My father’s favorite shows consist of every Western imaginable: Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Bonanza, Maverick, Wagon Train, and Rawhide so when I began reading this chapter I thought that I had a basic knowledge of what the West was like but I soon realized I was very wrong. There were many things that were included in this chapter that I never realized played a part in western expansion including the development of railroads. Andrew J Russell, a 19th century Civil War photographer, nicknamed the transcontinental

West Linn a rich, drug filled community. Kids are rude, adults are snobby, and there’s a pinch of drama everywhere you go. I walk along the perfectly made sidewalks, with freshly cut grass and trimmed back bushes, the typical family walks by 2 kids, 2 parents, one dog, the casual “hey” or “good evening” is spoken to make sure that a long conversation doesn’t get started without being rude; every 16 year old that drives by is in their brand new Audi or Mercedes, paid for by their oh so gracious parents

Movies of Native Americans traveling in large groups circling wagons ready to attack innocent people played a pivotal role in promoting

Media is a powerful agent when it comes to entertaining children. It influences the youth in our society that they have to act gender appropriate, and act a way that the youth are socialized to learn. Media uses the gender socialization to their advantage just as how Disney production does. Movies like Cinderella, Snow White Disney movies target particularly the youth and their thinking as well as putting ideas into their head about what is to be proper man and proper women. Growing up, a lot of

justice system, deviance, and racial inequalities. This documentary focuses on the life and crimes of Lonnie David Franklin Jr, The Grim Sleeper.

We are presented with the question, “What is a ‘royal beating?’” in Munro’s “Royal Beatings.” From what I have observed a “royal beating” seems to be done by someone of a higher authority to flaunt power. One out of two examples is when three “influential and respectable men in town” beat Becky’s father over rumors and his reputation of being abusive. Even though what her father did was wrong, those three men got off the hook for doing an unjustified act by serving a one year sentence in jail when

Western expansion evolved as the Land Ordinance of 1785 and Northwest Ordinance of 1787 came into effect (Lecture, week four). The Land Ordinance was the surveying of land to establish boundaries such as townships.
