Perfect mate

Written February 10th, 2011

What is the perfect mate??? Is it someone who has the same features as your favorite celebrity crush, is it someone who folds your laundry and cleans up after yourself or who fits your idea of the opposite gender. I think finding your "Perfect Mate" is something that is a dream, nobody is perfect and I think if you look at this way you will in the end be let down. Is it the expectations of our behavior that also helps us figure out what we want in life. Another influence of the perfect mate could be the way that we are raised and the influences of television and the entire media conglomerate as a whole. While searching for ways to see which ways that television has influenced our population I looked to two seperate movies. The first movie I looked at was Disney and Pixar's Wall-E this movie deals with our perfect mate because it shows us that love can happen even on an Earth that can no longer be inhabited by humans, and that it is between two robots none the least! The second clip is none other than Titanic one of the most well known love stories of our time, this movie deals with love between two different social classes and although the ending is tragic it shows us that love can happen between anybody. These two examples show just how the media can influence society to continue its search for the perfect mate and true love!!!

Feminism

Written January 19, 2011

Feminist have gone through many different struggles that have been organized into different waves. The first wave deals with the suffrage movements and how women wanted the rights as a citizen of a community and to be seen as equal. The second wave deals with their equality and sexual representation, The next wave deals women empowering their sexuality Madonna was a key player in the development of this wave! The current trend in Feminism is through spirituality and peace. We learn a lot about feminism in other classes and it seems like most of these women have a bone too pick with everything that goes on in society. Although I think it is a great thing for women to have rights and to be able to speak their mind sometimes they can take it too far! This comic strip I found explains my thoughts!!
