The decreasing domestic demand was a result of underground TV market being run by grey marketers who were being benefitted from duty free import and ...

In her article The Oppositional Gaze

Bell Hooks introduces to her readers that a certain sort of look, the “oppositional gaze” has been responsible for many children being punished by their parents because this gaze was see as “confrontational, as gestures of resistance, challenges to authority” (Hooks, 115). Her paper “The Oppositional Gaze” is about many different gazes, the power each is perceived to have, and how a minority group, black female spectators, deals with this issue. Her overall point deals with the marginalization of black women not just in the society but also in the entertainment industry. The larger context in relation to the class is ...

I chose to watch episodes of Law and Order: SVU because they were readily available on Hulu. Watching the episodes I noticed that the violence portrayed on primetime TV crime shows can vary depending on current issues in society. Some of the episodes also depend on crimes committed in popular culture like the elevator fight between rapper Jay-Z and Beyonce’s sister Solange. The producers changed the scenario into a fight between an athlete and a woman accusing the athlete of rape; taking the idea of the scenario, the producers were able to expand on the storyline of rape and how ...

An agent of socialization is one which affects the individual and society as a whole. There are many agents of civilization seen today but a few are very important because of their profound impact on society. One of the most outstanding ones is the mass media. Mass media is very wide but narrowing down to television, we can attest to the fact that television has been a major form of popular culture that attracts millions of people across the globe.

Violence and Sex in Media and Pop Culture

Media and pop culture are full of sex and violence. It is impossible to turn on any television show, radio station, or video game without being confronted by something sexual or violent. While adults who have a different view of the world may be able to process these images more maturely, what is the impact that they have on teenagers? Are teenagers capable of viewing this risky behavior several times a day in the context of its being “cool” without it impacting their behavior, their interactions, or their future? Multiple studies suggest no, it cannot. Teenagers are incapable of taking in ...

1. The author uses the gestures and dialogue of Mrs. LeSane, Mr. Gunderson and the other adults in the story to help us understand their characteristics and personalities. For example, Mrs. LeSane did not have much to say but she was very sensitive to the needs of the little girl. A woman who was chatty and talking all the time would not seem sensitive at all. Mrs. LeSane did not need many words for Lynda to know that her teacher was “very happy” to see her. When Mr. Gunderson, the janitor “walked across the playfield” his large number of ...

Striking down the rule is a double sided affair based on the impact the issue brings to the society. On one side, it might seem to neglect the minorities but it is also a way increasing efficiency in the broadcasting industry. The affirmative action presented before puts pressure on employees to employ women and the minority regardless of the qualification threshold required. (Mills, 2004) had signaled that this rule was unconstitutional. According to him, making it an obligation to employ the minorities would diminish the prospects of the broadcasting industry.

I agree with Druick conclusions. This is because the clips have indicated clearly that puppets are used as a representation of humans. The puppets are then used to criticize television and its potential to be a major source of information and knowledge to public. This is one of the conclusions, which was reached by Druick. On the same note, Jason Mittell was able to associate animation of various series, for example The Simpsons, which focuses on lampooning of news itself and newsreader instead of focusing on commenting on real-world news stories (Druick, n.d).

Moreover, Druick concluded that television shows tend to ...

According to Palatz, there are four main types of political humor. The first type is supportive humor. This is humor that first gathers the information, facts and opinions that most of the people favor. The opposite of this is subversive humor. Subversive humor is the humor that intends to challenge the facts that are held by the people. It can be used by politicians to challenge the current government. It ignores the opinions of the others. Benign humor is a type of political humor that intends to pass information indirectly. It is not mainly meant to make people laugh but ...

The nature of acting means that actors are a chameleon - they disappear into a role, oftentimes playing a character who is totally unlike themselves. However, sometimes this means it can be very hard to separate the man from the role - we cannot see the man as anything but who he plays on TV. One substantial example is the actor Robert Knepper, who played "T-Bag" on Prison Break, and subsequent bad-guy creeps in shows like Breakout Kings and Stargate Universe. All of his major performances seem to be of morally unscrupulous, unforgivable villains, all with nefarious motives and unpredictable tempers.

However, ...

