Do you want both sides? or just the bad? I'll go with both simply because I believe that if you know what you are up against you will do better in a debate, that and I tend toward being long winded. So economically speaking how is hollywood good? Movies, people go to the movies, they spend money to see the movie, this requires people which means people have jobs which means that when people go see the movie people are making money which can later be spent and so on. Not to mention the jobs that are created from the production itself, not just actors either the set designers, props, cameras, someone has to make these items, thus creating more jobs.
HollyWood bad? This is a bit harder, Economically speaking atleast, I will say that money and power corrupts, look at Paris Hilton or Sylvester Stalone, Both recently got into trouble and will probably only have to pay a fine, where one might say this is a good thing because money is once again changing hands I consider it bad, not just for the obvious cultural problems, but because that money could go to many people rather than just the goverment, with this I will also say that since these stars have more money they tend to spend their money at higher end places where things are more expensive and thus the rich get richer. Of course as far as bad for economics what about the raising ticket prices? I mean seriously, 8.00 to go see a movie? atleast here, Why bother? I can rent the movie in a month for way less in a few months, with as quick as some of these movies are turned into DVD's the wait is worth the money saved if you aren't dying to see the movie, Heck you can buy the movie for less than it cost for you to take your 2 children (based on average family size not on you). So there again less money is changing hands because the higher the prices go the less someone wants to go see it. Bear in mind that the economical influence is going to be seen a lot more in the mioddle to lower classes than in the highly paid

    But when we look at the bigger picture, it is different from what it looks like on the surface. Kiedis sings “Born and raised by those who praise, control of population” (Kiedis et al. lines 33-34). So many of us in the world have dreams of being a part of Hollywood and idolize the people who are part of it. Celebrities have reached a very high status in our society and have the ability to influence us all. For instance, celebrities set the fashion trends, people around the world learn from and try to imitate celebrities whether they are good or bad. These are just some of the many negative influences Hollywood has on people around the…

    Technically speaking, the methods mentioned above that Hollywood accounting comprise, designed to avoid paying out profits to those people in which they are due, is legal.15 For the most part, there are no accounting regulations that have been outright violated by Hollywood’s accounting practices, and similar methods can be found in other industries, albeit to a lesser degree. Further, Hollywood has so much power in this country, and helps fund numerous political campaigns, that the government does not usually give the film industry many problems.16 Evidence suggests that some crony capitalism may be present, as movie studios receive tax incentives from the government, while in-turn lining the pockets of political campaigners.…

    Hollywood is a very powerful modern day institution, where a star's image can characterize, shape and circulate societal myths and ideologies. The construction of a star's image as a commodity of their societal myths and ideologies has the extraordinary power to exert messages so that even the smallest details become significant yet not overtly obvious. How a star's image is produced and then consumed can justify a society's relationship with that image and therefore aid in explaining the social construction of what society deems as their 'reality'. A star's image is created through a range of representations churned out by Hollywood. Capitalism from the commercialization of these images has made Hollywood the dominant force it is today.…

    1930s Movie Theater

    • 1024 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The movie theater industry flourished with the attendance to movie theaters soaring. It was said to be that essentially all the population was attending movie theaters during this decade. The most influential reasoning for this spark of film was the craving for an escape from the people, who needed desperately to get away from their own lives, and experience someone else’s live and feel other emotions besides anguish and sorrow. Although the population’s yearning for an escape pushed the film industry to the top, the government assisted with the Works Progress Administration’s New Deal programs and the film and movie theater companies benefitted the industry by creating unique and intriguing genres and appealing advertisements. Today’s society also reaches to movies to take a break from reality and movie theater companies still continue to advance and innovate advertisements and the theaters themselves to increase the attendance. Even though, the decade of the 1930s was overall filled with misery and discouragement, the film industry was a positive aspect of this time with its new funding by the government it strived with advanced genres and…

    Hollywood Blacklist Essay

    • 588 Words
    • 3 Pages

    As the United States was returning home from World War II, there was a time of reflection upon the state of things back home. Feeling a sense of accomplishment and being unburdened of conflict, Americans had time to see what had happened in the meantime. Since so much of the entertainment industry was being provided by the movie theatre, inevitably that attention would be placed on the motion picture industry. There were eight companies greatly profiting from their studio system arrangement, and after years of fighting legal attempts to break up their monopolies, these companies were forced to divest their ownership in movie theaters in a decision now known as the Paramount decision. Hollywood’s reaction to the financial consequences of this decision along with a heavily reinforced postwar pro-American sentiment led to what is now known as the Hollywood blacklist. I believe the impact of these two courtroom decisions was a mass restructuring of how films are made in order to maximize distribution, rebrand the types of films being produced and to cull existing talent, all to turn a larger profit.…

    The demise of the studio system began in 1948 with the Supreme Court ruling challenging antitrust laws in the studios (United States vs. Paramount Pictures, Inc.). This ruling ended “Block Booking” and forced the major studios to sell the majority of their theater circuits. This ruling also negatively affected the studios by not guarantying films would be shown to an audience. The new medium of television also affected the studio system because it created programming which entertained the public in a more private setting (home). Cartoons, news programming and sitcoms were the new direction of Hollywood. There was no longer a need to go to the cinema unless you wished to watch a specific movie or have a date night…

    Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam

    It is a cosmic organization. And it is an organization by the people, of the people and for the people. It is absolutely organic and existential. It is basically built on the very need of the existence. I strongly believe that the very need of the existence has to be the need of every individual. We are all here to fulfill that individual need and in turn fulfill the very need of the existence. We all in our lives have seen and come across many organizational structures. There are organizations that are commercial and profit making. Their very purpose is economic in nature. Their very objective is profit making. There are organizations that are social organizations. Their very objective is to achieve some kind of social objective by helping people who are not well economically. They all are ultimately dependent on the support of the commercial and political organizations in some way. There are organizations that are political in nature. Their very purpose is to assure and ensure good governance to the people of their country. The very word governance is wrong. Who is governing on whom? The whole purpose of the Government is welfare of the society and peace in the society. The whole objective of a Government is to work towards the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. The moment there is a gap in the feeling of oneness in the society it may give rise to injustice and depletion of peace in the society and the same may have many other repercussions. The mind and body are the servants of the Soul or Atma. The Atma or Soul is the servant of Parmatma. Just like there are so many families in a nation, in a similar way the Government is a family of the nation. The Governments have to serve its people. Only few servers serve the requests of many more computers. All the efforts of the society should ultimately move towards digital and virtual governance. There are some organizations that are purely devoted to scientific research. All the progress that is there today is due to…
