Culture Article Review Examples

29th of January 2015

In the book “The Porning of America” by Sarracino and Kevin M. Scott authors told about such phenomenon as the porning of America. Nowadays we can meet elements of porn in everyday life – in films,magazines, advertising and even in cartoons. It has influence on self development of adults and children as well. Pornography was a kind of erotic art a long time ago, now it transformed into porn with elements of violence. Person can face with it even when do not mean to, it can suddenly appear in browser window when you are looking for a toy for your kid. It leads to demoralization of society and has great impact on people of all ages. Maybe we’ve got our freedom, but we lost our choice.
The article “Hip Hop Honey or Video Ho: African American Preadolescents’ Understanding of Sexual Scripts” explains how wireless technologies and Hip-Hop culture can be used in propaganda of healthy way of life, popularization of vaccination uptake. It is based on the fact that Hip-Hop culture is extremely popular among the youth and American-African young women. This was a nice idea to promote vaccination using emails, short messages and some Hip-Hop pictures and music. People who decided to implement it tried different ways to remind about HPV vaccination to increase the level of its uptake. They have faced some problems, but they were active and gained some results now. And they are not going to stop on it, they believe in the success of the project.
The last article contains three stories from the life of a disabled person. This article impressed me a lot. I have never tried to understand how it is and what these people have to meet every day. The author told about the reaction of people on her, about highlighted wish to help her even when she does not need it, she told how she has to fight every day or the right to be “normal”. She told how she became some kind of porn star. She showed that disabled people want to enjoy the life too, they deserve to be loved, to be willing. They deserve to get everything from life. She gave a good example for all disabled people, gave them hope and trust in themselves. I respect this person and it was very interesting to read the last article.
