Lynn's Literature: March 2009
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 14, 2009. The old Nature Vs Nurture debate. In academic circles this debate is pretty much done and dusted. The debates tend to centre around how much the degree of nature or nurture has life-long effects on individuals. So I was interested to read a passage in our recent readings, title The Parental Fallacy, the following: "But never, ever could the state of your soul be attributed to what your mother or father did to you some thirty years ago! How far does it follow you into adulthood b...

Lynn's Literature: The Power of Intermittent Reinforcement
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2009/12/power-of-intermittent-reinforcement.html
Tuesday, December 8, 2009. The Power of Intermittent Reinforcement. So, out of each scenario, which one do you think creates the strongest attachment, and which scenario creates the attachment which is the hardest and longest to break? The child soon learns this is not a place to receive their basic needs and searches elsewhere, and one would hope finds it in another care-giver or parent. But what about the parent that shows caring, love and emotional nurturance only some of the time? UnderOvr (aka The U).

Lynn's Literature: August 2009
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Poking the Elephant in the Room. I think my blog is long overdue for another post. I finished the first semester of Uni with some good results. High Distinction for Women's Studies which I absolutely loved, Distinction for Human Social Development and a Credit for Access and Equity. I enjoyed all of them but it doesn't look like Semester 2 will shape up to quite as interesting. Still, it's early yet. Men's ways of being is the Elephant in the Room. And my motto for this ye...

Lynn's Literature: Young children's programmes
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2009/12/young-childrens-programmes.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. They all turned out to be male characters. Which is a male version of Dora, and in Diego's series Dora appears as his side-kick, not as a central figure. I'm unsure if Diego appears in Dora's series as a secondary figure. Here's a run-down of some of the shows I managed to analyse:. Andy Pandy - male, adventurous and all other characters are male, except Lindy Lou who provides biscuits and Missy Hissy who is a snake. Imagination Movers - 4 male lead characters who do all the ...

Lynn's Literature: December 2008
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Well, it's almost closing on 2008 and what a fantastic year it has been. To end on a high note I have received my Uni results for 2nd semester and a distinction for each topic! I am so surprised by this, I only expected 2 distinctions at the most. So to end my first year at Uni with 7 distinctions and 1 credit is fabulous. Not only have I got a great result but I've thoroughly enjoyed it too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Lynn's Literature: Movie Review - Monsters Vs Aliens
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2009/12/movie-review-monsters-vs-aliens.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. Movie Review - Monsters Vs Aliens. I downloaded this off Foxtel the other day, and was quite disappointed with it. I knew Miss S had already seen it, she said she liked it, so I thought I'd watch it with her. After the first 20 minutes I really wanted to just switch it off, but was fascinated to see how worse it could actually get. Here's the summary of what I saw. At one stage, her giant-ness is removed from her and she once again becomes an ineffective, passive woman. But...

Lynn's Literature: June 2009
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. So, really, Why Doesn't She Leave? It's the $60,000 question, isn't it? How many times do we hear this when faced with the story of a woman who's partner treats her badly? It's something that I could say I've pretty much heard all my life, and in fact, have uttered or thought myself over the years. But more recently, I've been examining this question, giving it some critical analysis. Or, "Why does she stay? But this question is rarely posed in our conversations. We are so bus...

Lynn's Literature: May 2009
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. A Tale of Two Jokes. Well, one is not really a joke, but a story. If you want a good laugh, then read on. (I don't know who wrote it, found it on a forum post). Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:. Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with he...

Lynn's Literature: Plasma TVs and pregnancy
http://lynn0407.blogspot.com/2009/09/plasma-tvs-and-pregnancy.html
Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Plasma TVs and pregnancy. What is it with Plasma TVs and having babies? What is the correlation between them? Well, according to what seems the majority of the population, it all has to do with the Baby Bonus. How's that? I hear, and I'm so glad that you asked. Who knows how the rumour started, but from what I have witnessed, it's widely entrenched throughout our society. September 1, 2009 at 8:00 PM. Wouldnt surprise me if it was! After all, the general population accuses you...
