...Sociological Reflections on High School: a media analysis of Glee The following is a paper I wrote for a sociology class and I have been thinking alot about group dynamics and fitting in and the difference a close knit group of friends can make in one person's life...more on that topic to come. The minority to be analyzed is the subordinate group in the high school environment. More specifically: how can membership in a subordinate group perceived as “bottom of the rung”, enhance the cohesiveness of that socially subordinate group in the adolescent environment, and how does the subgroup attempt to overcome the negative perception imposed on them? The hypothesis being that members of a social group with specific goals, perceived as subordinate and influenced by the social superiority of their peers will bond as a result of common social maltreatment as well as common goals. The results of this study can provide an understanding of the realistic ability for high school aged children to develop healthy relationships despite their subordinate status within their social environment and whether this idea is accurately represented in the media. Literature Review In addressing the concrete definition and study of cohesion, Moody and White explain the ongoing issue of cohesion this way: “Although questions about social cohesion lie at the core of our discipline, definitions are often vague...

...Cuddy orders House to make a final decision on which two candidates he's going to hire permanently. She says that if he doesn't make a decision, she'll reduce his salary to pay the two too many of them, but he appeared to not care, so she tells him she'll also move his parking space far away to the E lot, and it works. House visits Cameron in the emergency room to try to find a new case to help him make his decision and finds an uncooperative punk rock musician with a multitude of health problems. Although most of the candidates (particularly Amber) argue that the patient's woes are due to his high-risk lifestyle and drug abuse, House orders them to look into his symptoms, while scoring each doctor on a points basis in order to decide whom to include on his team. A few months previously, Wilson had told one of his patients that the patient was going to die. However, he later finds a flaw in his diagnosis and that the patient is fine. When he tells the patient, instead of being happy, the patient complains that he was planning to sell his house and now that he's going to live, he'll have to cancel the sale and won't be able to afford to pay the real estate broker. Wilson tries to compensate the patient from his own checkbook but the man decides to sue Wilson for even more money because his potential death let him live in the present, which brought him happiness. Wilson correctly deduces that House is the one who counseled the patient to sue Wilson. House tells Cuddy that he wants...

...Business Leadership TV Show Assignment The television show that I have chosen to illustrate the concepts learnt in class is Sons of Anarchy. Sons of Anarchy is my favourite show because of all the thrill and excitement. It’s based around an outlaw motorcycle club that is left in the hands of Jax Teller after the loss of his father, John Teller and step-father, Clay Morrow who were both former presidents of the club. The club, SAMCRO which stands for Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Cub, Redwood Originals originated in 1967 by John Teller in the fictional town of Charming, California, who didn’t live to see the ups and downs of the club. The club was then handed to Clay Morrow, Jax’s step dad who was also killed. Other significant characters in the show include Gemma Morrow Jax’s mom, Tara Knowles Jax’s wife, Opie Winston Jax’s Bestfriend, Tig Trager, Bobby Munson, Chibs Telford (Vice President of Club) and Wayne Unser. The club runs its business through close community relationships, bribery and violent intimidation and they are big on keeping drugs and drug dealers out of Charming. The show is driven by Jax’s mission to seek revenge for the murder of his wife Tara. Jax learns how to manage responsibilities of the club as well as being a devoted and loving father and husband. Jax killing his step father Clay and becoming the president of the club are traits of a good leader. Jax knew exactly what was right for the club and what he had to do in order for the club to stay on top...

...The “They say, I say” essay If you have been keeping up with the show “30 Rock” as of late then you probably have very similar views as those who have adopted a rather negative opinion of the character Liz Lemon. However Liz lemon has been judged wrongly and should be seen in higher regard. Her character has evolved into what I can only commend for being phenomenally satisfactory, despite the growing dislike for the direction in which her character seems to be headed. I think it would be nice if the fans of the show could see the subtle life lessons that are being conveyed through the show. 30 rock is a comedy series about the workings of a variety show dubbed “The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan” told through the voice of its producer Liz lemon. “In defense of Liz Lemon” by Emily Nussbaum strives to shed light on an aspect of the show that not many individuals have realized. After a slew of negative response to the Character Liz Lemon the author aimed to clarify why Liz is not only better than when she first started out but also why her audience find her so repulsive now. Nussbaum explains how in the first season of the show, Liz Lemon was very relatable especially to women of the same age group. She was unlike other female characters at the time which was refreshing. This new take on a female lead attracted countless die-hard fans which could be credited for the shows long run. The author however points out the inconsistency in the belief that Liz lemon...

... The character Dr. Gregory House, played by Hugh Laurie, can be seen as the problem child in a dysfunctional family role. House has a rigid yet sarcastic personality that is consistent throughout the third season. Additionally, the characters personality is somewhat untrustworthy when it comes to personal life matters, and when a change seems to be made in his character there is usually and unknown benefit house is receiving from it. The problem or rebellious child characteristics can be seen in his showing up, unannounced, to his bosses home, snooping in Wilson’s supposed girlfriend’s locker, and breaking into Cuddy’s office to get painkillers. He shows no boundaries when it comes to his team, Wilson, or Cuddy. House’s relationship with Cuddy can be seen as a mother-child relationship. He is demanding towards her to get what he wants and rebellious towards her when she is trying to discipline him. At one point in the season House demands Cuddy to give him his bloody carpet back and refuses to do what she says until he gets it. Moreover House is mean to Cuddy in Episode 9 and tells her she “sucks at being a mom” because she did not listen to his opinion on a patient. This hurt Cuddy and made her cry. His relationship with Wilson seems like a father-son relationship. Although House meddles in Wilson’s personal life and lies to Wilson about his arrest, he does admit in the season that he doesn't want to push his friendship with Wilson too far. It seems like House almost clings...

