History 108 Comment on classmate’s discussion post

/in /by

The Great Crash of 1929 is a widely debated topic on why it occurred. From banks, to the Federal reserve or to new security offerings, there was no concise answer. David M Kennedy, a prominent American historian wrote “The disagreeable truth… is that the most responsible student of the events of 1929 has been unable to demonstrate an appreciable cause and effect” (Klein 326). Though many people equate as being the same, The Great Crash and The Great Depression, the latter was the aftermath of the former. I will look to try and draw some similarities between what happened in 1929, to what happened recently during the past recession during 2008.

Looking at the causes of both events, it is clear to see there was not just one event in either of these circumstances that caused the economy to crash or recede. But one I would like to look at is lending practices. In 1920’s the prosperous economy made it easier for Americans to contact a bank and receive a credit loan to purchase stocks. At the time, it was possible to put down only 10% and receive a 90% loan on stocks (Alert). When the stock market started to crash, these lenders turned back to the investors looking for them to pay off their debts, but many lost the 10% they had put down and depending when they had been asked to repay these debts, most investors had already lost part of the 90% that they had owed (Sandowski). Given the stock market dropped by more than 10% in a day on a few occasions, you can see how many banks ended up having to go bankrupt on this principal alone.

In The Great Recession of 2008 I found a few striking similarities. Subprime Mortgages were a huge part of the financial collapse in 2008. With home prices skyrocketing and banks seeing real estate as easy money, they started giving out high-risk mortgages. Mortgages such as option-ARMs and subprime. These mortgages were given to borrowers with bad credit, or little to no documentation of financial income (Pritchard). Eventually in 2007, home prices stopped appreciating, wages were stagnant and interest rates went up. Borrowers became unable to pay their mortgage and many let the banks foreclose on them. Foreclosures in 2008 spiked up a staggering 81% (Christie). While banks usually would recoup the money that they had lent out by selling the house they had foreclosed on, home values had plummeted 18% (Christie). Leaving many banks to take heavy financial losses and leading to some having to take government bailouts to stay afloat.

Both economies would eventually recover. After the 2008 recession we suffered from the slowest recovery since the great depression based on the rate of growth (Long, Luhby). Though the past two years have seen GDP’s almost double (Healey), and stock markets hit all time highs it is safe to say we have finally, after 10 years fully recovered from the recession. But what were the steps that made us recover? One thing the Bush government did in response to the faulty loans banks had given out was they started buying these risky mortgage bonds and assured investors around the world that the U.S banks would pay off their debts (Gimein). Knowing that the United States would not default on these debts, many investors regained confidence in the current financial situation.

Many believe the end to the Great Depression happened when the United States entered WWII. With more than 12 million Americans joined the military, and a similar amount entered defense related job, it seemingly eroded the 17 million in unemployment the nation had at the time (Folsom). But through this all, if there is one lesson to be learned, I think it’s a simple one. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. Essentially, don’t live above your means

the differences between greek and non-fat yugurt, writing homework help

/in /by

Similar to cheese, yogurt is also a fermented diary product. Greek yogurt has recently become quite popular with consumers. Click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strained_yogurt to learn on your own how Greek yogurt is made. Your assignment is to compare “Nutrition Facts” of a non-fat Greek yogurt vs. regular non-fat yogurt. Provide your main conclusions on the nutritional differences between the two yogurts.

Your conclusions should be about 100 words (no less than 90, but no more than 110). Both yogurts are to be of the same brand, but you can select a brand of your personal preference. Please make sure that you are comparing the same serving size of non-fat Greek yogurt and regular non-fat yogurt; for example, 6 oz. non-fat Greek yogurt and 6 oz. regular non-fat yogurt.

assignment is analyze an animated Disney (or Pixar, etc.) character for the gendered messages that are being conveyed.

