    Critical Analysis of Jorge J E Gracias "The Secret of Sienfelds Humor"

    These insignificant things become significant because they are behaviours from our lives that we may often overlook or ignore (Gracia, 2000), but which are easily and universally recognisable characteristics of the everyday, irrespective of gender, race and culture. The show points out things to us we can empathise with due to seeing it occur or experiencing it in our own lives which we often choose to ignore (Gracia, 2000). By putting these little idiosyncrasies on display with the use of television programming we are given the opportunity to view things from a sociological perspective. We are studying our own behavioural patterns by watching the characters on television performing these same…

    Summary: Manipulating Reality TV

    Surprisingly, reality TV lacks on one important factor that reality TV should incorporate, and that is reality. Many television programs full of high entertainment and creativity are full of lies and as well. Most television producers and directors edit conversations and persuade the stars to make certain decisions. Although there is no written script for the show, that doesn’t stop TV workers from altering reality.…

    “Ponyboy, listen don’t get tough. You’re not like the rest of us and don’t try to be…”-Two-bit Matthews Page 171. The Outsiders is a novel written by S.E Hinton in the 1960’s, the novel is based on a true story. The story is about Ponyboy, a teenager that belongs in the gang called Greasers.

    How Valid Is Mary Whitehouse’s View That the Media Was Responsible for a Decline in Moral Standards in the 1960s-1970s?

    The notion of Television being the main medium of influence of this period is irrefutable, with 95% of British households owning one by the end of the 1960s. Although the fact that the government set up the Committee of Inquiry on Broadcasting could in itself suggest that media had partial censorship (thus disallowing any real explicit broadcasts which could lead to a moral decline), they did little to stop, and actually welcomed the hard-hitting ‘social realist’ plays such as ‘up the junction (1965)’ and ‘Come Home Cathy (1966)’, as they were a replacement for the supposedly ‘vulgar’ American style programmes on ITV such as ‘Take Your Pick (1958-66)’ and the Westerns/Crime Dramas which they feared would erode British culture and make people more violent. Though, these plays did could be argued to have ‘worsened’ the situation as, for example, ‘Up the Junction’ depicted quite a graphic and powerful home abortion scene, and it is suggested that this may have been one of the causes of the 1967 Abortion Act to be passed; which of course consequently lead to…

    Reflection On Dr. Matthew Desmond's 'Evicted'

    Prompt 1: Create your own open-ended response. Respond to any aspect you want to, but stay focused on a particular topic and consider the components of the response rubric. When initially assigned to read Evicted by Sociologist, Dr. Matthew Desmond, I was not sure what to expect. The idea of a privileged white male sharing the experiences of marginalized communities did not excite me. Now that I have completed the book, I can honestly say that I am glad I had the opportunity to read it.…

    Educating Essex

    Educating Essex

    On ‘Educating Essex’ I have witnessed many negative things that show teenagers in a bad way, such as students walking across a table, pupils on mobile phones, swearing at each other and teachers, cyber-bullying, teenage pregnancy and young girls caked with make-up, even the introduction is very negative towards teenagers. This shows that all teenagers don’t behave in school and do not care about their education and future, but majority of students are not like that, most of them are fun-loving, active and mature for their age. I think the reason for their behaviour are the cameras, as most of them want to show off and think it’s a good idea to play up to them. ‘Educating Essex’ has only focused on the students that badly behave and cause the trouble all the time, but they haven’t showed the good side of teenagers, where they work hard in class, and behave because they are working to achieve the equivalent of five or more GCSE’s at grade A* to C. The programme only creates a fake image of a typical teenager, but certainly they do not act like that, and I know that because I am a student myself, and I’ve never seen this kind of behaviour in my school.…

    A Response to Pete Hamill's article entitled "Crack in the Box," relating the symptoms of a tv addict to a drug addict

    Television develops a tolerance to the evils that occur in society. Death, whether it results from a ten car pileup, a raging fire, or a heinous murder, is what makes a show exciting. News anchors often tell a devastating story then will be flashing their bleached white teeth through a smile only moments later. Television viewers do not have sympathy towards melancholic events because they see them everyday.…
