Love for the sweetheart, love for spouse, love for parents, love for siblings, love for friends, love for God, love for nature, love for country and above all, love for life. The poems of BhupatiDas depict various visuals of life and carry soft notes of love-waves. His stark simplicity, fluidity in tone and felicity with words come out vividly in these poems. After a long journey of mythically exploring the love and beauty of life, Bhupati has reached a point where his writings reveal a profound understanding of life and human relationships.

Описание: Current Controversies in Sports, Media, and Society sheds light on how various issues, including racism, sexism, ageism, religion, politics, and more, are depicted in sports media. The text also demonstrates how sports media representation can influence both American culture and the individuals who consume said media. The book begins with an overview of the history of sports in American culture, the interplay of race, gender, media, and sport, and why we study sport and its role in society. Later chapters examine mass communication theories and approaches used in sports reporting and the obstacles athletes of color and women face in the world of sports media, including lack of representation, unequal media coverage, and the battle against prevalent social stereotypes. Readers learn the ways in which sports media influences our understanding of biological versus environmental influences on athletic performance, sexual orientation, and patriotism. Finally, the book analyzes modern sports journalism, exploring the causes and consequences of a lack of diversity in media and reporting. Written to spark discussion on ethics in sports journalism, media representation, and the role sports play in American culture, Current Controversies in Sports, Media, and Society is well suited for courses in mass communication, sports journalism, the sociology of sport, and race and gender studies.
