Reality TV Shouldn’t be a Reality By Saydra Schmitz When you turn on a television today‚ reality TV litters the media. This is what our generation idolizes. But is it appropriate? Is this what we should be watching? When I see adults making immature and stupid decisions‚ I can only say‚ “No”. So I purpose that we ban the brain-melting reality TV material. Most reality TV shows‚ like “Jersey Shore”‚ is just a brain-numbing wreck that most children‚ teens‚ and even adults get

What exactly is the truth? Is it reality‚ sincerity‚ integrity? Is it accuracy and honesty? How can we tell the difference between the truth and lies? Why does the media have the power to decide for us what is true? As Oscar Wilde once said ’The truth is rarely pure and never simple’. This statement sums up the difficulties of telling the truth‚ and this is furthermore shown in Rob Sitch et al’s Frontline‚ Lies by Michael Leunig and the poem Nothing to Report by May Herschel Clarke.

The Death of Reality and the Reality of Death Death is never easy. Afterall it is the only sure thing anyone will ever do. Yet how one dies is determined by how they live. One who lives their life to the fullest will be content and open to death‚ while one whose life has been empty will fear it; but what if the difference between full and empty was not so easily differentiated? What if reality and falsehood were the same? This idea is contemplated in both Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller and

The Deceit of Reality When it comes to reality TV‚ "reality" becomes a problem‚ a story created by producers and editors. The media exploits people who grope for airtime‚ who will do anything for their five minutes of fame‚ and are willing to bare their souls‚ or their bodies‚ for that matter‚ on national television. Neal Gabler wrote a piece on "Grieving for the Camera" which discusses the problems with the news today. According to Gabler‚ when people are in a state of grief‚ they are vulnerable

Machine Introduction If Mike Figgis’s remarkable Timecode (2000) exemplifies the difficult search of digital cinema for its own unique aesthetics‚ it equally demonstrates how these emerging aesthetics borrow from cinema’s rich past‚ from other media‚ and from the conventions of computer software. The film splits the screen into the four quadrants to show us four different actions taking place at once. This is of course something that have been common in computer games for a while; we may also
