Here's the infamous Caitlin Jenner joke: "I’m going to be nice tonight. I’ve changed. Not as much as Bruce Jenner, obviously … now Caitlyn Jenner. What a year she’s had. She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and destroying stereotypes. She didn’t do a lot for women drivers, but you can't have everything, can you?" I cannot locate the transphobia i.e the "emotional disgust, fear, anger or discomfort felt or expressed towards people who do not conform to society's gender expectations" in this joke? This joke remind us all that not only is a celebrity's life is inherently more valuable than a non-celebrity's, but that once the media decides you're the person for a particular trending cause, they will not call attention to your homicidal acts. The media quite often decides for us what our reaction should be to some event before we've had seen and analyzed it. …show more content…

Raw information much like crude oil, has to be refined so it can be used as the gasoline to give put into motion specific ideologies. Looking at Donald Trump's campaign for President of the United States, facts are meaningless. His campaign is built upon the dissemination of viscerally divisive ideologies.

Since the beginning of his campaign, President Trump has often portrayed himself as the victim of the liberal media and “fake news.” While every person should make a habit of checking their sources, it is my assertion that the media’s attitudes towards Trump have benefited him greatly. A common comparison somewhat alike to the chicken and the egg, is whether the media accurately represents events or creates them in their depiction. In my view both instances are present and valid in one’s attempt to analyse the media.

Thousands of women have screamed at the top of their lungs, clawed at the patriarchy, and tirelessly fought for their rights as citizens of the United States of America. From the beginning of mankind, women have been labeled as inferior to men not only physically, but mentally and intellectually as well. Only in 1920 did women gain the right to voice their opinions in government elections while wealthy white men received the expected right since the creation of the United States. A pioneer in women’s suffrage, Susan B. Anthony publicly spoke out against this hypocrisy in a time when women were only seen as child bearers and household keepers. Using the United State’s very own Constitution and Declaration as ammunition, Anthony wrote countless

The comic by Jim Sizenmore provokes comedy. The comic is used to flip the gender roles in the workplace and make men the joke instead of women. “the phrase girl talk- uttered here by a female executive- gets transformed into a sly joke” (434).

In today’s hyperpolarized political climate where the controversial public figure, President Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, Americans have become transfixed upon something that should in theory be nonnegotiable: the truth. The “truth”, defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “the quality or state of something being true”, or “in accordance with fact or reality”, is something that, by definition, is black and white. However, many individuals on all areas of the political spectrum today, fail to see the what is true even when “fact or reality” is readily accessible and present, raising questions as to whether the truth is a concept as plain as it once was viewed to be.

As a result, people have created a vicious cycle in which they search, read, believe, and share what they have read, without considering the reliability of the information and news. Technology has influenced communication and journalism; as a result, the media has adopted a business model based on clicks and advertising. The combination of people 's need for information and the greed of news corporations have allowed for the proliferation of “fake news,” a term that has gained importance in the last two years. Fake news is “completely made up, manipulated to resemble credible journalism and attract maximum attention and, with it, advertising revenue” (Hunt, 2016). News has the power to alter people’s perceptions which can impact their decisions related to economy, democratic process, and their lives and jobs.

Many audiences of stand up comedy enjoy hearing their favorite comedian entertain them. But what would one think when a comedian cracks a joke about a sensitive topic, for example, a tragedy that affected hundreds of people. Some may argue that, comedians are not supposed to overstep the boundary of controversial jokes. These controversial jokes are linked with political correctness—which is used to describe language, policies, and measures that are taken to avoid offense to certain groups of people. Comedians are not compelled to restrain from controversial topics due to the topic not being sugar-coated, the higher level of contemplation that the joke can reach, and the job of the comedian—to make the current issue manageable.
