The Mystery Of The Vampire Diaries
Blood Lust Fact or fiction? For centuries there has been talk but no one has yet to prove that vampires exist. The Vampire Diaries is a series based
on novels about supernatural creatures as though it was reality, this series was launched in 2006 by the CW network. This supernatural drama has
grasped its viewers and has grown in popularity making it one of the most sought after series. This heart pounding action packed show is now in its
seventh season and after losing one of its main characters in season six, The VampireDiaries has not skipped a beat with their ever so exuberant tails.
The Vampire Diariesis by far my favorite television series to date because of its post–feminism, erotic love triangle, and the plot is tied with the
ongoing mystery of the supernatural creature. Without a doubt this show is directed towards women viewers, not only with its exceedingly handsome
actors, but with its insatiable story line. The Vampire Diaries is post–feminist and the network is notoriously known to target young to middle aged
women for a majority of their television series. The CW network mentions that it prides itself on being "the only network targeting women aged 18–34"
(cw.com). Generating slogans that are specific for this demographic such as "Free To Be" and "TV Now" have helped intrigue that specific audience.
"The way the CW network is postfeminist is in line with scholars such as Yvonne Tasker and Diane Negra's use of the term, characterized by a kind of

Marxism : An Overview Of Marxism
Marxism: An Overview Marxism is comparable to Capitalism. Like Capitalism, Marxism strives for the profit–motive. Capitalism is driven by the
continuous desire to increase capital (Ott & Mack, 2014). This means that every service exists only to produce profit. Marxism on the other hand
produces two classes. The first are owners, and the second are workers. In the case of this paper we will simplify this and categorize the workers as
consumers. The Ellen DeGeneres Show is a prime example of Capitalism. As entertaining and popular as the show is, there are a lot of factors that play
into the production of the show. We will now examine these factors in depth.
Concentration and Conglomeration
When watching The Ellen DeGeneres Show, it's hard to realize all the powerhouses, money, and subsidiaries that go on behind the scenes. The Ellen
DeGeneres Show debuted on September 8, 2003 ( (Wikipedia, 2015) and today is in its twelve season of production. The show is owned and operated
by Time Warner. Time Warner is one of "The Big Six" media giants in the United States. They rank number 156 on Forbes World's Biggest Public
Companies (Forbes, 2015). Under the broadcasting and cable industry, Time Warner came in third, just behind Comcast and Disney. Time Warner is

Walt Disney Case

that we never lose sight of one thing–that it was all started by a mouse. –Walt Disney The Walt Disney Company's rebirth under Michael Eisner was
widely considered to be one of the th great turnaround stories of the late 20 century. When Eisner arrived in 1984, Disney was languishing and had
narrowly avoided takeover and dismemberment. By the end of 2000, however, revenues had climbed from $1.65 billion to $25 billion under Eisner,
while net earnings had risen from $0.1 billion to $1.2 billion (see Exhibit 1). During Eisner's first 15 years, Disney generated a 27% annual total 1

The result was Mickey Mouse. When Mickey failed to elicit much interest, Walt tried to attract a distributor by adding synchronized sound–something
that had 8,9 never been attempted in a cartoon. His gamble paid off handsomely with the release of Steamboat 10 Willie in 1928. Overnight, Mickey
Mouse became an international sensation known variously as "Topolino" (Italy), "Raton Mickey" (Spain), and "Musse Pigg" (Sweden). However, the
company was still strapped for cash, so it licensed Mickey Mouse for the cover of a pencil tablet–the first of many such licensing agreements. Over
time, as short–term cash problems subsided, Disney began to worry 11 about brand equity and thus licensed its name only to "the best companies." The
Disney brothers ran their company as a flat, non–hierarchical organization, in which everyone, including Walt, used their first names and no one had
titles. "You don't have to have a title," said 12 Walt. "If you're important to the company, you'll know it." Although a taskmaster driven to achieve
creativity and quality, Walt emphasized teamwork, communication, and cooperation. He pushed 13 himself and his staff so hard that he suffered a
nervous breakdown in 1931. However, many workers were fiercely committed to the company. Despite winning six Academy Awards and successfully
introducing new characters such as Goofy and Donald Duck, Walt realized

Sexual Videos On Children 's Programming Essay
Sexual Referencing in Children's Programming Children's programming is beginning to raise a concern among many parents due to sexual content
being involved along with other touchy subjects like violence, offensive language or verbal abuse. Due to the recent technological advancements,
children's media exposure has increased causing more children to be bombarded with shows featuring sexual innuendos, activity or adult subtext. Not
only is the sexual content being included frequently in programming, children are facing the content in advertisements as well. An example of this is
the advertisement poster for The Lion King. The film poster features the face of Simba in which many analyzers and parents are pointing out the nose
and between the eyes looks like the "butt of a naked woman" creating a sexual image children could pick up on (Citation). Sexual content in the
programming can have both positive and negative effects on the children watching and understanding what is going on in the show or film. While
parents have a concern about sexual content being included into programming for children, positive effects should be noticed along with the negative
effects being discussed. Much of the sexual content goes unnoticed due to the small hidden images in art or subliminal messages and sexual innuendos.
Due to many children being unaware of the effects of media and the content involved, parents should become informed about the types of content in
programming, the effects of

Cartoon Violence
Cartoons on a television are glue to children. Children will spend hours a day watching their favorite cartoons, such as "SpongeBob SquarePants" or
"Adventure Time." Unfortunately, the content on these shows, and several others, can harm children. Directly, cartoons can affect how children think
and act; additionally, this leads to the indirect effect of children physically hurting one another. Children daily see hundreds of violent acts on
television. Most parents notice the obvious acts of gore and try to avoid those types of shows; however, what parents do not realize is that cartoons
contain just as much, if not more, violence per episode. When parents see shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants," for example, they seem more

