How do we construct memories? Remembering engages many different areas of the brain and relates closely to emotion. But what impacts on our memories of war? How do age, gender and context affect how we recall different events? This session presented some initial findings on people's memories that have been collected on the Wellcome Collection website since the 'War and Medicine' exhibition has been open.

Our popular culture offers us endless images & messages about intima.docxkarlacauq0
Our popular culture offers us endless images & messages about intimacy, romance, and sex. These themes were present in numerous songs throughout history. How do you think that these images & messages have changed over time? And, how do you think these popular images & messages affect our own perceptions and pursuit of these things?
Today, many music videos tell a story about masculinity that equates manhood with power & domination. And often this story complements the story of femininity as passive and women as submissive. Men’s violence against women is eroticized in many music videos. For example, in the video “Eat You Alive” by Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst, the group’s lead singer ties a woman to a chair and sprays her with a hose while screaming violent threats & insults in her face! Images like this, found in music videos,
normalize
&
glamorize
sexual violence. We must ask what consequences they have for relationships between
real
men & women who grow up with these images.
We can also look at song lyrics and the messages that they might convey.
*For this assignment you should find a current song relating to anything about
Human Sexuality
and take a look at the lyrics. Use something current with in the last
5 yrs.
(
Or, definitely keep it in the last
10 yrs.)
Then, go back in time and find a song with a
similar theme
from a different era so you can make a comparison to the lyrics of both songs. This 2
nd
song
must
be from
1980 or older, 1970s, 1960s 1950s etc.
*After listening to both songs & looking at their lyrics you will do a brief write up discussing the differences, similarities and the message being conveyed in these songs. You can talk about some of the following questions. How do the lyrics reflect the era of the songs you chose? Do the lyrics reflect a specific perception about women or men? You may include a discussion about the images of the music video for the current song. How are we affected by these lyrics & images?
*Your write up
must be typed
and should be
3-4 paragraphs.
*Here is an example of this song lyrics comparison:
The Commodores’ “Brick House” (1977) and Luda’s “My Chick Bad”………2 of my favorites. Another example of this theme is “Something” by the Beatles, 1969. The theme in both of these songs is about a relationship & how special his woman/partner is to him. You can use any theme that pertains to Human Sexuality.
Another example would be the theme of abuse or the dark side of relationships, in
Love the Way You Lie, by Eminem & Rihanna.

5. Overview
Americans during the 1930s were facing many hardships during the Great Depression. They became
poor due to the banking crisis and the shortage of jobs. Many families were left homeless. Children
were starving and malnourished. Countless Americans thought that their lives were ruined forever.
The music and entertainment during this time were among the few outlets that gave people hope of
a better future.

7. Low Cost Entertainment
Even though times were hard and money was scarce, families found time to have fun
with each other, friends and neighbors. Board games such as "Monopoly" and
"Scrabble" were first sold during the 1930s. Neighbors also got together to play card
games such as Whist, Pinochle, Canasta and Bridge.
Playing cards, horseshoes, dominos, or putting together a complex puzzle with
hundreds of pieces helped families pass the time.

9. Music
The Great Depression marked a change in popular musical styles. Songwriters wrote music that
identified with the mood of the times or sought to keep people's minds off their hardships. The song,
"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" is considered the anthem of the Great Depression because of its
honest portrayal of the difficulties faced by the average American.

Somber blues and confessional ballads became very
popular during the 1930s lamenting the tough times,
but musicians such as Duke Ellington, Fletcher
Henderson, and Count Basie were still very influential
during the Great Depression with their complex and
exhilarated forms of jazz. Chasing the Depression
blues away with music was far more common than
celebrating its woes.

13. Woody Guthrie -
Influential Depression Era Musician
Woody Guthrie was born in 1912 in Okamah, Oklahoma. In 1935 he experienced
Black Sunday, the worst dust storm of the decade resulting in a "Dust Bowl" that
killed crops and devastated farms in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The Dust Bowl
greatly worsened life for people who were already suffering from the Great
Depression. Like so many others in the Dust Bowl, Guthrie was unable to make a
living. He left his wife, three children and his first band to look for work in
California. While hitchhiking he wrote folk songs about the dust bowl, migrant
workers, corrupt politicians and union organizing. His song Talking Dust Bowl
Blues (lyrics) provides a glimpse into farm life before and after the Dust Bowl.
"This Land is Your Land" is probably the best-known song written by Woody Guthrie.
"A folk song is what’s wrong and how to fix it or it could be who’s hungry and where
their mouth is or who’s out of work and where the job is or who’s broke and where
the money is or who’s carrying a gun and where the peace is."

