Theodor Storm (1817-1888) was a German lawyer and writer who is perhaps best known for his novellas, most notably his last completed work “Der Schimmelreiter”. His writing developed from the lyrical depiction of love and nature, via artful fairy tales inspired by E.T.A Hoffmann and Hans Christian Andersen to realist prose. “Die Nachtigall” appears in the fairy tale Hinzelmeier, but this context is immaterial to the poem’s interpretation. It elaborates on a young girl’s transition to adulthood from

There is definitely a problem when we talk about gender equality and sexism. It's everywhere: in movies, commercials on television, in music videos, at the workplace and even at school. The gender biases are blatant. One of the sources of the problem lies in the media and the way the media portrays women. For example, the function of an assistant can be fulfilled by both a man and a woman, but when we look at movies and commercials, we often think that it is weird when the assistant of a powerful

The pornography industry has become extremely prevalent in today’s cultural. Pornography grabs a hold of its victims and creates an addiction that is not easy to break from. It also creates an environment for human trafficking. Many studies have shown that pornography creates a bad environment “when viewing a specific behavior in a specific context affects judgments regarding that particular behavior in that particular context” (Wright & Bae, 2015, p. 446). This means that pornography is causing

Billy Wilder’s 1959 classic comedy called Some Like It Hot subverts the commonly accepted social norms regarding gender identity. It portrays two men dressed as women in order to escape a mob after witnessing the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre. Shortly after, they join an all-girl jazz band. Moreover, the two male characters (in disguise) involve themselves in relationships with members of both a man and a woman, further challenging the gender norms.

There is a scene where Ben tries to sabotage his first date with Elaine by driving incautiously ignoring her and forcing

15 Sick Sociopaths You Thought Were Hot Come on, admit it, we love the crazies. And since the 1970’s movies have introduced us to a slew of twisted, depraved killers and sociopaths that shock us but also deeply intrigue us. Sociopathy (sometimes also known as a psychopathy) is defined as a type of personality disorder. People with this disorder often display extreme antisocial attitudes (which many times result in criminal acts) and a lack of conscience. They are unable to feel guilt or have empathy

Would you feel naked if you saw an x-ray of yourself? What we might not see as sexual in current times could be interpreted differently and perhaps even as pornographic not so long ago.

During this time taking x-ray

As it has been highlighted in the course of this analysis, then, similarly to Frozen, most of Sausage Party’s success lies in its universality, even though such universality is played in the opposite way of Frozen: this time, the single characters are granted a greater emotional and psychological depth, while it is their physical aspect that is unrelatable since they are not humans but grocery items. Actual empirical evidence on the effects of viewership identification is still lacking, but a study

theory (cf. Byron 134f). In this context, one has to mention criminal anthropology and sexology as two pseudo scientific fields that worked to understand human behaviours that were considered abnormal.(cf. Hurley 196f) Criminal anthology used scientific ideas to explain how criminals are a lower form of evolution or more precisely some form of subhuman that can be recognized by certain physical attributes. Sexology used similar ideas to explain why homosexuals and so called inverts and New Woman were

Which aspects of society make it great? Some say the diversity of opinions, ideas, and identities is one of the contributing factors. One group of people who disagreed with this was the Nazi Party of Germany from 1936-1945. The people of this ideology prioritized social conformity to keep the gears of their society turning. Whether or not this was a proper way to run society can be inferred by the outcome of their ideology, but that isn’t the subject at hand. Although many see the book burnings

Sexology wasn’t streamlined again until the 1970s when sex research was picked up once again. Reflecting on sexology it started out with very different views on Sadomasochism. At first the words Sadist and Masochist were designed to be diagnosed pathologies, or diseases, based off of Krafft Ebbing’s writings

Or maybe how they could execute these activities with no remorse?

Though pornography might be harmless to consumers, it educates these obnoxious concepts to viewers. Which could potentially lead to sexually violence
