.E.S.P.E.C.T-But Not the Kind Aretha Franklin Had in Mind” implies that the mainstream…

    The Giver Color Analysis

    Lois Lowry, a Newbery Award winning author once said, “I’ve never been a writer of fairy tales. And if I’ve learned anything through that river of memories, it is that we can’t live in a walled world, in an ‘only us, only now’ world where we are all the same and feel safe. We would have to sacrifice too much.” In her novel The Giver there is a common message of sameness. It is in how people in the community dressed. It is how they looked. Their clothing and haircuts were always the same. Little girls wore ribbons and braids in their hair. It is also how they acted, and how they lived. If anyone said a wrong word, or did something wrong, they would be punished, sometimes to the point of a “release”. All the same, and never different. The elders…

    African American Female Rappers History.

    Despite the fact that many female rappers pretend to be unique at developing the new image of a free and independent black female, it turns to be that practically all of them, or at least the most popular of them, are ideologically dependent on the male dominance in proper and figurative sense of this word. It means that as a rule black female rappers tend to create an image which can be well accepted by the wide audience and which is created on the basis of the dominating ideology in American culture, notably in American rap music that is characterized by the male dominance and the role of a black female is so to say secondary or subordinated to a male. As a result, instead of a new image of a black female that could be independent and free of male dominance, rap music industry and the audience have got a negative image of a black…

    Music videos came to popularity in the 1980’s with such television stations as MTV, BET, and VH1. The aim of these music videos is to market and promote different artists through the use of visual appeals. Gangster rap, a subgenre Hip-Hop music, presents violence, homophobia, and sexism in its lyrical content. This type of music presents the youth with an ideal identity, one that is consumed with money, cars, drugs, and multiple women performing sexual favors. Gangster rap videos usually focus on the buttocks, hips, and breast of women, (specifically black women). These videos depict black women as: hypersexual, money-hungry, sex objects. The success of these music videos relies on the imaging of these women in these videos and their use of their sexual appeal to sell the song. Music videos portray woman in a positive and negative light and these portrayals of woman could essentially play a role in a young girl’s self-esteem.…

    Hip Hop and Black Women

    Today's society is heavily impacted by the music world. Music has a way with influencing its listeners, and many may argue that for some music types, this is a bad thing, especially for black women.
