February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

CMST 3107–Rhetoric of Contemporary Media Fall 2017 Instructor: Dr. Joni M. Butcher e-mail: [email protected] Office: 131 Coates Hall Office Hours: MWF 8:30-9:15; M & F: 11:30-12:15; or by appointment Required Text: Foss, Sonja F. Rhetorical Criticism. Fourth edition. Waveland, 2009. Focus: This course will focus on the medium of television–specifically, television situation comedies. More specifically, we will evaluate and analyze television sitcoms theme songs from the 1960s to the present (with a brief exploration of the 1950s). We will use various methods of rhetorical criticism to help us understand how theme songs deliver powerful, compacted rhetorical statements concerning such cultural aspects as family, race relations, the anti-war movement, women’s liberation, social and class distinction, and cultural identity. Quote: “There is no sense talking about what TV is unless we also look at what TV was, where it came from – and where, in another sense, we’re coming from.” (David Bianculli, Teleliteracy: Taking Television Seriously) Favorite Quotes from Students: “I learned more about history in this class than in my history class. It’s like my history class—only fun!” “This class gave me lots of topics of conversation that I could use when I talk to anyone over 40.” “I learned that rhetorical criticism is a lot like opening a box of tools. You need the right tool for the job. Sometimes you think you might need a screwdriver, but then you find out a hammer really works better.” “I thought this class was really all about TV, but then I realized I could use these methods of criticism to analyze just about anything.” “I came to realize how time really does change people. -

AMA Journal of Ethics® July 2021, Volume 23, Number 7: E507-511 FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF Invisibility of Anti-Asian Racism Audiey C. Kao, MD, PhD Parallels Imagine being confined and feeling trapped in your own house or apartment for months on end, afraid to leave the relative safety of your home because contact with other people could possibly bring you harm. Being isolated at home without an end in sight is no way to live. Fear, anxiety, depression, and even anger become your quarantine companions. During this past year, most of us can wholly grasp and empathize with this state of pandemic being. Now consider living this way for a reason other than a pandemic: your hesitancy and trepidation about walking out the door is because some hate you enough to harm you … just because of how you look. What is worse than being a target yourself is conjuring up a worst-case scenario befalling your mother or elderly family member halfway across the country or college-age nephews and nieces living away from home for the first time. This inescapable torment is the current reality for many Asians, Asian Americans, and Asian- appearing people in this country. Mob Murder Resurgence of anti-Asian racism and xenophobia during the COVID-19 pandemic is not surprising. On October 24, 1871, one of the largest mob lynchings in US history—the “Chinese Massacre”—took place in Los Angeles. According to a 1999 Los Angeles Times account: One by one, more victims were hauled from their hiding places, kicked, beaten, stabbed, shot and tortured by their captors. -

Many more. On TV, she starred in the NBC show, Crossing Jordan. She was also on Parks and Rec. She played Jennifer Barkley, the political consultant. She played a rabbi on the TV show Transparent. She starred in her own HBO drama called Mrs. Fletcher. I guess what I’m saying is: she has range. And here’s an example. She has an amazing supporting role on Wandavision, the bonkers new show on Disney+. I’m not gonna spend a ton of time explaining the plot of Wandavision. It’s set in the Marvel Universe, [chuckling] sometimes requires some prior knowledge. It stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as Wanda Maximoff and Vision, respectively. The two of them are superheroes who have settled down in a New Jersey suburb where—wouldn’t you know it—not everything is what it seems. Kathryn Hahn plays their neighbor, Agnes, who’s also hiding some secrets. The show has really taken off lately thanks in part to a very fun meme where Kathryn Hahn winks. -
Progress-Ish
Paige Dahlke 3/5/15 Media 160 Progress-ish Primetime television has always been a place where white America could feel safe and comfortable. The wholesome families on TV served as an affirmation that the American dream was an achievable reality, but as Marlon Riggs would agree, this “reality” was actually a myth. Even though African Americans were eventually allowed to be included in the mythical family, the odds of them being portrayed realistically was little to none. Race issues were whitewashed from the realm of primetime TV, even during the Civil Rights Movement -- a realistic depiction of which could only be found on the news. Few had the guts to present audiences with so much as a semi realistic version of society, and those that did never found the funding to last longer than a season or two. Reality has proved unable to entertain the masses in the past, but does that still hold true today? Not completely, but after examining the contemporary African American family sitcom, Black-ish, it is evident that television is making its way in that direction. While its portrayal of the mythical American family is reminiscent of The Cosby Show, it also confronts race issues head-on. Created by Kenya Barris, Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson as Andre Johnson: a successful African American man who questions whether the wealth and success of him and his wife has caused their family to forget their race. The comedy fulfills the historically necessary qualifications for its ratings to do well; it represents the American dream and embraces the middle-class value that if you want to succeed and be happy, you have to work hard. -