Therefore, the children that do become used to the violence do not realize how much they are absorbing, and are thus more likely to keep watching and
increase the damage already inflicted onto their minds. Additionally, younger children who watch violent cartoons tend to believe they can mimic what
is on screen. A news story in China where children attempted to mimic their favorite cartoon with near fatal consequences reads:
"The Li brothers' tragedy began one fine April afternoon with a bit of play–acting. When 10–year–old Shun Shun ran into eight–year–old Li Haoran
and his little brother Li Hao, four, just outside of their village of Mawang, near Lianyungang in Jiangsu province, the three friends decided to play a
game. They would act out the big wolf roasting the lamb – an idea the boys later said they got from the popular children's television series Pleasant
Goat and Big Big Wolf. Taking the role of wolf, Shun Shun used some scrap cloth he found nearby to tie the two brothers to a tree. After piling some
dried leaves around their feet, he set it alight. Within minutes, strong gusts of wind blew the fire out of control. The terrified Shun Shun ran away,
leaving the Li boys screaming for help. A passing villager heard their cries and rushed to help. But by the time flames were put out, the brothers were
severely burned. The boys were rushed to the county hospital and transferred on the same night to a city hospital, which had better facilities. For a

Take these examples from Entertainment Weekly: 1.NBC, the only network to make a profit last year, also boasts the whitest programming.
2.The WB's Felicity draws similar numbers of 18– to 49– year–olds as the net's two highest– rated black series, The Steve Harvey Show and The Jamie
Foxx Show. But last season, Felicity commanded about $80,000 per 30 second commercial while The Steve Harvey Show and The Jamie Foxx Show
each drew less than $40,000 for an equivalent spot.
3.The WB lost 20 percent of its black 18– to 49–year–old viewers last season yet will earn record ad revenue this fall.The facts do not lie and it's a
wonder why none of the ad execs EW interviewed would go on record. Because the position they are defending is borderline racist: White viewers
are worth more than black viewers, they won't talk about it. And the studios share a similarly narrow view: Networks generate less ad money from
"black" shows, so they pay less to the studio. Plus potential revenue from reruns and international sales of black series are smaller.
Second excuse is the plethora of networks today. Back in the old days there were only three broadly programmed networks. That all changed in the
late 80's with the launch of Fox, a network that found early success targeting minorities with shows like "In Living Color" and "Martin". WB and
UPN followed in '95, allowing NBC, CBS, and ABC to edge away from the genre.

Everwood, although having a bit of an older audience than the others, had a large, loyal fan base to build on. The show also received high critical
acclaim, allowing for a strong possibility of increasing the number of new viewers. Veronica Mars also had a loyal fan base, albeit somewhat
smaller, exemplified by the fan that paid to have an airplane circle the CEO's office, pleading to keep the show on air. The show also fit with the target
demographic of females between 18–34 years old. 7th Heaven, being the network's longest running show, was also the longest–running family drama in
history. While the show was quite expensive to produce, there were available cuts that could be made to keep the show's cost on par with the other three.
4.First, Veronica Mars would be placed after Gilmore Girls on Tuesdays due to the similar viewers and also the similarity of the protagonists of the
shows. Everwood would be shown on Mondays before Runaway. I think it makes sense to put a well–regarded show like Everwood, which has a

The company has grown so big and its problems are so far–reaching––ranging from the phenomenon of "age compression" to the explosion of media
choices––that they can't be fixed by a couple of hit movies or TV shows or more Disney stores. The other scary thing is this: Disney seems less able

Section 1: General Topic If there is prejudice against people of different cultures, sexual orientation, and class, it is no surprise that there is also
prejudgment towards people based on their age. Ageism, coined by Robert Neil Butler is the discrimination against groups or individuals on the basis
of their age. As it was discussed in Todd Nelson's "Ageism: the Strange Case of Prejudice Against the Older you", there are lot of factors on why
people may have certain prejudicial attitudes towards the elderly. It could all be sourced from the society's perspective on change, fear of death,
institutionalization of ageism, etc. Since the study of age prejudice is fairly new and constantly expanding, researchers are still finding new
discoveries on factors regarding ageism (Nelson, 2011, p. 37). Studies done by Lee, Carpenter, and Meyers suggests that television advertisements
may alter the viewers attitudes about older adults by portraying them a certain way. These findings are important because among all forms of media,
television is perhaps the most pervasive in society (Lee et al., 2006). Another study, "the role of individual difference variables in ageism" reveals that
empathy traits, personality traits, and gratitude have influence on ageist beliefs. The researchers claim it may be crucial in weeding out certain

to inform the public of the relevant events that occurred around the world. The job of the media is to search out the truth and relay that news to the

So what are the ramifications of this definition on the media? Well the answer to that question is in the phrases ?the people are the main political force?
and ?engage in frequent and meaningful debates about relevant issues.? The relationship between these two statements is where the media enters the
equation because it is the media that provides the public with the relevant issues. Under the Federal Communications Act of 1934 and subsequent
legislation and court decisions? broadcasting was to serve the "public interest, convenience, and necessity, ascribing certain democratic functions to the
media? (Gseis.ucla.edu). The press and then the broadcast media were thus to provide information, ideas, and debate concerning issues of public
significance in order to promote a democratic public sphere. Broadcasting was conceived as a public utility, with the airwaves established as part of the
public domain, subject to regulation by the government to assure that broadcasting would meet its democratic responsibilities. Today the relationship

