This document discusses how media promotes heteronormativity and can discriminate against LGBTQ individuals. It provides context on key concepts like heterosexuality, normativity, and Gibbard's views on expressivism and rationality. The document argues that media expresses heteronormative values by primarily showing heterosexual relationships. This can make LGBTQ people feel excluded and hurt. While media's portrayal of heteronormative values may be rational from its own perspective, it ignores the feelings of LGBTQ individuals and is therefore irrational according to Gibbard's views. The document concludes by advocating for more inclusion of LGBTQ relationships and identities in media.

G. Grant: Peer # 1
· The agents of socialization are family, education, peer groups, religion, workplace, mass media, and organized activities. All of these agents may not be so obvious to everyone but largely amongst the majority of us these are very obvious social agents in our society. Each agent directly affects every individual in it's own way. Family would be the first and one of the most important factors considering the fact that this is the first type of social exposure we get as children and in our youth. At school, our friends and teachers and even the staff begin to influence our attitudes and behaviors. I would include organized activities in school as well. There is so much pressure on us as children to do what it is right in the eyes of our surrounding peers or if our teacher says it is right or wrong then this is our new conformed conception. Religion could be considered an extention of our upbringing if anyone were raised in a religious household. Historically religion has been known for it's effects on the views we develop of ourselves and of others. Throughout the history of religion, one could also say that it has been an even greater social agent than family because of the impact it has on culture and the lifestyles people tend to practice more than others. In the workplace there is so much that we see that might contradict our childhood or even opinions we've developed on our own. People tend to conform easily to different ways of behaving or how they conduct themselves. Co-workers can affect our perspectives just as much as a friend or family member. I'd rather not get started on mass media because we have clearly seen the damage being done over the years from this. The media contradicts everyone's views and opinions. No one ever really knows what to believe when it comes to media outlets. It is true, however, that even as kids we were influenced by what we saw or heard on television. Through shows, movies and even cartoons, patterns and habits have been developed or learned. I've personally wit.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. It is my view that gender is culturally formed, but it
is also a domain of agency or freedom and that it
is most important to resist the violence that is
imposed by ideal gender norms, especially
against those who are gender different , who are
nonconforming in their gender presentation
- Judith Butler
3. Introduction
Heteronormativity is a norm about heterosexual relationship
and showing what is the accepted relationship.
One source of norm in our life is coming from the things that
we can see and one of that is with the use of media.
Media is one of the many ways to advertise such advocacy
or to make norms.
According to Gibbard, Norms can be use to judge moral
actions and that is Normative-judgment.
Norm equals rationality.
4. Heteronormativity
HETEROSEXUAL
- sexually attracted to people of the opposite sex.
- A person who is attracted to the opposite gender.
Heterosexuality is the most common sexual orientation in the
world (but by no means "normal". It is simply more common
than some variations of human sexuality).
- People that are both romantically and sexually attracted to
the opposite gender. So females are attracted to
males/males are attracted to females.
6. Heteronormativity
HETERONORMATIVITY
- is the belief that people fall into distinct and complementary
genders (man and woman) with natural roles in life. It
assumes that heterosexuality is the only sexual orientation or
only norm, and states that sexual and marital relations are
most (or only) fitting between people of opposite sexes.
7. GIBBARD’S NORM-
EXPRESSIVISM
EXPRESSIVISM
- Expressivism is an act of showing an emotional expression
with approval or disapproval, regarding an action whether it is
moral or not.
- The difference of Expressivism and subjectivism is:
- Subjectivism, stating your emotion (I’m Bored)
- Expressivism, expressing your thoughts (Tapping ones finger in
the table to show his boredom)
8. GIBBARD’S NORM-
EXPRESSIVISM
RATIONALITY
- To call something rational is not in the strict sense, to attribute a
property to it. It is to do something else; to express a state of mind (
Lesson from Gibbard)
- For Gibbard rationality is something that is normative, it is rational
when it is a norm
- Norm for Gibbard follows rationality, this is a rational judgment that
comes from within us that is being either showed or learned.
- Rationality in general sense acts or doings that are accepted by
everyone in the society or actions that are not considered to be
irrational.
- “to think something rational is to accept norms that permit it” -
Gibbard
9. GIBBARD’S NORM-
EXPRESSIVISM
MORALITY
- For him morality depends on how one understand the
situation and how he applies his social norm he have, but
judging an act as moral, it should be rational.
- When judging an act whether it is wrong one should look on
the side of the first person and the third person.
1st person: guilt, remorse and shame
3rd person: anger, blame, condemnation
basically the moral judgment can be done iff the first person
would feel any guilt and the third person would feel any anger.
for that, moral judgment can be done if and only if one knows
the side of both parties.
