DISCUSS THE REPRESENTATION OF MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MEDIA
DISCUSS THE REPRESENTATION OF MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MEDIA Men and women are both represented differently in the media these days. Ironically it was even represented differently in the title of this essay. Men came before women! I am writing an essay to explain how men and women are represented in the media. I will show you my understanding of how in the past women were marginalised in the media and how men were shown as powerful figures. I will use the following sources in my essay: Kenzo perfume for women advert (4.2a), Yves Saint Laurent perfume for men advert (4.2b), IBM global services (4.14a), Lanvin (4.14b). I will analyse these sources in my main body. In the past fifty years women have been marginalised and were represented as the weaker sex. The woman in the Kenzo advert is represented stereotypically as a weak human. For example this can be seen when the woman is bare footed, full of laughter, innocence and leaning on an object. The woman leaning on the object signifies that the woman cannot live without this perfume. This also could signify that she is weak or is nothing without the perfume. Being full of laughter and looking innocent signifies that this is stereotypically feminine in terms of gender. Another example is how the woman is represented standing sideways, wearing a white dress and is not standing straight. Her not standing straight signifies how weak
Exploring Power & Control in the Family
Exploring Power & Control in the Family . The phrase "unequal division of labour" refers to when household tasks including childcare are not shared equally between husband and wife. 2. Item A confirms that a traditional sexual division of labour still exists in the modern family firstly by stating that women tend to do the majority of housework in the family and secondly by saying that men are shown to do more physical work such as gardening than women. 3. The sexual division of labour still exists because women are continuing to view housework and childcare as essential to being a "good housewife and mother". As men have less flexible work schedules which may be more demanding women are relied on to do the majority of the housework. Item C also suggests that the sexual division of labour still exists due to the fact that women may deal with situations over which they have little control by defining them as satisfactory. 4. The mother-housewife role may limit women's employment opportunities by the responsibility of the "school run". If the women has to drop of her child(ren) at school in the morning and collect them at the end of the school day she may not be employed as she may be needed to work a full day eg. From 9am-5pm. 5. Young and Willmott claim that the roles in the family between the husband and wife are shared. They state that the domestic labour is shared, as
Ever wondered why basketball is one of the most popular games in America?
Basketball The Greatest Ever wondered why basketball is one of the most popular games in America? The fast paced action packed games are fantastic for anyone to watch. Want to know more about the GREATES SPORT ever created or the greatest teams and players to hit the courts then read ON! History Basketball is the love of many sports fans and even some people who don't like sports. This magnificent game was created by Dr James Naismith in Springfield Massachusetts in 1891. He was a Canadian PE teacher of Scottish ancestry. The first ever game was played with hoops made of fruit baskets pinned up about nine to ten foot high. Basketball is played in almost every country but there are not many countries where basketball is a popular sport, as in America. In America it is huge but unfortunately in Britain it in my opinion is a bit of a joke. Now some more on the American basketball the league in America is called the National Basketball Association (NBA) it is the biggest league in the entire world. With thirty teams conversely English basketball struggles to get ten teams. The NBA is where every basketball player dreams of playing. "I have decided to do a section on why the NBA is better than the BBL (British Basketball League) as I am disappointed at the fact that Britain does not support basketball. I mean it is not just supporting a team it is also in schools because

The History of the English Language
The History of the English Language. By Karen Hayes. Access English. The English Language is continually changing. English has evolved from the Old English (500-1100) through Middle English (1100-1500), Early Modern English (500-1700) to the English we use today. Language often changes to make it physically easier to speak. One of the changes that take place is Omission, sounds disappear from words. Shakespeare, for example, would have said "hadst" where we would now say "had". We often shorten words like "telephone" to "phone" and the shortened words become the norm. Another change is called Assimilation, where phonemes are affected by the phoneme next to it. "Sandwich" for example, is pronounced "samwich". The "d" is omitted and the "n" becomes "m" and this makes it easier to pronounce1. We often make changes to the language in order to make it more consistent. We change words and constructions which seem odd or different. Language often alters due to social influence. Attitudes change towards certain words and they drop out of favour. Slang words which are fashionable, enter the language. New inventions and new ideas bring the need for new words. Some language change happens then individual change their speech to sound more sophisticated to attract more social prestige. The language has been influenced by other languages. The English has many borrowings from