/in /by

You may not realize it, but “Disneyfication” is a word.It refers to the transformation of cultural phenomena to resemble the images promoted by Disney films and theme parks.As the materials for this week have shown, these images can frame our understanding of gender and gender roles.So given this, a careful examination of the images that Disney offers to American society (and increasingly the global community) can help us better understand an important cultural influence on how gender proceeds in our imagination and in our interactions.Your assignment is analyze an animated Disney (or Pixar, etc.) character for the gendered messages that are being conveyed.

The Assignment.Select an animated character from a Disney film (or a similar film studio) – this can be a hero, a villain, or a secondary (but still important) character – and provide a detailed discussion about how the character presents a gender strategy and what might be the message that children take from that presentation.

ursula.jpg

Detailing the Character’s Gender Strategy.The first part of your analysis should focus on how the character presents their gender – what kind of strengths and capacities does the character present? what kinds of weaknesses? how do they interact with people of the same gender and with people of a different gender?how does their body convey a sense of gender beyond the biological?

Example:I thought I might look at Ursula from “The Little Mermaid” (Disney 1989) as an example.She is clearly a female character, and we see many of the typical markers of femininity:her make-up includes lipstick and eyeshadow, she wears a necklace with a large pendant, earrings, her outfit resembles a strapless dress.She shows a few markers of being an upper-class woman in that her hair looks modern (for the 1980s); she seems to be in a formal dress with jewelry; and she has long, painted fingernails that I often association with people who have the money for a manicurist.She does offer a few masculine traits that overall provide an element of androgyny.Her hair is short, though still in a style that could be identified as for a woman.She also departs from many of typically feminine characters in Disney in that she full-bodied, older than the norm.[I could write for quite a bit longer and elaborate on the gender expression, but I think I’ve provided enough to serve as an example.]

Setting the Character into the Narrative.It matters whether our character is framed as a hero or villain or comedic side-character, wise sage, etc.The characteristics of a hero are praiseworthy, of a villain are scornful, and of other characters falling somewhere between.Identifying the gender message from the film requires understanding if the narrative sets the character up as a model to be emulated or reviled.

Example:Ursula is a villain.She offers a Faustian bargain with the main character, a young girl who risks giving up her voice in order to pursue the love of a man.Beyond this, when it seems as though Ariel may actually be able to win her love’s heart and retain her voice, Ursula deliberately intervenes against Ariel.Without Ursula, there is no plot (as she sets the adventure in motion with her bargain) and there is no tension (as we realize that Ariel may lose her voice forever to a cruel woman with a greater concern for acquisition than true love).She is clearly an antagonist in the film and not meant to represent a character worth modeling good behavior upon.[Again, I could write so much more, but this will suffice here.]

Gendered Message.And the final element of your paper should articulate precisely what you think the gender message is:what lesson about gender might a child take away from this film?how does this message frame out the importance or irrelevance of hypermasculinity and hyperfemininity?does the character reinforce the feminine apologetic or challenge it?For this section, look back into the readings for this week, and use some of the concepts that Wade and Ferree offer to help with your analysis of the gendered messages conveyed by your character.

Example:Given that Ursula is a reproachable character, we are meant to read her gender portrayal as something equally reproachable.Her masculinist traits (ambition, power, calculation) are deemed the source of her evil.Likewise, there are elements of her feminine gender portrayal that can be read as wrong.She is, for example, a full-bodied woman in a film medium that valorizes thin, hourglass-shaped heroines, making her easily seen as an outcast from the first glimpse we get of her in the film.Intersectional elements are further used to cleave her from a desirable feminine image:she stands out in being an older woman (note the silver hair), and her upper-class affect diverges from the princess-type of wealth to that of a successful business woman with a preference for modern styles.[I could argue many more points and further elaborate on the ones here – I think I could write a whole paragraph on how Ursula rejects the feminine apologetic – but in order to close down this example, I’ll conclude with…]The gendered message that we get from Ursula is twofold:first, do not diverge from the young, thin image of the female body as this represents badness, and second, do not have any other ambitions than to seek a man.

In the end, I’d like to read a 1200-word (at least) discussion detailing of the gender messages presented by an animated character.