Delivering customer service is a very crucial part of every business. A lot of elements have to be considered in order to ensure that all customers are satisfied with service of products that they have paid for. All customers expect to get the best value for their money, in fact they always asked for something they can get in exchange for their hard earned money. Reasonable enough because consumers are the ones that keep the business to grow and when a customer is not satisfied enough with the service they tend to find someone else that can match their expectations.

Precisely, in scrutinizing Dr Drew’s ‘16 and Pregnant’ TV reality show in reference to episodes with Amber and her boy friend Gary, various levels as well as states of reality have been observed. In one particular episode Dr Drew shows where Amber realizes the support of her mom even though she moved out and was living some where else.It means that if a woman becomes pregnant at 16 it should be interpreted as disgrace and she should fell humiliated.

Post 1, To Daryl West

I agree with you that teenagers are extremely vulnerable when they are learning about adulthood and sexuality. During the hormonal changes and mood swings of the child, a parent will have to step in and help but being careful to step out when need be. Since the child at puberty stage, is undergoing both psychological and physical changes as you have stated, a parent has to be exceedingly careful with what he allows his child into but also be carefully not to be too strict on him and over protective. Like on the issues of masturbation, I think it is necessary ...

For the past 48 hours, I have been completely alone. My laptop has been turned off (well, my wireless connection – I still played games and watched movies), as was my cell phone and my television. I did not risk watching programmed television, as it could have had a commercial or breaking news story that would have meant I cheated in my goal.

Thinking about what Deresiewicz said in his article, I could definitely understand the need for constant contact and communication. According to him, “our greatest fear is not submersion by the mass but isolation from the herd;” we do ...

An Analysis of Media Coverage of a Soccer Game

Introduction
This paper analyzes three different media sources of a live broadcast of a professional soccer match played between two English teams, West Bromwich Albion (WBA) and Crystal Palace (CP). The match took place on WBA’s home turf in the English midlands on Saturday, February 27, 2016. The visiting team, CP, is based in South London.

Business Marketing Innovation

Innovation has so far been focused on the introduction of disruptive technologies that could either come in the form of a new product line, an addition to an existing product line, or a major improvement or revision of such (i.e. product repositioning) . In this case, Sling TV would be one of the marketing innovation’s focuses. For starters, the Sling TV is an attempt to win over the customers of traditional cable-based television and video services.
The developers behind the Sling TV, spearheaded by Roger Lynch (Chief Executive Officer of Sling TV LLC, the company behind this innovation), aims ...

“[She] is wunderbar, but she is not my Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz.” People have a certain inclination to finding their destiny, their one true love, their soulmate. Usually, it would be considered almost a dream that a speech so meaningful and significant will be coming from a guy. However, to think this argument as valid would also be close to thinking that our world is mostly confined to all its biases and stereotypes. This is evidently not the case today.
Such is much portrayed in many forms of modern mass media. The world of television and movies, for instance, is a vast land of different characters ...

THE ‘PROBLEM’

While the transgendered community has received a significant increase in visibility and representation in television in recent years, the trend is only just beginning. To date, few trans characters are portrayed as “dynamic” in media, with most media having a cisgendered (skewing toward people whose biological gender matches their identity) bias (Conrad 1). There is an increasing population of trans people who wish to have greater representation in their media, and the outlook is currently positive given the greater tolerance of LGBT people in mainstream American culture (Wellborn 66). However, this process is merely beginning.
According to Hart, the ...

Stimuli-response method

This model is based on the theory of stimuli and response; where the stimuli elicit the desired response in the consumer. In this case, the marketer must figure out which items the consumer needs and do their best to figure out how to provide the product and make it attractive enough for the consumer to desire and buy it. This model starts with the marketer rather than the consumer; it assumes that the consumer does not know what he or she needs and has to be stimulated using a product or an appropriate marketing strategy (Kotler and Armstrong, 207).

Entry One: When I Am Old, I Shall Wear Purple

The first thing I thought of when I considered the idea of aging issues was a poem by Jenny Joseph, who wrote Warning, the first lines of which are, “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple/ With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me” (Sachteleben 2009). Joseph was born in 1932 in England composed this ode to being elderly in 1961. Although she grew up in a different generation, Joseph’s poem still resonates. In some ways, there is a certain freedom for the elderly. Many people spend their younger lives trying to do the right thing, ...

