highway of tears

  What story are the reporters telling? They focus mainly on Madison Scott and Loren Leslie , who were young white women. They only talk briefly about Indigenous women like Ramona Wilson or Colleen MacMillen . You can tell because Madison and Loren’s stories get the most time and emotion, while others are mentioned quickly. How much time is spent on the Indigenous women? not a lot, they are put in the background. The show doesn't tell their full stories or talk about racism or how the police ignored them. Why does the show start with Madison, then Loren, then Indigenous women? The media shows more interest in white women because they are seen as more relatable. It shows that white victims get more attention than Indigenous women. Who watches true crime shows and why? Women aged 25–50,  Middle class,  People who care about safety , justice , or like mystery stories and they watch it cause they can feel a connection with the parents of the missing girls as if they...

scooby doo

what assumptions or beliefs do Scooby do's creators have that are reflected in the content?  i would say some assumptions or beliefs are  Skepticism : The show shows that spooky stuff usually has a logical, human explanation. Youth as heroes : The young gang can solve mysteries, showing that kids can be smart and brave  Stereotypes : Characters follow traditional roles, Fred being the leader, Velma is smart, Daphne needs rescuing, Shaggy & Scooby are scared and funny.   how does this make you feel, based on how similar or different you are from the people portrayed in the media product?  i find it too stereotypical that its annoying, its a good show especially for kids and deals with some heavy stuff but it needs to not be s stereotypical. i wouldnt want my kid watching something and thinking you have to always be saved by a man or that no one will like you cause ur a nerd.   how does the commercial purpose (its for profit right?) of Scooby Do...

vigilante

      Andre Bamberski  Andre Bamberski suspected his daughters step father in her rape and ultimately her death. Bmaberski hired two men to kidnap the step father, Dieter Krombach, and take him to France to be prosecuted. the French courthouse sentenced Krombach to 15 years for "intentional violence that led to unintentional death." Andre Bamberski was sentenced to 3 years but only served a fraction of that.  the answer to whether it was justified is to be debated on one hand Andre was motivated by the strong desire for justice for his daughter who was so deeply wronged. the failure of the German legal system didn't help this situation at all either and his daughter not getting the justice she deserved could have clouded his judgement. Vigilantism undermines the rule of law. no matter how bad the crime, taking the law into one's hands can lead to further legal problems. in this case Bamberskis decision to kidnap Krombach was still illegal and did lead to him fa...
