That Girl
Here is another old television program that I remember watching when I was younger 'That Girl' starring Marlo Thomas the daughter of Danny Thomas. Marlo Thomas played the character of Ann Marie a want-to-be actress who moved to New York City to pursue this dream. There were many situations in this show that could still be issues even today. For instance, parents who want the best for their children, but not sure if the children are ready as in Ann's father does not think she's ready. 'That Girl' is really a show for all decades even though it is set in the late sixties and very early seventies.

Dobie Gillis
There is another old television program from the 1950's named 'Dobie Gillis' that I found on the ROKU channel. This is the story of a teenager who is always trying to figure out what life is all about from his friends and his parents. Dobie spends a lot of time just thinking for in a way this show let the viewers learn to think before you leap into various solutions to any issue or problem that you may have in your life as a human. The only issue I had about this show is that the actors seemed a little old to be playing these characters even back then, but really they would fit into today's world believe or not.

The Doris Day Show
Does anyone remember the old situation comedy 'The Doris Day Show'? I found this old show on the ROKU channel. I kind of remember this show when I was much younger in the early seventies. Doris lives on a farm still in the second season but has a job as a secretary for a magazine in San Francisco. Much like the sitcoms of today, but not as mention of various kinds of relationships as like today if you know what I mean. This old situation comedy is or was more on how to help the kids or whomever solve their issues in a family manner and no tricks.

Fetish or Masked Violence?. Content Warning.
Abstract Asian fetishization in Western culture is a direct result of White sexual imperialism and the resultant media portrayals of Asian women as hypersexual and submissive beings. Hypersexual portrayals of Asian women persist in modern media depictions and pornography, causing these women both psychological and physical harm. Solutions to this issue should offer Asian women psychological support, empower Asian women to share their experiences, and press the education system to provide students with an all-encompassing retelling of imperialism and its consequences.

Writing a Manuscript
Writing a manuscript or the manuscript is all about the writing. In the writing we must make sure that we have done the research and taken the notes to begin to write that first draft to that final draft. We have to decide do we want to write fiction or nonfiction. Do we want to go the old-fashioned way and use notebooks and a typewriter or use the computer. These are some of the very basic things we must decide. I like using pen and paper to start. As writers we must follow all the necessary grammar rules as well as the necessary punctuation rules that will allow our writing to be coherent to the readers.

How Big is The Universe?
How Enormous is The Universe? The universe, a broad and puzzling element, extends a long ways past the constraints of human insight and understanding. Its limitlessness and intricacy have charmed space experts, physicists, and rationalists for quite a long time. While we have taken huge steps in understanding the universe, the genuine size of the universe stays quite possibly of the most significant inquiry in science.
