For example, phones today have the capacity to make call, internet connection, mp3 players, and GPS navigation among other features. Rust et al (2006) explain that there are various reasons that have motivated manufacturers to adopt this strategy. First of all, manufacturers aim ...

Response to Michelle Lagos’ Post

The post was highly commendable given the extensive depth of the comments that delve into people being seen as voluntary oppressors. Likewise, the selection of support through other sources provided validations to the contentions. One strongly agrees with the assertions that diverse forms of media, particularly through the television, allegedly put people into submissive trance to accept the information being proposed. Television shows were noted to insulate viewers from harsh realities of life and provide an effective escape to reality. In addition, the proliferation of surveillance systems and applications in various sectors compromise the privacy and confidentiality of the ...

Summary and Response Practice #2

In “Why We Love TV’s Anti-Heroes,” Stephen Garrett argues that the actual nature of the hero has changed over the past few decades, and as a result the protagonists that we embrace are largely different as well. Arguing that “the heroes of today are radically different from those of two or three decades ago [and that t]hey have evolved to represent a radically changed world,” (Garrett, p. 319) Garrett claims that empathy is more important than respect when it comes to choosing a hero to emulate. Consider the highly popular program House, M.D. Thirty years ago, the hero of the ...

Consciously or subconsciously, children tend to imitate behaviors, by inculcating to their own personalities features “borrowed” from the ones they identify as models. Such models can be their parents or relatives, either characters they see on TV or on video games. Children’s exposure to violent TV programs or video games may influence their behavior and personalities, making children more aggressive.

Watching violent programs on TV on a regular basis may create the idea for children that violence is a normal behavior and attitude and a viable solution for solving problems (“Children and TV Violence”). Moreover, because childhood represents a sensitive period, ...

The Spiral of Silence was a theory created by Dr. Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, a German political analyst in 1974. The theory is based on the public opinion; as Neumann suggests, people are more confident in voicing out their opinions if they know that their own opinion matches the opinion of the majority. In some cases, if the opinions bare quite different than that of the majority, people refuse to voice out their opinions and remain silent (Donsbach, Salmon and Tsfati, 2014).

Those people who belong to the minority are afraid to voice out their views for the fear of being socially isolated ...

The Economist’ article that I have chosen for my presentation is related to the largest media company in Brazil called Globo. As Brazil is currently hosting the World Football Championship, you might assume that the TV viewing must increase dramatically during this period; however, it is not the case. Globo channels are viewed by 91 million people on a daily basis; that is almost a half of the entire population. In the United States, for instance, the only network which has won the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl can have such an audience once a year. Globo Group is a large media ...

I disagree with my classmates who claim that watching television cannot make one smarter. This is because television is informative and tends to educate a person on the realities of the world.

The Sleeper’s curve is a new force that alters the mental development of children to benefit their cognitive faculties. The media show violence, ethnic stereotypes, and stories of addiction not to promote bad behavior but to enlighten the young people. These kinds of programs are nutritional and ...

The Rogers media company has a magazine product which TSN does not have. It is true that sports are a product that consumers love and want the best and quality products. Advertisers also look for companies with strong sporting products and have huge customer base ( ...

It is needless to say that media has always been a tool in the hand of politicians. Newspapers, radio and television were used to deliver the governmental point of view to broad masses.

In a recent article, Dana Stevens has criticized Steven Johnson’s thesis ‘The Sleeper Curve’. She has expressed her viewpoint mentioning that, watching TV teaches people to watch more TV; unlike Johnson’s belief that TV has become more complicated in the last two decades.

However, this complicated development of TV shows does not make people smarter is the author’s claim.

Stevens has pointed out the loopholes of ‘The Sleeper Curve’ thesis. She indicates that Johnson has dismissed the controversies of ...

I would like to present my point of view in favor of “The Sleeper Curve” and Johnson’s Thesis, that watching TV is making people smarter, pay attention to it, make them relate with characters, adapt certain gestures and linguistics into their daily lives. One of my experiences is with the most famous TV show “Game of Thrones”. Beginning from its title song sequence, ending with every minute detail on the story line, everything is brilliant. It has created a permanent impact on so many millions of people. I would like to mention a few major factors which make ...

During this time, television broadcasting had not heated up and by 1930s; ...

TV advertisements are the parts of programming which are usually skipped over. Personally, when I see them is usually when I turn the volume down and interest myself with something else until my desired programming return? So watching four hours of television with the intention of noticing the ads was informative, and it said a lot both about advertising companies, the corporations that they work with and the society that they are marketing to. There is such a vast variety of TV commercials that it is difficult to make overarching conclusions about them. But as a person watches and notices, certain patterns ...

Summarizing Brian’s position I would like to point out his main statement that Internet causes a big damage for social life of young generation. In my opinion it is not so straightforward. In general I think the question he raises is not groundless but I think that a Internet is very important these days. We have to remember that Internet facilitates connections between people who live in different places and do not have a chance to meet often. Brian claims that spending time with friends in person is rather a rare phenomenon nowadays because social networks swallowed up the communication between young ...

McLuhan’s key conceptual theories to understanding electronic media were that the medium which is the message is an extension of the self (Television enables “far-seeing”, telephone enables “far-hearing”) (Gitelman, 25).

James bought Popcorns in China. Does this imply that these Popcorns came from America? This is not necessary the case. However, a majority of us view America as cultural imperialism. Fundamentally, this implies that emerging nations are acclimatizing to the American way of life.

In my opinion, Americans have tried to impose their culture to the whole world, through their items. In other words, Americans have tried to make other nations to adjust to their culture ...

The use of this system provided AHS with a competitive advantage but later became a liability after the ...

1. The topic of violence in the media is an issue, as presented by the articles and their opposing viewpoints. This is evidenced by the fact that there is no clear cut determination of whether or not violence in real life is tied to media violence.

As the discussion is about the role of media in real life violence, this is what makes it an issue. At the same time, the idea of violence itself is considered a problem implicit ...
