...Using your own detailed examples explore representations of ethnicity in the media today. There are many representations of ethnicity is the media however they all seem to be very limited if not overlooked completely. Many of these tend to be as token gestures or stereotypical to fit with the dominant ideology. To explore this further I will be primarily looking at the representation of Gypsies in My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, a TV programme produced by Jenny Popplewell shown on Channel 4. I will also comment on other representations of gypsies in the media such as those in Snatch and The Traveller Times Online. In the media, gypsies are portrayed in a negative light. Every single media product stereotypes them as dirty, tramps and thieves. We see this everywhere, in magazines, films, TV programmes and Documentaries. A good example is the article titled ‘Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves?’ it varies in different words that are linked with negativity throughout the whole article. While including examples from Snatch, the article says ‘Messages of gypsies in Snatch are deeply negative, putting us, the audience in a superior position’. This clearly shows the negativity of them in the media. Only 300,000 gypsies and travellers live in Britain. Only small part of them are in TV programmes and other forms of media therefore the representation is disproportionate to their population. Not all Irish Travellers are dirty or thieves. My Big Fat Gypsy Weddings is clearly produced purely for entertainment...

...Community Project Paper Trista Baldwin MGT/522 October 27, 2014 Cara Koch Community Project Paper The Heart in the Park Labyrinth located in Tonkawa began in 2006 with a group of community members who expressed interest in local artist Audrey Schmitz idea to recognize and celebrate Oklahoma's Centennial. The city's motto "Wheatheart of Oklahoma" and the Native American translation of the towns name "Tonkawa" meaning "they all stay together" was the inspiration behind the design. The park contains pavers and art panels depicting local culture and history. In less than one years’ time fund in excess of $150,000.00 were raised through donations, grants, and in-kind services. The park is utilized for a variety of community activities including educational presentations to high school and college students, fundraising events, an annual Harvest Walk, Valentine's Day Walk and weddings ("Heart in the Park Labyrinth", n.d). Community projects such as this can be successful when elected officials come together with residents. Collaboration amongst various team members has proven to be an effective tool when utilized to accomplish common goals that may not have been achievable on their own (Swindell & Hilvert, 2014). When different partners come together it is important to ensure that all team players are on the same page. There are seven characteristics that can influence the success in achieving goals in a community project; assessing funds available, contract specifications...

...Three innovative ideas that would improve the area where I live are better jobs, more children after school activities, and parks. In my community there are not as many jobs that are available for many people. This has because many people to struggle with the cost of living. This is due to the low income that is being paid to employees. For example, there are several restaurants that are available in my area, which is the only jobs that will hire people with no experience. Their pay is not much but with the low income that is being paid and the high cost of living, it is not the best job to make ends meet. There are not many after school activities for children where I live today. If there was more after school activities, it will give provide more advantages of children learning, staying out of trouble, and experiencing more out of life. Parks are great to have in the community because this gives families more places that are fun for their children and provides places for many sports activities. Where I live we have 2 parks that are available and one of them is not fill with playgrounds for children and fields where many boys have the opportunity of playing baseball, basketball, and other sports that they love. The other park that we have is located in a neighborhood that is not a place for children. I would never allow or advise my children to attend this...

...Community Profile Presentation ETH/316 Introduction Factors such as the physical environment, social communication, diversity, population, technology, social inequality, and social efforts are what ultimately lead to change within communities. They can determine how stable communities are, potential growth, and accomplishments that communities have succeeded in. Each community has its own profile, and within each community all people have social roles in which they play. Roles are significant components within a community, and they contribute to stability by enabling its members to interact and build relationships on different levels throughout the community. Diversity within population amongst a community is what also helps a community to thrive and surface new ideas, which is beneficial to a community. People in a community that bring about change can be a friend, employee, student, or anyone; there is no one specific person who can build a community by his/her self; it is community efforts. This presentation will discuss the profile of a place called Sims City, and all about this little city that makes it worth living in its community. This is a diverse community of different ethnicities with different religious beliefs. There are 144 members within this community who vary from public administrators to homemakers, and they all interact and socialize amongst various locations within the Sims City community. All of these members help this community...

Comments on narration: • Normally chronological (though sometimes uses flashbacks) • A sequential presentation of the events that add up to a story. • A narrative differs from a mere listing of events. Narration usually contains characters, a setting, a conflict, and a resolution. Time and place and person are normally established. In this paragraph, the "story" components are: a protagonist (Hanson), a setting (the park), a goal (to camp), an obstacle (nature), a climax (his panic), and a resolution (leaving). • Specific details always help a story, but so does interpretive language. You don't just lay the words on the page; you point them in the direction of a story. • This...