Sex seems to be the major focus in reality TV shows today. It seems as if producers of reality TV shows tend to make a large emphasis in sexual

Whenever possible we will recreate or reclaim original materials to maintain the integrity of the original Pyramid. We will coat the new Great Pyramid
with our patented MagicShellв„ў product. This product will seal the stones protecting Khufu's Pyramid from any further damages created by the
environment. This product was invented by MummyMovers in 1990 and is a sealant that allows natural resource material to repel elements like
smog, sand storms, or acid rain from their damaging effects while maintaining an undetectable appearance. The usual cost of the application is 10%
plus cost, but we will apply it free of charge as part of our contribution to this historical endeavor. Our true passion is preserving history and we would
like to help Egypt preserve this national treasure for everyone to enjoy for eternity. We estimate this project will take just under 10 years to complete.
The cost of the multi–purpose facility, roadway and railway, dismantling and rebuilding of Khufu's Pyramid, as well as other costs such as utilities,

Blacks on Television: Amos & Andy Essay
Portrayal of African Americans on television is frequently a controversial topic. Throughout its rather brief history, television, in its programming, has
skewed predominantly white, (Pringozy, 2007). This was clearer in the 1950s and early 1960s, and it even remained true throughout the 1970s, when
television shows with mainly all African American casts became hits, (Strausbaugh, 2006). The success of The Cosby Show in the 1980s helped to
improve race relations somewhat, or at least on television, (McNeil, 1996). Still, controversy continued, and still does to this day, as to which shows
present negative stereotypes of African Americans and which ones do not, (Strausbaugh, 2006). Therefore, when talking about the history of African...

rated 13th in the A.C. Neilson television ratings for the 1951–1952–television season, (Rice, 2009). However, as soon as the show debuted, it began
drawing criticism from various organizations for its allegedly negative portrayal of American Americans, (Rice, 2009). An example of this
criticism came from a bulletin issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on August 15, 1951, entitled
"Why The Amos and Andy Show Should be Taken Off the Air", (Rice, 2009). Some of the accusations included "Every character in this one and
only TV show with an all Negro cast is either a clown or a crook" (Rice, 2009), "Negro doctors are shown as quacks and thieves" (Rice, 2009), and
"It tends to strengthen the conclusion among uniformed and prejudiced people that Negros are inferior, lazy, dumb, and dishonest" (Rice, 2009).
Despite protests such as these, The Amos and Andy Show remained a hit until it ceased production in 1953, (Rice, 2009). The show's last original
broadcast came on June 11, 1953, (Rice, 2009). After ending its broadcast run, the reruns of the show were widely syndicated, (Rice, 2009). This all

Caucasians tend to watch programs with primarily Caucasian casts, and African Americans tend to watch programs with primarily African American
casts. Television has the power to influence American culture in many ways. For example, the images, which are presented on television, become
what individuals expect in the real world. As negative images, or images misrepresenting African Americans are projected; the mass culture has a
greater tendency to accept the false images as the truth. It is important for Americans to examine the basis of the expectations they have from
television sitcoms and be careful in accepting its relation to the real world. The conclusions Americans of all races draw from this are important in
lowering the stereotypes on television and the interaction between all individuals. With the 1980's came a new portrayal of African American's on
television. Shows such as The Cosby Show depicted African American's with middle–class lifestyles. Characters were seen as successful doctors,
nurses, and lawyers. This idea was not readily accepted. In fact, ABC originally turned down the idea of The Cosby Show because they did not
believe America would be able to handle the idea of an average, middle–class African American family. (Johnson, 59) The Cosby Show was
completely different from any previous African American show. Before The Cosby Show, African Americans on television were most commonly

The Effects Of Advertising On Body Image
The media is one of the leading causes of self esteem and body image issues in not only women but men as well. This is due to the fact that thousands
of advertisements contain messages about physical attractiveness and beauty. Examples include: commercials for clothes, cosmetics, weight loss, hair
removal, laser surgery and physical fitness. The effects of advertising on body image have been studied by researchers, psychologists, marketing
professionals and more. Researchers, Mary Martin and James Gentry found that teen directed advertising negatively impacts self–esteem. The
advertising industry is setting unrealistic expectations for teens about their physical appearances by using models with "perfect bodies." The modeling
industry today has put many pressures on models, causing them disorders of both mental and physical illness. These disorders then creating the look
of the "perfect body" have now lead to unrealistic expectations of body image for society.
In contrast, researchers have found teenagers to be generally unaffected by these advertisements due to the idea that repeat exposure can create an
immunity to images and messages in advertisements. Some researchers, have concluded that exposure to such advertisements can actually create
higher self–esteem in teenagers. Psychology professors Paul Humphreys and Susan Paxton suggests that young men who view images of idealized men
either feel no different or feel more positive about themselves after viewing such images.

The more television changes, the more it stays the same for the genre of African American sitcoms. Some critics believe that African Americans will
never accept the images they see of themselves on network television. Like whites, African Americans on television sitcoms should be portrayed "in the
full array of cultures that exist in our society." Most likely, the majority of white television viewers see a sitcom as no more than 22 minutes of
broadcast time and eight minutes of commercial intertwined with a laugh track. Nothing serious. But look deeper. For African Americans, sitcoms have

A prime example of this was exhibited during television's early days when "Amos 'n' Andy" aired. In the '50s. The sitcom was based on a "conniving,
grammatically impaired" group of African Americans living in Harlem.
It was the advent of the Civil Rights era that initially brought about some progress with the creation of trend–bucking characters like Diahann Carroll in
"Julia" and Bill Cosby, who parlayed his success in the drama "I Spy" into the first of his own comedy series in the late '60s. In the '70s, "Good
Times" and "The Jeffersons" paved the way toward Cosby's most successful endeavor in the '80s meant to set the tone for future advancement.
Although, throughout the '90s to the present, there have been an increasing number of African American sitcoms in syndication and several actors in
high profile parts on network hits.
So why is there still such a fuss?