15. Dance
● Dance
● Dance Marathons, an American phenomenon of the 1920s and 1930s, were human endurance
contests in which couples danced almost non-stop for hundreds of hours (as long as a month or
two), competing for prize money. They continued into the 1930s. They were said to mirror the
marathon of desperation Americans underwent during the Great Depression. They were also an
escape of the harsh realities of daily life.
"You can't be sad and dance at the same time."

21. Horror Movies of the 1930's
"...of all of the types of films, horror films are the greatest reflection of modern culture. The hopes and
fears of society are displayed in full motion in the horror films of the day." L. Vincent Poupard
During the Great Depression many immigrants that came to America
worried that perhaps they had made a mistake.
On the other hand, many citizens of the United States believed that
some of the problems the country was facing were directly caused
by the large number of people from "The Old Country" immigrating
into the US.
Universal Studios produced numerous horror films during the
1930's, believing that watching them would provide the masses a
way to release their inner fears.
Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), The Mummy (1932), The
Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Dracula's Daughter (1936), Son of
Frankenstein (1939), and The Wolf Man (1941) all had common
themes.
Providing more than a simple distraction from the horrors of life
during the Depression era, these movies reflect the hopes, dreams,
and fears of Americans during this most difficult time.
The monster that reinforced the fears of a generation.

23. if more of this text is used, must be paraphrased and condensed.
Perhaps a trailer of a horror film (or 2)can be embedded? -BS
All of the creatures from these horror movies have links to, "The Old Country." For those people that argued that the
perils of the day came from the immigrants, they had an argument that was displayed in front of them on the screen. The
creatures that these films portrayed reinforced the fears that these Americans had.
Dracula immigrated to America from Western Europe. The Wolf Man had a curse that was believed to be common in
Western Europe. The Mummy was a curse that was born in Northern Africa. Frankenstein was a monster that was created
from a madness that was in central Europe.
The immigrants who had come to this country were able to relate to these horror movies since they were based on old
beliefs and superstitions that they had grown up with. These films gave them a reminder of where it was that they had
come from, and where many of them longed to return. ------Not sure I agree with the content that follows.... thoughts? ---
Maybe the last paragraph
For some, this reminder of the fears and superstitions that had been left behind made them realize that it was good that they had
come to America. These horror films made them understand why they had left Europe in the first place, and come to a land that
was more realistic and reasonable.
For some people in the United States, these horror films brought another message. Many people fear that one day they will come to
the realization that their parents were right about something. Finding out that the old superstitions that were held by their parents
could be a major wakeup call for many people. These horror movies reinforced this fear.
When Universal Studios first created these movies, they had no idea how many levels of messages were encased in these movies.
They wanted to make horror films that were a distraction for people from the real life horrors of the day. They never realized that
they were sending different messages to different people.
That, though, is what many horror movies do. They speak to what is going on in the world at the time. By relating to what people
fear, horror films also relate to their dreams and hopes. These relations are what can tell us a lot about the people that are
watching these horror films at the time. These relations explain history in a completely different capacity then we are used to.

29. The Dependence on Radio
Radio was the nation's first mass medium.
It linked the country and ended the isolation of rural residents.
Radio was so important that the 1930 Census asked if the
household had a radio.
Radio provided free entertainment and connected country
people to world events.
If used, needs para-phrasing/re-writing

During the Great Depression, the significance of the
radio for rural families grew despite the lean
conditions. Families struck with poverty would
rather choose to give up an icebox or a bed before
they would part with their radios. The radios
symbolized lifelines to the outside world.

35. Will need to review Mary's content to add specifics
to these.
Books/Novels - Grapes of Wrath,
Popular games (horseshoes, Board Games, dominos, Baseball, etc.? )
Magazines -
While the 1930s were difficult for many businesses, magazine publishing flourished! From the 'movie star rags' to the more
respectable editorial magazines, the wide range of content appealed to Americans who wanted to read about or
distract themselves from their current hardships. Already established, pre-depression era magazines such as the
Saturday Evening Post, Time, and Reader's Digest continued to sell well. Many others with very focused content, such
as Modern Screen and Fortune were launched and succeeded as well. Though the Depression wouldn't appear to be
the best time to start a new business, many magazines that originated during that time have lasted.
