ABOUT | Culture Characteristics

Welcome to RissiWrites.com aka Culture Characteristics.

Starting in 2011, through the years this space has been many things and seen many “faces,” but through it all, one thing we remain is a space to share what we’re writing and review what we’re watching.

If you’d like to know a little more about this blog, then we hope this page will help introduce you to us and give you a better idea of what you’ll find here.

We believe in storytelling and the impact it can have on a person and culture. While there has also been change in storytelling and conversation about what that change should look like, we continue to try to look at the positive side of the “art” of storytelling and what influence it has on culture.

The romances of Margaret Hale and John Thornton as well as Jamie Reagan and Eddie Jenko are stories we love, but a solid mystery story also intrigues us. We believe that women are heroines capable of many great things. We also love fairytales, and seeing a good guy rescue the heroine. We believe that men and woman both have unique and wonderful and important strengths that complement each other which shouldn’t be depicted in culture or storytelling at the expense of weakening the other.

This space looks at and features stories from all different genres, and from different mediums.

Some of our favorite cultural topics or mediums to write about include:

Conversation about Pop Culture

Memorable Moments between Favorite Film and TV Couples

Period Dramas

On RissiWrites.com, you’ll find the following content plus more

Book Reviews everything from inspirational titles to secular fiction

Conversation which includes writeups on interesting stories like Emily Blunt’s thoughts on female characters or an Opinion on the Barbie film

Film and TV Reviews including popular blockbusters and indie titles you may not normally hear about

Lists including character lists (like best characters in politics or best roommates) and film lists

Period Drama which is mostly reviews of the popular and indie titles we see, but can include news about upcoming titles

Pop Culture when each week we cover the headline stories in the sphere

This is an overview of what you’ll see here. We invite you to stay a while, and hope you enjoy our content.