The Net Is A Waste Of Time By William Gibson
In his essay "The Net Is a Waste of Time," novelist William Gibson analyzes the hidden potentials of the Internet in both its vastness and affect on
society. He writes this piece at the dawn of the Internet, and during this undeveloped phase, he discusses its multitude of facts as is and will be. As
hinted in the title of his essay, Gibson takes the stance that the Internet at its early stages is a waste of time –– an impressively large and complex waste
of time –– but a waste of time nonetheless. He is ultimately concerned with how we are choosing to procrastinate through the Internet, and that our
growing attachment and dependence on the Internet reveals a "fatal naГЇvetГ©" (697) about us. Gibson also brings up the true enormity of the Web
even at its premature standing, detailing how "the content of the Web aspires the absolute variety. One might find anything there. It is like rummaging
in the forefront of the collective global mind" (697). Despite his concerns on what the Web might become, Gibson realizes that at the time of his
writing, the Web was at a stage much like the larval stage of a butterfly's life –– seems unassuming, but as he himself puts it, "The Web is new, and our
response to it has not yet hardened" (697), and that there are "big changes afoot" (696).

These actors and actresses were paid by the tobacco companies to promote smoking. (Tye, J. 2010) As a result of these actors and actresses
promoting the use of tobacco, many people were encouraged to smoke cigarettes. If one were to ask a person who began using tobacco during this
era why, he or she started to smoke, the answer he or she would give would most likely be, "I wanted to be like John Wayne, or Joan Crawford."
Today the tobacco industry is barred from directly recruiting celebrities to endorse smoking. Therefore, tobacco companies have begun to use
covert advertising in movies. This has proven to be a very profitable tactic for the tobacco companies. Covert advertising in films have helped the
tobacco industry to target new users of tobacco. In this type of advertising cigarette makers receive more advertising time for their money than just a
quick glance of a cigarette pack or an advertising billboard. In almost every movie with covert cigarette advertising, there are scenes in which a few of
the characters smoke; typically these characters are smoking in a manner that glamorizes the use of tobacco. (Tye, J. 2010)

With all this being said there are still people out there who disagree with the notion that children's cartoons are too violent. Some just simply argue
that kids will be kids and that they will kick, hit and yell karate moves whether they watch TV or not (Walsh). Others such as Gerard Jones author of

(Rimensnyder). Jones states that these cartoons allow children to become something that they can't be in everyday life, to leave the real world behind

The Effects Of Sexual Content On Children 's Programming
Sexual Content in Children's Programming Children's programming is beginning to raise a concern among many parents due to sexual content being
included along with other inappropriate scenes like violence, offensive language or verbal abuse. In a news article by Cheryl Wetzstein, she reports
that "one in ten parents agreed that there were "a lot" of good programs on for kids" because all the programs are portraying sexual content or violence
instead of being educational to children (pg. 40). Due to the recent technological advancements, children's media exposure has increased, causing more
children to be bombarded with shows featuring sexual innuendos, sexual activity or adult subtext. Not only is the sexual content being included
frequently in programming, children are facing the content in advertisements as well. An example of this is the advertisement poster for The Lion
King. The film poster features the face of Simba in which many analyzers and parents are pointing out that between the eyes and above the nose
features an image that looks like the "butt of a naked woman" creating a sexualized image some children could pick up on (Fyfe, 2006, pg. 8). Sexual
content throughout children's programming can have both positive and negative effects on the children watching. Many children will become able to

children today are watching more TV than ever before. TV has even become known as "America 's baby–sitter." (Krieg). Meaning that parents are now
using the television as a way of entertaining their children while they attempt to accomplish other things such as cooking and cleaning. Most American
's would agree that children watch a lot of TV. It 's common to see a child sitting in front of the TV on a Saturday morning with their Coco Pebbles
watching their favorite superhero. This sounds harmless enough. However, many parents and teachers across the country are worried about the
cartoons their children are watching. They feel that the cartoons have become too violent and are having negative long–term effects on children. It is
common to see young boys pretending to shoot one another, while jumping on the couch and hiding in closets as a sort of make–believe fort. But
parents say that children are learning these behaviors from cartoons and imitating them. Others however, disagree, they say that violence in cartoons
does not effect children and that children need this world of fantasy in their lives. They say that children would show these same behaviors regardless
of the content of the

Reflection Of Fight Club
Reflection One: Fight Club
Fight Club (1999) is a film directed by David Fincher based on the Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel of the same name. Within popular culture Fight Club
is regarded as a cult–classic and, in my opinion, is both a fantastic novel and film. However, this reflection will primarily analyse Fight Club (1999) the
film adaption rather than Fight Club (1996) the novel. Fight Club is subjected to several different polarising genres throughout its complicated
storyline including social commentary and romance. Within the text, Fight Club comments on absent Father's and suggests that men are being raised
by women and are therefore losing the part of themselves that they find through the fight club. Arguably, Fight Club is hardly ever referenced as a
romance novel, yet the film's plot revolves around the Narrator's love interest Marla Singer and the confusing love triangle that exists between them
and the Narrator's second identity Tyler. Fight Club, however, ignores most conventions of a romance text and instead becomes a blur of genres that
critiques capitalistic society and promotes an anti–materialistic lifestyle.
Fight Club's continuing relevance in contemporary popular culture is primarily attributed to the relatable characteristics that the unnamed Narrator
initially exhibits. Before becoming aware that the Narrator and Tyler Durden are the same person, the majority of viewers relate more to the Narrator
and his admiration of Tyler as the man they aspire to