...071A0123 17 March 2009 SUSTAIN AIRBORNE TRAINING FOR THE T-11 PERSONNEL PARACHUTE SYSTEM Prior to Pre-jump Training, place the jumpers into a formation that allows the jumpmaster to easily control them and make on the spot corrections. The extended rectangular formation and the horseshoe formation are the two preferred formations. Prior to placing the jumpers into formation, ensure the jumpmaster team inspects the ballistic helmets, ID tags and ID cards. The jumpmasters or the safeties can accomplish this inspection. Although Pre-jump can be given by anyone on the jumpmaster team, the primary jumpmaster can delegate authority but not responsibility. Holding, running, one riser slips, and other information can be inserted into Pre-jump as the Airborne Commander sees fit. Although Pre-jump training should be tailored to fit the mission, emergency landings will always be covered due to the many variables involved with emergency situations; i.e. if jumpers have to conduct an emergency bailout over unfamiliar terrain. Pre-jump training is performance-oriented training and the jumpmaster team must ensure that the jumpers are performing the actions as they are being covered. During Pre-jump training, use the “HIT IT” exercise as often as needed to keep the jumpers actively involved. Jumpmasters will refer to their unit ASOPs for additional guidance. When Jumping the T-11 parachute from rotary wing aircraft the time between exit and full deployment...

...Question 1. Do you think what the EDS pilot did to Marilyn was what he ought to have done? Can you justify your position? What principles might you use to do so? What does Jan Narveson think about cases like Marilyn’s? Why does he think as he does? How many changes, and to what extent, would be the very minimum that would have to be made in Godwin’s story “Cold Equations” before you would think that Marilyn ought to be spared by the EDS pilot? Stephanie Mann 4778759 Phil 1F90 Maya Snrdic In the short story The Cold Equations, it depicts life’s real challenges, and how we must face them when in a decision of where we are obligated to figure out for ourselves what is right and wrong. Although this is a science-fictional story, it shows us how real life decisions are made, in which this case, the decision is threatening to one’s life. The choices made in this story are done through morality, utilitarianism, and assumption, clearly shown throughout the obstacles that are thrown at the main character and subject. In this short story, Marilyn made a choice, and clearly the last choice she could have made as a young 18 year old, to sneak onto a ship that was clearly marked “unauthorized personnel, keep out!” Little did she know was that her decision to sneak onto this ship would not be to pay a small fine, but would be to pay the price of her life. The EDS pilot now has to face decisions that he would rather not, since he is the one who has to choose who dies or not. He...

...This is a proposed half-hour TV pilot. The premise for the series is clear and the stakes are personal. The series will follow the personal and professional lives of a music band and their lead drummer. It’s a catchy idea. The idea of a show about a band has a lot of appeal, not only for the music, but also for the characters. The pilot features a clear actionable goal. There’s a ticking clock to get the lyrics written. The characters also face a solid moral choice about signing a contract. The strength of the pilot is no doubt the character of Elvis Wheeler. He’s clearly a flawed man with obsessive tendencies, making him a very endearing character. The idea of him being paranoid about reaching the age of 27 is a smart story choice. Regardless...

...Regarding to the new report Results Our results As using the same method with the main paper, we got the four similar tables there. Firstly, we got monthly returns of 200 stocks in ASX from data stream, and used them to calculated standard deviations. Moreover, the table 1 was made out below (in order to maintain a neat, all the data we retain all four decimal places.) In the first table, when we made eight stocks as a portfolio, the rate of portfolio standard deviation to standard deviation of a single stock has been nearly 50%. We also found that the ratio will be constant at 0.2217 if we make more than 100 stocks as a diversified portfolio. These two main points are similar to the main article, but the difference is only the data. Elton and Gruber found that 10 stocks portfolio got the rate of near 50%, and the rate would be constant at 0.39 when they made a 200 stocks portfolio. The main reason we thought is that the different between the two markets’ size. In addition, we used the two functions as the original paper to get the result of figure 1. Certainly, the SML we made as the similar condition, we also used ten randomly selected stocks as a portfolio G (10), and the diversified portfolio of ten stocks as P (10). The line should be 200-stock line. We got the result the risk premium became to 6.4%, and the standard deviation of P (200) and G (10) were 2.96% and 14.61% respectively. We got a big difference between these two standard deviations, contrast with...

... The History of the Fighter Plane You are traveling at a speed of 4000 miles an hour; your heart is in your mouth, your face ashen white, you feel as if there is a 100 pound weight on you pressing you into your seat. You are a fighter pilot and this is your first flight. There are many other pilots around you. In the world there are many pilots that fight and put their life on the line for others. They are well trained and well educated. They are to be respected for what they do. The fighter plane and pilots have come a long way since they were first seen in the air of France. The changes are mainly because of the new technology. The first aviation fighter pilots were used in World War 1.They flew very slow but stable planes. It was the Idea of a Frenchman named Roland Garros to strap a machine gun to the nose of the plane. He soon realized that there was a problem, the stream of bullets were wrecking the blade. Roland Garros then had an idea he took steel armor plates and welded them to the lower portion of the blades to deflect any bullets that might hit the blade, this idea worked but it was crude. He took his idea into combat and was able to down four planes. Before Roland Garros idea the pilots normally would use rifles and pistols to bring down a plane (3). When he was fighting later he was trapped behind enemy lines and forced down. The Germans found out his secret and sent it to a nearby factory to Captain Anthony Fokker to duplicate...