...In the case of F.J. Busse vs. Department of General Services, Busse was contracted by the General State Authority to build a fountain in Point State Park. When the area was nearly excavated, Hurricane Agnes deposited 6 inches of dirt onto the site. Busse submitted a change order for $85,000, but the General State Authority only granted Busse an extension of time. The GSA said that any funds recovered from federal reimbursement would be paid to Busse, but no funds were ever recovered. The court ruled that Busse was responsible for the cost of the dirt removal from the job site under the terms of the contract. The court said that even though neither party was responsible for the loss, the party who agreed to take the loss must be responsible for it. In this case, the court decided that Busse agreed to take this loss. In the contract, the provisions are quite vague with Busse agreeing to take the loss from “any other hazard”. The court used this to say that damage from a hurricane could be included under this. The court also ruled that the damage to the job site did not make fulfilling the terms of the contract impossible, but just more expensive. In this case, it does not seem that the court deemed the cost of the cleanup to be impractical, or much more costly than anticipated. I do not agree with the findings of this court. While the contract did leave Busse liable for a multitude of possible damages, I do not believe than a severe act of God like a hurricane should be included...

...Discussion Question A- ( Answer In IRAC Format) A new religious group has formed in the city of Boulder that worships mountain peaks. The members of this group believe that the way to spiritual fulfillment is to live in public parks, worship the nearby mountains, and sell jewelry that the members make from rocks and trees found in the park. The city has forced the members to leave the parks at night due to an ordinance prohibiting overnight camping in the parks. The city has also ordered the members to stop advertising and selling their jewelry in the park to comply with a park rule prohibiting the placement of signs in the park by private individuals. The signs read, “Buy the most sacred jewelry around. It’s also beautiful and reasonable priced. Profits help further the worship of the mountains.” In protest, the members also made T shirts which say, “Replace the members of the city council! They are unholy and incompetent!” The city passed a resolution prohibiting persons from criticizing city officials in the city parks. The members of the group challenge the constitutionality of the city’s actions under equal protections, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. Discuss the arguments each side would raise under each of the challenged actions of the city. Issue Spotting Is the resolution passed by the city an infringement of the freedom of religion, equal protections, and freedom of speech?

...Week 3 You Decide 1. You are the judge in the case. Does Susie have a case against Ruthless? Is Ruthless the proximate cause of Susie’s injuries? I certainly do think that Susie has a case against Ruthless because of the simple fact that Susie told Ruthless that she wanted to wait for Orson or she could walk home since she only lived six blocks from the park, but Ruthless paid no attention to Susie, he did not acknowledge what she said and gave her no choice but ordered everyone to get into the truck. Officer Ruthless could have stayed with Susie for a few minutes to see if Orson would come and pick her up, if not, then Officer Ruthless could have easily driven Susie home to ensure that she arrived safely at her home. If Officer Ruthless had other duties that he had to tend to, he could have easily called Susie’s parents to come and pick her up or called his supervisor to tell him that he was running behind because he needed to take a minor home, I’m sure that his supervisor would have understood and all of Susie’s injuries could have been prevented. I believe that Ruthless was the proximate cause of Susie’s injuries because he was the one who ordered her to get into a vehicle that she was refusing to get into from the beginning. Susie has every right to file a complaint against Officer Ruthless, the Elsewhere Police Department because Officer Ruthless is their employee and also Jerry for being careless in driving the truck. Even though a police officer is not obligated...

...Smiles and cheers are shared as families get together to watch their relatives score their first goal in a sport they love. Urban recreation areas are places where people come together and support their favorite local sports teams. However, nobody sees the negative effects on the environment that these recreational centers caused when they were created. For insistence, Helen McCall Recreational Center along Highway 98 in Walton County is expanding their “twenty-nine-acre recreation area” by clear cutting and burning the woods to expand the park (Wheeler n. pag.). While many people enjoy the idea of more public recreational spaces, there are some who disagree with how the expansion is being conducted. According to Tomas Munita’s article on...

Francine’s error was an honest mistake related to not being familiar with the room numbers for specific units. Discuss what action Asasif should take? Insert your response to Qu. 1. ………………………… Francine’s error might have been an honest mistake due to the fact that she was newly hired, had just completed the required orientation, and she had just started performing her work duty with minimal supervision. However, the important precursor of this error should not be about honest mistakes, instead the adequacy of the training Francine received should be questioned, and whether or not it is appropriate to let allow a new employee work without supervision in areas of protected health information is likely to breach.

...the Six Flags picnic area so we had to wear the wristbands to get into the picnic. We left my grandparent’s house and continued driving. When we got to a bridge that is close to Six Flags my dad said, “Everyone look your windows and across the lake!” We all looked out our windows and saw a huge roller coaster across the lake. I couldn’t wait because we were almost at Six Flags. In about 10 minutes we arrived at the Six Flags parking lot. We parked and then waited at the tram station. When the tram arrived at the tram station we got on and it brought us to a staircase that was painted to look like a giant pile of M&Ms. We climbed the stairs and waited in a big line to get in the park. We gave them our tickets and went through a metal detector then we entered the park. As we walked around the park we got to the DC super heroes area. My dad looked up and said, “Mathieu, you should go on this roller coaster with me.” I looked up and saw the huge 208 foot drop of Bizarro. “OK”, I said because I had never been on a roller coaster but I would soon learn my lesson. My dad and I waited in line for about a half an hour. While we waited in line I was so nervous. When we got to the car of Bizarro we got in. My dad couldn’t ride with me because the buckle didn’t fit him because he was too fat. “Are you sure you want to go on alone?”, My dad asked me. “Yes.”, I said.
