The gender lens points out all the evil within the men and women that is shown throughout the movie "The Third Man". The scene that I noticed that showed how there is evil within men and women is when Holly Martens buys some flowers and brings them with him when he knocks on Anna Schimdts apartment door. When he comes the light is darker on him then it is on her. The lighting shows how he has a bad side to him. When he walks in most of the light is focused on the flowers which show exactly what they are meant to represent. Holly Martens thinks that Anna Schimdt is a whore when talking about the Madonna or Whore Theory. That Theory states that women are either a Madonna, a gentle care giver, or a Whore, a sextual creature. Holly Martens thinks that Anna Schimdt can just be won like a little stuffed animal at the county fair grounds. He tried to win her over by bringing her bright and fluffy flowers. Since Holly Martens thought Anna Schimdt was a Whore the flowers were suppose to be the easy way to get her with him. Also this scene brings out the evil and bad that is within Anna Schidmt. Holly Marten try's to win her over and forget about Harry lime with some bright and fluffy flowers. It doesn't work, she is the Whore he thinks she is. In the end though she is the oblivious stereotypical women. She knows how bad of a man Harry Lime is, but ignores the truth and still falls in love with him. Within this scene the camera shows how powerless Anna Schmidt is and how absent she is to the truth by putting a downward angle when she is viewed. Within this scene of the movie "The Third Man", the Gender Lens shows how men and women can be evil.

I really enjoyed all the Ted Talks and everybody did so well but I'm going to write this blog about Shaena's Ted Talk. I really enjoyed listening to her speech, she really caught my attention with what she was saying. Like at first in her introduction she drew me in to want to listen more about what she was saying, which is exactly what you want to do. Her delivery was very good! Her speaking was very smooth, it was the right speed and the perfect volume. I also really liked how she included her own personal experience with her poverty topic. She showed us lots of pictures which clicked my understanding better with what she was saying. The pictures she showed she compared what things were like here and what things are like in Kenya. They don't get electronics, vehicles, and toys like we do. She told us a story of how happy and a excited a middle age boy there was for getting a container of bubbles. If a middle age kid gets bubbles here, it's boring and not as excited. She showed with this little story how we aren't as appreciative for things then all the other people are for things they get. Here, we just expect it, there it is absolutely amazing to get anything to play with because there used to having to make or imagine there one toys and games. I really enjoyed hearing about her trip to Kenya and how poverty isn't always such a bad thing. Like we think we have it so bad here at times, but there they have it two hundred times worse and still are happy spirited. They never show through their personality or attitude how bad they really have it. The little things there mean the world to them, but aren't as meaningful here compared to them. It was really cool to here how she put the whole Ted Talk together. Her whole presentation was organized and easy to follow.

Follis.Jordyn. TedTalk

In my Ted Talk I want to have my Thesis be along the lines of how cancer effects the family dynamic. My goal of my Ted Talk is to inform people with information about cancer that you probably wouldn't know and show how the whole battle for my cousin started and then say how it affects the family.

The start of my Ted Talk would include the history and definition of cancer. I would also include all the different kinds of cancer, how it forms so they understand how it can happen to anybody, all the different things people can do to prevent It or limit themselves from it. I would show some visuals to make it easier to understand. I want to inform listeners about the treatments and give them some research on cancer coming back. I want to make sure people know how serious it can be and how cancer can affect people who didn't even know much information about the topic. I want to start slow and explain the basics about cancer so they know how it affects the people who battle this serious illness.

Next I want to share my family story. Have it be a narrative and take my listener to the moment that my cousin was in when she found out she had cancer. I want to go into more detail about the life of a cancer fighter. How each day for them is a battle. How one day it could be the best day of their lives to just sit around at home watching movies, and then another day they do the same exact thing and it just is a horrible say. Everything affects then differently day by day.  I want to talk about how much of a battle it is to get healthy again it is and how the survivors life changes forever, even though they beat this small battle, the overall battle isn't over.

And in conclusion my ted talk was to inform listeners about cancer and how serious it can impact the family dynamic.

This outline is pretty broad and unorganized, so any comments or suggestions would be great!

                 One of the Ted Talks we watched in class was spoke by a guy named Mike Rowe. Within this speech Rowe used the quote "If I'm wrong about this, what else am i wrong about?" Throughout the quote above, the speaker is using sarcasm to show that he is wrong and he is in disbelief. The way he perceived castrating a lamb along many others, was wrong. Doing it the dirtier and harder way is better in this situation. This quote makes you think deeply about everything you do, even the smallest things. It also makes you ponder about if its the right way to do something in a certain situation, and how it affects all living things and the environment. This quote makes me connect with another Ted Talk we watched in class. The author gives an example how in Great Britain, 97% of the people have a Electric Tea Kettle. She interprets if all the people who have electric tea kettles wouldnt use them for one day, all that electricity would light up a town for an hour. Little things as not using a electric tea kettle can save that much electric and do so much for another town. What other little things can we do differently that makes a huge impact? 

The Wife-Beater D.E.J.

As I was reading The Wife-Beater by Gayle Rosenwald Smith, the author really caught my attention with the unrealistic quote "Some articles quote women who felt the shirts looked great, especially on guys with great bodies. One woman stated that it even made guys look "manly." So manly equals violent?"(529). Throughout the quote above, Smith over emphasizes that manly equals violent with one women's opinion. Smith states just her opinion that has no actual proof behind it, no back up evidence, just what she believes is to be true. She dives in saying that women think a wife-beater is manly using only her opinion. What Smith was saying would have been more reasonably true if she would have used all other women's opinions instead of just one women's thoughts. By Smith doing this, it would have been more factual for the readers to believe. Smith influence the readers opinion by jumping to her conclusion and saying that, it makes the readers double think if everything else she has said is the truth or just her opinion. Smith is also trying to fluctuate the readers opinion so that they agree with her by incorrectly doing it. She should be using facts to argue it, and not using just her opinion. Smith also uses fallacies when trying to argue her point. This quote is an example of one, it is deceptive, misleading, and/or a false notion. Smith uses the opinion of what one women states, by her doing that is it suppose to be in say for all women? This quote is a type of fallacy called Personal Attack, or Argument Ad Hominem. This fallacy affects the validity of the argument by attacking the motives or character. By doing this it causes the readers attention to divert from the facts of an argument. Rather then focusing on the negative significance of the "Wife-Beater", the author slides the readers attention to her opinion.
