Use Of Satire In Summer Heights High

The national identity of Australia has also developed strangely when dealing with taboo, especially with the younger Australians. Many youths no longer find many profanities as rude or taboo as the older generations, in particular with words like “fuck”, “shit” and “bloody” which used to be packed with a certain punch. In fact, many of these words are actually used as interjections (“Shit! No way!”),

Profanity should be the last reason a great novel should be banned. After all, it is reality, it is how people talk, and in the case of Harris and Me, its definitely how young boys talk to each other. The use of the language is hardly profanity at all. For example, Harris says, “Well you can just blow it out your butt you old cow, you ain’t no grown-up to tell me what to do. How the hell am I supposed to know things if I don’t go ahead and ask them? (Gary Paulsen, Harris and Me .7)” The words feel elementary to me, he says butt instead of ass, and old cow instead of old heifer. Maybe it’s not the actual words that parents are losing their minds about, but more about

Purpose: The purpose of this memo is to give detailed instructions on how to restructure the Austrian television show Summer Heights High to be appropriate, relatable and relevant to American audiences on the ABC Network.

The Australian produced show Summer Heights High, is created and written by Chris Lilley, it was directed by Stuart McDonald. It was a mockumentary which takes place at Summer Heights Heigh, it was filmed over a school term. The show was centered around three characters Jonah, Ja’mie and a drama teacher called Mr.G. The show followed these three characters around displaying what their every day life is like. Jonah is a 13 year old boy from Tongah who has disciplinary problems and does not like to participate at school. Ja’mie is a private school girl that is on an exchange program. She is the typical snobby private school girl that thinks she is better then everyone else, she also thinks she can get away with anything. Mr G is

Specifically desensitizing intimate practices like intercourse and exploiting the image of women; minimizing them into nothing more than sex objects that can be taken advantage of. For example, "Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain't even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it" - Rick Ross U.O.E.N.O. This lyric fails to express any real emotion, it fails to elicit thought, it functions only to glorify rape culture and it is a grammatical tragedy. “New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits, chinese food makes me sick”-L.F.O Summer girls. There is no coherent well-thought-out expression of emotion in this line. It vaguely jumps from one subject to another leaving the listener confused as to what the lyricist's message

Many teenage books have profanity in the books to prove the point of topics that the writer wants to tell the audiences point of view. The Literature today is more mature then most of the the children and teenagers that is reading this type of mature literature. Having strong language in books makes the books more interesting and more intense with a lot more mature topic the for readers. In the numerous articles, “Darkness to visible”, “Sick-lit”, and “Potty Mouth”, arise the question: Should explicit content be available to young readers? Profanity in literature reveals real content that everyday young adults go through. However, profanity should be tolerated, but monitored to a certain extent.

The movie The Breakfast Club teems with vernacular that adds value its descriptive language. Much of the vernacular, like The Catcher in the Rye, is used according to the time period the pieces were released. A prime example of vernacular is when Bender imitated his father saying, “Stupid, worthless, no good, goddamn, freeloading son of a bitch. Retarded, big mouth, know-it-all, asshole, jerk” (Hughes, 1985). Other pieces of vernacular include babbling, hot beef injection, totaled, nads,

The author has made up his own words and phrases, such as “Atomic Trans-Somgobulating Yectofantriplutonizanziptomistic” (Pilkey 23). The author uses many slang words and phrases such as “Yo! Big Melvin!” (Pilkey 63). In the beginning of the book, it states that Harold, George, and Captain Underpants, who is also known as Mr. Krupps are involved in a bank robbery. This is not something parents want their children learning to imitate and that it is okay. Many parents correct the inappropriate actions of children. “George and Harold went out into the hallway [at school] and started switching the letters around on a bulletin board” (Pilkey 149). This behavior is unacceptable, and it would give children an idea to go around and intentionally vandalize. Vandalism is a serious offense, and it should not be seen as tolerable as

Our social world is becoming increasingly sexualised as pornographic references and imagery are progressively more intertwined with mainstream media, social media, advertising, and pop culture. According to Tyler (2011), this intertwinement of pornography and pop culture consists of five fragments; the beginning of the pornographic boom, the

The corruptness of music today seems to be linked to the crude language and aggression found particularly in hip-hop and rap music. Some rap artists use vulgar language in their lyrics that are easily adoptable by teens (Holden). Not only have certain lyrics influenced the way teens speak but also their actions. An article on Headliners.org stated that “lyrics in the music are too violent and are to blame for many problems.” The problems range anywhere from suicide and aggression towards women to underage drinking and drug use. Lyrics are not only to blame, but also what people see in artists’ music videos can affect what they do (Doaks). The urge to emulate these rap musicians has escalated quickly causing a spike in rebellious tendencies among teens.

Satire is a specific classification of writing that occasionally makes utilization of realistic and performing expressions with the aim of scorning society into self-change. With social criticism being its fundamental objective, it uses dark sarcasm as its primary device to get the point across. Satire impacts people to reconsider themselves so as to alter senseless thoughts and behaviors. Different techniques are utilized in delivering the satirical impact, those of which use wit as their primary weapon. These methodologies mix the acing of matching unimportant and authentic matters as one joke, demonstrating compliment yet meaning the contrary to show ambiguity, and asking rhetorical questions. Moreover, the creator may downplay an issue keeping in mind the end goal to move the group of audience towards the genuine significance of the theme, antagonistically; distortion is utilized to bring down the effect of an issue to its lesser quality. Aggregately, these procedures are practiced to draw out the human follies and vices in society. In Molière 's Tartuffe and Jonathan Swift 's article A Modest Proposal, both diagonally condemn and criticize human conduct and the discernment we have towards others. Through a comedian conveyance, these creators offer an understanding past the apparently self-evident, and expect to enhance this flawed custom of one sidedness as opposed to disposing of it.

For Summerhill, controversies are habitual to them. Usually in a normal school, children should follow all the rules and regulation of the school and if not then they get severe punishments. Punishments might be physical also. And children in normal schools have to give exams by reading all the bulky huge books and should pass the exam. On top if that , parents have lots of expectation from a child that he should study hard in school, get a good degree and make parents proud in the society . In my personal view, I think this way parents are giving a lot more pressure to child than what actually a child can bear. There are many cases where children mostly teenagers, commit suicide because they fail to meet their parents' expectations even after trying hard. It is not necessary that a person gets success in whatever he or she does. This is what children of Summerhill knows well.
