His character appealed to everyone from school children ... for the WWF this newfound popularity has also brought new problems. These new problems are lawsuits, brought about by the parents of children who are injured while “wrestling”. While the shows are rated “PG14” on television parents still allow their young children to watch. Is this the WWF’s fault or parents not supervising? One lawsuit occurred last year, where a 10 year-old child killed his younger brother after he ...
- 553: My Role As A Pastoral Counselor
- ... into action. The first thing people need in any conflict is time. We live in a fast, fast world. We see solutions arrived to every problem possible in twenty minutes or less every day on television. While our gut knows this is unreasonable, our mind desires what have been portrayed for hours upon hours, years upon years, and decade upon decade through the television media. Often the solution to many marriage and child rearing conflicts is time. I'm not saying time heals all wounds, but I'm reminding us that solutions to complex problems usually take a certain ...
- 554: Cuban Revolution
- ... this time the Cubans knew that a violent revolution was unavoidable. The police under Batista fiercely put down a student protest on November 27, 1955 with beatings. Later during a baseball game being broadcasted on television, students showed anti-Batista banners, which led to a demonstration that was also put down by the police. In another demonstration, they killed a popular student, Ciego de Ávila. His funeral on December 10 turned ... chosen to fill this position for the rest of Cuba's history. Castro also envisioned a moral society in which everyone acted humanely with respect to others. He believed in freedom of the press (without television and radio, the revolution would have never gained support from the middle class in Cuba) and direction of justice through the courts. After working with the peasants, Guevara thought of himself as an "agrarian revolutionary ...

- 556: Pleasantville and The Scarlet Letter
- ... generations apart, they share similar illusions of society, and judgments or actions from society. Both societies had their strict visions of a Utopia. Pleasantville was a society based on a classic, but unrealistic, 1950’s television show, where everything is perfect, and every day is the same. It was their perfect and pleasant utopia. The Scarlet Letter’s Utopia followed the Puritan’s strict beliefs and the people never sinned. These utopias were totally unnatural and unreal, which is logical considering Pleasantville was not natural, it was a television show, created by producers, and was black and white. The Puritans utopia was unreal, as the towns people lied uncontrollably and sinned in secret. It was also based on religious writings, the Bible, which was ...

- ... materials is suppression of creative thought. Books and periodicals are not the only things being suppressed by pressures to the political and social systems.

What they read does not necessarily mean that they will follow it. Literature is a valued source of knowledge ...

- ... Sullivan. The first show was scheduled for Sunday, February 9, the second was telecast from Miami a week later, and the third pre-taped for an airing in March. These concerts were the most watched television programs ever (70 million viewers) until recently. The Beatles' arrival in the United States was presaged by a deluge of advance publicity.

- ... as well. That shows our freedom to decide not to listen to him. The freedom that he claims we have lost due to technology ruling the law. Electronic surveillance, police forces, propaganda we see on television, what's this world coming to?