The Mystery Of The Vampire Diaries

  • 1. The Mystery Of The Vampire Diaries Blood Lust Fact or fiction? For centuries there has been talk but no one has yet to prove that vampires exist. The Vampire Diaries is a series based on novels about supernatural creatures as though it was reality, this series was launched in 2006 by the CW network. This supernatural drama has grasped its viewers and has grown in popularity making it one of the most sought after series. This heart pounding action packed show is now in its seventh season and after losing one of its main characters in season six, The VampireDiaries has not skipped a beat with their ever so exuberant tails. The Vampire Diariesis by far my favorite television series to date because of its post–feminism, erotic love triangle, and the plot is tied with the ongoing mystery of the supernatural creature. Without a doubt this show is directed towards women viewers, not only with its exceedingly handsome actors, but with its insatiable story line. The Vampire Diaries is post–feminist and the network is notoriously known to target young to middle aged women for a majority of their television series. The CW network mentions that it prides itself on being "the only network targeting women aged 18–34" (cw.com). Generating slogans that are specific for this demographic such as "Free To Be" and "TV Now" have helped intrigue that specific audience. "The way the CW network is postfeminist is in line with scholars such as Yvonne Tasker and Diane Negra's use of the term, characterized by a kind of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. Marxism : An Overview Of Marxism Marxism: An Overview Marxism is comparable to Capitalism. Like Capitalism, Marxism strives for the profit–motive. Capitalism is driven by the continuous desire to increase capital (Ott & Mack, 2014). This means that every service exists only to produce profit. Marxism on the other hand produces two classes. The first are owners, and the second are workers. In the case of this paper we will simplify this and categorize the workers as consumers. The Ellen DeGeneres Show is a prime example of Capitalism. As entertaining and popular as the show is, there are a lot of factors that play into the production of the show. We will now examine these factors in depth. Concentration and Conglomeration When watching The Ellen DeGeneres Show, it's hard to realize all the powerhouses, money, and subsidiaries that go on behind the scenes. The Ellen DeGeneres Show debuted on September 8, 2003 ( (Wikipedia, 2015) and today is in its twelve season of production. The show is owned and operated by Time Warner. Time Warner is one of "The Big Six" media giants in the United States. They rank number 156 on Forbes World's Biggest Public Companies (Forbes, 2015). Under the broadcasting and cable industry, Time Warner came in third, just behind Comcast and Disney.

RUKSTAD DAVID COLLIS O The Walt Disney Company: The Entertainment King I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing–that it was all started by a mouse. –Walt Disney The Walt Disney Company's rebirth under Michael Eisner was widely considered to be one of the th great turnaround stories of the late 20 century. When Eisner arrived in 1984, Disney was languishing and had narrowly avoided takeover and dismemberment. By the end of 2000, however, revenues had climbed from $1.65 billion to $25 billion under Eisner, while net earnings had risen from $0.1 billion to $1.2 billion (see Exhibit 1). During Eisner's first 15 years, Disney generated a 27% annual total 1 return to... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The result was Mickey Mouse. When Mickey failed to elicit much interest, Walt tried to attract a distributor by adding synchronized sound–something that had 8,9 never been attempted in a cartoon. His gamble paid off handsomely with the release of Steamboat 10 Willie in 1928. Overnight, Mickey Mouse became an international sensation known variously as "Topolino" (Italy), "Raton Mickey" (Spain), and "Musse Pigg" (Sweden). However, the company was still strapped for cash, so it licensed Mickey Mouse for the cover of a pencil tablet–the first of many such licensing agreements. Over time, as short–term cash problems subsided, Disney began to worry 11 about brand equity and thus licensed its name only to "the best companies." The Disney brothers ran their company as a flat, non–hierarchical organization, in which everyone, including Walt, used their first names and no one had titles. "You don't have to have a title," said 12 Walt. "If you're important to the company, you'll know it." Although a taskmaster driven to achieve creativity and quality, Walt emphasized teamwork, communication, and cooperation. He pushed 13 himself and his staff so hard that he suffered a nervous breakdown in 1931. However, many workers were fiercely committed to the company. Despite winning six Academy Awards and successfully introducing new characters such as Goofy and Donald Duck, Walt realized ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Sexual Videos On Children 's Programming Essay Sexual Referencing in Children's Programming Children's programming is beginning to raise a concern among many parents due to sexual content being involved along with other touchy subjects like violence, offensive language or verbal abuse. Due to the recent technological advancements, children's media exposure has increased causing more children to be bombarded with shows featuring sexual innuendos, activity or adult subtext. Not only is the sexual content being included frequently in programming, children are facing the content in advertisements as well. An example of this is the advertisement poster for The Lion King. The film poster features the face of Simba in which many analyzers and parents are pointing out the nose and between the eyes looks like the "butt of a naked woman" creating a sexual image children could pick up on (Citation). Sexual content in the programming can have both positive and negative effects on the children watching and understanding what is going on in the show or film. While parents have a concern about sexual content being included into programming for children, positive effects should be noticed along with the negative effects being discussed. Much of the sexual content goes unnoticed due to the small hidden images in art or subliminal messages and sexual innuendos. Due to many children being unaware of the effects of media and the content involved, parents should become informed about the types of content in programming, the effects of ...

