Running head: SEXISM ACROSS MUSICAL GENRES 1 Sexism Across Musical Genres: A Comparison Sarah E. Neff Western Michigan University SEXISM ACROSS MUSICAL GENRES 2 Abstract Music is a part of daily life for most people, leading the messages within music to permeate people’s consciousness. This is concerning when the messages in music follow discriminatory themes such as sexism or racism. Sexism in music is becoming well documented, but some genres are scrutinized more heavily than others. Rap and hip-hop get much more attention in popular media for being sexist than do genres such as country and rock. My goal was to show whether or not genres such as country and rock are as sexist as rap and hip-hop. In this project, I analyze the top ten songs of 2013 from six genres looking for five themes of sexism. The six genres used are rap, hip-hop, country, rock, alternative, and dance.

  • My Friend Has Cancer. What Can I Do to Help?
    My friend has cancer. What can I do to help? Lymphoma Foundation of America asked more than 100 lymphoma survivors to tell us what their friends and family members did for them that was helpful, comforting, and needed. Here are their candid answers on what to say and do, and what not to say or do when someone you know has cancer. Understand the roller coaster. Cancer patients are on a roller coaster. Their recovery has major ups and downs. Sometimes tests turn out great. Other times not so good. Patients feel strong and hopeful when treatments are working; anxious and fearful when results are disappointing. One day things are fine, the next day your friend feels sick. The journey to recovery is not predictable day to day, and each person reacts differently. Remember to be flexible with your friend’s changing moods and medical situation. (Certain medications can cause mood swings). You can provide much needed support with your caring and compassion. Even a few tender words can go a long way. Stay calm. A newly diagnosed cancer patient can be confused, frightened, sad, and angry. By the time you are shocked to learn that your friend has cancer, they are likely already having tests and beginning a treatment plan with their doctors. Don’t bring panic back into their life. Be calm, be thoughtful, and simply listen. It is selfish to talk about yourself. Focus instead on your friend’s needs and experiences. This journey is all about them, not you. Try on their shoes. Put yourself in your friend’s shoes.

  • There Is One Place Horsemen Go for Comfort - Our Horses' Manes
    The purpose of manes. by Patricia Tocco There is one place horsemen go for comfort - our horses' manes. The mane is there to hold on to in times of peril - including if you feel you're about to loose your balance and hit the ground while mounted. "Grab mane" - the instructor will shout out to you. It's security. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. There is a great quote by Englishman William Camden ; "Betwixt the stirrups and the ground, mercy I asked for, mercy I found." Sometimes, mane, stirrups and saddles are no match for a bucking horse. If you bury your head in your horse's mane, you'll smell each horses' distinctive odor. It's not what you think - it's not offensive. It's the smell that would have you identify them if smell were your only sense. Breathe in and mark it so you can recall it. If you bury your head in your horse's mane on a sunny Carolina blue sky day, you are filled with a sense of joy at being alive and having such a noble creature as your friend. Yes, they are there day in and day out requiring feeding and care. Non-horse people label it as work. That daily rhythm is our tether to the balloon of life. Sometimes you're soaring, sometimes you're crashing. No matter what, those daily chores keep you grounded. If you bury your head in your horse's mane while laughing at something playful they have done, you share a special moment - a time of pure joy.

  • Hip Hop Club Songs
    Hip Hop Club Songs Did you Know? The credit of coining the term 'Hip-Hop' lies with Keith 'Cowboy' Wiggins, a member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Around 1978, he used to tease his friend who was in the US Army by singing hip/hop/hip/hop. He was mimicking the cadence rhythm of the soldiers. Initially known as Disco Rap, hip-hop music is a stylized download mp3 rocket pro free 2010 rhythmic music form which contains rapping and beat boxing as its elements. This music developed as a part of the 'hip-hop culture' in New York, particularly among the African-Americans. Today, hip hop music has become extremely popular among the masses. With the commercialization of this genre of music, a new era of talent paved its path to give music a new feel and rhythm by using words in the interim as a form of expression. Artists like Snoop Dog, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Black- Eyed Peas have popularized this particular genre even further. Certain artists, who were known for performing other genres also started experimenting with rap and hip-hop.

You’ve Been “Brainwashed” and Lied To… But Getting In Shape Fast Is the Best Revenge! 1 ATOZFITNESS NEWSLETTER WRITERS GREATEST HITS © 2004 Pop psychologists, health club "instructors" and weight loss "experts" have sold you on setting little goals for 12 week programs and big goals for up to a year or more. This is all well and good, because mid range and long term goals are important, but it’s also a sin because this has led most people into believing it’s not even possible to get breathtaking results in a 30 day period… Here are the facts: The FIRST 30 days on a properly designed training program, supported by physiologically and hormonally correct nutrition, can produce MORE astonishing gains than a 90 day or even a 12 month program which is improperly designed! In fact, over-training and under-nutrition for an extended period can chew up muscle like a school of starving piranhas.
