X-rated

sex has been a heavily debated topic, both on and off the screen. In the early 1970s, a kiss on screen or the mention of a sexual activity would be enough to convince parents to keep their children away. Not half a decade later, though, sexual acts were being displayed on camera for all to see, demonstrating a rapid progression in the acceptance of sexual acts over time in the film industry. Over time, a change has occurred in the regulation of content of American movies, signaling the collapse of governmental censorship. In the span of only five years, the government’s morality policy shifted so dramatically so as to allow even more mature content, having a powerful influence on the public (Brisbin, 16). Kirby Dick’s “This Film Not Yet Rated” highlights the unfair hierarchical value system of the American film censorship system, which reinforces traditional societal attitudes towards sexuality, and goes through unnamed sources to remove parental control over a child’s media consumption. In considering the progression of societal attitudes surrounding sexuality, the media continues to portray sexuality in a light far behind its times.…

In the article “Airport Screener Could See X-rated X-rays” the problem is the government making airport security change to full body scan imaging on monitors. The body scanners are a very controversial topic,l because it takes the privacy away from people by their bodies being exploited by security. For many people the new monitors are unjustifiable, but people have to choose whether they want safety or privacy. The main points of this “Airport Screener Could See X-rated X-rays” article is…

Generation X, or Gen X, is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers typically use starting birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s and ending birth years ranging from the late 1970s to 1980. Generation X is a relatively smaller demographic cohort sandwiched between two larger demographic cohorts, the baby boomers and the millennials. Generation Xers as children grew up in an era when divorce was…

Computed tomography (CT) scanning technology was discovered in 1972 and revolutionized the world of neuroimaging (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). The CT scan was the first technique to allow the imaging of brain tissue in living patients (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). During a CT scan, a patient lies on a flat surface, which incrementally moves through what is referred to as a gantry (Sadock, Sadock, & Ruiz, 2014). A gantry is a round shaped structure that contains a motorized x-ray source…

willing to participate in rating and review everything as long they see their voice count. (Clements,M., Reinders 2010) People actively tag the available content and enjoy giving their opinions by supplying a rating. Although most people use tagging to organize their own content collection, it has been shown that social tagging results in semantically descriptive observations that could be use for content retrieval by the entire network (Golder and Huberman 2006; Marlow et al. 2006). (Guoshuai,…

To demonstrate, “Malcolm X delivered "The Ballot or the Bullet" to a predominantly African-American meeting in… the Congress of Racial Equality …which was shifting from nonviolent protest to Malcolm X-like black nationalism. Helping provoke this shift were speeches like this one, which was received enthusiastically” (Miller). Many African Americans came to Malcolm’s speech because they really wanted to know what he meant by the “ballot” and “bullet”. By the end of his speech, Malcolm wanted that…

I, however, believe this to show Malcolm X’s sense of urgency toward the civil rights situation at hand. Countless times in this address he calls to his fellow African Americans to inform themselves to the “ballot” or political atmosphere of their community. In place of violence, Malcolm X believes “that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community”. He wants his fellow black citizens to better themselves and improve their communities using political…

When one is reminded of the civil rights movement, the first man who comes to mind is generally Martin Luther King, Jr. He is regarded as the primary figure that supported the rights of not only blacks, but all racial minorities during American segregation. Much less known is the more radical Malcolm X, whose stinging words generated significant controversy throughout his years of black activism. His militant singularity and hateful messages offered a stark contrast to the peaceful King as he…

are changing the idea of the workplace , they want it to be more fun and have more meaning. (source?) work can sometimes be monotonous and have little meaning, but younger generations are being proactive and taking it as a duty to become more involved in their work instead of just accepting the way things are. Beyak sees “youth” as not overcoming the issue the younger generation has of employment. (he states that as long as 20-30 year olds like to be called “youth” instead of fully acceping…

Malcolm X were two African American men whom struggled in becoming literate. Frederick Douglass from the “Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave”narrates how he struggled on learning how to read and write, being an slave and having such limited sources, Douglass tells the reader how his mistress, Mrs. Auld taught him the letters of the alphabet and she proceeded in teaching him how to spell some words after that he was on his own in learning the rest. In a similar…
