Gender and Sexuality as Portrayed in Popular Culture Stories have been told, and still, they are more to come through, plays were and are portrayed up to date, more so, articles have been written explaining how gender and sexuality are portrayed or rebelled in the popular culture. In popular culture, gender and sexuality are among the key sensitive things to be considered. Masculinity and feminity being the key points of consideration, gender roles well experiment in terms of masculinity and feminity. Although gender and sexuality are used interchangeably, they do not mean the same thing. For instance, Lindsey 1997 defines sex as the biological, hormonal, and chromosomal differences that determine if a person is a male or female. On the other hand, Eagly 1987, defined gender as the societies and individuals ascribe to male and female categories.   Beginning with education as a key aspect in terms of gender and sexuality, I do concur with what a lot of articles say. For instance, in most sociological countries, education was only made for males. No single lady was supposed to be…

Healthcare Practices and Muslim Culture Introduction To deliver the best healthcare services among Muslim patients, one has to be aware of their cultural believes and faith. In the Muslim communities, there are a variety of ethnic, cultural and linguistic groups with their view of appropriate health services.  As a result of care for Muslim patients becomes challenging to healthcare providers and nurses.

Mythical Features in Contemporary Culture Intercultural Misunderstandings Conflicts have occurred between various communities due to failure to failure to meet neutral terms and conditions. For instance, the division of labour is a major source of conflict in multiple communities. Due to changes taking place in today’s world, different communities have a varied opinion on the who is to do what in society. Based on gender and class, a state of misunderstanding occurs as people have different views. For example, some tasks, such as house chores, are perceived to be roles of the women. Similarly, subordinate ranks are presumed to belong to lower class people since they are considered inferior. Due to these disparities based on sex and social status, community members have been at logger-head with each other as they share no common grounds. Some advocate for equality for all while others call for grouping according to gender and qualifications in pursuing various roles in the societal setting.

Charles Handy classes of organizational culture Organizational Culture Charles Handy developed several classes of organizational culture in a bid to get a better understanding of why employees behave in some way. Power culture is the first class. Here, Handy says that in an organization, the power to make essential decisions lies in the hands of a relatively small number of people (do Carmo Silva & Gomes, 2015). Even though the number of influential individuals is low, their impact is felt by all the people in the organization. The powerful few in an organization determine the things that should happen at a particular time. They also decide the person or group of people that should implement their decisions. The junior members in the organizations are expected to do exactly what their leaders decide (do Carmo Silva $ Gomes, 2015). In the case of a company, employees are judged by the outcomes of their actions as opposed to their ways of doing things. That kind of culture promotes Consequentialism in ways that benefit the organization even when the processes of achieving the…

Reflection Paper on Popular culture Popular culture is all around us whether or not we are aware of it. It shapes our opinions and enlightens us about the transformations happening around us. I interact with popular culture daily through what I listen to on the radio, read in the newspaper, and watch on the television. I mostly use the internet to interact with popular culture. In today’s modern world, the internet is responsible for shaping opinions. According to Pew Research (2008), unlike the 19th century, newspapers, television broadcasts, and even scientific discoveries are today accessible through the internet.  My reaction to popular culture depends on whether or not I am interested in the pop culture artifact. For instance, I don’t find modern fashion as compelling as contemporary music. I, therefore, choose to interact with the later. I react to pop culture I am drawn to by sharing artifacts with family and friends and giving my feedback to the owners. Through studying popular culture, I have come to understand that culture changes over time. The perceptions of popular culture in the…

Introduction to the History of Asian Art Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu Cultures Question 1 Achievements of the Shang Dynasty The Shang Dynasty is one of the oldest Dynasties in China after the Xia Dynasty. The Shang leader, Tang, took over after overthrowing Xia leader, Jie. The Shang Dynasty reigned from c.1600-1046BCE. Since many historians still question the existence of the Xia Dynasty (c.2700-1600BCE), the Shang Dynasty is believed to the first Dynasty in ancient China (Tregear, 1968). The Shang Dynasty came at a time when the economy was stable. As a result of the economic stability enjoyed during the era of the Shang Dynasty, a lot was accomplished, including cultural advancements, including bronze castings, writing, calendar, and religious rituals. The Shang Dynasty was overthrown by the Zhou, who was then defeated by the Qin Dynasty, who founded current China. It is worth noting that before the Zhou and the Qin Dynasties, the Chinese culture had already been formed (Tregear, 1968). This means that if historians were to disregard the existence of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty was responsible for…
