Broadcast News: Mad City
Elements used by Max Bracket to Construct His News Story
A) Max says to his News director Lou that ever since he was working for his news team that the ratings have gone up from a three to a nine out of 10. Max knew that Lou's job so he used it as an advantage for him to contradict his own better judgement.
B)Max convinces Sam he will help him find a job.
C) When Max left the museum after the police arrived he was approached by the police chief and gave him the inside story of the hostage situation. If the chief allowed Max to continue his story he said that he would become
D) While Sam was allowing the children to eat from the dispenser, Max was telling the museum curator Mrs. Banks that this news story will benefit her as well not just him. Max said "Tomorrow you will be running the most famous museum in the country, Mrs. Banks you will have Dodos and dinosaur bones up the wazoo." Her response was silent.
In essence Max knows that if he would have what he wants, the other person would need to benefit from this. Max knows what people want and he uses that want to his advantage to acquire what he posses, such as Mrs. Banks and the police chief.
Endorsements
A) The store sent a van with free pizza and light up shoes, but inside the van was a team of militia ready to stealthily take out Sam. The sporting goods store was working with the FBI.
B) It would be un ethical to try to go out of their way to help Sam and the child hostages but help out in taking him out at the same time.
An American Story
A) America’s culture with violence has existed since the declaration of independence. It is no question that the violence Americans believe is any different than the movie Mad City. The Media would always need to capture the story to release it to the public who reflect it on themselves as a society; just like how in the film when Sam Baily released the children from the

    In this trimester, I have studied Paradigm II at Mahidol University International College, which is a core course for the social science division. This course learns about the major paradigms in social sciences during the twentieth century. In the past few months, a lecturer, Eugene Jones, opened a documentary film named Bowling for Columbine. In this film, a filmmaker, Michael Moore, try to find the reason of butchery in the United States. After I watched this film, I had learned that there are numerous reasons why Americans are so violent.…

    The Mass Media today is the main reason why our culture is so violence driven. First I am going to start off on the news media and movies that are being viewed by our children and young adults. The news media always seems to project negative things. You rarely hear anything about a city not having an violent acts being placed over the news. Instead you turn the news on and your going to see how a father came home and found his wife cheating on him so he beat her to death, then killed all his children before turning his gun on…

    Mad City” arrives with the last thing a movie about journalism needs--last year's news. It's about the media feeding frenzy that erupts when a museum guard takes hostages. A TV newsman is one of them, the news channels carry the story around the clock, the museum is ringed with cops and cameras, and we get lots of scenes showing the vanity and hypocrisy of anchormen. This is not news.…

    The film is set in the near future of a bleak, dystopian and impoverished Australia that is facing a breakdown of civil order primarily due to widespread oil shortages. (This is not explained in this film but in the sequel, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.) Central to the plot is a poorly-funded national police unit called the Main Force Patrol (MFP, derogatorily called "The Bronze" by their enemies), which struggles to protect the Outback's few remaining townspeople from violent motorcycle gangs. The MFP's "top pursuit man" is a young police officer, Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson), badge number MFP4073.…

    Shootings

    • 600 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Violence is inevitable. Some of the greatest psychological researchers have stated that the human mind is driven by the desire for sex and violence. The well-known book, Lord of the flies by William Golding, as well as many twentieth century movies, is based on this concept. In his article, Gopnik analyzes mass massacres in other countries and compares them to those of the United States. Although the other countries look down on the United States, they do not take the time to compare their past killers to those in the U.S. As Gopnik states, “Every nation has violent loners, and they tend to have remarkably similar profiles from one country and culture to the next.” This statement simply means that our culture has nothing to do with the violence we hear about all over the news. Part of the blame lies further than the shooting games and action movies our kids watch on television, it lies on the government. The government has the power to create new laws in order to protect its citizens. The United States government however, has not taken necessary measures to minimize these types of massacres. While other countries take great actions after unfortunate…

    Jacoby vs Rhodes

    • 1487 Words
    • 6 Pages

    There has been disagreement with Jacoby’s argument since some believe the media isn’t responsible for violence at all. In his essay, “Hollow Claims about Violence,” Richard Rhodes argues that society isn’t really desensitized to violence and that all those claims are wrong. Rhodes addresses the reasons why these claims are false and why society shouldn’t listen to them. According to Rhodes, there is no direct link between exposure to violence in the media and violent behavior performed by people. Rhodes provides data from experiments and factual evidence that contain numbers and rates about homicides and violence in all parts of the world for all ages of society. Richard Rhodes concludes his argument with the fact that violence is actually declining in America, implying that Jacoby’s claim is wrong. Although Jacoby presents a valid argument, Rhodes does a better job in convincing the reader that Jacoby’s analysis is wrong through his effective use of factual evidence, recognizing flaws in opposing evidence, and use of a formal writing style.…
