Abstract Kim Kardashian is the reality television star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, an American alpha-socialite, entrepreneur, model, and actress. The Kardashian name first came to public attention due to the O.J. Simpson court case for murder in 1994. Kim Kardashian is the daughter of the late Robert Kardashian who was the friend and attorney of O.J. Simpson. Her party pal friendship with Paris Hilton also help boost recognition for her name. It wasn’t until 2007, the release of a celebrity sex tape with then-boyfriend singer Ray J (William Ray Norwood, Jr., the brother of actress and singer of Brandy) that sky-rocketed her fame. From day to night she became a Hilton-like celebrity. This controversy led to the reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians starring herself, mother and sisters Kourtney and Khloe and the extended family. This later led to various episodes and many appearances on other TV shows. Kim Kardashian along with her sisters own a chain of dress boutiques named DASH, along with a fashion line now carried by Sears. Kim alone now has her own line of shoes, perfume, apparel, DVD workout videos, and much more. Her love life has also been just as busy as her career. Married at one time and later divorced to Damon Thomas from 2000-2004, she was later romantically linked to a number of famous male celebrities such as Reggie Bush, Nick Lachey, Nick Cannon, Kanye West just to name a few. Last year in August 2011, she married NBA basketall player Kris Humphries but filed for divorce 72 days later due to irreconcilable differences. Her personal life is constantly open to the public, media, paparazzi, tabloids and has a fan database that she keeps up with daily on her website.

Background Kimberly Noel Kardashian was born October 21st, 1980 in Beverly Hills, California. She is the daughter of the now deceased Robert Kardashian and

    she is deterred from any future convictions and offending behaviours. Risk factors that Kimmie displays start from before the age of twelve. This is through her experience of witnessing the deaths of her three uncles and her father, the trauma of being gang-raped with her mother by soldiers, and the trauma of experiencing genital mutilation. There is a great quantity of research that has validated the relationship between women that have experienced childhood trauma and the association with neurological issues and the outcome of criminal activity into adulthood (Grella, Stein & Greenwell, 2005). Kimmie is considered an offender under this categorization of having neurological issues that can lead to offending and aggressive behaviours due to…

    Maurice Kenny and Mary TallMountain led very similar lives, and both become writers. However, the way they became who they are today, took place on two very different parts of that path to become a writer. In Maurice Kenny’s “Waiting at the Edge: Words Towards a Life” and Mary TallMountain’s “You Can Go Home Again,” both authors illustrate their paths and at times they were inspired. Maurice Kenny’s past shows that he has a wandering personality, while Mary TallMountain is more driven toward her goals. These wandering and driven personalities are all expressed in both authors’ childhoods, their relationship with their fathers, and in their writing itself.…

    Women in the Odessey

    • 958 Words
    • 3 Pages

    One role of women in ancient Greek culture as portrayed in The Odyssey is subservient to men. For example, Calypso keeps Odysseus on her island. However, Zeus tells her to let him go, as Hermes declares, “Now Zeus commands you to send him off with all good speed” (5: 156. 125). She responds by protesting that Zeus keeps all the mortal women he wants. However, Calypso listens to Zeus and releases Odysseus. Calypso clearly wants Odysseus to stay, yet she still lets him go, on the orders of Zeus. Even though she is correct in saying the gods are unfair, Calypso must obey Zeus because he is a god. Earlier in the story, we hear Telemachus arguing with the suitors. He tells them he will find news of Odysseus. He also proclaims, “[I will] give my mother to another husband” after he has found news of his father (2: 100. 248). The phrasing, “give my mother,” implies that it is Telemachus’s choice not Penelope’s choice who and when she will marry. Despite the fact Penelope is older; she has to listen to Telemachus, since he is the man of the house. Later in the story, Telemachus again asserts his authority in the hall by saying, “go back to your quarters. Tend to your own tasks, /the distaff and the loom, and keep the women/working hard as well” (21: 435. 390-392) Not only does it show Telemachus’s power; it also shows the job of a woman, which is to spin in their free time. In addition, while the men are feasting and enjoying themselves, the women have to keep working. The women have…
