...Western Movie Graphics vs. Today’s Graphics Ashford University Vicky Roach Starbuck Social Problems SOC203 Instructor Gina Rollings April 4, 2011 Western movies have been around since the beginning of cinematic history in the US. They are no longer the most common nor the most popular movies presented to audiences. However, they still hold a special spot for those who love adventure and larger than life heroes. Stick around and learn more about the history of western movies and the producers and actors that have created them. Before western films became popular with movie going fans, western books and shows blazed the trail, whetting the appetite of millions for adventure. Although life in the early west was harsh, novels began proliferating in the 1860's which presented a more ideal or glamorized version of the experience. Real-life characters such as William F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill") and James Butler Hickok ("Wild Bill" Hickok) as well as a number of fictional characters were extremely popular. While many early western movies told moral tales of good triumphing over evil and men fighting for a righteous cause some were also comedies and others merely action packed showcases for their smart horses and talented "cowboy" actors. Films like "Custer’s Last Fight" in 1912, "On the Night Stage" in 1914, "Hell's Hinges" in 1916, and "Tumbleweeds" in 1925 were well received. Certainly films about the west have focused on cowboys, gunslingers,...

...Assignment 1 “Big Black Good man:” Olaf’s Inadequacies. Olaf, an average man with an average life has an average job that he sees as respectable and he believes his life is good. However, when he saw Jim for the first time, his life turned upside-down. His own inner fears overcome him. His own insecurities gripped himself. With each passing day, the fears and hatred became more obvious in his thoughts. In “Big Black Good Man”, because the author uses jealousy, insecurity, fear and admiration, the underlying factors of male inadequacy comes to light. From the onset of the story, Olaf begins to verbalize about how well his life turned out; while he secretly wished that he had had a better life and for a better reality. Whether he referenced his wife, his successful crops or traveling the world, Olaf uses these triumphs as hyperbole of what is really a melancholy life; desiring to rather be with many women, his infertility or the void he felt in not achieving greatness. Olaf questioned that “Maybe I could of got rich if I’d stayed in America” (208). When asked how much money the big black man has to put away, and Jim responds, “Two thousand six hundred” (210), Olaf’s expression brings his jealousy full circle. The smallness in every aspect of Olaf’s life, compared to the perceived largeness of Jim’s, was too much for Olaf to handle. As evidenced from the initial confrontation with Jim, Olaf is overtaken by a sense of inadequacy, referring instantaneously to Jim as a “black...

...One of Men’s Health’s top experts, T.E. Holt, M.D., a physician in North Carolina, tells this story about one of his patients: A man came in, dragged by his daughter because, she explained, he had been steadily losing weight and was covered in big lumps. The lumps had been growing for 2 years, maybe more, she said. I had no doubt, from the moment I saw him, that this man was dying. He had lumps as big as my fist on his forehead and his back, and as I came closer and moved around him, more came into view. When I pressed deeply into his belly, I felt a solid rock where there should have been yielding space. It was metastatic sarcoma, a rare cancer of the connective tissue. Four months later, the man was dead. When it comes to their health, says Dr. Holt, guys are notorious for doing too little, too late. As men, we’re told to play through the pain, tough it out, shake it off, and suck it up. There are a dozen other variations of the same message, and they’re all code for: Ignore your symptoms. And why not? What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, right? Here’s the problem: Things kill us all the time. Even when we're young. In fact, guys between the ages of 20 and 40 are twice as likely to die as women, says Dr. Holt. Most of us, I'd hope, would call a doctor if we were struck by blinding head pain, suddenly couldn't feel one side of our body, or, frankly, noticed fist-size bumps emerging from our foreheads. But some symptoms aren't so obviously dire. We asked...

