Compare and contrast The Andy Griffith Show and I Love Lucy.

This assignment is based on a careful and thorough reading of material in Chapters 1-2 in Joseph Corn’s The Winged Gospel and Courtwright, Sky as Frontier: Adventure, Aviation, and Empire, chapters 1-4 (additional chapters in later assignments).

For this assignment you will write two five-page essays. Each essay will be worth 50 points.

Winged Gospel is an example of what is often being called “the new aviation history.” Traditional aviation history focused primarily on planes, pilots, and, to a less extent, aircraft designers or entrepreneurs. It was very “internalist” in that it focused on the “thing” or the “person” without placing the “thing” or the “person” within the larger context of American history. In The Winged Gospel, Corn examines the social and cultural responses to the airplane in the United States, focusing on the period from 1908 to 1950. Sky as Frontier is also part of the “new aviation history.” Courwright’s work draws on one of the most powerful interpretative themes in American history, the frontier, and applies it in a very systematic and sophisticated way to the history of the commercial aviation industry. It also briefly explores how well the “frontier typology” can be applied to the history of space exploration (where space has been described as “the final frontier.) The idea of “frontier” has been an important one in the history of aviation to the present: Boeing recently had as it corporate motto “always new frontiers.” Published in 2005, this book, like Corn’s, is widely cited by other scholars in the field.

Essay One: (based on Corn) Write an essay in which you describe the response of the US public to the invention of the airplane and then explain three beliefs about airplanes and aviation that became part of what Corn called “The Winged Gospel.”

Essay Two: (based on Courtwright) Write an essay in which you explain the two types of frontiers Courtwright argues were both part of the US frontier experience and the development of aviation in the US and then demonstrate how aviation fit one of those frontier types almost exclusively through the mid-1920s.

(I am a man.) just make a story 🙂
In this posting, we are going to examine how we look (and think) about bodies, specifically women’s bodies. Though males participate in beauty ideals and disciplinary “beauty” practices, women are more objectified in our culture and held up to beauty standards much more strictly than males so we are focusing more on the female form here. I would like for you to do either of the following:

A. Interview a woman about her body

B. If you are female, answer questions about your own body image (if you are not comfortable talking about yourself, then please interview another woman).

You will then share your information in our discussion posting. Using Miss Representation as your guide and the essays, you are to reflect on the way images of age, race and gender in the media are reflected in what these women (or yourself) say. Some questions to consider for the interview and subsequent discussion:

Do (you) women have a beauty ideal? What kind of disciplinary beauty practices do (you) women participate in? How does fashion operate in women’s lives? What happens if women ignore fashion? What is the relationship between fashion and gender? Do (you) women see their bodies as sources as despair or empowerment? Is there a part of (your) her body that (you) she has a problem with and would like to change? How do (you) women actively challenge or contribute to popular ideas of beauty (do they adhere to a certain standard)? What do (you) women believe their bodies say about themselves? Do (you) they want to change their bodies? Do (you) they want to change the message that they may receive? How important is (your) the woman’s mobility and/or disability to her understanding of herself? How might (you) women resist these “beauty” ideals?
