- 261: Who Is Raising The Chindren
- ... simply trying to achieve minimal income, parents don t have enough time to dedicate strictly to their children. Parents are having to rely on other resources to develop their child s mind. All too often, television has become the new baby-sitter for today s youth. This generation of children is watching more hours per day than any generation before it. In order to achieve higher ratings and a larger audience, television is pushing the limits of behavior and morality. When children are left with television as their main influence, a child does not receive a proper sense of reality. The examples of adult behavior they see are distorted. Violent behavior, disrespect for others, and authority are glamorized by the ...
- 262: PORONO IN THE MEDIA
- Pornography in the Media It started by way of messengers and scribes, evolved through the presentation of newspapers and radio, brought us together with television, and now serves us world-wide via the ever-popular Internet. It is the mass media, and even from the earliest days of its existence, it has contributed greatly in ways that both enlighten and ... is broadcast or transmitted in the news today is with reference to the chaotic condition of our planet, or something else that society as a whole sees as detrimental or damaging. But the news on television is not the only type of media taking the criticism of society. Other forms of mass media, specifically movies and television programs containing pornography and violence have been heavily criticized. The underlining concept to be debated here is that society is negatively influenced, specifically, by these images of pornography and the result is increased violence ...
- 263: Sex In Society
- Sex in Society Sex plays a major role in today's society. From television, radio, music, and advertisements, to video games, the Internet, and even art and pictures, all forms of media use sex to help sell their products. With the public being exposed to so many different types ... in early adolescence, children develop their own ideas of male and female roles with the perception of the conduct and activities of his or her parents and other adults in their world, including characters on television. Young people are exposed to advertising from a very early age. The effect, says the Ontario Ministry of Education, especially of advertising on television, "has a significant bearing on girls' and boys' behaviour, and their aspirations. To most children the commercial message is another piece of information received from the television set. It is often difficult for them ...
- 264: Private Cable TV
- ... in Germany. It is only in 1945, after the second world war, that The Ordinance formalized the state monopoly of broadcasting which was assigned to Radiodiffusion de France. The Radiodiffusion de France has then included television in 1959 and became RTF (Radiodiffusion-Television de France). Established as a public company accountable to the Ministery of Information, RTF became an "Office" (ORTF) still supervised by the government. The events that happened in France in May 1968, have then helped ... refound the right to broadcast under the respective name La Cinq and M6. At this time, it already existed five public channels : TF1 (which is since 1987 privatized), A2 (rebaptised France 2 a generalist broadcasting television), FR3 (today called France 3, a national and regional TV), TV 5 Europe (European channel launched in 1983, transmits programmes broadcast in French-speaking countries by satellite) and RFO (transmits radio and TV programmes ...
- 265: Deceptive Advertising
- ... constant advertising messages being flashed before my eyes, I am always wary of the truth of those messages that I see. It is terrible when consumers see an advertisement, whether it is in a magazine, television or any other medium, and they decide to make a purchase only to find out they are not getting what they originally planned or have to pay more than they had expected. Deceptive advertisements have ... deceived through their ads. Deceptive advertising can be described as “advertising which is misleading in a material aspect.” (Simon 256) This definition would include all the false and misleading advertisements that would appear in print, television, radio, outdoor and direct mailings. As well as more non-traditional forms of advertising like transportation ads along with the use of pictures, trade names, display materials, labels, sales talks, sales letters, price lists and ... the ad failed to show the terms of the lease in a clear manner that the consumer could reasonably understand. Grey Advertising had prepared and disseminated three lease advertisements for Mitsubishi in which two were television ads and the third being a print ad. The first television ad is as follows: (Audio) “Lease for zero down and just two forty-nine a month for thirty-six months.” (Video) “MITSUBISHI GALANT ...