  • 6. Cartoon Violence Cartoons on a television are glue to children. Children will spend hours a day watching their favorite cartoons, such as "SpongeBob SquarePants" or "Adventure Time." Unfortunately, the content on these shows, and several others, can harm children. Directly, cartoons can affect how children think and act; additionally, this leads to the indirect effect of children physically hurting one another. Children daily see hundreds of violent acts on television. Most parents notice the obvious acts of gore and try to avoid those types of shows; however, what parents do not realize is that cartoons contain just as much, if not more, violence per episode. When parents see shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants," for example, they seem more comical ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Therefore, the children that do become used to the violence do not realize how much they are absorbing, and are thus more likely to keep watching and increase the damage already inflicted onto their minds. Additionally, younger children who watch violent cartoons tend to believe they can mimic what is on screen. A news story in China where children attempted to mimic their favorite cartoon with near fatal consequences reads: "The Li brothers' tragedy began one fine April afternoon with a bit of play–acting. When 10–year–old Shun Shun ran into eight–year–old Li Haoran and his little brother Li Hao, four, just outside of their village of Mawang, near Lianyungang in Jiangsu province, the three friends decided to play a game. They would act out the big wolf roasting the lamb – an idea the boys later said they got from the popular children's television series Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. Taking the role of wolf, Shun Shun used some scrap cloth he found nearby to tie the two brothers to a tree. After piling some dried leaves around their feet, he set it alight. Within minutes, strong gusts of wind blew the fire out of control. The terrified Shun Shun ran away, leaving the Li boys screaming for help. A passing villager heard their cries and rushed to help. But by the time flames were put out, the brothers were severely burned. The boys were rushed to the county hospital and transferred on the same night to a city hospital, which had better facilities.

Another round of must see Felicity, Friends, and Frasier, with a side of ER and some Nash Bridges for dessert. Loads and loads of Caucasian males and females making us laugh, and cry. What you do not see are Black, Hispanic, or other minorities making us laugh, and cry. In this day and age, where everyone gets a fair shot at doing what they really love, the same can not be said for minorities in the film industry. More and more minorities are being turn away in favor of Caucasian actors. It's not only actors that are feeling the pinch, its also writers, directors, producers, and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Take these examples from Entertainment Weekly: 1.NBC, the only network to make a profit last year, also boasts the whitest programming. 2.The WB's Felicity draws similar numbers of 18– to 49– year–olds as the net's two highest– rated black series, The Steve Harvey Show and The Jamie Foxx Show. But last season, Felicity commanded about $80,000 per 30 second commercial while The Steve Harvey Show and The Jamie Foxx Show each drew less than $40,000 for an equivalent spot. 3.The WB lost 20 percent of its black 18– to 49–year–old viewers last season yet will earn record ad revenue this fall.The facts do not lie and it's a wonder why none of the ad execs EW interviewed would go on record. Because the position they are defending is borderline racist: White viewers are worth more than black viewers, they won't talk about it. And the studios share a similarly narrow view: Networks generate less ad money from "black" shows, so they pay less to the studio. Plus potential revenue from reruns and international sales of black series are smaller. Second excuse is the plethora of networks today. Back in the old days there were only three broadly programmed networks. That all changed in the late 80's with the launch of Fox, a network that found early success targeting minorities with shows like "In Living Color" and "Martin".

Against this backdrop of television that no longer boasts cinematic style but individuality, Mad Men fails to announce itself as a piece of quality television, this individuality could be compared to that of the auteur status in cinema except not of a person but of the television show as a whole, something that has personality and flair in the sense of itself.

With the case of CW, dividing the responsibilities between the former WB and former UPN networks was also a major challenge, in addition to deciding which shows from each network would continue. Distribution is the primary concern, as it's important for the network, especially a new one, to reach as much of the country as possible.

The show also fit with the target demographic of females between 18–34 years old. 7th Heaven, being the network's longest running show, was also the longest–running family drama in history. While the show was quite expensive to produce, there were available cuts that could be made to keep the show's cost on par with the other three. 4.First, Veronica Mars would be placed after Gilmore Girls on Tuesdays due to the similar viewers and also the similarity of the protagonists of the shows.

That's one of the scary things about today's Disney: The company has grown so big and its problems are so far–reaching––ranging from the phenomenon of "age compression" to the explosion of media choices––that they can't be fixed by a couple of hit movies or TV shows or more Disney stores. The other scary thing is this: Disney seems less able than ever to cope with adversity. That's because Eisner, for all his creativity and charisma and grand plans, presides over an insular––some say arrogant––corporate culture where decision–making is hierarchical, centralized, and slow. It's an utter mismatch for the Internet age. "This isn't Mickey's house anymore," says a former Disney insider. "It's a multibillion–dollar company." Eisner does have a plan. He is cutting costs and reengineering a company that got bloated with success. He's making overseas growth a top priority. He wants Disney to be an Internet giant, taking on Yahoo and America Online.

