This is the grinning thug who avoided jail despite being filmed beating a defenceless dog 27 times with a hose from a vacuum cleaner.
Council cleaner Richard Stewart, 36, stood over Peggy - his three-year-old American bulldog - and set about her with the attachment after the animal accidentally soiled the living room carpet.
A friend filmed Stewart, of Middleton, Greater Manchester, on his mobile phone as the thug repeatedly beat the animal about the head and back as she yelped in pain and cowered by a door.

this is an example of class because it shows someone who is obviously working class and they show him looking like a thug and it shows negative image of him in like scruffy clothes and videos of him being abusive the reason this is an example of class is because a upper class person wouldn't do anything like this where as a working class person will be more likely to do that and it is underpinned by giving negative views of him all the time

Jailed: Jennifer Philp-Parsons was jailed for two-and-a-half years after sleeping with two teenage boys
A 45-year-old music teacher has been jailed for two-and-a-half years after having sex with two teenage pupils in the space of an hour at a house party.
Jennifer Philp-Parsons, 45, groomed the two 16-year-old boys before inviting them to parties at her house, where she plied them with alcohol and had sex with them.
Philp-Parsons had sex with one of the boys while her husband Jake was asleep upstairs and slept with both boys within the space of an hour on one occasion.
However, her husband and their three children today supported Philp-Parsons in court, even writing a letter in support of her which was handed to the judge.
Branding the former head of music at an east Devon college a 'sordid adulteress', Judge Francis Gilbert QC said: 'The details reveal very serious offences involving you seducing two of the students in your school in your own home for your own sexual gratification.
'You have left a trail of destruction and significant distress for a number of people.'
She was jailed for 30 months after admitting three counts of sexual activity with a male aged between 13 and 17 while in a position of trust.
Exeter Crown Court heard how Philp-Parsons became the pupils' favourite teacher after befriending them during lessons.
She provided them with a kettle and a toaster, making her classroom into a common room.
After gaining their trust she started to host house parties, where she would invite pupils and provide alcohol for them to drink.
The court heard that it was during one of the house parties at her home in Exmouth, Devon, in May that she first slept with a pupil.

this is an example of gender because the it makes such big news that a female teacher has sex with male students because if it was the other way around then the news story wouldn't be as big this is supported by like saying abput things she has done an it provides a negative view of her

GOP Lawmakers Introduce Disgusting Bill That Would Allow Religious Groups to Discriminate Against Gays




Earlier today, a group of Republican congressmen led by Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) introduced the 'Marriage and Religious Freedom Act' which would “protect freedom of conscience for those who believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”
The Washington Post reports:Labrador
The bill drafted by Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) is a "narrowly-tailored piece of legislation" that would protect groups "from discrimination by the federal government," he said in an interview this week.
Labrador said he began drafting his proposal partly out of fear that the IRS and other federal agencies might unfairly target groups that oppose same-sex marriage after the Supreme Court struck down a federal law barring gay couples from obtaining federal benefit this summer.
After the court's decision, "there were a lot of ideas about what to do," Labrador said. "Some people looked at overturning it, or doing a constitutional amendment. I looked at the immediate need, which is the protection of religious institutions and churches, so that they can continue practicing their religion as they see fit."
The Human Rights Campaign reports that it "permits federal workers, as well as recipients of federal grants and contracts, to refuse to serve married same-sex couples based on their personal religious beliefs about marriage. It also gives anyone the right to sue the federal government for monetary damages if he or she believes the federal government has discriminated against them based on their religious convictions regarding marriage for same-sex couples."
They offer a few examples:
If passed, the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act would permit a federal worker processing tax returns, approving visa applications or reviewing Social Security applications to walk away from their responsibilities whenever a same-sex couple's paperwork appeared on his or her desk. It would also allow a federally-funded homeless shelter or substance abuse treatment program to turn away LGBT people. Despite the cosponsors claims, there is no evidence that federal programs have or would discriminate against individuals because of their religious beliefs about marriage. Protections against discrimination based on religious belief are explicitly and robustly provided under the First Amendment and federal nondiscrimination statutes.
this artical shows sexuality as a probelem in socioty and how they are treated diffrently and how people are going to judge them this shows a negative responce on how sexuality is treated diffrently in socioty and how gays are judged diffrent in socioty because religions and people want to discriminate against people who are of a diffrent sexuality and the media producers are trying tto show that it is notg acseptable for a negative atatude towards discrimination against sexuality

The Ring [trailer] (2002)




the ring is a film that is intended for a audience of 18 - 40 because at this age most people are going watching scary films and what they expect from the film. the gratification that the use is trying to scare the audience but due to the cultivation theory that we gradually become used to the horror of horror films so they have tried to change it up from normal horror films by making it more psychological than the normal horror films which makes it more targeted at people who will be able to get taken in by the film and have a in depth understanding of the film
audience task

toy story



toy storys intended audience is for someone who is aged between 6 - 12 because it is very child based and focused on what is happening in a child's life and what their toys do when they are not around. the gratification that the program meets is the focus on child's toys lives and what they get up to and how they stay hidden and it shows and give kids ideas as to what their toys will be up to. this is also gratification because it involves things that all children have and so they can relate to them directly and target them as the intended audience . the program is constructed by showing that the child is the main target for the audience and what they are going to be thinking and what they are doing at that age.