10. GIBBARD’S NORM-
EXPRESSIVISM
NORMATIVE JUDGMENT
- This type of judgment is used by Gibbard in order to solve
the frege-geache problem.
- Frege-geache problem is stating that not all emotional
expressions is stating a approval or disapproval
- Normative judgment might be complex because norms can
be coming from different types of people with a different norm
within the society they belong.
- Since normative judgment shows approval or disapproval this
judgment can be credible to state if an action is moral or not.
11. NORM-EXPRESSIVISM ON
HETERONORMATIVITY ON MEDIA AS
DISCRIMINATION ON LGBTQ
Heteronormativity on Media
- Media plays a major role on making a social norm and by
those norms that the media made, there are group of people
that are not being please about it.
- There are common themes of movies or movie series that
are being aired in the television, either action/drama or
romantic/comedy or action/drama/comedy/romantic.
- Commonly the media is showing heterosexual partnership
especially when the theme of the movie series is romantic
relationship.
- True that there is a heteronormativity on Media for the record
that most of all the TV series contains partnership of Male
and Female alone.
12. NORM-EXPRESSIVISM ON
HETERONORMATIVITY ON MEDIA AS
DISCRIMINATION ON LGBTQ
Expressivism on Media
- Media is doing an expressivistic act and that is showing an
action whether it is wrong or right.
- Whether an action is moral or immoral.
- We cannot deny that anything if not everything that is being
showed in the media has a director and the director is
expressing its emotion on the series or commercials he is
making.
- Directors are inspired by their thoughts and by their
normative ideas and they use media to show the people what
they have on their mind.
13. NORM-EXPRESSIVISM ON
HETERONORMATIVITY ON MEDIA AS
DISCRIMINATION ON LGBTQ
Rationality and Irrationality of Media
- Media becomes rational because it is showing normative
facts and normative ideas.
- Media becomes irrational because some of the normative
facts and normative ideas that are being showed is not
accepted by all and some are being hurt.
- Not everything that is being showed in the media is right for
all the people some are being hurt on what is being flashed in
the media.
- Accepting the fact that media is filtering the things that being
showed and it has its own biases.
14. NORM-EXPRESSIVISM ON
HETERONORMATIVITY ON MEDIA AS
DISCRIMINATION ON LGBTQ
Media as form of Discrimination
- Media is doing a discrimination on LGBTQ in terms of what
is being showed in it.
- It is very rare to see a movie series or a commercial with a
theme of homosexuality or about LGBTQ.
- Media, is very strategic on doing their commercials and
movie series.
- Can you feel what LGBTQ can feel when they only see
heterosexual love in the media when they are not included on
that society?
15. NORM-EXPRESSIVISM ON
HETERONORMATIVITY ON MEDIA AS
DISCRIMINATION ON LGBTQ
Media as form of Discrimination
- Media once did showed a Filipino gaylove themed movie
series entitled “ My husband’s lover” and one Movie entitled
“That thing called Tanga na”
- Media might be un-intentionally discriminating LGBTQ, but
we cannot deny that they are already aware that LGBTQ is
already a big society that deserves Media promotion.
- Because of media already made a norm about heterosexual
love they cannot show any forms of love aside on what the
norms they have done.
16.
17. NORM-EXPRESSIVISM ON
HETERONORMATIVITY ON MEDIA AS
DISCRIMINATION ON LGBTQ
MEDIA as “I” LGBTQ as “THEM”
- for media what it is doing is rational because it does not feel
any remorse or guilt on what it is being showed in the tele-
viewers when in fact there are people who are offended on
some of the things that are being showed in the media.
- Media as I because it is the one that is doing a strategic
discrimination.
- LGBTQ as them because they are the one that are being
affected by the doings of the I.
- Media don’t feel what LGBTQ feels when they just see
heterosexual love, or a cheesy gay love moment but in the
end they don’t last.
- Media as irrational, because there are people who are getting
angry on it, according to Gibbard if an action is not wrong
then both person would not feel any guilt or anger.

DISCRIMINATION ON LGBTQ
Examples of Heteronormativity on Media
- These Videos will going to show heteronormativity on Media.
- Also videos that what if media had been shown long time
before to build a homonormativity.
19. Gibbard’s Norm-
Expressivism:Heteronormativity
on Media as Discrimination on LGBTQ
There are so many ways to express such emotions or approval
and disapproval this may come from our belief, taught,
showed, acquired, learned and etc.
There are so many instruments for us to use to express what
we believe and one of that is the media, but we should always
be responsible on what we express.
Being considerate to the feelings of the others is the most
rational thing to do ( Ian Bravo)
LGBTQ might have a different kinds of norm but since they
belong to this life that we are living then they deserve a rational
treatment.
