This article criticizes the Netflix series "Narcos" for its unrealistic and historically inaccurate portrayal of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin drug cartel's impact on Colombia. The author argues that the series glorifies narco traffickers and ignores the immense suffering they caused through crimes like massacres, kidnappings and terrorism.

Overall, the author believes the series perpetuates negative stereotypes about Colombia and Colombian people.
This document discusses how a media product represents various social groups through its characters. It analyzes the main characters in the opening scene - a male and female detective - using the framework of CRAGS (Class, Race, Age, Gender, Sexuality). It finds the product both challenges and follows stereotypes regarding these groups. For example, it subverts expectations of class and gender but ultimately reverts to portraying the female character as mentally unstable. The document also examines the ideologies and representations of gender, institutions, and empowerment theory in the media product.
This document contains two opinion articles from FIU student publications.
The first article discusses the importance of recognizing black LGBTQ individuals in Black History Month celebrations. It argues that influential black LGBTQ figures like Bayard Rustin have been left out of discussions and that the black community needs to be more accepting of gay and lesbian individuals.
The second article talks about the importance of celebrating James Baldwin and other black queer figures who helped pave the way for more acceptance. It advocates for learning from Baldwin's rhetoric on issues of race and justice in America. Both articles call for properly representing and acknowledging the roles of black LGBTQ people in history and culture.
This document provides a chronology of hate activity that occurred in Georgia in 1990 as compiled by the Neighbors Network. It summarizes the types of hate crimes that took place, including move-in violence targeting African American and Jewish families moving into white neighborhoods. It also describes harassment and violence directed at interracial couples, immigrants, LGBT individuals, and civil rights activists. The document advocates for communities to support victims of hate crimes and hold law enforcement accountable. It acknowledges that while most police are professional, hate crimes may not always be prioritized. Overall, the chronology aims to illustrate the problem of hate crimes and group activity in Georgia during that year.
This document discusses the need to redefine masculinity away from patriarchal definitions that are harmful to both men and women. It argues that current notions of masculinity promote violence, emotional repression, and an unhealthy emphasis on sex and dominance. Statistics are presented showing the high rates of violence, abuse, and suicide among men, suggesting patriarchal masculinity is "killing our men." A new, feminist definition of manhood is called for that values empathy, emotional expression, and nonviolence over aggression and domination. The goal is to start a discussion about changing rigid, patriarchal gender norms and promoting healthier relationships and identities for both men and women.
The Link Between Masculinity And Social PrejudiceJonathanHunt
This document summarizes a presentation about the link between masculinity and social prejudice. The presenter witnessed a group of men harass and threaten a gay man at a bar until he left. To understand this, the presenter interviewed "Mr. X", a 20-year-old man from a rural area. Mr. X defined masculinity based on strength, sports ability, and drinking large amounts. He looked down upon less masculine traits. Mr. X learned prejudice from his family and friends as a way to fit in, rather than from hatred or fear. While progress has been made, the presenter believes discrimination remains a tradition for some New Zealanders to uphold masculinity.

The document analyzes how various media texts represent youth in similar ways:
1) They imply that youth are futureless, poorly educated, and have little culture. One film shows teenage boys unable to respond to questions about the wider world and subjects them to military service.
2) They portray youth in bleak, gritty locations, mirroring negative perceptions of youth.
3) They suggest youth reject parental authority and ideas, seen when a boy is ridiculed for taking a call from his mother.
4) They highlight themes of youth isolation, like the only ones forced into military training.
5) They depict youth as being led down negative paths by authoritarian figures and adults.
This document discusses how racism and discrimination still impact the treatment and success of African Americans today. It provides examples of how even highly successful African Americans are still seen as inferior or anomalies and are often pigeonholed into certain roles. The document analyzes rhetoric to show how racism prevents African Americans from achieving comprehensive success and discusses how racism is still engrained in systems and perpetuated by those in power seeking to maintain the status quo.

