    Hip hop and rap as a musical genre is a very controversial subject for nearly everyone. Its influences are powerful, both positive and negative. There are many positive influences of hip hop, and a few examples are the breaking down of cultural barriers, the economic impact, and political awareness of pressing and urgent issues. Though there are many positive influences, there are many negative influences as well. Some of the more heated debates of the negative influences of hip hop are that it glorifies violence, and the fact that the music sexualizes women and degrades them as well. Attached to the negative outlook on hip hop, there are also many stereotypes assumed by society towards this type of culture that just aren’t true. Much of the negative viewpoints of hip hop and rap are misconceptions, such as; speculators believe hip hop has a destructive effect on the youth, when in fact, that is a small percentage of the musical genre, and in reality it has many positive and uplifting messages.…

    Family plays a huge role in the Chinese culture. As in a lot of cultures, the Chinese family is run by the father and husband of the household. He makes most of the family decisions and plays a huge role in the decisions his children make. Traditionally the father would arrange marriages for his children, guide them in the career to go and make sure that he raised strong kids who would help contribute to the family when older. Today the father figure still plays a dominant role but no longer arranges marriages for their children. He does however still influence them on their decisions but does not make them for his children. In most cases children will live with their parents until married. It is not uncommon however for a newly married couple to stay living with the husbands parents for a short time after marriage. Even though fathers in the family play a huge role, mothers play a greater role in the daily lives of their children. The Chinese preferred to have son’s who would be able to take care of them when they were older. Daughter in-laws were considered the low man on the totem pole and in the old days were actually considered slaves to their in-laws, doing whatever was needed to make their mother-in-law happy. Mothers of sons…

    One of the things that we must remember with poverty is that it is a structural problem, especially for women, of which 15.6 percent are living in poverty in the United States. This compared to 13 percent of men who are living in poverty. (U.S. Bureau of the Census, qtd in Aulette and Wittner) These numbers also increase for people of different races, including an increased gap between women and men within those races. This phenomenon is called the “feminization of poverty,” simply women are more likely to be living in poverty compared to men. (Aulette and Wittner) The feminization of poverty represents how poverty in our country is sexist. Women in the United States only earn 81 percent of what men make and the United States remains one of…

    Analyzing Family Change

    Analyzing family change in three generations of my family, I found glaring distinctions between all three, but there are also some similarities that have seeped through the generations and still remain. Most of my family is still situated in very rural parts of Mexico and all three generations of my family were born and raised in Mexico for some time including my generation. Culture and Poverty have strongly influenced the family change that has occurred through the three generations, but there are also similarities in my family that coincide with U.S trends that have also led to family change. From my grandparents’ generation to my parents’ generation and finally to my own generation there has been change in the following facets of the family:…

It can be said, that in the hip-hop genre women are portrayed as sex objects rather than important figures in society. Through demeaning images and lyrics, music videos in the hip-hop genre are a demonstration of how women are underrepresented and stereotyped in the media as nothing more than sex symbols.…

    Even back then women were reduced to mere servants and those that did not have a family or husband lived in poverty both black and white. Women suffrage and poverty did not only exist here in the United States, these social political and economic inequalities were felt around the world; Such as in Great Britain, Europe, Finland and Africa, other third world countries also had social issues pertaining to poverty. Those most likely to live in poverty in the U.S. are women and children. This is referred to as the feminization of poverty; increasingly the poor included unwed mothers, separated and divorced mothers, serving as the head of households (Basirico, et al, 2010). It is Known that women are much more likely to be poor than men, and that the impact of fiscal policy on the distribution of income is the main reason that women in the U.S. are more likely to be poor than women in other countries…

    Song Lyrics

    • 2438 Words
    • 70 Pages

    In these two rap songs, "Ain't Nothin' But A Word To Me" by Too Short (feat. Ice Cube) (1996) and "Bitch Ass Niggaz" by Dr. Dre (feat. Snoop Dogg, Hitman & Six-Two) (2001), explains how women are gendered as sexualized objects that are disposed after use, and racializes the importance of men’s hegemonic masculinity. In this paper I will compare and contrast how women are described as sexual, disposable trash, and men as cowards from the word “bitch.” The concept of "Bitch" is how a person (not necessarily a woman) is thoroughly disliked. In the first song by Too Short the first verse, “She won't complain about shit because, she's my hoe” which he refers to women will not complain. Women will do whatever Too Short tells her. Women belong to him because he owns them. The song makes people think that all women are sluts that sleep around. The rappers have perceived biological differences because women are viewed to be sexual disposable objects. Rappers believe and norms require women to cook, clean, and serve men no matter what mistakes men makes or abuse that women are going through.…
