Hey what’s up guys ! My name is Richard Oscar I am a senior here at NJCU. I am very excited to complete my undergraduate degree. I major in social crime and social justice. I plan to become a parole officer. My passion and ambition to help others in need is what strives me to take on this task. I believe I can be an asset to the community by providing a safer environment, due to skills I have acquired throughout my educational career. During my spare time I love watching tv shows, movies, and listening to music. Hopefully this semester will be a success for me. I hope to obtain knowledge and support from my peers and my professor. It’s a pleasure to be amongst you all and I hope this semester is a success for everyone!
Understanding Patriarchy -
"Our family sat spellbound rapt before the pornography of patriarchal violence. After this beating I was banished-forced to stay alone in the dark. Mama came into the bedroom to soothe the pain, telling me in her soft southern voice, "I tried to warn you. You need to accept that you are just a little girl and girls can't do what boys do." In service to patriarchy her task was to reinforce that Dad had done the right thing by putting me in my place, by restoring the natural social order."
This quote stands out to me simply because I have encountered a similar altercation with my parents. My mother sided with my father by reinforcing that my dads actions were applicable. Even though his chose of disciplinary actions can be viewed a bit harsh. She did this simply restoring the natural social order.
"To indoctrinate boys into the rules of patriarchy, we force them to feel pain and to deny their feelings."
I was drawn to this phrase since I have personally experienced this issue as a boy. I was taught that males suck it up and suppress their emotions and that boys don't tear up.
How Memes Are Making Protest Art More Powerful -
"The politically motivated manipulation of imagery is hardly a new phenomenon, but the internet is changing how it is distributed and who can partake."
This is really interesting. This is new to me; I had no idea that political imagery has been used for so long.
"In contrast, the value of meme protest art lies not in the authenticity of the image, but in its undermining of the original source and the assertion of a different truth. The Trump executive order memes superseded the original intention of the image, with the imbecilic characterization of the President becoming the viewer’s immediate association, rather than the image of unquestionable prestige that Trump would certainly prefer."
This implies that meme protest art frequently challenges the original message or picture by using humor, satire, or skillful image modification in order to show an alternative viewpoint or the truth.
Memes Are Out Generation's Protest Art
"The ability for the meme to empower and push back can be really powerful. They’re definitely sites of resistance against perceptions of abuse of power".
I was drawn to this quote because I firmly believe that a meme can backfire and gain enormous force.
"Most people interact with these images in fleeting ways as they scroll through their feeds, but creating or consuming political memes that align with one’s point of view can be therapeutic. They reflect what’s happening in society, and help justify feelings of rage and fear while helping us feel less alone."
I was drawn to this quote because this is facts!