Prinses Laetitia pleit voor gendergelijkheidThierry Debels
This document discusses different perspectives on the concept of equality. It begins by defining equality as the right for all groups to have equal social status and treatment. However, it acknowledges that true equality is complex and difficult to achieve in reality given natural differences between individuals. It argues that equality of opportunity is important, but equity, which ensures equal outcomes, is also needed to create a fair environment. A school classroom example is given where the teacher treats all students equally but may need to spend more time with some to help them achieve the same learning outcomes as others. In conclusion, while equality in society is important, individual differences also need to be considered to ensure fairness.

The document discusses media representations of riots and youth. It finds that media coverage of riots tends to focus on violence, crime, and negative portrayals of youth, often depicting young people as "yobs, thugs, sick, feral, hoodies [and] louts." Experts argue that such misrepresentations may contribute to moral panics about youth in society. Commentators have also debated the role of new media in enabling riots as well as explanations that point to socioeconomic factors like cuts, unemployment, and inequality in Britain.
Bob Cranmer, an Allegheny County Commissioner, grew a beard but was advised by his campaign advisors to shave it off as many voters, especially older voters and men, did not like it. While his family loved the beard, Cranmer reluctantly shaved it off due to the campaign advice. Throughout history, few US presidents have had facial hair other than eyebrows, with the last being William Howard Taft in the early 1900s. There are theories as to why politicians avoid facial hair, such as the need to maintain a clean-cut image and the challenge of maintaining and caring for facial hair on a daily basis.
The document analyzes the 2009 film Harry Brown. It describes Harry Brown as a frail, lonely, isolated man living a dull lifestyle in London. The film uses elements of social realism and the crime and revenge genres. It examines Harry Brown's transformation from a victim to a vigilante seeking revenge after his best friend is murdered. The document analyzes aspects of the film like characters, themes, narrative techniques, and how it portrays youth crime to potentially exploit moral panics around criminal youth.
This document discusses how a media product represents social groups. It aims its content at youth aged 15-24 in the UK to raise awareness of real crime issues they may face. It focuses on this age group as they are more likely to experience crimes due to their surroundings. While some stereotypes were included, like depicting gang members as young black males, the document notes this stereotype wrongly assumes all young black people are dangerous. It provides two examples that negatively portray youths as violent and in gangs, despite diversity in real life.
1. The painting "Sugar Shack" by Ernie Barnes depicts a scene from his childhood of African Americans socializing and dancing at a club. It highlights segregation and romance during that era.
2. The painting focuses on heterosexual relationships and dancing as the main social activity. Details like Marvin Gaye's song "I Want You" reinforce the romantic mood.
3. To research the painting further, the anthropologist would conduct participant observation at a similar club and compare behaviors across race and class through other art from that time period.

Dr. Amos N. Wilson_The Battle Must Be Joined | A Revolutionary PoemRBG Communiversity
This document calls for joining the battle against racism through direct action and confrontation. It states that true change requires risking defeat, fighting "hand to hand" through institutions and traditions, and creating a new world order through rebuilding and restoring what has been destroyed.

Imperialism 101_ Chapter 1 of Against Empire by Michael ParentiRBG Communiversity
This document provides an overview and analysis of imperialism. It discusses how imperialism has shaped world history over the past few centuries through the colonization and oppression of indigenous peoples. While imperialism has had massive impacts, it is often ignored or sanitized in mainstream discourse. The document examines the economic drivers of capitalist imperialism, how it has exploited the land, labor and resources of the global south for profit. It also debunks common myths used to justify imperialism, such as the notion that colonized regions were inherently poor or culturally backward.
This document outlines standards and guidelines for members of the African People's Socialist Party.

This document summarizes key points from Dr. Amos Wilson's book "Blueprint for Black Power" regarding economics and Afrikan nationalism. It discusses Wilson's argument that an African American/Caribbean/Pan-African bloc could generate significant black power to counter white and Asian power networks. It also analyzes potentially powerful black institutions and advocates for greater use of financial tools and institutions to promote economic empowerment. Wilson asserts that true black power requires ownership and control over critical resources like property, wealth, and organization, rather than just political offices. The responsibility of the African American community is to ensure Africa's economic development and invest in rebuilding Africa.

