Violence On Television: Violence Is Everywhere
.... they are either based on fighting or getting smashed by trucks and we
laugh and we love it. It's hard to beat watching someone else beat up on after
you just had a bad day.
Football and hockey, can't beat them but no one really cares about the
principle of the game we all just want to see the big hits. When watching
football highlights the things they love to show the most are the career ending
tackles usually before they even show the scores, hey who cares about the score
after you just saw some guy get annihilated by a 250 pound linebacker, we just
get excited about the hit. Hockey, The sport in which you ca .....

The Tragedy Of Hamlet
.... his one bad trait made him evil. Also a tragic hero
doesn't have to die. While in all Shakespearean tragedies, the hero dies,
in others he may live but suffer "Moral Destruction". In Oedipus Rex, the
proud yet morally blind king plucks out his eyes, and has to spend his
remaining days as a wandering, sightless beggar, guided at every painful
step by his daughter, Antigone. A misconception about tragedies is that
nothing good comes out of them, but it is actually the opposite. In Romeo
and Juliet, although both die, they end the feud between the Capulets and
the Montegues. Also, Romeo and Juliet can be together in heaven. In Hamlet .....

versions of great works of literature such as Orson Welles' Macbeth. Nearly

say that on average, children aged 2 to 11 watch about 23 hours of television
per week, and teenagers watch about 22 hours per .....

Movie: What's Eating Gilbert Grape
.... coming down until the firefighters carried him down. Their mother was very
upset with Gilbert and asked, “Where has your head been?” Gilbert head has been
up in the clouds, with his love.
This movie, “What's eating Gilbert Grape” is similar to the movie “Rain
Man”. In both movies they have mentally impaired bothers who need certain
treatment. These brothers didn't always give it to them. In “Rain Man”, Charlie
abducted his brother, Raymond, from the only home he has ever know. This wasn't
the proper kind of treatment that Raymond needed, he was treated this way out of
Charlies' selfish reasons. Gilbert also had selfish rea .....

What To Do?: Terrorism And The Media
.... and political causes they espouse. Without widespread publicity,
terrorist acts can achieve neither of these effects" (Bandura, Albert qtd. In
Nacos 1). Terrorists need the news media to get the publicity, and the media is
a willing accomplice. The news media is an accessory to terrorism, and as such
they should develop a set of standards that will limit the terrorist ability to
get their message out to a large audience during terrorist situations; Also the
media should also point out police mistakes without over emphasizing them,
giving equal coverage to both sides of the issue.
Terrorism is the use of violence aga .....

"Roseanne And The Kiss"
.... Roseanne has contributed to this trend
immensely with her television sitcom.
To begin with, the series Roseanne has had gay characters on it for a
long time. Roseanne's boss Leon was gay, and after “the kiss” his role on the
show became more outspoken as he got married to his lover in the season after
Roseanne kissed another woman.
In the 1994, Roseanne had a homosexual encounter with another woman
played by Mariel Hemingway in a gay bar. The episode was entitled “Don't ask,
Don't tell” seemingly making light of Bill Clinton's policy of gays in the
military. The plot of this episode is, that Roseanne goes into a gay bar wit .....

Hamlet: Method In The Madness
.... more conclusive in its precision. Shakespeare offers clear evidence
pointing to Hamlet's sanity beginning with the first scene of the play.
Hamlet begins with guards whose main importance in the play is to give
credibility to the ghost. If Hamlet were to see his father's ghost in
private, the argument for his madness would greatly improve. Yet, not one,
but three men together witness the ghost before even thinking to notify
Hamlet. As Horatio says, being the only of the guards to play a significant
role in the rest of the play, "Before my God, I might not this believe /
Without the sensible and true avouch / Of mine own eyes. ( .....

Hamlet: Duplicity
.... makes an easy to follow shift. This
shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son.
Hamlet says,
"I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms,
all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy
commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain"
(1.5.99-103).
Hamlet is declaring that he will be committed to nothing else but the
revenge of his father's death. There is no confusion about Hamlet's
character. He has said earlier that he is what he appears to be, and there
is no reason to doubt it. In the next act,however, Hamlet's s .....
