how sex scenes in movies have impacted popular culture for the past century Sternheimer explores how sex scenes in movies have impacted popular culture for the past century. He gives the example of Rudolph Valentino obscene sexual actions such as “passionate kissing, occasional female nudity, and sometimes even orgies” (Sternheimer 142). This shows that as early as 1920s sex existed in media and Hollywood, early stars have always been involved in scandalous behavior. After Arbuckle reported homicide cases, religious leaders were concerned that the influence of popular culture would outrun the young people’s familial and societal obligation. The “code” sought to censor more than sex, such as barring interracial relationships to maintain morality in society. Yes, I believe Hollywood has sharply gone off-limits in terms of representing sexuality, where it shows engagement in careless sex is a definition of sexual freedom. The recent controversy surrounding sexting among the youth has been on the rise, with many children being accused of sending raunchy pictures on social media. The sexting has been controversial, with several suicide-related death been facilitated by this new…

Deaf Culture Report Sign language has existed for over 200 years since the early 1800s. The language has evolved through the integration of different signs accrued over time to form today’s ASL. Children born deaf have grown in a society that has forced them to believe that they live in a soundless world because they cannot hear. The children have no choice but to accept it as the norm and to obey their guardians who were listening and without prior knowledge of ASL (Vpro World Stories, 2017). Sound is common in their lives, and as much as their ears cannot perceive sound waves, they have learned to rely on the non-verbal cues: body language and facial expressions from people around them. People assume that because deaf people cannot hear, they move stealthily like cats. However, this claim is false because they are human and are expected to make sounds when in motion for others to respond (TEDx Talks, 2012b). It is actually the expectation that deaf people are clumsy and make so much noise when moving. They have, however, had…

The Effects of Technology on Oral and Written Culture             Folk material delivery, especially storytelling and other folk sculptures like drama, in the past few decades, has writhed proper perceptions and in-depth analysis. This is because they were grim to comprehend or convey contextually or even manifest the same information to printed text and still maintain their efficacy to the informer. Due to this, they suffered from a lack of sophisticated electronic devices like cameras and videotapes, which could be used to record the performances. Most of the traditional activities are only based on the existing environmental circumstances, which were beyond storage and retrieval. To maintain cultural beliefs and customs, it’s essential to ensure such information is passed from generation to another. Failure to create storage materials, traditional ideas are rendered meaningless. The development of electronic devices has created an enabling environment for highlighting the intricacies of contextually centered performances aggregated to the artistic roles in oral narratives. The urban legend is a genre of folklore comprising of the stories assumed as accurate, especially if it has happened to a…