...An Essay on ”The Doctor and the Doctor’s Wife” By Ernest Hemingway Seemingly, masculinity is a big part of men’s identity. Masculinity is usually associated with courage, independence, and assertiveness, and if a man’s pride is discriminated or somehow threatened, he will often do whatever is necessary to regain his pride. Thus, this might result in unethical behaviour. This is dealt with in Ernest Hemingway’s short story “The Doctor and the Doctor’s wife” from 1925 where masculinity is an overall theme and where he uses contrast and his iceberg technique to get his message across. Good intro (but remember to put two writing devices in) As stated, Hemingway illustrates the importance of masculinity for men’s identity in this short story. Firstly, Hemingway employs the importance of pride in male-to-male relationships by focusing on the interaction between the Doctor and the American Indian Dick Boulton. Secondly, Hemingway shows that a man’s pride comes above all, since the Doctor is dishonest to his wife regarding why he had a conflict with Boulton. Lastly, the use of contrast, e.g. the Doctor’s dishonesty as mentioned earlier, between the sexes empathize how masculinity is important to men, and this is what the following essay will be examining through the character of Nick’s father, the Doctor. In the beginning of the short story, the Doctor has hired three American Indians to cut some logs that broke free from a steamer and drifted on the beach. The three American...

...boy is motivated by compassion his decision to stand up t a crowd of men creates an understanding by the end of the story. In the story, David is shown as a young boy instead of a man to represent innocence. When the family of three first arries, David calls out to his dad to do something, but simply, the reply was,”I can’t do that David...It isn’t any of our business” (Dahl 7). Although David understands he needs help, he doesn’t understand that the world is not perfect and and not everything can go his way, all the time. He is losing innocence, but he is still a child with a lot of world to learn. If the author would have used a man, the idea that not fully understanding the world affects how a person impacts society would not be as strong....

...was 13 years old and my world absolutely collapsed. He was the emotional rock that my family relied on and after he passed, a couple of things changed for me – my childhood ended, as I saw it, and I now was the man of the house. This feeling of responsibility was new to me as I was the eldest child but very much sheltered from the perspective how life actually was but I was rudely awakened to it. I now felt a responsibility for my mother and her emotional well-being as well as continuing being the big brother to my younger sister that I had already been. I overcame this by learning how to cope better with the stressors of forced manhood via talking with some of my older family members and friends. They offered me valuable advice on how to deal with everything from male-female relationships as well as the unwritten code of conduct as it pertains to men, and Black men in specific. I am incredibly grateful that I have the opportunity to have these folks in my life for that specific season. I’ve also come to realize that the code of conduct as espoused by society towards being a Black man is very interesting yet complex. We are often asked to be strong and powerful yet not be too aggressive or derelict in our responsibilities or actions. I think that every man needs to have role models that they can aspire to be like and to emulate. I am thankful that I serve that role for my young son who looks up to me and my hope is that I can continue to be a good model for him. ...

...come to accept the fact that women can do everything that man can do. It is now acceptable for women to be “manly” without losing their womanhood. The question is: if the image about women only being feminine has changed, how come men are still pressured to only be masculine? Are “macho” men the only “real” men? Does it take a strong jaw-line, defined and muscular abs, and a beer in one hand to be considered a “true” man? Today’s world has summed up men to be just that… In order to be considered real men, they can’t wear the color pink, drink diet soda, do housework, drink fruity-flavored alcoholic drinks, or be anything less than a sports-loving, scotch-drinking, gym-going, and woman-loving guy. In an ad about the new Dr. Pepper soda, “Dr. Pepper Ten”, the slogan that Dr. Pepper used was “IT’S NOT FOR WOMEN” in big, bold letters. This message implies that the drink is meant to be only for men. Underneath the slogan, the ad reads “A lady-free zone of rugged, macho, hair-on-your-chest awesomeness that’s definitely not for women.” In this ad, not only is Dr. Pepper discriminating women, but it is also raising the question that if a guy is not “rugged, macho”, and has “hair on his chest” then, could he not drink that soda? Would he fall in the same category as the women who can’t drink it, therefore not be considered a man? Dr. Pepper made it clear that this drink was for men even though the description of the “ideal man” that they would like to drink their new soda is very specific...

