    Southern Reality Shows

    Southern identities created in reality television are shaping the work and wellbeing of southerners, as well as their loss concept of self through southern livelihood. In recent years, reality television programs featuring “redneck” culture in particular have witnessed increased popularity. These southern reality television programs present southerners doing everything from frequently proceeding with unacceptable rude and obscene behavior, eating triple fried foods at county fairs, fishing with their bare hands, and making up words not found within the traditional English dictionary. The issue here is that while southern reality television shows may be watched exclusively for their entertainment and popularity attraction, and while they seem…

    Argumentative Essay On Family Guy

    For my media choice, I chose the TV show Family Guy. I decided to choose this specific TV show since it’s one of the more popular TV shows playing right now. Being that it’s one of the more popular TV shows, it’s broadcasted to more of the population than most other TV shows. Despite trying to be funny, Family Guy portrays certain races/ethnicities in such ways that it can be classified as offensive and racist. Family Guy loves to perpetuate the stereotypes of said races/ethnicities and tries to give a ‘comedic’ spin on the oppression of others for a quick laugh.…

    Limitations Of Freedom Of Speech In The United States

    The first takeaway from business law is the limitation of freedom of speech. Although, the first amendment states that “congress should make no law … abridging the freedom of speech”, people have limitation on when and where they can exercise their freedom of speech because they can face consequences. Freedom of speech can violate the first amendment if a politician uses it to promote lawless conduct. A company promoting false information can also be outlawed. Additionally, freedom of speech is not just words it can be symbols and actions. Another concept I learned during the course was intellectual property. Although it is not tangible, it is strictly protected in the United States. Intellectual property consists of four categories patents,…

    First Amendment Right To Free Speech

    The always extolled US Constitutional First Amendment right to free speech, and the exercise of it, is in truth penultimate to and contingent upon the right to revolution and rebellion as the ultimate and last resort and stand. For the right to free speech is nothing at all but an empty and servile rhetoric without the implied resolve to fight to the death for it in the last instance. Thus also the Second Amendment’s purpose is to provide the people with the ways and means to effect the intrinsic right to revolution/rebellion in guarding against abusive centralized power. As Jefferson stated, the Second Amendment is constructed for the purposes of the peoples’ “last resort, to protect themselves from tyranny in government.” – i.e., revolution.…

    The First Amendment And Censorship

    The first amendment: freedom of speech is violated with censorship. In the ALA Library Bill of Rights, parents, and only parents, have the right to prohibit or control what their children read. Freedom of expression and of opinion is for everyone, not just for the people that the majority thinks are right. In 1953, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas said, “Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could easily defeat us,”(Quotations: First Amendment, Censorship…). This shows that even the government can see the harmful effects of book banning. Furthermore, “the school alone has the final say in what books are appropriate for the children under its care to read,…

    Freedom Of Speech On Hate Speech

    That freedom of speech is quintessential to the survival of democracy is almost a universal truth – one which finds support in the Indian Constitution as well. However, freedom of speech, if left completely unbridled, can be abused, to marginalize certain social groups. Such speech, which incites hatred towards a particular social group – usually national, religious, or racial, is commonly known as hate speech.…

    Free Speech on Campus

    Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely without censorship. Early Americans enjoyed great freedom of speech compared to citizens of other nations. This strength was achieved through the exercise of the First Amendment right to freedom of expression. The right of free speech is held by all of us. Any attempt to limit that freedom for some, including the bigot who expresses prejudiced, wrong, and hateful opinions, risks limiting that freedom for all of us. The U.S. Constitution says that we are a nation with the freedom to articulate beliefs and opinions in open discussion, but current, unwritten "politically correct" rules many times conflict with our constitutional rights so that we must ask, does freedom of speech really exist in our daily life? Is the First Amendment being applied to students’ life on campus? Before expressing a strong opinion on anything, most of us carry out a practical inventory of possible results: how will a professor, the dean or some other campus authority figure react if a student disagrees with the professor’s way of teaching or some other action that affects campus life? Should campuses encourage the free exchange of ideas? Free speech on campus should be encouraged to promote academic achievement but controlled to discourage speech that deters students from enjoying the intellectual life in an academic setting.…

    Stereotypes

    Stereotypes

    With or without recollection human nature causes us to judge others based on first impression or even one’s appearance. In some cases it is necessary to judge someone off of the way they carry themselves in order to perform one’s expected duties to the best of their abilities. For instance, individuals in the police force must have a strong sense of judgment, as they are always in the line of danger never being able to let their guard down. This is understandable because in order for a police officer to fulfill their duty to serve and protect the people they must protect themselves from anyone attempting to commit harm on them. Other than occupations that require judging another human being, I feel as if it is completely immoral to have expectations of one’s behavior due to the color of their skin. Some may call this racism. Others may call this stereotyping. Regardless of the term given, it is not right to put a whole race in a negative category based on the actions of a few people belonging to that race have done. A major contributor to this wrongful situation is the constant influence of television shows that attempt to imitate the lifestyle of a particular race. In this text I used the ideological approach to show how TV sitcoms, such as the Chappelle’s Show, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and The Boondocks, use images and sounds to reinforce stereotypes of African American people in the United States that may or may not be false, ultimately underlining the belief of how African Americans are portrayed throughout society.…
