- ... regulated(Microsoft Encarta 95)." CENSORSHIP OF OBSCENITY "The beginning of a new legal approach may be traced to the action of the federal courts in the 1930s, when they held that Irish author James Joyce's Ulysses was not obscene and could be freely passed through customs. The courts ruled that the use of "dirty words" in "a sincere and honest book" did not make the book "dirty." Since the 1950s ... WHO DOES TELEVISION CENSORSHIP EFFECT?

- 20963: Movie Review: Sense and Sensibility
- Movie Review: Sense and Sensibility Ang Lee, who directed, and Emma Thompson, who adapted the screenplay, have done an excellent job of bringing Jane Austen's Victorian novel, Sense and Sensibility, to the movie screen. The movie's collection of actors are a joy to watch as they bring out the emotions of an otherwise polite and reserved era in time. The production work is top notch with bright, cascading photography that sets a romantic "I wish I was there" setting. The purpose of the Sense and Sensibility is to bring out the romance in all of us and show us that Austen's philosophy of love exists today as much as it did two centuries ago. Sense and Sensibility could rightly be classified as a love story, but that would just scratch the surface of what this ...

- 20965: Macbeth: Contrast of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth
- ... and does not even want to finish it off, saying he is afraid of what he had done. Once again Macbeth needs a stiff speech from Lady Macbeth to talk him into it anew. Macbeth’s wearisome attitude is clearly shown and contrasted to Lady Macbeth’s strong eagerness. After the sin has been committed Macbeth is in utter shock, and although not sudden, his state of mind slowly disintegrates.

- 20967: Blood, Violence and Gore As Entertainment
- ... man people have used violence for entertainment. In Rome they had the Colluseum, nowadays we have the cinema. Violent films are being produced all the time, no one seems to care. Even though there aren't many people who are harmed from these films, there are a lot of children who do. It is a question of separating reality and fiction, and that is a problem for many children. After the Superman films in the 1980's, there were a series of children jumping off tall buildings, because they though they were Superman. As you grow older, this doesn't seem to be a problem any longer, even though there have been incidents were adults have started to kill people after watching a violent film. An example of this is the controversial film Natural ...

- 20970: Reasons For The Downfall Of Ma
- The idea of love affairs, lovers, mistresses, gloomy forests, broken hearts, horses ridden to death, killed couriers, and virtuous men were responsible for Emma Bovary's ultimate ruin. When these stories were read to Emma during her time at the convent it was at a time of her life when she was in school learning. Things made bigger impressions on her than they would have at other stages in her life. Psychologically, Emma problem was partly caused because of a term called a "critical period". A critical period is a point in a child's life when what they have learned, such as handwriting or an accent probably will not change considerably afterwards. Emma had read he books when she was still learning, but had reached her critical period before she could learn about actually reality. The other girls didn't have this problem.
