She has instilled the legacy of our family’s strength and tenacity in me. Thank you. For my sister, Antoinette R. Thomas who has always believed in me, supported me, encouraged me, and loved me unconditionally. For my brother, Shaughn M. Farr who has also provided support, structure, and security in protecting our family especially our mom which allowed me to focus on school. For my daughter, Bernadette E.

You can do it.” I watched it over and over again and it helped tremendously. For my nephew, Kendon A. Smith (TB) who has been the catalyst for this research and one of the biggest contributors. His ideas and support are invaluable. For my son, Charles F. Edwards who is my tech guy as I am technology challenged. He once recovered a research document that I could not locate and had spent a long time trying to find which essentially saved me. He also arranged my workspace to be more efficient. For my husband, Christopher L. Stuckey who has expressed his love and support for the duration of the program. He was also present for my Dissertation Defense supporting me all the way. For my Uncle Willie who was my civil rights partner, my aunt Rochelle, and cousin Barbara through whom, I have found yet even more love and support. For Dr. Brenda Crawley who was my Professor at Loyola University and who marched in the Civil Rights Movement. She told me that I should consider returning to school to earn my doctorate because she believed I had a lot to contribute to academia. For my friends at the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and my dream team who were an essential element that helped me to achieve all that I have. And For my Cohort #12 family’s conversations and camaraderie. For my particpants, who shared some of the most profound, intimate, and honest experiences that provided a very valuable contribution to the literature.

Researchers have discussed concepts such as attitudes to authority, suggesting that some individuals are naturally more resistant to authority (Rigby, 1985). However, in the United States, racial disparities are great, particularly when the “authority” is a police officer in an urban community and the individual is African American. In African American communities in the U.S., interactions with authority figures begin in childhood. African Americans have a significantly greater negative attitude toward institutional authority as it relates to the police. In Study 2, African American participants share stories of perceived racial oppression as it pertains to the economic, educational, and social aspects of our society. The themes that arise focused on ones related to a sense of hopelessness in the African American community around police violence and mass incarceration. Keywords: police mistrust, abuse of police authority, racism and police brutality 6 Relationships between Ethnicity, Attitudes toward Institutional Authority, and Hope in the African American Community In our current political climate, acts of blatant racism and violent hate crimes are becoming commonplace. There has been an increase in hate crimes reported to the FBI in 2017. The number of hate crimes in the United States in 2017 topped a previous high, with law enforcement reporting 7,175 incidents – an uptick of 17% over the fire year high reached in 2016 (Barrouquere, 2018). Being exposed to violent images of African American men, women, and children being verbally and physically assaulted is simply a part of the American experience. Unfortunately, it always has been. White supremacy has been embedded in the United States of America from its founding as a matter of law (Battalora, 2013). There were laws that were written specially to oppress African Americans. For instance, the California Crimes and Punishments Act of 1850 provided that no black or mulatto person, or Indian shall be permitted to give evidence in favor of or against any white person” (Rose, 2017). More commonly known laws of oppression were the Black Codes which were created after the Civil War in 1865. During an interview with Democracy Now, Ava DuVernay stated that in the 2014 documentary by entitled 13th she initiated the conversation about the history of racism, oppression, and subjugation of black people in this country as it relates to the criminal justice system in this country (DuVernay, 2016). According to documentary in 2016, there were two million people incarcerated and of that number 40% were African American men. African American men have a 1 in 3 chance of being incarcerated in their lifetime. (DuVernay, 2016). At the core of the 7 problems with the disproportionate amount of African American men being incarcerated, is white supremacy. For many African Americans, this information is a contributing factor in the attitudes towards authority. History of White Supremacy and its relation of social trauma The legal history of white supremacy begins with the colonies of Virginia and Maryland

