A reflection of “A theory of mass culture.” By Macdonald, Dwight The “A theory of mass culture,” by Macdonald argues that two cultures have characterized the western culture for the last 100 years. According to Macdonald, these row cultures include the Mass Culture (Popular Culture) and the High Culture. The article argues that Mass Culture growth starts as early as the 1800s, and the factors which perpetuated its growth are well known. Advancement of technology is a core contributor to the growth of the Mass Culture in the western world because it led to the cheap production of music, pictures, periodicals, and furniture, just mentioning a few. The development of technology led to new media such as television and movies, which are well adapted to mass distribution and manufacture. More importantly, Mass culture is regarded as a continuation of the Old Folk Art (the common people culture) until the Industrial Revolution. Gresham’s law in culture is one of the striking contents in the reading. This law dwells on the differences between High culture and Folk Art on a fair correspondence which…

Labor law and industrial relations in Canada Introduction 1 In the first decade and half of the 20th century, before the turn of twentieth century a new model of unization was emerging that would dissolve distinctions among laborers and unite all workers in the same organization-industrial unionism. In Canada the impetus for this new style of unionism came from three kinds of industries (Arthur et al 2004). Workers were concentrated in large numbers and faced more aggressive corporate employers, industries where key groups of workers still had some independence from their employers and industries where distinctions between crafts were traditionally limited or were dissolving in the second industrial revolution. Many of these communities had a high percentage of immigrants. Often the workers who become union leaders had recently arrived from us Britain, or Eastern Europe. Many were socialists who became leaders in part because of their strong commitments to both a labor and political ideology (Arthur et al 2004). Socialist organizers opposed Canada’s commitment to capitalism, and this opposition led them to reject the notion of dividing workers into…
LECTURE 1: DEFINITIONS OF BIODIVERSITY, GENETIC, SPECIES AND ECOSYSTEM DIVERSITY INTRODUCTION 1.Biodiversity is the short form of biological diversity. The term is used to describe the number, variety and variability of living organisms. The convention on biological diversity defines biodiversity as “ the variability among living organisms from all sources including inter alie, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part ; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems.”[Art.2] Why should we care about biodiversity? In the recent years, the loss of entire species and natural areas, caused almost entirely by human activity, has been occurring at unprecedented rates. The extinction of each additional species brings irreversible loss of unique genetic codes which are often linked to development of medicines, foods and jobs. A widespread practice is to define biodiversity in terms of genes, species and ecosystems corresponding to three fundamental and hierarchically related levels of biological organization. GENETIC DIVERSITY Genetic diversity refers to the variety of genes [biochemical units of hereditary information]; it is, therefore, a measure…

Sex and Gender Construction. The sophistication in social media and medical technology has influenced society in the way it portrays men and women. Today most communities heavily rely on media; they have been consumed by what they see on media, which has led to a changed perception towards intersex. Doctors are focusing on words instead of knives leading to the problem. The implications of a child’s future are considered rather than focusing on the physical aspect. Suzanne Kessler says that intersex is a common genetically occurrence and people should welcome and accept, without assuming it. Judith lobar states that today society views sex as a system of the plain binary of boys and girls. Intersex is unfairly treated on social media on how it portrays them. Lobber states clearly that gender construction is a result of socialization. For instance, people have formed perception with pink color being a representation of a girl and blue for a boy, and the same understanding has been grown where most people consider a boy or a girl during any birth.
