academic research

My research is about the gender and racial stereotypes depicted in children media. I will be analyzing the new Disney princess movie The Princess and the Frog and other Disney movies as well as scientific researches done on this topic.

internet

After counting the list of social networking sites from Wikipedia, there was about 180 networking sites available in the internet. Most of the sites listed are pretty new to my knowledge except for Xanga, twitter, tumblr, and facebook. Other social networking site that aren't listed in Wikipedia include Myspace. One social networking site that I have never heard of is IRC-Galleria. Based on Wikipedia, IRC-Galleria was found by Tomi Lintelä and it is the largest social networking site from Finland.Users must put at least one photo in IRC-Galleria to become a member for this site. Facebook is the social networking site I used on a daily bases. I used facebook as a way for me to connect with my childhood friends, high school friends, and current friends. Everyday I check my facebook for comments and messages, I also enjoy looking at my friend's pictures that they uploaded so that we can still be connected even though she/he might live in a different city. So far facebook hasn't gotten me in trouble and I hope to prevent any in the near future. I just have to remember to avoid adding people I don't know for 100%.

movies

My favorite movie of year 2009 is definitely UP. Up was overall graphically amazing. It was an uplifting film that contained adventure , humor, and drama. When I saw this movie with my sister , we both cried and laughed throughout the movie.I thought it was clever for Pixar and Disney to use two completely opposite characters and create a happy ending where these two characters learn a lesson about life.



My all time favorite movie is cinderella man . I think Cinderella Man was compelling and inspirational. The actors in this classic film had great acting skills. Whenever Jim Braddock fought in the ring to put bread on the table it made me cry.