...Taking Sides: Were the Nineteenth-Century Big Businessmen “Robber Barons”? In the nineteenth-century, the United States experienced rapid industrial revolution and economic growth. Leading the way throughout the economic growth were big business owners. Scholars have disagreed on whether or not these big businessmen were robber barons. Howard Zinn believes that they were robber barons and that they encouraged monopolies and used government influence and power to further their success. John S. Gordon argues that businessmen such as Rockefeller and Carnegie affected the industry in a positive way that helped improve the lifestyle of average Americans. Howard Zinn supported his view that the nineteenth-century big businessmen were robber barons by explaining how some of the multimillionaires accumulated their fortune. Zinn immediately dispels the myth that these rich men started from poverty, and states that a study showed that 90% of these men were born into middle or upper class families.. Robber barons undercut their opponents forcing them to sell out to the bigger corporation allowing these men to keep their prices high. Zinn focuses a majority of his writing on how these big businessmen used the government to prevent rebellion against robber barons. Gordon explains that the consumer products Rockefeller and Carnegie developed improved the life of average Americans. He speaks a lot on the improved production of steel and the impact on the industry that resulted. Gordon...

...Woodley is a ballad. This ballad is about a young boy leaving home for the first time and is on his own. You will learn about a young boy who left his home and family to live his life as a man. As he begins his journey into adulthood he found it hard to find a job in the big city. During his journey all the doors that lead to trouble and a ruff life was open to him but all the doors that lead to the correct way of life for him seemed to be close but he continue to complete his journey to become a man that could be respected by his family. The part that sticks out to me is the first verses of the poem “Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”. These one verse reminds me about the decisions I made when I was out on my own becoming an adult, I had so many people trying to get me to do the wrong thing because it looked cool but I was able to hear what they was saying and disregard following the temptation and follow the road I needed to follow in order for me to do the right thing as a woman. Now we see the strong young man doing all he can to find a job but he gets no offers but the offers of the street life as the whores of the streets offer themselves to him. This is another trap to get him to make the wrong choice again but the young man would fall for the bait because he was so lonesome, this is a bait most men will always fall for because within your journey of adult hood you will fall into the arms of a woman just to fill the lonesome...

...the Museum This is a story about a man sitting in a museum looking at one specific painting: the Stubbs chestnut horse. Doing this, he talks with an older man of near sixty years old about a girl in the museum. This girl reminds the older man about the feeling of rejection in his teen years. The main character is telling the story from his own point of view, as he is the narrator of the story. He is a first person narrator, who does not comment on the characters and the action in an objective way. An example of this is when the girl jokes about the horse in the painting and walks away, just to go back, when she “stared at the horse, which she must have felt she had affronted by her laughter” (page 5 line 6). Of course, the narrator does not know why she comes back to the horse; this is just his guess of what she is thinking. This affects the readers, since we do not get to know the thoughts and feelings of the other characters. At the beginning of the story, the old man tells a younger man about Stubbs the painter and about the horses he painted. But the young man seems restless and he is not interested in listening to the old man. By his exit, he ends up insulting the older man, who does not understand why the young man is not willing to learn anything about Stubbs. Stubbs and the painting of horses seems to mean a great deal to the older man, so he gets insulted, not only by being left, but also because of the fact that the younger man rather wants to go to the French eighteenth...

...there is one man who stands out. During the trial he was observing and taking down notes in his mind about the case. Others were also doing the same thing, but did not take in account how to analyze the situation like the old man did. This vote/tally by the whole group is basically a system. They all use this system to see where they all stand on the verdict. The old man decides to state his individuality because these factors: his beliefs, values and morals. This man has a belief that you cannot just send a young man off to possibly die without having talked about it first. He also made this decision based on the context on the situation. He knew some of the people in the room would be too scared to voice their own opinion. Others people’s belief though in the room are not in the right place. Some are more worried about a baseball game or money. Others are basing some things off their background such as the one of the other older gentlemen and his issues with his children. Their background experiences all reflect their actions and attitudes during the whole movie. This was also due to the perception of the situation they were in. Their attitudes and values were also a big influence on them during the movie. The old man that first voted not guilty was definitely a leader. He also had very high self-esteem because he was not afraid to voice his opinion. Many people went through intrapersonal communication during the movie, because of the examples and flaws the old man was sending...
