This document discusses race and ethnicity in sports. It begins by defining ethnicity as relating to heritage and culture, while race is a social construct often based on skin color. The document then provides examples of how Black athletes like Jackie Robinson helped catalyze social change. It also discusses activism among athletes during the civil rights movement versus avoiding politics. While all sports are popular, ethnic expectations can be limited by stereotyping, lack of mentorship, and money. Participation and coaching rates in major sports are then shown, with whites dominating in coaching roles. The document concludes by discussing how media can stack or place certain races in positions that fit social stereotypes and expectations, and the issues surrounding racial and ethnic mascots.

Media outLETS's final project power point examines the ethical breach in sports journalism by comparing and contrasting men's and women's sports coverage. We found that women's sports coverage usually center on sexist topics and false images. In this presentation, we explained why we think there is an ethical breach in women's sports coverage and how it has improved over time because of change in journalistic standards.

Women in sport

asasen

The document discusses the history of women's participation in sports from the 1800s to present. It notes that in the 1800s, women were discouraged from physical activity and viewed as purely reproductive. Over time, women fought for increased participation rights and recognition of their athletic achievements. However, they continue to face challenges such as sexism, unequal treatment, and pressures that can contribute to the female triad of disordered eating, osteoporosis, and amenorrhea.

Gender Inequality and Sports

tommygun165

This document discusses gender inequality in sports media coverage and salaries. It notes that while women athletes are achieving great accomplishments, they receive significantly less media attention than their male counterparts. This lack of coverage means fewer female role models for young women and less incentive for women to become professional athletes when potential earnings are so much lower. The document argues that increasing funding for women's leagues and improving media coverage could help address these inequalities.

This document provides an overview of the history of women in sport, current leadership issues, and political issues related to body image. It discusses how women's participation in sports has evolved from being largely non-existent in the 18th-19th centuries to gaining more acceptance between 1950-1970. Today, women have made strides in leadership roles but are still underrepresented. The media tends to focus more on women athletes' appearances than their athletic accomplishments.

Homosexuality In Sports

The document discusses issues of homophobia and inequality faced by gay athletes. It notes that gay athletes often face hostility, verbal and social abuse, and feel pressure to conceal their sexuality. This is due to stereotypical views of masculinity and femininity in sports. The case of former NFL player Esera Tuaolo is examined, who endured abuse after coming out. Resolving homophobia requires education, embracing diversity, and raising awareness of the experiences of gay athletes through advocacy events.

African American athletes have had a profound impact on professional sports. They have changed the racial makeup of sports and influenced public perception. Many pioneering black athletes broke barriers and records in sports like basketball, baseball, football, and more. Today, African Americans dominate in the NBA, NFL, college basketball, and college football. Their successes have inspired many black youth to pursue their dreams in sports.

Race & Sport (2004)

Chrystal Porter

This document discusses various sociological issues related to race and sport, including: oppression of minority groups in sports; participation and employment trends by race; stacking of minority athletes into certain positions; erasure of struggles with segregation from accounts of sporting history; different treatment and assumptions about Black vs. white athletes who turn pro early; lack of research on and support for Black female athletes; and barriers to entry for minorities in some sports. While sports have been problematic, they also offer opportunities to challenge racial inequalities.

Discrimination and racism have been longstanding issues in sports. The document discusses how discrimination exists in all societies and is ever-present in sports, where certain groups face criticism, hatred and discrimination. It provides examples of racist incidents faced by black footballers, like monkey chants and bananas being thrown on the field. While efforts have been made over the years to fight racism, the document argues that discrimination in sports on the basis of race, gender, sexuality and other attributes continues today through stereotypes spread by the media.

The internship at Compass Group involved sales tasks like cold calling, researching companies, and setting up meetings to find new clients and strengthen relationships with current ones. The intern learned about their strengths and weaknesses through tasks like researching a competitor and presenting findings. They gained experience in sales processes, communication skills, and self-motivation that solidified their interest in a sales career.

Samaritan's Feet

AnaBolson

Samaritan's Feet is a global nonprofit organization that provides shoes to people in need around the world to prevent infections, protect health, and enable economic and educational opportunities. Located in several countries, it relies on donations of money, shoes, and help spreading the word from athletes and others to continue its important work of empowering individuals through something as simple as a pair of shoes.

Interview

AnaBolson

Both interviewees use social media frequently and find it plays an important role in their lives. Hannah has seven accounts and uses Snapchat and Instagram most, seeing social media as a way to connect with family and friends since her family lives far away. Jack has four accounts and also uses Snapchat and Instagram most to keep up with pop culture and friends. Both emphasized the importance of managing social media time to be productive, with Hannah putting devices away for hours at a time to focus on other activities and Jack refraining from use until schoolwork is completed. They both find social media can expand their social lives by meeting new people and connecting over common interests.

Historical paper final

The Social Penetration Theory was developed in 1973 by psychologists Irwin Altman and Dalmas Taylor. The theory states that relationships develop through reciprocal self-disclosure, beginning with superficial facts and progressing to more intimate details over time. This process can be visualized using the "onion analogy," with relationship depth represented by moving from outer to inner layers of the onion. The theory has been supported by studies of confined strangers and college roommates. It remains relevant today in explaining relationship development through both in-person and digital/social media interactions.

Critical theory presentation

AnaBolson

This document discusses the problems with authoritarian leadership styles in companies where the boss makes decisions solely because of their position and status within the company, without considering other perspectives. It suggests more democratic approaches that involve open discussion and negotiation between various stakeholders within an organization, including investors, workers, consumers, suppliers, and the community to make decisions.

This document discusses Miley Cyrus and whether she is a positive or negative role model. It notes that during the 2016 US presidential election, Miley Cyrus was critical of Donald Trump and promised to leave the country if he won. The document also argues that Miley Cyrus' on-stage drug use, sexually explicit behavior, and crude language set a bad example for children and youth. While acknowledging Miley Cyrus' talents and large fan base, the author believes she could have a more positive influence by promoting safe sex, discouraging drug use, and encouraging education.

Miley cyrus

AnaBolson

Miley Cyrus is an American pop singer and actress who became famous at a young age starring in the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana. This vaulted her to stardom among millions of young fans worldwide during the social media craze. However, she has since become controversial due to her sexually explicit behavior and views. While she has had success as an entertainer with three number one albums, the author argues she is a bad role model for young people and uses minority culture for personal gain without being genuine.

Debates

AnaBolson

The document discusses Miley Cyrus and whether she is a positive or negative influence. While it acknowledges she is her own person and confident, it criticizes her views on casual sex, open drug usage, and crude lyrics, questioning if this is good for kids to see. The document concludes by saying Miley has opportunities as a singer and actress to be a positive role model by promoting safe sex, discouraging drug use, and encouraging education.

Critical theory presentation

AnaBolson

The document discusses the problems with an authoritarian leadership style where the boss makes decisions solely on their own authority without input or discussion. It suggests that a better approach is stakeholder democracy, where all groups affected by a company's decisions, such as investors, workers, consumers, suppliers, and the community, engage in open discussion and negotiation to reach decisions together. This empowers employees and gives various stakeholders a voice in company actions.