De Coubertin based much of the Olympic idea on the public school system in England during the 19th century
De Coubertin based much of the Olympic idea on the public school system in England during the 19th century In attempting to answer the question I will cover the following points. Defining the key terms, I will then give a brief historical overview of the issue of Olympics. Using examples from the Olympic games I will identify the reasons for Pierre de Coubertin's reasons and influence of the Olympics in global sport. To conclude I will review the current issue of an outline where I think it will go in the future. Baron Pierre de Coubertin the man who revitalised the Olympics. This maybe the case in history books but there was a lot involvement from earlier generations. These date back way into the ancient times and they had a much different purpose to what they do now, they where all held in honour of gods. The Pythain Games where at Delphi to celebrate the festival of Apollo. The Isthmian Games where at Corinth in honour of the god Poseidon. The Nemean Games and the most well none of games The Games of Olympia where held in honour of Zeus, the king of the gods. The games of Olympia are believed to be the oldest of the games because they where first reliably dated at 776 BC, but where believed to have begun around 1300BC. The events the featured in these games where as follows the stade - a foot race of that distance, the diaulos - a foot race of approximately 400 metres,
The jewish question 1933-39
Policy towards Jews in Germany 1933 - 39: Question 1 By what stages, and why, did the Nazi regime increase its persecution of the Jews in the years 1933-39? After the Nazi regime came into power the Nazi's moved to persecute Jews. This ideology of Anti - Semitism was to spread across Germany and this was implemented in four main stages. In order to asses why and how the persecution of Jews was increasing I will be looking at the four different factors that contributed to the persecution between 1933 -39. One of the main reasons for the increase in anti-Semitism was due to the Nazi policies that were introduced. Such policies included the law of that banned Jews from a jobs in the civil service on the 7th of April 1933 and further banned Jewish doctors and dentists. this is just one supporting evidence of the persecution that the Jews suffered due to Nazi policies. Hitler had also influenced the increase of anti Semitism as race was a dominant theme in his book Mein Kampf which influenced Nazi ideology. Traditionally Germany was also an anti-Semitic and therefore furthered the increase of the persecution of the Jews as the church of Germany was obviously anti Semitic and therefore increased the persecution of the Jews. Anti - Semitic measures were introduced across Germany but they were not of the extreme measures that were to be implemented later. All these measures
Population distribution is the pattern of where people live. World population distribution is uneven
Geography Work, Piece #1: Charles Leftwich Q1, a, Define the term "Population Distribution." Population distribution is the pattern of where people live. World population distribution is uneven. Places which are sparsely populated contain few people. Places which are densely populated contain many people. Sparsely populated places tend to be difficult places to live. These are usually places with hostile environments e.g. Antarctica. Places which are densely populated are habitable environments e.g. Europe. Q1, b, Define the term "Population Density." Population density is a measurement of the number of people living in an area, and it is an average number. Population density is calculated by dividing the number of people by area. Population density is usually shown as the number of people per square km. Q2, a, Describe the population distribution in Spain. Currently, the greatest population density is recorded in the provice or city of Madrid, roughly 605 inhabitants per square km, followed by the Basque speaking provinces, measuring 295 per square km, the Canary Islands, Catalunya, Balearic Islands and Valencian Community (all with between 200 and 100 inhabitants per square km.) The lowest density is found in Castilla-La Mancha, Aragon, Extremadura and Castilla-Leon, with less than 30 inhabitants per square km. As

Describe the land use patterns typical of a suburbanised village in the UK and outline the way in which the patterns are changing.
ESSAY QUESTIONS Describe the land use patterns typical of a suburbanised village in the UK and outline the way in which the patterns are changing. Suburbanisation is the increased movement of people, services and industries from the centres and inner urban areas outwards, towards and onto the edges of the built-up area taking over land that was previously rural. A suburbanised village has grown as a result of being populated by those who have moved out of urban areas. As this occurs in villages in the UK so the conversions of old barns and shops takes place. As a result the land use pattern has changed over the period of change. In Urchfont, Wiltshire, this has been extremely noticeable since the 1930s when the recession of the farming industry started. Prior to the suburbanisation of the village, the land use pattern would have been fairly simple for the village of Urchfont, and many other villages similar to it. In the 1950s there were 10 or 11 farms that employed dozen of farm workers that would have lived nearby. The village would have originally been focused around, either the church or a small parade of shops, in a clustered form. These would have been the only attractions in the area. All the shopping would have been done in the local shop, and fresh vegetables may have been purchased from the local farmers. This is a clear indicator that the village would
