Microphones

  Haruka est né à Sasebo, Japon. Il y vivait avec sa mère et ses sœurs. Il avait 15 ans quand il commençait à s'occuper de la musique. Il était un garçon très ambitieux. Il étudiait au lycée et il était très excité pour l'université et pour ses rêves aussi. Sa meilleure amie était Megumi qui était dans la même classe avec lui. Ils étaient amis pendant 5 ans. Megumi saisait tout sur lui et Haruka saisait tout sur elle aussi. Ils passaient de temps ensemble presque tous les jours. Megumi le supportait en tout cas. Haruka écrivait des chansons depuis longtemps et il chantait aussi. Il aimait cet hobby trop parce que il se sentait tranquille et heureux quand il s'occupait de la musique. Son meilleur rêve était devenir un chanteur et en plus, il voulait chanter sur le stage de son concert devant les spectateurs. Haruka pratiquait beaucoup pour réaliser son rêve de jour comme de nuit, c'était toujours dans son esprit. Il écrivait beaucoup de chansons jusqu'ici et il

The Effect of Media on Stereotypes

Media has a strong effect on the way we think and perceive the world. The culture that we live in has something to do with our beliefs about some groups of people as well. We learn the figure of a father and a mother while living with our parents. Therefore, the things that we see around us inevitably shape our viewpoints and make us familiar with some kind of stereotypes as Walter Lippmann defines stereotypes as "pictures in our heads" (qtd. in Whitley and Kite). Zavyalova claims that the media is "responsible for channeling the information to multifarious audience groups" (126). We live in a generation that is surrounded by mass media communication, which includes print media, publishing, the news media, photography, cinema, broadcasting (radio and television), digital media, and advertising. For this reason, there is a perfect environment for stereotypes to spread, and our thoughts tend to be biased. The stereotypical images envelop our everyday lives, even thoug

#MeToo Movement and the Reasons Behind Its Effect

  Intending to show that the number of women who have been sexually abused is not inconsiderable, the #MeToo movement made its way as women said: “Me Too!”. And there are a few reasons behind this achievement. To begin with, as our age is surrounded by technology, it lays the groundwork for the #MeToo movement to spread all across the world. The fact that a person’s sharing may enable something to go over with a bang is displayed clearly as Phipps states that the #MeToo movement, founded by Tarana Burke in 2006, made a worldwide impact eleven years after its establishment when Alyssa Milano shared it as a hashtag on her Twitter account (2). Social media is a beneficial platform for those who want other people to hear their voices. There is a reason why so many people like that kind of stuff: they want to take action by making others who are suffering like themselves stop their silence too. Tarana Burke defines #MeToo as a “movement about giving people access to a healing journey” (“Thi

Bloody Calendar

"A drop of blood dripped on my ring, as scarlet as the color of the fruit springing from a dogwood tree. In an instant moment, I forgot that it was just a delusional scene, it was so real. So clear as my feelings I try to come across in the reflection of my face's blurriest legation". Mr. Studia was writing these sentences of initiative when one of the flying muse-like robots came near him and told him to continue working. "Working, working, working", said he, "what about getting inspired to pour my soul into a sheet of paper?". Then, he started to wonder if there was something that he could still call "soul" those days. "Pfff, there is nothing in my mind, what am I going to do when there is nothing in my mind?", said Mr. Studia, and then the robot came again and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with? You seem a little bit out-of-duty, maybe you need a reminder, right?". "Right?", the robot repeated the s

Psychology Through Fiction: Analysing Robert Browning’s “Porphyria’s Lover” in Form and Content

Abstract This paper aims to show the correlation between the fictitious speaker’s psychological state and some aspects of the form and content of Robert Browning’s dramatic monologue “Porphyria’s Lover”. By means of this, it will be argued that Browning is affected by human psychology in the nineteenth century as can be seen in this poem. In the first paragraph, this paper gives the definition of the dramatic monologue technique and exemplifies some of its functions. It debates how this form opens a way for the psychological view of the poem, and how it reveals the narrator’s mind, personal interests, and inner temptations. Following this, it deals with the speaker’s characteristic features that can be identified throughout the poem. In what ways it can be stated that the narrative voice has an arrogant, selfish, inconsistent, violent, and misogynistic behavior and point of view is clarified respectively. Moreover, this paper also focuses on indicating how the speaker is a narcissist
