watch, the more they fantasize about what they saw. They replay the scenes in their heads, which can lead to aggressive behavior. Paik and Comstock did a study that confirmed the idea that television violence is related to aggression and antisocial behavior. Media violence is associated with aggression towards friends, strangers and classmates, however the study wasn't consistent. They have reached a conclusion that there is a "causal relation" with TV violence and aggression however more studies are needed to view the long-term impact on TV violence.I found this reference a little bit repetitive. It seemed to mention the same things over and over without actually coming to as solid conclusion

main factors that leads to real-life violence, but in my opinion, television is just a minor factor that leads to real-life violence and that it is the parents responsibility to teach kids the difference.According to Rathus in Psychology in the New Millennium, observational learning may account for most human learning. Observational learning extends to observing parents and peers, classroom learning, reading books, and learning from media such as television and films. Nearly all of us have been exposed to television, videotapes, and films even in the classroom.Television is also one of our major sources of informal observational learning. According to researchers, viewing habits range from the

One of the most eminent of Trocme's moral stances was on non-violence. Shaped by a violent past and deep faith; Trocme's message of passivity required respect for humanity, trust in God, and an unending desire to forgive. Trocme's primary influence in making this stance was a chance encounter with a German soldier who was a conscientious objector in the First World War (Hallie, 58). Also crucial in his position was his deep faith in God. The German soldier appealed to a young Trocme's faith and his fears of a nonviolent position when he said that "men cannot hurt those who have put all their confidence in God" (59). Trocme was obviously affected by this meeting and when he was sent as a

GENDER IN THE MEDIA 1
Alexis Robinson
8/5/18
If there’s anything people are realizing these days, it’s that representation matters. A lot.
Media is incredibly influential, and not many people seem to realize how much of an impact it
has on our society as a whole. But while people of color are finally starting to get their spotlight
on the silver screen and in our streaming apps, there’s a huge group of people who still haven’t
seen much representation at all, and when they do, it’s a mostly negative portrayal.
When we portray people, they’re generally male or female, and there is no

Critical Analysis
In the article, “Teaching Kids to Kill”, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman argues that video games and media violence are the roots to violence occurring worldwide. Grossman establishes credibility, evokes emotional responses, and appeals to his readers` ability to reason in an effort to persuade his readers to agree to put an end to violent visual media.
Grossman appeals to ethos by introducing his expertise and citing other sources other than himself. For example, Grossman declares “I spent almost a quarter of a century as an Army infantry officer, a paratrooper, a Ranger, and a West Point Psychology Professor, learning and studying

MED2201: Cultural Representations and the Media
CW2: 3,000-word essay
‘The “problem” is not the person with the disabilities; the problem is the way that normalcy is constructed to create the “problem” of the disabled person’ (Davis: 2013:1). Critically analyse this statement in relation to two examples from either film, television or advertising.
Consistently in the media, too often individuals with a disability are portrayed as figures to be ‘pitied’
and, as a result, there was ‘so little representation of people with disabilities living normal lives that
they have quite accurately been referred to as the invisible minority’ (Nelson,1999). The first time that

The Criminal Justice System's Response to Sexual Violence Against Women Sexual assault and rape are serious social and public health issues in the United States. Women are overwhelmingly the victims of sexual assault and rape, while men are nearly always the perpetrators. National surveys in the United States estimate that one in six women has experienced an attempted or completed rape at some time (Basile, Lang, Bartenfeld, & Clinton-Sherrod, 2005). Men with whom they are acquainted sexually assault the vast majority of women.
Women are far less likely to report a rape or assault when they know their assailant. Thus, instances of sexual assaults are greatly under-reported. This paper

television ( 1 ).Extended amounts of graphic violence on TV is now worried of the desensitization of the public from actual violence to other people, which many believe causes some to be more violent themselves (Media Violence 3-4). I believe desensitization can go both ways. I think it can be somewhat helpful in preparing people to deal with the sometimes harshness of reality; where we see violence and it is not so shocking and disturbing as to scar us psychologically. I know I have grown somewhat used to the things that go on in the world. I am not shocked to hear about a shooting at a school or a bomb going off in Israel anymore, from the fact I see it all the time on

Rape Culture in the Media and Digital Age
In the history of the illustrated press, the portrayal of rape victims and rapists have been muddled. Sexual violence, sexual harassment, and sexual abuse are being perpetuated through the development of digital technology. Sexual violence, which can be defined as actual "physical acts, like rape, sexual assault, non-contact offenses and behaviors, like sexual harassment and sexual coercion." Technology is a big part of the problem with sexual violence because the coined term "technology-facilitated sexual violence" has become widespread as it refers to the ways that criminal harmful sexually aggressive and harassing behaviors are being facilitated

methodologies developed in countries all over the world that enable us to form knowledge and opinion about different elements within the media. The theoretical conventions include those of the American 'Empiricism', European Critical Theory, Western 'Marxism', British Cultural Studies, Political Economy, and French Structuralism and Semiology.Investigating these methodologies, along with exposure to media itself, can assist us in understanding the relationship between the text, the producer, and the audience, and therefore make sense of the political, economic and cultural meaning of everyday life.Studying the media is a concept that has only been existent for a short amount of time and is

Consider how much violence is presented in the media. Can excessive violence in the media desensitize people?
A killer seeks out, gun shots everywhere, dead bodies fill up the streets and the ambulance sirens are only what could be heard. The next morning, murder news hit the headlines and everyone can be seen on the same page on their social media. So what is the constant cycle of violent media doing to us?
Media has always been a part of our daily life, it is a way for families and friends to have fun together, for interesting topics that people are interested in, or to just enjoy

When reading over the parameters for this project, I was attempting to talk with either of my grandfathers, both of whom had grown up through the 1940s. However, neither was comfortable speaking over the phone as their hearing just isn’t quite what it used to be (although they just blamed cell phone technology). So, through trial and error with a little bit of frustration locating someone to interview, I settled nicely on a phone conversation with my wife’s step-grandmother. Jerri Rock, who lives in West Virginia, was more than happy to talk with me about the changes

IntroductionThe three ideas I used were, Democracy vs. Dictatorship, Humanity and Human Nature and Innocence vs. Experience. Democracy vs. Dictatorship connects with Ralph (as the democratic leader) and Jack (as the dictator)and is compared to democracy being overthrown. Humanity and Human Nature is connected to the boys obtained savagery and immorality. It is then related to war, the effects of war and isolation caused by war. Innocence vs. Experience relates to Simon symbolizing innocence, Jack and Ralph symbolizing experience and Ralph realization of the end of innocence on the island. I chose these topics because I thought they were the most important themes in the book. These themes
