Goals in relation with English

-
I have a huge bucket list, mostly filled with absurdly unrealistic goals. However, a goal I would love to achieve by learning the material in class is to travel around the globe and to write/record my experience on what event happened. Due to the many years, I lived in UAE, I’ve been landlocked and wasn't diversified into different aspects of culture, therefore as an international IB student I have a sudden desire to travel around the world and explore whats out of my comfort zone.

The information given in class is highly susceptible to being interpreted into a global and cultural basis. 'language in cultural context' is 1 part out of 4 that I think suits well into the goal that I'm starting to consider. It mentions audience and the purpose and its effects on the integral structure of the 'journal' which should give more of a broad working space on influential personalities concerning culture and influence. This unit asked questions about culture and language, which question about technology and different languages.

The knowledge and the material in class could give a significant benefit on what I could potentially write or record through my journal if I were to travel around the globe. The subject mentions that we study language in relation with culture and reading segments from texts. The aim for writing a journal was to instruct it to the future generations having a book that could cater the audience and to give a pleasant or entertaining story. The most useful from this is that from language in cultural context, it's all about providing the audience and how culture and context shape language.

Hurston Their eyes were watching god v. Wallace’s This is water.

Wallace primarily focuses on the notion of perspectives and understanding how each individual could be understood without the self-centered, narcissistic thoughts regulating our perspectives, therefore it's applicable with Hurston ’s novel  (Their eyes were watching god), where the personal narrative of Janie becomes a political narrative in the novel, where the perspectives of an individual character clashes with an individual's desires. Janie perspectives break the norm of submissive and disempowered females within the social context of the 1930s. Her choices subsequently broaden our perspectives while breaking the cliche and norm of financial stability for sustained living that surrounds females, despite what characters say about financial stability and the perception having a social/financial stature, Janie still reluctantly proceed to desire a more profound compassionate relationship. This transitions to the use of emotional intelligence that Jaine gains in or

gender stereotypes in ads

These three ads display the stereotypical norms amongst the gender preferences in advertising. The athletics market will typically try to use males as an active portal displaying the use of the product in a more direct and linear fashion, while as the females tend to be a decorative portrayal posing more intimately, using the female's body as the frame to present the product. Females and males share a huge contrast in athletics advertising. I'm male modelling they tend to wear athletic clothing and majority of times they're captured in the sport, while females model within the fashion aspects of the athletics brand. Correlations with under armour's and adidas's ads show the use of a female body as a decorative portrayal of the product, both are aimed mostly towards fashion as both displays an inducing silhouette. The under armour statement placed in the ads exclaims “I am more than just a pretty face”  invoking irony with as it displays a dominant and seductive post

Power and privilege How and why is a social group represented in a particular way? The article published by New York times entitled; “The majority of children born to women younger than   30 are born to single mothers” written by Jason DeParle and Sabrina Tavernise. The portrayal of individual mothers through statistical bias confirming the notion of single mothers in negative connotations; sheds light on the distinct social group in  Lorain, Ohio.
