Grey's Anatomy


 One of my pop culture obsessions is Grey's Anatomy. Grey's Anatomy is a hospital show that follows Dr. Meredith Grey throughout her life in and out of the hospital she works at. While I enjoy the show for a multitude of reasons, one of my favorite aspects of the show is within the hidden meanings. Grey's Anatomy is the only show to have the longest running LGBTQ+ character on tv in Callie Torres who appeared in over 200 episodes. Grey's Anatomy has also featured multiple LGBTQ+ characters including transgender characters (doctors and patients) as well as characters who wear hijabs for their faith. Aside from characters, Grey's anatomy has touched on a lot of mental health issues including but not limiting to, substance abuse, PTSD, depression, crisis of faith, etc. The show does a great job with diversifying their cast and the storylines of the show to a greater depth than anything we may have seen before.

    I also really love this show! I think one of the main reasons that I love this show so much is because of exactly what you said, there is someone for almost everyone to relate to. This show provides the type of role models that all different people can look up to, and I feel like that is very rare, and is really amazing to see.

    I haven't yet watched this show, but I have seen shorts for it and it seems really interesting! I think its great how much it has done for media and women everywhere. I get a little queasy with medical shows but I have loved what clips I have seen! I should really give it a shot.

    I absolutely LOVE this show, Meredith is such a strong protagonist for the plot. Especially because men are most likely seen as doctors and surgeons while people assume women to be nurses or aids. There is so many interesting ways you could integrate this show with the things we learned in class.

    A couple of years ago I watched majority of this show and really liked it. Like you said the amount of representation and awareness the show brings allows a lot of people to relate to it personally

    I love Greys I have since i watched it the first time! I do like how the show has many different aspects of life and work so they can have work/life balance with events that could happen in someone's life who could potentially want to work in that environment. Women especially in this show go through a lot such as pregnancy, infant loss, divorce, death of family/spouse, custody battles.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
