Morticia Ziegfeld Oct 29, 2018 in Culture SEX: Why does it sell? Sex has been an integeral part of forwarding the continuation of species throughout time, but how has stimulating the idea of mating become a selling point? Within the animal kingdom, males are predominantly the more decorated, as opposed to females. However, when it comes to humans, although men and women are sexualised, women tend to be heavily sexualised and marketed towards. This is something that has always sparked my interest. Is sex’s marketing use simply a construct we as humans have placed upon society, or are we naturally seeking to see things that are more sexual as more engaging?
SheEmz Jul 16, 2018 in Writing Inner rambles. What’s the point of social media? It was created to supposedly connect people in one worldwide online community. What is it actually? A place where many call their home and others call it their hell. ______ The way social media has gone, it’s more about images then words. It’s more about getting a hundred likes on a Instagram post or the latest Snapchat filter streak. No one cares for the silent, for the unseen. If you have 380 friends yet have no one to turn to, If you have a ton of followers watching your every move yet never seek to ask- but, how are you really? Social Media, created to connect us all, has interacted with our lives differently, constantly and without...
SheEmz Jul 15, 2018 in Writing What is beauty? Beauty is a constant changing idea that evolves around the world we live in and the technology we possess. It’s a ridiculous notion that only the selected of their surroundings can hold the title. Regardless of the ones with brown eyes, the ones with the short hair, the ones with the potential. Society tells us how to view beauty at every minute of everyday. The visual images at our fingertips. What about those that don’t fit into society’s norms? What about the big? The small? The world teaches us to chase for an image that we’re never going to reach rather than to accept the image we hold today. This idea of beauty. It’s not just the basic black and white of a...
Juliette Meyer May 10, 2018 in Culture 💫INSPIRING QUOTE💫 We know – it has been measured in many experiments – that children with strong impulse control grow to be better adjusted, more dependable, achieve higher grades in school and college and have more success in their careers than others. Success depends on the ability to delay gratification, which is precisely what a consumerist culture undermines. At every stage, the emphasis is on the instant gratification of instinct. In the words of the pop group Queen, “I want it all and I want it now.” A whole culture is being infantilised.
Juliette Meyer May 10, 2018 in Technology Self surveillance in a Panoptic society If you were unfortunate enough to have been incarcerated in England at the end of the 18th Century, you may have found yourself inside a ghoulish structure called the Panopticon. This unique architectural structure was the brainchild of philosopher named Jeremy Bentham who, in 1791, theorised this glass-roofed, circular structure featuring prison cells facing inwards along its external wall, which faced a central guard tower. This ingenious structure allowed guards, stationed within the rotund tower, to keep all inmates in the surrounding cells operating under the assumption that they were under constant surveillance. Its ingenuity lay in the fact that the...
Raven Waters Apr 8, 2018 in Advice Who We Are Meant To Be Will there become a day where anyone is stripped off with the dread of “not being good enough,” the fear of not fitting in and just live the life we have always wanted? We live in a world where our worth are measured with the things we possess and stuff we can do; our souls, measured by the number of likes and shares we receive, the quantity of friends and followers we have online. Our world has taught us that the things that are valuable are things that are tangible which led almost every one of us to show what we deliberately want to reveal in order to be accepted by the society; forgetting the true value of our self worth. Our world has taught us...