PART A

Fowler and Brenner, in their paper, argue that the regulation of broadcasters as public trustees should be replaced entirely with a policy which views broadcasters as marketplace participants who are governed by the rules and forces that govern the marketplace. In the paper, they argue that communications policy by the Federal Communications Commission should be directed towards the improvement and maximization of the services that the public desires by making an adjustment of definition of public demand and specifying the categories to serve this redefined demand. This, they argue, should enable the commission to change its policy and determine the ...

Current Vision, Mission, Objectives and Business Strategy

According to The Walt Disney Company (2016), its mission is to "be one of the world's leading producers and providers of entertainment and information" (p.1). Through an array of different services, products and content, the Walt Disney Company is dedicated and committed to ensuring that the world is enlivened by innovation and creativity (About, 2016). The company is ingenious in its execution of not only providing a promise to consumers to deliver time and time again, but to exceed their expectations. Hill (2010) finds that Disney has stood the test of time because it understands how to leverage its ...

Childhood obesity has become a serious issue in United States that requires urgent attention. This has been related with the growth of technology as well as accessibility of fast foods and snacks. The current systems in education and lifestyle changes do not allow children to participate in much outdoor activities and hence resolving to stationary activities that make them lazy and ultimately obese. One of the contributing factors in my opinion is the fact that parents have become too busy to attend to their children also makes them stressed and hence looking for other means through which they can comfort ...

Breast cancer is a type of disease where certain breast cells develop abnormally mostly in the milk ducts and lobules leading to formation of tumors. The exact cause of breast cancer is a topic that has flavored many debates and researches but still remains unknown. However a plethora of research has established that certain risk factors have a direct linkage with breast cancer. Breast cancer related risk factors are wide and varied and may include lifestyle choices like smoking/ diet or factors that are beyond the control of a person like gender, age or family history.

Hello Dave,

You know, a couple days ago I watch a TV show where the theme of intolerance was slightly noticed. The thing is in this ‘slightly’ – it seems like nowadays only a few people can clearly formulate its origins and reasons it still exists. With it, I also remembered the movie Crash, which also discussed some racial tensions (Crash). It was as if the TV show and movie were pulling me in the same direction. Maybe it is a coincidence, but on our last lecture we had some topics connected with this problem. Thus, in this letter I will try ...

Vince Gilligan’s crime/family drama Breaking Bad (2008-2013) is often cited as one of the greatest television shows ever made, one of the best examples of the era of prestige cable drama. Telling the story of science teacher-turned-meth-cook Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and his burnout assistant Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), Breaking Bad’s serialized narrative, layered performances and dedication to dynamic visual storytelling elevate it in ways not enjoyed by most cable dramas. Perhaps one of the most presentational and ambitious episodes of the series is the tenth episode of season three, “Fly,” directed by Rian Johnson. A classic ...

Literature Review

Edson Tandoc (2014, pp. 559-560) used the term “twerking” to describe how journalism has shifted its norms in news judgment due to capital instability. Capital, as specified by Tandoc (2014, p. 562), comes in four main forms under field theory: economic, cultural, social and symbolic. Economic capital pertains to money-convertible assets and is typically regarded in journalism in the form of the audience, revenues in advertising and rates of news circulation. Cultural capital stands for the “possession of competence in a socially valued area” (Tandoc, 2014, p. 562), which is justified by mechanisms ...

Paper/Assignment Due Date

The flow of the story is quicker in action films, and so the film needs to be reflective of that. The main antagonist in the film Unstoppable is Train 777, an unmanned train barreling down the track at eighty miles an hour. Not only is it destroying everything in its path, but it poses a serious risk -- it's carrying three carloads of an explosive, unstable liquid. It's a difficult task to make an inanimate object into a villain, but Scott does it through the use of combined real and filmed shots, close and quick cuts, and shaky camera usage. The scene ...

The car company Lexus has a TV advertisement that breaks the tradition of form of most car commercials. Most car commercials feature a car driving along an urban or rural roadway. Amazing in motion starts with full band music with the letters “Amazing in Motion” appearing above a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. Then the scene jumps to a number of flying futuristic drones. They move with personality and do not seem robotic. The music in the background is uplifting orchestral music that guides the drones music. They fly through city streets and museums and finally they fly into the sky where ...

