    WARNING Before playing this game, read the Xbox One system, and accessory manuals for important safety and health information. www.xbox.com/support. Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents, watch for or ask children about these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures. The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen; playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. BACKSTORY In the years after World War II, while many struggled to rebuild their lives in a devastated economy, Los Angeles embraced an era of unprec - edented growth and prosperity, and Hollywood became a shining beacon of the American Dream to the rest of the world. Yet beneath the glitz and glamour lay a darker reality: a burgeoning drug trade, a movie industry relentlessly preying on naïve young girls, rampant corruption at every level of police and government, and thousands of demobilized troops trying to readjust to civilian life and leave the horrors of war behind them.

  • It's a Mad Mad Men's World
    Lunds universitet Viktor Svanström Språk- och Litteraturcentrum FIVK01 Filmvetenskap Handledare: Erik Hedling 2020-01-15 It’s a mad mad men’s world En analys av HBO-serien Mad Men utifrån ett genusperspektiv med fokus på maskulinitet Abstract: I uppsatsen genomförs en djupanalys av ett flertal avsnitt från den amerikanska tv-serien Mad Men utifrån huvudsakligen två teoretiska koncept gällande studiet av maskulinitet. Dessa inkluderar bland andra Joseph A. Vandello och Jennifer K. Bosson et als studier gällande en så kallad ”osäker maskulinitet” i den vetenskapliga artikeln Precarious Manhood. Teorin gällande hegemonisk maskulinitet kommer att användas som basis för min analys, där R.W. Connell och respektive verk som Masculinities och Hegemonic masculinity: Rethinking the Concept kommer att användas som mina primära källor gällande konceptet av hegemonisk maskulinitet och diskussionen därav. Detta i syfte för att komma underfund med hur maskulinitet porträtteras i Mad Men, dess möjliga konsekvenser och reflektera kring maskulinitet i förhållande till det västerländska samhället, mer precist USA och Sverige, och det nuvarande 2000-talet. Nyckelord: Mad Men, maskulinitet, manlighet, könsroller, psykisk ohälsa Abstract: This essay will delve into a deep analysis regarding multiple episodes of the American tv-series Mad Men primarily from the perspective of two theoretical concepts regarding the study of masculinity. These include, for example, studies regarding the concept of “precarious manhood” by Joseph A. Vandello and Jennifer K. Bosson et al in the scientific article Precarious Manhood. The concept regarding hegemonic masculinity will be used for the basis of my analysis as well, with R.W. Connell and respective works such as Masculinities and Hegemonic masculinity: Rethinking the Concept will serve as my primary sources regarding the concept of hegemonic masculinity and the discussion there of.

Yet beneath the glitz and glamour lay a darker reality: a burgeoning drug trade, a movie industry relentlessly preying on naïve young girls, rampant corruption at every level of police and government, and thousands of demobilized troops trying to readjust to civilian life and leave the horrors of war behind them. After years of fighting in the Pacific Theater of World War II, one such young man, Marine Lieutenant Cole Phelps, was awarded one of the Navy’s highest honors, the Silver Star, and was honorably discharged. Keen to continue serving his country on home soil, Cole signed up with the L.A.P.D., a police force suffering a public rela- tions crisis amid accusations of corruption and brutality. A young, decorated war hero could be just what the department needs to turn the tide of public opinion.
