Popular media is known for reproducing gender ideologies via lyrics and music video productions. 'P.I.M.P (Remix)' reproduces patriarchal gender ideologies both lyrically and visually. However, the production has incorporated a 'pimping is fun and prestigious' theme that trivializes crime, and does not elicit a fear of crime. This paper will primarily focus on Randol Contreras' article "Damn, Yo-Who's that Girl?" to elaborate on the male dominant gender ideology expressed in this prompt. The music

Many of the Americans in today's world believe that life is not life without debt. In order to buy big ticket items or have vacations requires you to get migraines the next day thinking about the debt you have just created. I am here to tell you that it is simply false way to think of money. I am here to tell you to go out and have fun, go buy a 60 inch flat screen, go to Europe. But I am telling you to do it responsibly and with debt free burden. To live free willed with your money. Do not follow
the focus is on making as much money as possible with a little emphasis on the family aspect of the dream, stupid capitalism. For me, the American dream would be to have a solid family and create generational wealth for my family lineage, not any get rich quick schemes that we see in movies today like Jay Gats in The Great Gatsby who is a bootlegger in the 1920s to get quick wealth and be flashy about it. He wanted to rise from his poor station in life from the early years of his life, but even after
theory stands for. The first being that the cause of crime deviates from the failure of our collective society’s ability to offer the same opportunity for everyone. Meaning that crime happens because our laws and policies have been created to enable the rich and powerful while keeping the regular citizens from achieving the same opportunities and financial gains.

“There, the poor are not oppressed, the rich are not privileged. . . . Their taxes are few because their government is just; and as there is nothing to render them wretched, there is nothing to engender riots and tumults.” “I'm asking for the vote of every single African-American citizen. You're living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. African-Americans, now 45 percent poverty in the inner cities. The education is a disaster. Jobs are essentially nonexistent.” “In the end,
States class is more problematic than other developed nations and because of this not everyone is given the chance to break free from a poor lifestyle. In the second reading title “Framing Class” by Diana Kendall the idea of class is described as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Diana focuses on the idea that the media shapes the way we view class. The media
In today’s society, the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. America, with the “American dream,” prides itself in its operation of a meritocracy. Meritocracy is the social structure that rewards merit. In the US, the system of meritocracy is designed to provide hope and equal opportunity for people to rise to success. However with the system of meritocracy in place, the United State’s income gap continues to rise. The widening chasm
more lenient the judicial system will be with you, in other words if you come from a wealthy family your chances of getting sentenced to prison are much slimmer than if you are from a poor family. I just recently started reading a book called “The Rich Get Richer and The Poor Get Prison” which inspired me to persuade you why I believe that the way we incarcerate people must change; we need to look beyond the background they come from, and start sentencing people based on their crimes.

Cooperation and Contrast between Plato’s Regimes and Current U.S. Government The U.S. government is a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central government. It is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress, the President, and the federal courts. The separation of powers, which neither any branch working alone can change the U.S. constitution, is a kind of harmony that is similar