5) They view all African people as part of a single entity, and want the

1) American society is racist and uses the media to portray Black communities as criminal to justify police brutality and oppression.
2) Western powers manipulate the media to control the narrative around conflicts in Africa, portraying violence against Black communities as justified while ignoring mass murder.
3) Centuries of colonial rule created a negative image of Africa that caused Black people in the West to internalize racism and hate their African identity and features.

The Black Power Movement, A State of the Field. Joseph PE, 2009.RBG Communiversity
This document summarizes the evolution of scholarship on the black power movement. It discusses how early narratives portrayed black power negatively, undermining civil rights struggles. Recent studies have provided more nuanced perspectives, establishing black power studies as a field. The black power movement fundamentally transformed racial justice struggles through uncompromising pursuit of social, political, cultural, and economic change across various areas like education, politics, and women's issues. The meaning and impact of black power remains complex with both positive and negative dimensions.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

"POVERTY AND IGNORANCE EQUALS DEATH AND DISEASE. SOLVE
THESE AND YOU WILL HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF BLACK ON
BLACK VIOLENCE"
RBG STOP THE VIOLENCE MOVEMENT POSTER ART
In my way of thinking about black on black violence from my studies and
personal experiences it is an effect / consequence rather than a cause /
primary issue. We live in the citadel culture of violence. There should be no
denial that from its inception America has been a country that glorifies wars
and violence in the name of "peace". She has been at war against Afrikan /
Black people from the time they brought us here against our will to date ( a
most violent process). Every year in its history America has been at war and
3. RBG STOP THE VIOLENCE LESSON Page 3
imposing violence in one form or another against one or more of its
"adversaries". Black people were/are reared and breed in a culture of white
mob violence, lynching, slavery, suffering and death. The history of violence
against Afrikans in Amerikkka is so horrific as to be almost beyond belief.
Socio-structural and institutional violence (vertical violence) begets
interpersonal and intrapersonal violence (horizontal violence).
Thus, the problem of black on black violence is
a problem of cultural mis -orientation, self-
alienation and self-hatred. What we are seeing
manifest as black on black violence is an
emulation of the cultural ways of our
oppressor. We have internalized his ways. This
is called intropression: When the oppressed
are subject to oppression as long as us we
internalize the oppressor and thus do to
ourselves what the oppressor once did to us.
When a Black man kills another Black man he's
saying in his mind "I'm gon kill you nigga" and
in actuality he's killing himself who he hates so
much because he was train to do
so...CULTURAL MIS-ORIENTATION LEADS TO
SELF HATRED.
Superimpose this on the facts of unprecedented unemployment rates in our
communities, miseducation and the dope game / government element
facilitated narcotization of our communities (CIA) , mass media propaganda
that feeds us a study diet of consumerism, materialism and individualism;
breeding jealousy, envy and haterism and you have all the ingredients for
self destruction.
That being said, for those of us that are suffering
from passivist psycho -pathology, please keep in
mind that much of the life process is necessarily a
violent experience, eg. childbirth, securing the meat
that most of us eat and even the hot food you put in
your mouth are all violent acts. My point here is that
maybe the solution to black on black violence in
amerikkka is RBG Luv. That is to say, proper
knowledge and cultural orientation will inform us
that we need to get RBGed Up and fight against the
causes to prevent the effect. In doing this however,
the first government we must overthrow is the government of our own
corrupt minds. Something RBG Street Scholars Think Tank is about helping
us do.

What is it with us? Why do we kill each other at a rate that's
disproportionately higher than that of other people? Sure, we've heard the
excuses before - that we're prone to crime, violent by nature, and poor and
oppressed - but what are the real causes?

