...Ever After – Still the Same Old Cinderella Story In the movie, Ever After (1998), director and co-screenwriter Andy Tennant attempts to put a spin on the fairy tale we all knew growing up, Cinderella, by trying to empower the heroine and updating the film to appeal to a modern audience. Tennant explains, "I wanted to tell a very different version of Cinderella because I have two daughters, I did not want them growing up believing you have to marry a rich guy with a big house in order to live happily ever after" (Friedmeyer, p. 4). Did he accomplish? On the surface it would seem that Ever After is a modern feminist film, empowering women, but under the disguise, it still has the underlying traditional gender roles and stereotypes that Tennant tries to discourage and remove. In both Disney’s Cinderella and in Tennant’s Ever After, the male sex is ranked higher than females and has real power and social status. Kelley (2003) explains, “Males are seen as rescuers; females are more passive" (p. 651). The King and his son Prince Henry are the two highest ranking males in the film and they are shown to have ultimate power; the power over life and death. After Danielle hits Henry with apples, making him fall off the horse she thought he was stealing, she feared for her life because she assaulted royalty and the heir to the kingdom. In the same scene, in an attempt to quiet Danielle as to not cause a ruckus which may alert the royal guards, Prince Henry drops coins to the...

...Sochi, Gay Rights and the Catholic Church The Sochi Olympics like many Games that preceded it, is symbolic of human endurance and excellence, where thousands of athletes travel across the globe, to compete under the banner of their respective nations. While the Olympics are undoubtedly a showcase of individual pursuits of glory, the cultural significance of this event cannot and should never be underestimated. The Olympics could be described as a cataloged history of nations coming together under the five ‘interlocking’ rings, to collaborate and celebrate on a world stage. It is a chance to reflect on the differences and uniqueness of all those who attend, and to put aside the political, cultural and religious discontent that can often impose itself on the global community. Unfortunately for many of us, these games did not symbolize the progress we have made in this respect, but came to symbolize the morally reprehensible position of the Kremlin’s position on Homosexuality, and its authoritarian reaction to individual and groups who questioned the legitimacy of their laws. It also highlighted through the inaction of the global community, a sinister pervasiveness of homophobia throughout the world. During one of the many debates that often ensue during my history class; the topic of homosexual rights was put to the class. What transpired from this debate was a series of thought provoking questions that inspired me to write this particular article. Upon conducting my own research...

The New York Times, pp. 9A. Ethan Bronner exhibits the change of mind of David Blankenhorn, a national figure in the movement against same-sex marriage, about his opposition towards gay marriage and the reactions he received due to that switched thought. Bronner wrote, “I opposed gay marriage believing that children have the right, insofar as society makes it possible, to know and to be cared for by the two parents who brought them into this world,'' referring to Blankenhorn old thoughts where he added to his idea, “Whatever one's definition of marriage, legally recognizing gay and lesbian couples and their children is a victory for basic fairness.'' This meaning that he changed his ideology for the civil rights’ sake of equality. Bronner follows by expressing the response of Rev. Jim Garlow, senior pastor, who contradicts Blankenhorn new opinion along with Peter S. Sprigg. This article contributes demonstrates the power of an open mind. It shows how a person who had a straight definition of what he thought marriage was changed that interpretation with the help of many outside factors. Kottak, C. P. (2012).

...We are now living in the 21st century. Everything around us is changing. Our society is broader and our global network is smaller than ever. Technology has permitted us the opportunity to become global citizens. Our world has evolved from the days of Abraham and Sarah, of being a patriarchial, agrarian society. We are now a society of consumers and capitalism drives our economy. Everything about our society has changed. Even for some, the definition of marriage, a covenant before God between one man and one woman, is also being challenged by gay rights activists. As man has evolved in his practice of Christianity, no longer being bound by the Mosaic law, has God changed his purpose for marriage? We know him to be, according to Psalm 102:27, a spiritual being who will never change or end. As God never changes neither does his definition of marriage. I will prove that the sanctity of marriage should be upheld as the standard of Christianity between one man and one woman. Marriage is a covenant before God. It is consummated by sexual intercourse between the man and the woman. Andreas Köstenberger, author of God, Marriage, and Family, advises on five marital concepts to which all Godly relationships must commit. First, marriage is permanent. Divorce is not an option except in certain circumstances advised by Jesus in Matthew 19:9 Those seeking to marry should seek out wise counsel. Second, marriage is sacred before God and he honors it because he created...

