Television As A Reflection Of Society
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. As much as people might try to use television as a scapegoat for all of society's ills, it is truly nothing more than an accurate cultural refection rather than that of an influence upon it. Indeed, television only mirrors what already exists in reality, as opposed to being an operative component behind the motivating factors. However, this reflection is not only limited to television but is also prominently portrayed in advertisements, music and all other form of media, inasmuch as it mirrors what society has effectively become. While there is a significant amount of violence characteristic of social interaction, this image is not distorted by what the media represents as reality. The writer discusses how television is not responsible for violent behavior, but is merely a depiction of social existence. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Television As Sexist
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Sexism in television is an industry ill that has run rampant ever since its mid-century inception. Even though it has purportedly quelled its ever-present sexist orientation, critics charge that this is hardly the case. Even in programs that proclaim to utilize women as respected and equal characters to their male counterparts, what has truly surfaced is nothing more than a clever ploy to make it appear as though television has finally put to bed the sexists perception it adopted at inception. The writer discusses how this veiled attempted to promote women from beneath the social oppression of the male ego has its roots in patriarchal control, in spite of the fact that women are more independent now than they have ever been before throughout history.