Here we are, in 2006, countless articles & news reports later, and our
precious communities are still in a state of distress. It appears that the
problem of black on black crime doesn't seem to be improving, but rather
steadily getting worse by the day. But what's really going on?
It's apparent to this
observant eye that more
often than not we're acting
out the way we're
expected to act -- that is,
fulfiling a role in society
that has been decided
upon and encouraged by
people other than us. All
we need to do is look at
the television or listen to
the radio to experience the
sobering statistics or the
self-hating bullshit that
now passes as black
entertainment on the
evidently racist major networks to confirm this fact. Thuggishness and
gangsterism, misogyny, brutality and ignorance have become synonymous
with black life in the eyes of many, both inside and outside of our
communities, as a result of both our actions and of corporate Amerikkka's
sanctioning and glorification of negative imagery and behavior. Our worst
attributes are always awarded, paraded and celebrated by those whose job it
is to keep us in a state of distress. Harsh, you say? Hardly. Fear of non-
whites is big business in Amerikkka, and shows like COPS and virtually any
news broadcast aid in the manifestation of that fear and the acceptance of
its remedies - increased police presence, new prison construction and the
passage of tougher laws. Besides, do you think black life really matters to
them? That they care if we kill each other off?
Understand that our focus and priorities need to change, and that nobody
can be relied upon to care about us but us. This should be obvious to all of
us by now. Things that many of us seem too often to be concerned with
(game, pimpin', the life, etc.) are of little importance to others. So let me
say it for the record - fuck game. Do you think the bank, the phone
company or a prospective employer care about game? Care about pimpin'?
Life goes on without it. And while game may make you cute in the eyes of
shallow folks, nowadays what you know is more important than how you
look or act. Contrary to popular belief, nigga-slick is out of fashion. Only
7. RBG STOP THE VIOLENCE LESSON Page 7
through education and hard work will we move beyond simply surviving to
success.
But back to the point. While the violence we see and hear on TV, films, and
in black music remains a contributing factor that keeps us on our self-
destructive path, it is by no means the sole reason. Many of us have a pent-
up rage that easily triggers aggression -- aggression that often results from
a combustible blend of cultural and racial baggage that many of us carry.
What we need to do now is break out of the mold of acting out in ways
expected of us. Angry black men without focus aren't a threat to anyone but
themselves, and have become the targets of ridicule by those outside of our
communities. Again, who cares if we kill each other off? We must care.
It can be argued that black life is viewed by many as being worthless, and it
should come as no surprise that many studies have confirmed that the
punishment blacks receive when the victims of violent crime are white is far
more severe than if the victims are black. Add to this the lack of opportunity,
sense of deprivation, powerlessness and alienation that many of us
experience since birth and the picture becomes all-too-clear -- that society is
not set up for our benefit. We have to make our own way, and in order to
get there we must first respect ourselves and each other. Easier said than
done, you say? Why? Everything is easier when we get along, especially
since it appears that many others don't want us to. The name of the game
now is to be focused. Stay focused on not only the present, but on your
future too. How many young folks today can't envision themselves older
than 25? How many plan for the future at all?
The devaluation of black life by systematic racism and the media has
encouraged many of us to have disrespect for life and to act out our
aggressions onto others -- often with the victims being women and other
black males. When this happens, we all lose.
And what about gangs and drugs? The introduction of crack cocaine by the
CIA into our communities during the 1980's made black youth gangs bigger
and more dangerous than they had ever been before. The illicit profits of
drug trafficking provided, and continues to provide, vicious incentives for
those of us without direction, immediate opportunity or hope to murder
ourselves. In fact, much of the recent escalation in the murder rates can be
directly traced to busted drug deals, competition over markets, disputes
over turf and bruised egos.
So what must we do? We must take responsibility, first and foremost, for
both ourselves as individuals and as a collective. We must understand that
our brothers and sisters are not our enemies. Again, we have no one to look
8. RBG STOP THE VIOLENCE LESSON Page 8
out for us but us. When you see wrong, speak on it. Intervene. Reach out to
your friends and family if they are at risk, and be receptive to other people's
points of view if you are feeling like violence is your only alternative. You
might just save your life or the life of someone you know.