This is referred to a person belonging to a particular age (e.g. 32 year olds) or range of ages (e.g. 18 - 30 year olds). Disability A person has a disability if s/he has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on that person's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Ability and disability diversity is the acceptance of all types of talents and disabilities within an organization. The acceptance of abilities is the ability of companies to embrace talents and education. Gender reassignment The process of transitioning from one gender to another. Marriage and civil partnership In England and Wales marriage is no longer restricted to a union between a man and a woman but now includes a marriage between same-sex couples. This will also be true in Scotland when the relevant legislation is brought into force. Same-sex couples can still have their relationships legally recognised as 'civil partnerships' if they do not choose to marry. Civil partners must be treated the same as married couples on a wide range of legal matters. Currently, existing civil partnerships can remain and there will be no obligation on existing civil partners to change their relationship into a...

...wedded husband? I now announce you, man and husband. Marriage: A word that has three meanings, a representation of true love, and a cause of a national constitutional debate. Merriam Webster dictionary reads that Marriage is the relationship that exists between a husband and wife, and similar relationship between of the same sex (“Marriage”, n.d.). So why the big discussion about to same-sex couples marrying one another. Homosexual rights movement in the U.S states travels back to the 1960s where the Stonewall riots. These riots were the start of a notorious political movement during the time a when homosexuality was illegal in all 50 states. As of Feb 9, 2015, gay marriage was legalized in 37 U.S states including the District of Columbia. Even though the political movement of same-sex marriage has surpassed the right to not only be open but also to marry in the United States. People are still manipulating the argument by using religion, the wellbeing of children, and Economy issues to sabotage the right of same-sex marriage. Ultimately, Same-sex marriage has slowly become a significant factor amongst today’s society. Throughout the United States, same-sex marriage has been a touchy issue within the countless religious groups. Opposing practices such as Catholicism, Mormonism, and Islam believe that "Marriage is a faithful, exclusive and lifelong union between one man and one woman". That "homosexuality is a crime and is forbidden throughout the eyes of God" (Pewrearchcenter...

...Same sex marriage as defined in our text book, Doing Ethics, refers to the marriage in a full legal sense of gay and lesbian couples. (Vaughn 2013, p 451) Marriage between a man and a woman was instituted by God with Adam and Eve. According to the scripture, Matthew 19: 4-5, New Testament, Jesus reaffirms this “He answered, Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female: and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one?” However, the media is supportive and liberal in their views of views if same-sex marriage. Even the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines marriage as the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband and wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law. But as the second definition, it states, the state of being united to a person of the same sex or a relationship like that of a traditional marriage. Same-sex marriage is one of the most controversial issues in the world. According to our text book, Doing Ethics, William Bennett warns of the dire consequences of legalizing same sex unions. He states that “the legal union of same-sex couples would shatter the conventional definition of marriage, change the rules which govern behavior, endorse practices which are completely antithetical to the tenets (a principle or belief, especially one of the main principles of a religion or philosophy) of all the world’s major...

...Fichter (This sample essay is based upon a student-written essay from last year. The student author is anonymous.) Homosexuality is everywhere. You can see it in books, on television, in the media; it is rapidly becoming a social norm. Given this trend of greater acceptance of gay marriage, the issue of whether to legalize same-sex marriage naturally arises. Massachusetts has led the way by legalizing gay marriage. Responding to this example, some states have taken steps towards accepting gay marriage while others are considering laws and constitutional amendments banning gay marriage within state borders. President George Bush has recently proposed a ban on gay marriage in the U.S. Constitution (Hulse). If Americans carefully examine the situation, however, they should all be able to understand the importance of making same-sex marriage legal in the United States. Those opposing same-sex marriage claim that by allowing this act, marriages everywhere will lose their honor and validity (Kurtz). Marriages between a man and a woman would lose their special importance, these opponents argue, if the definition of marriage is expanded to include same-sex couples as well. The test of time has proven this fear pointless. For several years, Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands have allowed gay marriage without any signs of damage to heterosexual couples. Social life in these countries continues unchanged, and no dramatic increases have appeared in the divorce rate (Dilanian)...

