Covergirl is a cosmetics brand and it collaborated with Walt Disney’s Star Wars movie to launch a new line of makeup targeted for women who are fans of the Star Wars franchise. After reading Lisa Wade’s reflection on the comparison between the ad campaigns for Covergirls’ Star Wars edition makeup line, there are a few sociological observations I would personally like to include after seeing the advertisement.…
Several years ago while playing Parcheesi at “The Home for the Visually Offensive,” several semi-intellectual Clearwater businessmen had a sudden urge for the smell of rough sawn lumber and/or the taste of Buffalo style chicken wings. Knowing full well that they couldn’t agree on anything as a group, nor could they get a weekend pass from the “home” to go to Buffalo, they decided to embark upon a major undertaking. They would open a place in Clearwater where other people of their caliber could gather and quench their thirst for the finer things in life. Their venture, however, got off to a slow start. After announcing their plans, the “Hooters Six” (as they are now called) were promptly arrested for impersonating restaurateurs. There were no…
For centuries many girls were taught to believe that a certain body type was desirable over all others; Medical Daily, a popular website, wrote an article about the ideal woman's body throughout the 17th century up to modern day. Around the time of 17th century Europe, many famous artists such as Peter Paul Rubens would paint beautiful portraits of a nude woman. The women were depicted to be very plump and pale because those features were considered beautiful. During the 17th century, a big and pale woman showed wealth because they could afford food, and were not required to do manual labor. Moving into the 1890’s-1910’s the new world, or the United States, started to develop The Gibson Girls also known as “ The New Woman”. The idea became…
Female-written comedies have become very popular in the past 10 years due to females being more career oriented. This brings on more talk for females being more confident of the work of writing and directing. There are still not as many women that are popular. “You’re not going to solve the problem,but you can start the conversation.” These females are actually making the industry some money like in “Bridesmaids” that launched in 2011. In the end, The Oscars are earning more and more nods each day that goes by for female artists.…
The Boys and Girls club has been around since the early 1860s, and has a long history of inspiring young children to realize their ability to become productive and strong-willed people.…
Movies are a special tool that can keep one company when they are in a moody situation. It is a contrivance that is being used almost all over the world by different types of people for a particular purpose. There are diverse film genres like comedy, action, family, musical, and romance that are being produced each year in the twenty-first century but however, the twentieth century has contributed various types of classic films such as King Kong, Annie Hall, which can never be forgotten. One of most memorable, teenage romantic films of all time would have to go to Rebel without a Cause because it tells how the present day teenage love life is like, “a romance set among teenagers seeking satisfaction outside the traditional systems, misunderstood by their parents, misunderstanding and mistrusting of their parents' values” (Tomlinson par2). A movie that includes a variety of elements deserves being…
Research done has proven that there is existence of female gang members and their population increasing as days goes by. Female gangs are said to be more dangerous than their male counterparts, this is because they act so innocent and strike when you least expect them to do.…
A pivotal decade in America’s past was undoubtably the 1920’s. Many inventions helped further the advancement of America and eased the work load off of many home owners. This allowed for more free time and enjoyment in life following World War I. One of the effects of this additional free time was the furtherance of the adolescence. The traditional etiquette and morals were forsaken for new fashion trends, new stereotypes, and the new generation of teenagers. These contemporary ideas allowed the younger generation to separate themselves from the conservative and law abiding parents. They were finally allowed to express what they wanted to say and feel.…
When I was growing up we had little cliques in the neighborhood but nothing that we really considered a gang. There were no initiation rights or anything crazy that needed to be done in order to join except living in the same area. We also didn’t engage in violent activities, maybe some juvenile mischief but nothing criminal like selling crack or stealing cars. Part of this may be because I was a girl then and the activities we took part in were nothing like what the boys did. As a young teen some of my friends did get involved in some kinds of criminal activity but still it was nothing I considered to be a gang.…
The Guerilla Girls are an elite group of female artists that no one knows the identities to. Not only does no one know the members identities, but also no one knows how to find them. The scary part about it is that if they want to find you, they will. As I said earlier, each member is an artist, and the group formed around 1985 when the New York Museum of Modern Art opened. The museum included an astonishing number of paintings from 169 different artists, but less than 10 percent were women artists. The first action that the Guerilla Girls did was making posters educating the people of inequalities in the art industry. One of their first posters said “WHAT DO THESE ARTIST HAVE IN COMMON,” and then went on to say that they were all male. The Guerilla Girls continued to display posters all over town emphasizing the inequality women face in art. The main targets that the Guerilla Girls attacked were critics, museums, and galleries. All the posters they made included great graphical design and all had a deep meaning. Once the Guerilla Girls started to get noticed they moved into on-site appearances as well as posters. The group would dress in gorilla masks, short skirts, and lacy stockings. Often the Guerilla Girls even waved around bananas. The Guerilla Girls had such a successful campaign that the media ate it up almost instantly. The group was being interviewed and even given the…

The topic I have chosen for my PIP is the impact of sexualisation on girls. This means I’m looking at how the media and society sexualises young girls and by association, women, and how this affects girls. This topic interested me because I’ve begun to notice how quickly girls are growing up and whether it’s detrimental to their GROWTH(?).…
Contemporary sexual ethics drastically oppose norms that have been established since the foundation of our country. If a scientist studying animal forms and behavior is asked what sex is for in the life of animals he will answer that it clearly exists for the purposes of reproduction. The built-in focus of sex as a natural activity is outside the individuals who do it. That is why sex is the most important thing in social life of animals. Human beings are definitely animals, but we are more complicated than other animals. Humans understand the meanings of their actions and give them meaning of depth; other animals are incapable of realizing that. The central significance of sex in human life is similar…
From the previous paragraphs, it is clear that hook-ups contain disadvantages for both genders, therefore, one of the questions that should be asked is why. Why do people engage in this subculture when the cost can sometimes outweigh the benefits? Aside from acting upon sexual desire, and the fact that it is a “no-strings attached” agreement, one of the various reasons for participating in hook-up culture is the notion of conformity. As hooking up becomes the norm, young adults feel the need to belong, and will take part in a hook-up, despite their reservations (Harden, 2013; Stinson, 2012). In fact, students, researchers have found that both males and females overestimate the other sex’s comfort levels when it comes to hookups (as cited in Stinson, 2012). This means that a female can believe that a male is more comfortable than she is with hooking up, when in fact the man feels…