  • New on Video &
    New On Video & DVD Yes Man Jim Carrey returns to hilarious form with this romantic comedy in the same vein as the Carrey classic Liar Liar. After a few stints in more serious features like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and The Number 23, Carrey seems right at home playing Carl, a divorcé who starts out the film depressed and withdrawn, scared of taking a risk. Pressured by his best friend, Peter (Bradley Cooper), to get his act together or be stuck with a lonely life, Carl attends a New Age self-help seminar intended to change "no men" like Carl into "yes men" willing to meet life's challenges with gusto. Carl is reluctant at first, but finds the seminar to be ultimately life-changing when he's coerced into giving the "say yes" attitude a try. As the first opportunity to say yes presents itself, Carl hesitantly utters the three-letter word, setting the stage for a domino effect of good rewards, and giving Carrey a platform to show off his comic chops. But over time Carl realizes that saying yes to everything indiscriminately can reap results as complicated and messy as his life had become when saying "no" was his norm. The always-quirky Zooey Deschanel adds her signature charm as Carl's love interest, Allison. An unlikely match at first glance, the pair actually develop great chemistry as the story progresses, the actors play- ing off each other's different styles of humor. Rhys Darby also shines as Carl's loveable but clueless boss, and That 70s Show's Danny Masterson appears as another one of Carl's friends.

Tabuina pidetään asioita, jotka ovat kiellettyjä tai halutaan salata, koska ne aiheuttavat ennakkoluuloja ja leimaavat ihmistä. Esimerkkei- nä käytetyt sarjat ovat Dallas ja Dynasty 1980-luvulta, Twin Peaks ja ER 1990-luvulta sekä Desperate Housewives ja Nip/Tuck 2000-luvulta. Tavoitteena on sarjojen käsikirjoituksen pohjalta tutkia millä tavalla erilaisia tabuja sarjoissa on käsitelty ja kuinka näihin tabuihin suhtautuminen on ajan myötä muuttunut. Käsiteltäviä tabuja ovat naisten alkoholismi, rintasyöpä sekä siihen liittyvä rintojen poisto, homoseksuaalisuus, tummaihoisen naisen asema 1980-luvulla, suhteen sisäinen raiskaus, insesti, transsukupuolisuus, HIV ja AIDS sekä kauneusleikkaukset. Tutkimusmenetelmänä työssä käytettiin sisällönanalyysia. Työtä varten palattiin tarkastelemaan yllämainittujen televisiosarjojen jaksoja ja tehtiin niistä muistiinpanoja. Tämän lisäksi luettiin televisiosarjo- ja käsittelevää kirjallisuutta

  • The Daily Brief Podcast: 30 of TV's Most Diversity-Defining Moments
    The Daily Brief Podcast: 30 of TV's Most Diversity-Defining Moments 04.02.2018 As a precursor to Tuesday's Multicultural TV Summit in New York City, which focuses on creating content for specific audience segments defined by age, ethnicity or race, gender, nationality or sexual preference, Daily Brief contributor Marc Berman compiled a timeline of some of TV's most important moments of diversity. The list highlights each of the aforementioned defining factors - including two shows featuring TV's favorite redhead, Lucille Ball; four Norman Lear sitcoms; three current series and, of course, Ellen DeGeneres' landmark coming-out episode. The list pinpoints some of the pivotal moments that helped turn today's TV landscape into the melting pot that it is, although there's always work to be done. Along with compiling the extensive list below, Berman spoke to PromaxBDA Editorial Director Paige Albiniak about his findings on today's episode of The Daily Brief Podcast. July 3, 1950: The Hazel Scott Show (DuMont) The common perception is The Nat King Cole Show in 1956 was the first variety series hosted by an African American performer. But it was actually this 15-minute summer series six years earlier, hosted by Trinidad-born singer and pianist Hazel Scott that owns that distinction. June 28, 1951: Amos 'N' Andy (CBS) Based on the radio of the same name, where two white actors originated the two lead characters, an all-black ensemble cast populated the Harlem, New York-based sitcom version (led by Alvin Childress as Amos and Spencer Williams, Jr.