Ageism : Theories, Research, And Implications Marcus Cai 996–92–6434 Ageism: Theories, Research, and Implications Section 1: General Topic If there is prejudice against people of different cultures, sexual orientation, and class, it is no surprise that there is also prejudgment towards people based on their age. Ageism, coined by Robert Neil Butler is the discrimination against groups or individuals on the basis of their age. As it was discussed in Todd Nelson's "Ageism: the Strange Case of Prejudice Against the Older you", there are lot of factors on why people may have certain prejudicial attitudes towards the elderly. It could all be sourced from the society's perspective on change, fear of death, institutionalization of ageism, etc. Since the study of age prejudice is fairly new and constantly expanding, researchers are still finding new discoveries on factors regarding ageism (Nelson, 2011, p. 37). Studies done by Lee, Carpenter, and Meyers suggests that television advertisements may alter the viewers attitudes about older adults by portraying them a certain way. These findings are important because among all forms of media, television is perhaps the most pervasive in society (Lee et al., 2006). Another study, "the role of individual difference variables in ageism" reveals that empathy traits, personality traits, and gratitude have influence on ageist beliefs. The researchers claim it may be crucial in weeding out certain characteristics of people who may show age ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Under the Federal Communications Act of 1934 and subsequent legislation and court decisions? broadcasting was to serve the "public interest, convenience, and necessity, ascribing certain democratic functions to the media? (Gseis.ucla.edu). The press and then the broadcast media were thus to provide information, ideas, and debate concerning issues of public significance in order to promote a democratic public sphere. Broadcasting was conceived as a public utility, with the airwaves established as part of the public domain, subject to regulation by the government to assure that broadcasting would meet its democratic responsibilities.

However, as soon as the show debuted, it began drawing criticism from various organizations for its allegedly negative portrayal of American Americans, (Rice, 2009). An example of this criticism came from a bulletin issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on August 15, 1951, entitled "Why The Amos and Andy Show Should be Taken Off the Air", (Rice, 2009). Some of the accusations included "Every character in this one and only TV show with an all Negro cast is either a clown or a crook" (Rice, 2009), "Negro doctors are shown as quacks and thieves" (Rice, 2009), and "It tends to strengthen the conclusion among uniformed and prejudiced people that Negros are inferior, lazy, dumb, and dishonest" (Rice, 2009).

Television has the power to influence American culture in many ways. For example, the images, which are presented on television, become what individuals expect in the real world. As negative images, or images misrepresenting African Americans are projected; the mass culture has a greater tendency to accept the false images as the truth. It is important for Americans to examine the basis of the expectations they have from television sitcoms and be careful in accepting its relation to the real world. The conclusions Americans of all races draw from this are important in lowering the stereotypes on television and the interaction between all individuals. With the 1980's came a new portrayal of African American's on television. Shows such as The Cosby Show depicted African American's with middle–class lifestyles.

This is due to the fact that thousands of advertisements contain messages about physical attractiveness and beauty. Examples include: commercials for clothes, cosmetics, weight loss, hair removal, laser surgery and physical fitness. The effects of advertising on body image have been studied by researchers, psychologists, marketing professionals and more. Researchers, Mary Martin and James Gentry found that teen directed advertising negatively impacts self–esteem. The advertising industry is setting unrealistic expectations for teens about their physical appearances by using models with "perfect bodies." The modeling industry today has put many pressures on models, causing them disorders of both mental and physical illness. These disorders then creating the look of the "perfect body" have now lead to unrealistic expectations of body image for society. In contrast, researchers have found teenagers to be generally unaffected by these advertisements due to the idea that repeat exposure can create an immunity to images and messages in advertisements. Some researchers, have concluded that exposure to such advertisements can actually create higher self–esteem in teenagers.

A prime example of this was exhibited during television's early days when "Amos 'n' Andy" aired. In the '50s.

It was the advent of the Civil Rights era that initially brought about some progress with the creation of trend–bucking characters like Diahann Carroll in "Julia" and Bill Cosby, who parlayed his success in the drama "I Spy" into the first of his own comedy series in the late '60s. In the '70s, "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons" paved the way toward Cosby's most successful endeavor in the '80s meant to set the tone for future advancement. Although, throughout the '90s to the present, there have been an increasing number of African American sitcoms in syndication and several actors in high profile parts on network hits.

  • 26. The Role of Media in Youth Culture in Contemporary Society A $150 billion dream is how the demographic of teens is described in PBS' "Merchants of Cool". The role that society has given to the media to dictate youth culture has become one of the most lucrative conquests corporations are battling over today. Much like empires throughout history, media empires today have found their 'Africa'. This paper is an examination of this silent, bloodless conquest through two different sociological lenses. First we will consider the effect of media in youth's culture using functional theory. Stating the primary assumptions valuable in studying the effects of media on youth and youth culture.

The businesses involved in this promoting system would is enormous. MTV then cross–promotes with other unrelated businesses like, for example, Sprite. Sprite provides a venue for the music, MTV broadcasts the artist performing and in doing so, promotes the artist that has been systematically chosen to promote. Two separate business entities interdependent of each other to accrue profit. But these businesses are not trying to reach an equilibrium or ideal plateau as this theoretical model employs. This is where the functional approach's flaw lays; the definition of cool is always changing and therefore the industry must be always be changing not trying to stay the same. The second theoretical perspective to be examined is Symbolic Interactionism. This American–based perspective states that society and social structures are creations of interacting people and can therefore be changed (Ravelli & Webber, 2010, p. 56). Here, again, lie fundamental properties the symbolic interactionist would assume. Firstly, society is in constant evolution. This is a crucial point to make when studying the effects of media on young people and their unyielding need to be 'cool' because 'cool' is constantly evolving and changing. One must understand this to understand that meeting the objective of selling 'cool', requires constant examination of the product's perception to it's targeted demographic.

