Benn Harradine Media Analysis

We are in a world where people obsess with taking pictures of themselves. People go to great lengths to look good and make sure that everything looks perfect. But what if, we couldn’t take a picture wherever or whenever. Go back in time where you couldn’t fix pictures or have money to take one. A picture can say many things about a person. It was simpler before, it was in black and white and someone else had to take the picture. Looking at the two black and white pictures of the man, a person can see a part of there life 's. Like in the two photographs of Robert E.Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, they were very different leaders and they stood for different things and it shows in their pictures.

In the short story “The Things They Carried,” Tim O’brien uses the literary element of symbolism to portray how people carry different items to represent certain things, and to represent the harsh realities of war and life. He also uses symbolism to show how people become attached to items, and how they take on deeper meanings in times of stress. The story takes place during the Vietnam war, and O’Brien talks about an army detail, and the different things that they carried. This story is a great example of the use of symbolism to represent many different things at once.

When was the last time you saw a female American football player in the media? In most cases, the response would be never, due to the lack of women who play American football. Masculinity and patriotism are associated with American football, especially today. Although Title IX prevents discrimination based on sex, it seems as if American football is an unwritten exception to that law. The media is one of the main reasons for the lack of female football players. American football demonstrates a hegemonic masculinity and the media tends to assert that idea. In a greater scale, the media associates sports with men due to its aggressive nature. Women who try to change that perception tend to receive negative media depiction or none. In fact, there

he past 40 years have witnessed an increase of Asian athletes in American sports. In addition to their low population, earlier Asians lived in an era when racial discrimination and oppression impeded their access into sports (Zhao & Park, 2013). Asians had been discriminated against since the arrival of Chinese immigrants as cheap labor for the railroad and mining industries during the mid-1800s. This discrimination became more obvious during World War II when thousands of mostly Japanese Americans were forced out of their properties, separated from family and friends, and placed in internment camps. There they were subject to horrific living conditions, extreme deprivation and brutality. Around the 1970s, many Southeast Asians (Vietnamese,

For many years, companies have utilized advertising as a useful tool to promote their brands, convey a message, or sell their products. In today’s world, advertisements can be seen almost everywhere from enormous billboards along highways to a diminutive ads on a phone. But not all advertisements are successful. To convey a message, advertisements must contain rhetorical devices such as pathos, logos, and ethos. A good example of how rhetorical devices are used to persuade an audience is the Edward Jones “Nine Days” commercial. This commercial uses rhetoric elements, such as a well-structured narrative, convincing imagery, and logical argumentation, in order to persuade the audience to believe that Edward Jones is the right company to handle their different types of

After WWII Otto Dix created a piece of three men sitting down with major wounds playing a game of Skat. This Painting shows a very controversial scene of horror, light, and comical. It has a light side but, also a dark side. Finding this painting to be disturbing but also seeing what 's really going on causes many emotions between the horror and comical side of the story.

Women have come a long way in the fight for equality – in the 1970s women fought for things like equal pay and equal opportunities in the workplace, yet this is still an issue today. This is even relevant to sport as sportsmen earn more than sportswomen for doing the same job. For years’ gender inequality has plagued professional sports, with people suggesting women’s sport is of a lower quality and women will never be as good as their male counterparts.

The name of this photo is called Beacon Bright by photographer Justin Knott. When looking at the picture, automatically a sense of calming features exuberates from it. Some qualities that spring to mind when first looking at the picture are patience, calmness, guidance, and peace. The overall meaning of this picture shows peacefulness, because it has many representations used by objects to effectively display a serene setting which could also explain a possible psychological meaning behind it. This picture’s serene setting evokes happiness, peacefulness, and calmness.

Throughout this semester, I have been discussing the underrepresentation of female athletes in the media. This underrepresentation and the manner in which female athletes are being portrayed should be brought up because it affects how the public sees female athletes. This is a problem because it affects how people view women in sports. There are several perspectives in which this problem can be discussed and they are based on stereotypes, appearances, and the type of sports showed in media. I decided to discuss this topic because compared to their male counterparts women are seen as inferior in the sports domain. A broader context of my argument would be to discuss the affect the media’s representation and portrayal of female athletes has on young females, males and young

Singer Delta Goodrem was diagnosed with Hodgkin 's lymphoma at the age of 18 and now regularly visits cancer patients in hospital and raises money for cancer research. This image captures the community spirit which the cancer council represents themselves through, using a well-known figure like Delta Goodrem humanises the subject and makes it a much more thoughtful gesture and appeals to what the cancer council’s main values and goals are.

Women’s competitions receive less recognition. The coverage of men’s sports on television,radio, or newspaper is much greater than women’s. In Australia, statistics were taken of the coverage of women, men, and mixed gendered sports to see which was covered more. Men’s sports were covered at over seventy percent in newspapers,radio and television. While women’s statistics showed less than eleven percent. Mixed gender sports are covered more than women’s. Since women are seen as the weaker sex they are not given the recognition they rightfully deserve. Many may think that women are of the weaker sex since this has been instilled in people’s minds for decades. However, both must receive equal opportunities in all aspects of life. The mere fact that there are numerous sources for this,shows that it is an issue that needs a new solution which can be started through simple

“Female discrimination in sports is a common occurrence all around the world, women are seen as less than males.” (Ladrea) Equality in sports is unequal. In the 1800 women got very little attention and did not get the opportunity to play in any sport in America and all around the world. Men could go and try out for different sports teams and workout but for women they were only allowed to stay home to cook and clean. There were some events women could participate in but it could not be competitive, it was focused on getting active and staying active. With the different sex comes different levels, like males skill level is a lot higher than womens skill level, and males get the bigger audience than females do and men are all over the television
