Televised Violence Is Here To Stay
.... their world. It serves as a mirror in which people examine themselves,
their institutions, and their values (Comstock 357).
The exposure of children to televised violence is functional to the
extent that it prepares them to cope with reality. Conflict is important for
children to grow up with. It is part of their life. Kids should not be lead to
think that nothing is going to happen to them (Comstock 354). Exposure to
violence in childhood is not a bad idea. Ghetto children see violence unknown to
other children. They have to live with it, and because it is so hateful, they do
not get influenced by it. People who grew .....

Julius Ceasar: Overview
.... armies arrive.
Antony and his partner challenge the assassins to fight, and the bloody
battle begins. The armies of the conspirators fall into vulnerability many
times, and their side does poorly, losing many men. Cassius hears
mistakenly that one of his important soldiers has been captured, loses hope,
and commits suicide, while Brutus feels that his army has been cornered,
and throws himself onto another man's sword, killing himself also. They
call off the rest of the battle, for Antony's army now had victory over
Brutus and Cassius, Caesar's murder had been avenged, and order had been
restored.

The Chamber: A Look Into The Novel And Film
.... the Klan. "The second member of the team was a
Klansman by the name of Sam Cayhall," "The FBI knew that Cayhall's father had
been a Klansman, . . . " (Grisham 2-3). Sam, who is brought up under the
influence of the Ku Klux Klan, uses "politically incorrect" terms for other
minorities when he talks with Adam Cayhall in death row. " ‘ You Jew boys never
quit, do you?' ", " ‘ How many nigger partners do you have?' " " ‘ Just great.
The Jew bastards have sent a greenhorn to save me. I've known for a long time
that they secretly wanted me dead, now this proves it. I killed some Jews, now
they want to kill me. I was right all along.' " .....

Crime Films
.... of abstract rules that allows the public to informally
categorize films. These rules must be viewed from an flexible point of view in
order to legitimize their future existence. By using this method of
categorizing films the public is able to decide which films they wish to see and
those they do not. Some people love musicals and if they were to go to one and
find there was no music or dance they might not be too pleased. The concept of
genre is one that may provide benefit to the viewers but at the same time may
also present problems for the directors who must compromise their artistic
aspirations. Examples of this can be see .....

Television Soaps: The Cultural Construction Of Gender And Representation
.... are feminine, males
masculine. There has been one exception, which was Kylie Minogue's character,
Charlene, on Neighbours. She was a mechanic and tomboy. This is one of the few
occasions where a soap has interrogated the cultural construction of gender and
representation of identity.
A music video is footage that accompanies a song. They can have a
storyline related to the song, displays of images or simply focusing on the
artist/s performing. Music video is forever crossing the lines of gender and
identity. It is able to do this as it is seen as a form of art, therefore there
is no threat to viewers. It is ironic th .....

Movie: Dead Poet's Society - The Dead Poet That Killed Himself
.... a bell rings, you must
go to class. When a teacher assigns homework, you do it. No questions asked. No
individual thought. The only marrow that should be sucked out of a students life
is that of education. That, after all, is why they are in school. To learn and
no other reason.
In the end, it should be noted that although Mr. Keating's teaching
philosophy was debunked, he made one good point. Neil should have spoken to his
parents. Neil's case is a perfect example of a mind not ready for independent
thought. A mind without discipline. His parents tried to give him direction and
a better life than they had. Neil rewarded them by .....

The Direct And Indirect Impact Of Rhetoric In The Color Purple
.... wife a good beating.” Albert Johnson does not even realize how important
Celie is to him until she is gone. At that point he returns some of the love
that is shown to him by helping Nettie and her family to return to the United
States in order to see Celie. This action shows the impact of Mr. Johnson's
rhetoric on Celie by returning to her the first person that she ever loved.
Both the rhetoric that Mr. Johnson exposes Celie to and the rhetoric that Celie
reveals to Albert Johnson have a very important role in Celie's life in the
movie The Color Purple.
Celie also shares a strong relationship with Shug Avery. Celie

Movie: The Firm
.... in on the corruption that when on. The firm had a tight control
over their partners. They knew everything about their personal life as well as
their work life. All their homes were wired and their phones tapped. They also
had access to information on their partners family and friends. With such tight
controls over their lives they had a power to control their every move.
Temptations of escape were smothered by threats of harm. In two cases the
threats of harm led to murder.
A reoccurring theme of politics and power emerged throughout the film.
For this reason it seems most logical to analyze The Firm based on chapter
twelve .....

The Godfather: Michael Vs. Sonny
.... killed in the explosion. Sonny is an
adulterer. He is with another women during his sisters wedding, along with a
few other times throughout the movie.
Their tempers were not nearly the same. Sonny had a bad temper, while
Michael did not. Sonny's temper ended up getting him killed. He flew off the
handle when he found out that his sister had been beaten and ran out of the
house without anyone with him. During those times he should have known better,
but all he had on his mind was vengeance. Michael on the other hand is fairly
calm about things. He knows that Carlos was involved in Sonny's death, but he
lets it go until it .....

1943, it employed 8 million people, and spent 11 billion dollars. But in 1939,
there were still 9.5 million still unemployed. Another program was the Civilian
Conservation Corps. Unemployed, unmarried young men were enlisted to work on
conservation and resource-development projects such as soil conservation, flood
control, and protection of forests and wildlife. These men were provided with
food, lodging, and other necessities, and were given a small monthly salary.
Another program was the CWA, the civil works administration. It employed more