- 266: Knowledge
- ... is not quite as important as some of the others. Education is vital in life, but mere facts cannot aid in the solution to all problems. Another source of knowledge is entertainment, such as in television, movies, books, or even music. Certain types of entertainment can even be education. For example, television shows such as “20/20” or “DateLine” are both very informative shows, but interesting enough to entertain the public. Entertainment can be tricky, though. The media can convince us, even brainwash us, to believe certain truths that may not be accurate. The television shows we watch and the music that we listen to are huge daily influences on our lives. They help shape the way we think, what we know, and what we feel. We follow the ...
- 267: Violence
- ... enjoy violence, one must be able to distinguish between what is real and what is not (Hinson 587). Another essay, this one entitled "Popcorn Violence," illustrates how the type of violence seen in film and television is completely different than real life violence. The author, Roger Rosenblatt, describes how young children can be exposed to screen violence early on in life, yet the type of violence is so fictional that the connection between what is seen on television and what goes on out in the streets is never made. The example Rosenblatt uses to illustrate this point is wrestling. In professional wrestling there are good guys, such as Hulk Hogan and Randy "Macho ... to deal with everyday. Rosenblat says that men don't take violence in films seriously (Rosenblatt 592). We know that Schwartzenager is fake, and that there is no Rambo. Unfortunately, there is some evidence that television and movies are schools for violence. In the book Children in Front of the Small Screen by Grant Noble, results from tests show that young children will imitate that which they see on screen. ...
- 268: Pornography
- ... more common than ever before. Almost every movie with an "R" rating will have at least one sex scene. Even Forrest Gump, a highly acclaimed movie, had a sexual act and nudity involved. Also public television has been known to show nudity and sex. Allusions are made to sex in every part of our life. Work, school, sports, and recreation are all forums through which unhealthy sexual views are expressed. One of the more predominant and obvious forums for the proliferation of unhealthy sexual desires is pornography. Pornography is displaying the human body in a perverse, sexual way. It can be found in film, magazine, television, on CD-ROM, and even the internet, and can range from "soft-core", depicting natural poses and action, to "hard-core", or depicting sex combined with violence, that any reasonable, decent, well-adjusted human being ... Pornography can be bought at many "adult" or "adult novelty" shops. One only has to listen to any popular local radio station after 8 P.M. to hear strings of advertisements for local pornographic outlets. Television advertisements are shown also, but not as often as on the radio. Pornography is so socially acceptable in today's society, that it is protected by the same amendment to the constitution that allows ...
- 269: Cover Girl Cosmetics
- ... is almost impossible. It really doesn’t matter how many Cover Girl products you purchase, you can’t have you face and body perfect, and no one is perfect. In the magazines and advertisements on television they use something-called airbrush and special affects. In magazines they airbrush all the flaws from the models by covering them. In the television commercials they use special affects to make their bodies look perfect by using other peoples body parts on the model. One of advertising’s “unintended effect” is the impact of highly attractive models have on ... women because of reinforcing a preoccupation with physical appearances. Physical attractiveness begins to bother pre-adolescent girls beginning in the fifth grade. At this age, young women derive their self-concept primarily on physical appearance. Television and magazine articles show the type of appearance that is nearly impossible for one to portray. The social comparison theory is a big issue today for men and women of all ages, due to ...

- ... farm equipment rather than passenger vehicles. The USSR in 1984 produced 1.3 million trucks and cars, 564,000 tractors, and 118,000 combine harvesters. In the consumer sphere, it put out 8.6 million television sets (all of them in defense-industrial plants), 5.7 million home refrigerators, and 68.1 million watches; it also produced the most textiles and footwear of any country in the world. It ranked first ... and Izvestiya (News), published by the Soviet parliament, at 10.4 million. The Soviet Union’s 5400 periodicals and 81,600 new books in 1988 reached more select readerships. The Soviet Union’s radio and television broadcasters were under the jurisdiction of the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting. The two national television networks, Radio Moscow, and about 5300 local stations and transmitters made broadcasts in 72 languages. Radios were found in most Soviet homes by the 1950s, and television ...
