The relationship between sport and the media has produced and reproduced particular ideologies of American culture. These ideologies include the athletic body, gender order, and hegemonic masculinity, among others. Trujillo’s research study, “Machines, Missiles, and Men”, focuses on one of the most pertinent sports for identifying the reproduction of hegemonic masculinity with the media’s influence – American football. His inquiry asked, “How are cultural definitions of masculinity maintained and/or reproduced in television texts of professional football produced by MNF?” Three interrelated categories of images of the male athletic body were developed from the research and include:

  • The Body as a Tool: Football at Work
  • The Body as Weapon: Football as War
  • The Body as Object of Gaze: Football as Pleasure

As you read Trujillo’s research, you probably “drifted off”, like I did, by thoughts of how this model of “The Body as Tool, Weapon, and Object of Gaze” could be applied to other sports.

Well, this is your chance to do that very thing…

Apply Trujillo’s model of “The Body as Tool, Weapon, and Object of Gaze” to a specific sporting event that you are able to watch on television or the Internet this week.

Observe, analyze, and document the language used by the media/sportscasters to describe the athletes in the competition (male or female or both).

Additionally, focus on the technology or visual images presenting the athletic body to you and other viewers.

You do not need to provide your own analysis of the sporting event – your goal is to provide the detailed examples from the analysis of the sporting event that the sportscasters offer that match all 3 components of Trujillo’s Model.

Remember to cite all your references both within and at the conclusion of your document.

You may need to make some adaptations to the “model”, but follow Trujillo’s direction as best you can for your sport of choice.

The artistic piece on the right is not part of the assignment but rather just an interesting interpretation of the human body as it relates to sport.

Reminder from Week 1: For this “Application” assignment and the others that follow in this course, you be asked to apply something we have read in the course to your own work environment utilizing your own management and leadership styles. The focus is on using what we are learning about contemporary issues in the sociology of sport to assist you in your day-to-day involvement in sport management. Therefore, we will often be problem-solving textbook examples or your own real world experiences based on your readings and our discussions.

Also this is for my sports management class so can you keep it sports related. 

Also here is a link to the book

I need some assistance with these assignment. an opinion towards the ideal government Thank you in advance for the help! The essay “An Opinion towards the Ideal Government” describes what the ideal government could be since the success or the defeat of a nation depends on how it is being governed. Though there is no specific pattern or a proven theory as to what political structure is the skeleton of an ideal government. An ideal government would somewhat be patterned to the Democratic Socialism political structure. It would be more of getting the better aspects of the 2 political structures with the aim that the principles of the 2 would be intertwined to attain the success of one. The people in the community will have their share of freedom and restrictions. As justified by the golden rule, it is only the means which is good and therefore virtuous. If a particular community will be given too much freedom, there are tendencies that the government will be exploited and mocked. On the contrary, when a government becomes too authoritarian, it will lose the respect of the community because of the restrictions that are being imposed. State and economy are entities perceived to be better off separated. Monopoly in the government should be avoided. This will ensure not just the stability of the state and the economy as different entities but of the government as a whole. Friedman and Friedman expressed that, “The relation between political and economic freedom is complex and by no means unilateral”. If both divisions are being governed by one branch of governance, there is a great possibility that monopoly will occur.

A company by the name Saudi Aramco based out of Saudi Arabia is an active partner of Shell and both these companies have been progressing. Both have seen tremendous development after they became partners. Recent activities of Shell have come under the scanner because it was believed that several birds were losing their life because of the activities of the company but the company has reduced the production of products that affected the living of birds and as an inevitable result of which it is much more environment friendly company.

The company faced another big challenge in the during 1978 and 1995, polybutylene was used by the company to manufacture pipes and the same exploded one day and as a result of which many people were left homeless because of the flood caused by the pipelines. There was a lawsuit filed against the company by the people who got affected by this whole incident and the company had to shell out millions to settle this issue, the company has come a long way since then.
