Gender role models today...

Miley Cyrus is trying to get rid of her Disney image... but is she still a role model?

And is this right for Men to mimic strong females? Or is she (and he) just a pawn...

Or is this just a reflection of the postmodern society we now live in?

Answers on a postcard...!

Postmodernism - HELP!

Why not watch the Matrix - just remember - society is fragmented into many social groups. Everything is just a social construction.

Opening Ceremony - useful for understanding the changes that have taken place in Society

Something else to watch on the telly box

Teen Exorcists!!! Think Jesus in Disneyland (Lyon).

If you've got the time - why not listen to a Radio 2 debate!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03b2qtx

Jeremy Vine's show debates many different issues - this show looks at... the appropriateness of wearing the veil in public, Grand Theft Auto addicts, the reinstated officer who had sex on duty and our new series "My Country, My Music".

Is this really happening?

Is this the pressure we now put on ourselves...

What is the problem with our Education system???

Becker and labelling theory per chance?

What would happen if Britain suffered a cyber attack on the national electricity grid?

Channel 4's very dark vision of what happen in this event.
Not all social commentators agree - still a very interesting look into humanity and how we might react.

Beware - bad language and upsetting images.

Do you like MAPS?

http://twistedsifter.com/2013/08/maps-that-will-help-you-make-sense-of-the-world/

This is a wonderful visual learning tool - each map is different, some are more relevant than others, however, this will give you a bit of insight to the world!

Enjoy

Things to watch on the telly box...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b039q4ct Fab programme on the history of consummerism - the focus is shopping and how we all became so obsessed with fashion.

Bit of popular Marxism...