  • 27. The Net Is A Waste Of Time By William Gibson In his essay "The Net Is a Waste of Time," novelist William Gibson analyzes the hidden potentials of the Internet in both its vastness and affect on society. He writes this piece at the dawn of the Internet, and during this undeveloped phase, he discusses its multitude of facts as is and will be. As hinted in the title of his essay, Gibson takes the stance that the Internet at its early stages is a waste of time –– an impressively large and complex waste of time –– but a waste of time nonetheless. He is ultimately concerned with how we are choosing to procrastinate through the Internet, and that our growing attachment and dependence on the Internet reveals a "fatal naГЇvetГ©" (697) about us. Gibson also brings up the true enormity of the Web even at its premature standing, detailing how "the content of the Web aspires the absolute variety. One might find anything there. It is like rummaging in the forefront of the collective global mind" (697). Despite his concerns on what the Web might become, Gibson realizes that at the time of his writing, the Web was at a stage much like the larval stage of a butterfly's life –– seems unassuming, but as he himself puts it, "The Web is new, and our response to it has not yet hardened" (697), and that there are "big changes afoot" (696). Gibson acknowledges the Internet as "a procrastinator 's dream" (698) in both a positive and negative light. On the upside, as said earlier, he recognizes how amazingly vast the Net is and how it ...

(Tye, J. 2010) As a result of these actors and actresses promoting the use of tobacco, many people were encouraged to smoke cigarettes. If one were to ask a person who began using tobacco during this era why, he or she started to smoke, the answer he or she would give would most likely be, "I wanted to be like John Wayne, or Joan Crawford." Today the tobacco industry is barred from directly recruiting celebrities to endorse smoking. Therefore, tobacco companies have begun to use covert advertising in movies. This has proven to be a very profitable tactic for the tobacco companies. Covert advertising in films have helped the tobacco industry to target new users of tobacco. In this type of advertising cigarette makers receive more advertising time for their money than just a quick glance of a cigarette pack or an advertising billboard. In almost every movie with covert cigarette advertising, there are scenes in which a few of the characters smoke; typically these characters are smoking in a manner that glamorizes the use of tobacco.

These shows tend to contain the same amount of violence as their videogame processors and are much cheaper to produce (Rutenberg). Yet these Anime shows are getting the same TV ratings as other less violent cartoons. With all this being said there are still people out there who disagree with the notion that children's cartoons are too violent. Some just simply argue that kids will be kids and that they will kick, hit and yell karate moves whether they watch TV or not (Walsh). Others such as Gerard Jones author of "Killing Monsters: Why Children need Fantasy, Super Heroes and Make–Believe Violence," state that these cartoons actually help children (Rimensnyder). Jones states that these cartoons allow children to become something that they can't be in everyday life, to leave the real world behind for a while to satisfy their own curiosity. Children can project themselves onto these superheroes and this lets them become powerful for a few minuets in a world that gives no power to children (Rimensnyder). Jones also goes on to say that the reason why society is so against these violent cartoons is because we think it will eliminate real life violence (Rimensnyder).

Review of Related Literature Throughout history most of Asia has been viewed as strange and exotic by western cultures. This is especially true for Japan, because, unlike other Asian nations Japan was isolated from western culture until around the year 1542 when the Portuguese landed at Tanegashima (Bryant 14). There are several reasons for Japan's solitude, most of them geographical. One of the primary reasons is what the Japanese call kamikaze, or divine wind (Bryant 24). These strong stormy winds blew across the waters surrounding Japan, making it quite difficult to approach the island. Japan is also quite far away from most western nations, especially since the ships had to sail around Africa to get to it. When the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 38. The Effects Of Sexual Content On Children 's Programming Sexual Content in Children's Programming Children's programming is beginning to raise a concern among many parents due to sexual content being included along with other inappropriate scenes like violence, offensive language or verbal abuse. In a news article by Cheryl Wetzstein, she reports that "one in ten parents agreed that there were "a lot" of good programs on for kids" because all the programs are portraying sexual content or violence instead of being educational to children (pg. 40). Due to the recent technological advancements, children's media exposure has increased, causing more children to be bombarded with shows featuring sexual innuendos, sexual activity or adult subtext. Not only is the sexual content being included frequently in programming, children are facing the content in advertisements as well. An example of this is the advertisement poster for The Lion King. The film poster features the face of Simba in which many analyzers and parents are pointing out that between the eyes and above the nose features an image that looks like the "butt of a naked woman" creating a sexualized image some children could pick up on (Fyfe, 2006, pg. 8). Sexual content throughout children's programming can have both positive and negative effects on the children watching.

  • 40. Reflection Of Fight Club Reflection One: Fight Club Fight Club (1999) is a film directed by David Fincher based on the Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel of the same name. Within popular culture Fight Club is regarded as a cult–classic and, in my opinion, is both a fantastic novel and film. However, this reflection will primarily analyse Fight Club (1999) the film adaption rather than Fight Club (1996) the novel. Fight Club is subjected to several different polarising genres throughout its complicated storyline including social commentary and romance. Within the text, Fight Club comments on absent Father's and suggests that men are being raised by women and are therefore losing the part of themselves that they find through the fight club. Arguably, Fight Club is hardly ever referenced as a romance novel, yet the film's plot revolves around the Narrator's love interest Marla Singer and the confusing love triangle that exists between them and the Narrator's second identity Tyler. Fight Club, however, ignores most conventions of a romance text and instead becomes a blur of genres that critiques capitalistic society and promotes an anti–materialistic lifestyle. Fight Club's continuing relevance in contemporary popular culture is primarily attributed to the relatable characteristics that the unnamed Narrator initially exhibits. Before becoming aware that the Narrator and Tyler Durden are the same person, the majority of viewers relate more to the Narrator and his admiration of Tyler as the man they aspire to ...
