Tupac- "CHANGES"

-

Tupac's track “Changes” display a lot of vulgar voices to transcribe the social norms/discrimination towards African Americans. Tupac uses African American vernacular English to essentially transcribe political issues towards police brutality, racism, poverty and substance abuse to name a few. It's highly evident that Tupac’s tone is initially dejected in the first verse. This created a mood which displays a deficient towards changes In American society while presenting the African American community using dialect specific to African Americans, “ kill a nigga, he's a hero” “‘I made a G today,’ but you made it in a sleazy way” words such as “nigga”, “g” and “sleazy” are commonly used in African American dialect, this represents the African American community as a whole. Tupac uses this tone as a means to become aggressive as well, for example, “Cops give a damn about a negro Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero” a direct line referring to the police using irony to harmonize with his advocation for change, while using the words “negro” and “nigga” to present himself as African American. The theme and content can heavily impact the community as Tupac voice and words are dominant not only to the African American community but also towards caucasian communities.

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