Analysis of Selections from Nagel, What Does It All Mean?

Thomas Nagel’s 1987 book, What’s It All Mean?, offers an introduction to philosophical thought. He directs this book toward a person who has never studied philosophy before. He bases his introduction not in the writings of the great philosophers or great thinkers, but instead he offers nine categories of questions for his reader to think about. As he puts it, “The main concern of philosophy is to question and understand very common ideas that all of us use every day without thinking about them” (Nagel 5). By laying out these problems and his ideas about them, Nagel encourages ...

Aerobic Cell Respiration

Aerobic Cell Respiration is necessary for the respiration characteristics of life. Every living organism requires energy to use for growth and maintenance. Aerobic Cell Respiration leads to the conversion of biochemical energy into the Adenosine Tryphosphate (ADP). This occurs during catabolic metabolic reactions in which volumes of energy are released as a result of the breakdown of large molecules into small ones (Rich, P. R., 2003). This is an exothermic redox reaction which and it is through it that the living organisms manufacture energy. However, it can only occur if the body is supplied with energy rich foods such as ...

Mass Communication sets or perpetuates some gender agendas.

Mass communication provides an enormous influence on today’s society. It is something, which influences people thoughts, ideas, and attitude. It deals with art, paintings, films, music, and language. It ruins all the censorship that influences people during many centuries (Tedlock). Today, such things as movies, the TV, has a massive influence on the generation. In particular, it influences children. Movies today promote the adult way of living. Maybe they do not describe it completely but still provide a great example of everyday life, which little children see. Still, the TV has its censorship, which splits both relevant and ...

The experiences that people go through in life help shape their characters and actions. The behaviors that people exhibit cannot be looked at exclusively from an idealistic moral perspective. It is therefore important to look at an individual’s past situations before throwing a blanket judgment on them. This is the case with Troy Maxson in the play “Fences” written by August Wilson. An abstract look at his behavior would suggest that he is a selfish and egoistic man, yet a closer look at his life experiences suggests that more often than not, there was an underlying justification for ...

For example, the story is effective because the family deals with daily issues that many people have gone through or are going through right now. All the characters seem to spend their time in very convincing ways doing things some people may have experienced in life. First, the narrator states that he is watching television with his father. Neither of them is looking at each other while they are talking. Some boys and men may find it difficult to have an honest, heartfelt conversation with each other. Some of them may use items such as drinking, a movie, or ...

Information technology as a phenomenon that plays a significant role in the life of society and human is relatively recent.

The greatest influence on this process was by the development of local and global networks, industry of personal computers production, the Internet widespread, but the main driver of this process was the emergence of new services for the globalization of information exchange (creating the World Wide Web for standardization of search and delivery of multimedia documents). Today I consider that it ...

My initial hypothesis

Young adolescent people approach mathematical problems differently considering their gender. The methods that that the females use to approach mathematical problems are different from the approaches taken by their male counterparts. Traditionally, male students have been said to have a natural ability in mathematics and females have been attributed to less confidence and less learning styles. The thoughts of male students being much better than their female counterparts in mathematics seem real and ones that I can support because males tend to major in mathematical fields than females. Males have proven over time to be more successful in mathematics than ...

Introduction

The fact is all individuals are equally biased. Individuals cannot help it. They can only distinguish this innate bias and be able to counter against the same. The basis of economics provides that derivation or results and decision making needs to be supported by appropriate reason. It is dependent upon an exact consideration of something's value versus its expenses. However, life proves it to be totally wrong. Behavioral Economics shows that individuals are effectively affected by wrong information and different types of irrationality. Besides, the first year students are regularly unconscious of a drastic number of sources that impact their ...

Abstract.

A marginal youth group can be identified as a group of youth who have been identified by social workers as potential clients. Such groups exhibit some form of problem behavior or participate in some form of delinquent activities (Ngai et al, 2001). The police and private security guards are meant to provide security to the community and identify and protect the rights of these marginalized youth groups. However, the people who have the mandate to safeguard the rights of these groups are often seen as the violators of their rights. This is done by high handedness and implementation of laws ...
