- Music/sound effects and villain characters were seen as the scariest elements in horror films.
- Respondents enjoyed watching films via DVD/Blu-Ray and the internet rather than reading magazines.

- Suspense, killers/murders, and a lot of blood were expected elements in a horror film.
This document contains an 8 question survey for a music magazine to gather information about readers such as their gender, age, favorite music genres and artists. It asks if they find album reviews and what content they expect to be featured in the magazine. The questions are multiple choice or short answer to learn reader demographics and preferences.
It has been a year marked by the formal launch of the Sustainable Development Goals, humanitarian crises, and political change.
But, in all of that, the role of business in addressing development challenges, from agriculture to humanitarian aid, and from health to climate, has continued to grow and gain recognition.
Here’s a look at some of the top Devex Impact articles from the past year.
This document discusses gender and gender stereotypes. It defines gender as the attitudes, feelings, and behaviors associated with a person's biological sex in a given culture. Gender stereotypes are beliefs about traits of females and males. The document presents common female stereotypes such as women being nurturing and weak, and male stereotypes like men being aggressive and strong. It examines the effects of gender stereotypes, such as impaired performance and increased stress. The conclusion is that stereotypes should change as relations between groups change over time.
The World Bank's global practices and climate change cross cutting solutionsDevex
The document provides information on the World Bank Group's Energy & Extractives Global Practice. It discusses how providing reliable electricity and managing extractive industries is important for poverty reduction, shared prosperity, sustainability, and climate change goals. The Global Practice delivers comprehensive energy and extractives solutions through financing of around $7 billion annually, technical assistance, knowledge work, and partnerships with IFC and MIGA. Its priorities include achieving universal energy access, shifting to more sustainable energy systems, and improving the investment climate for energy.
This document discusses gender representation in music videos from feminist and post-feminist perspectives. It outlines research findings that music videos typically portray males as dominant and competent while females are more sexualized. Feminism critiques this as oppressive, viewing women as sex objects for the male gaze. Post-feminism sees some modern portrayals as empowering by showing women enjoying their sexuality and being independent and confident. The document uses the music video for "Buttons" by The Pussycat Dolls and Snoop Dogg to illustrate feminist and post-feminist analyses of gender representation.
Representation of gender and stereotypesLiz Davies
This document discusses representation of gender and stereotypes. It begins with an activity asking students to discuss their ideal man or woman, and what values this suggests. It then defines sex and gender, and discusses how gender is a social construct involving roles and behaviors considered appropriate for men and women. The document examines how magazines portray ideals of masculinity and femininity, focusing on traits like strength and independence for men, and beauty, relationships and emotions for women. It also discusses stereotypes, their changing nature, and how society treats those who don't conform to norms. Students are asked to consider how media representations reinforce or challenge stereotypes.

The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers analyzed data from dozens of countries and found that lockdowns led to an average decline of nearly 30% in nitrogen dioxide levels over cities. However, they also observed that this improvement was temporary and air pollution rebounded once lockdowns were lifted as vehicle traffic increased again. Overall, the study highlights how lockdowns can provide short-term benefits to air quality but sustained changes are needed to maintain those improvements.