...that is important to me personally is the issue that would allow gay couples to be married. I have some very close friends who are gay and have been together for 4-5 years. I think they should not be denied the same rights as heterosexual couples who choose to be married. Some states have already put into law that homosexual couples may be married. Ohio is not one of those states. These couples should be allowed the same benefits as heterosexual married couples. Health insurance is currently denied these couples unless they work in a facility that recognizes same sex couples on their employee benefits. Another benefit homosexual couples are denied is the death benefit. My step-mom knows a couple who could not see each other as one of them was dying because the family would not allow it. Who does it hurt if they get married? That is my issue. Gay couples are not allowed to be married in the state of Ohio. There is a ban on same sex marriages and a law which defines marriage as that between one man and one woman. Some states have domestic partnership laws which state that a couple of the same sex or opposite sex may enjoy the same benefits of married couples, but still may not be married. Opponents of this law say it is not fair. They say it is like the old Jim Crow laws of racial inequality. My step-mom said many refer to this law as separate, but equal. When speaking of death benefits, I am not speaking of life insurance. You can put anyone you want down as beneficiary...

...A Pursuit To Equality One may ask, “What exactly is homosexuality?” It is simply a romantic and/or sexual attraction between members of the same sex or gender. Seeing two friends, of the same gender, walking down the street together used to be the only visible acceptability, but now to see a couple of the same gender holding hands is slowly becoming more accustomed and ordinary. Same-sex relationships are becoming more common and socially acceptable than a decade ago, and with the ever increasing desire to put discrimination behind us, it is clear that homosexual marriages are growing in acceptance as they grow in number. Touching on the subjects of television, film, and laws, it has come apparent just how acceptable and worldwide these relationships are becoming. The most influential source of media is television. Although people call television the idiot box, it could play a key role effortlessly. In the past, media has led society to believe that same-sex relationships are not acceptable. Achieved by displaying strictly heterosexual relationships on almost every television show, and leaving no room for possibility of homosexuality. Even though most television shows are American, they are still televised nationally including Canada, influencing minds in positive ways. The first reality show to cast a homosexual character on national television was MTV's 1992 "The Real World", which follows the lives of 7 strangers, with different backgrounds, personalities, and...

Now look at where we have come today. So it’s is just a matter of time for tolerance of this next. Here I will point out some of the basic issues and need of humans before I start in on the religious points as to why it is looked at as wrong in some people’s eyes but not in others. It has only been one way I have ever had a negative outlook on this topic is the atheistic view on laws and the beliefs as to how marriage is to be. I am making these statements as child from a homosexual parent who had a civil union of her own. The idea that the laws are old and out dated for our lives this day and age is so outlandish. These law and developments are the corner stone of our lives and cultural development. A few of the anti government groups point out that this is the right of someone to marry who they please. This is a law that you just cannot change just to suit your life or lifestyle. Marriage is a legal state conferring real, tangible benefits on those who participate in it: specifically, tax breaks as well as other advantages when it comes to inheritance, property ownership, and employment benefits. But family law, since it limits marriage to heterosexual couples over the age of...

...just that the people don’t want to recognise it as a part of the society. A lot of injustice is done to the people belonging to these categories but are done under cover. They are treated as if they don’t exist in the society, people believe that there can only be one type of relationship that is the heterosexual relationship. They believe that a man and a woman are required to form a couple and to produce children for the succession of the family. It is ironical in the sense that people if India consider it to be immoral, to be against their customs and beliefs but they forget that mention of homosexuality has been made in Hinduism (the largest religion followed by the Indians). This religion never made any objections on the topic of same sex relationship. People were free to choose the relationship they wanted to be in.
