Government intervention into the media is a hot topic these days, filled with controversy and blame. Every group is pointing the finger at another group. Parents are blaming the government for not helping, government is blaming the media for not censoring material, and others are blaming the parents for not censoring and protecting their children. Our society is getting nowhere. there is no solid proof that the media causes violence, and although parents do a lot to help and protect their children, there are still some steps that can be taken to protect their children against violent and sexual material.
There were several reasons for the introduction of proportional electoral systems in the UK, the most notable being the widespread discontentment felt for the unrepresentative nature of FPTP amongst the public. This dissatisfaction with FPTP was steadily growing (since it failed in the 1970s to produce strong majority governments) and by electing those newly devolved bodies and assemblies using a proportional system the government was able to check public support for each system by means of referencing turnout/spoiled ballots etc. This also meant that the government were able to introduce proportional electoral systems for the public (ticking all the right boxes in the electorate’s eyes) without having to go through the numerous complications involved in reform of the Westminster electoral system. It can be said that PR’s use in these smaller elections was to act as ‘on trial’ for possible introduction into UK general elections; a proposition that as of yet has not materialized. STV has been in place in Scottish local elections since 2007, largely due to the fact that it
24 Analysis Ginia Bellafante is a journalist for the New York Times, and in 2007 she wrote an article entitled “In the 24 World, Family Is the Main Casualty” that dives into the family relationship problems of the popular television show, 24. 24 is a television show that revolves around United States Counter-Terrorism Agent Jack Bauer and his continuous attempts at thwarting the destruction of the United States. The show was criticized for many reasons by many organizations for depicting government sanctioned torture, stereotyping Muslims as bad, and the common portrayal of domestic violence, as normal. In Bellafante’s critical analysis of 24, she focuses primarily on the issue of domestic violence, referencing the show’s apparent lack of respect for family ties. As Bellafante analyses the family connections in 24, she inadvertently reveals that the show’s plotline is making a broader statement about what officers and soldiers sacrifice in the line of duty for the sake of our country, and is furthermore making suggesting that the creators of 24 are using the show to express their gratitude.
He cannot see that he did anything wrong when he fired Eva smith- he was just looking after his business interests. An example of him putting his business first is when the Inspector asks him why he didn’t give Eva more money. ‘Well, it’s my duty to keep labour costs down, and if I’d agreed to this demand for a new rate we’d have added about 12% to our labour costs.’ This shows a clear understanding that Birling only thought about his business and was very selfish towards his work. He wants to protect is reputation. As the Inspector’s investigations continue, his selfishness gets the better of him: he is worried about how the press will view his story in Act 2, and accuses Sheila of disloyalty at the start of Act 3.
The problem here is that once you start camping out on City Halls doorstep, you are interfering with the rights of others to use public property. Also, these protesters have very twisted ideas about free speech. Like most demented liberals, you are free to speak, only if you agree with their political views/opinions. Community activist Zuma Dogg found that out the hard way when he went down to Los Angeles City Hall and set up his microphone and tried to do some "free speech." He ended up getting attacked by an angry mob within one minute of starting his speech.
Matt Dombrowski Dombrowski 1 Mrs. Floyd English 1113 January 18, 2011 What Inspires You? Many readers such as Martin Luther King and Gandhi have been inspired by Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience, where Thoreau recounts his night spent in jail for tax evasion, and he tells the audience how his life was changed from the experience. Thoreau did not trust the Government with his money because he did not know what the Government planned to use the money for. He much preferred to pay the taxes or donate money to the projects that he himself thought worthy of his hard earned money. Thoreau used images such as the walls of the jail, the window in his cell, and the change that he went through during his night spent in jail to inspire his readers to live their lives freely and how they want to.

Last night, I watched the most recent episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. One of the segments was dedicated to a clip of Obama speaking during his campaign in 2007, where he supposedly made some racist comments and was supporting class warfare. Jon Stewart’s segment pulled out a clip from FOX News, where the anchor made a comment along the lines of “People are saying this has already been reported on, but I know it hasn’t because I reported on it the first time.” This clip was the central focus of the segment because of the sheer stupidity of his comment, let alone the fact that he contradicted himself by claiming something hadn’t been done and then saying he did it. I think the piece was negative, because it was meant to portray FOX
Damien’s article also suggest that the 2am lockout is pointless, but leans more towards the fact the John Brumby is really just out of ideas. With a sophisticated and bitter tone, the writher also aims his article at the party goers, but more in particular to those who are interested in government issues.
In June 2012, Fox News released a tape about Obama breaking his oath to help immigration and it seemed as if he was contradicting himself and not prioritizing it. The Fox news caster stated, before the unveiling of the tape, “Let me play this for the audience so they can understand and fully grasp here the magnitude of what he did on Friday.” Fox made it clear that they wanted the audience to “fully” grasp a lie. Stuart on the “Daily Show” showed the full tape instead of only a portion of the tape like Fox, and display to his cynical audience how deceptive Fox truly is. The full tape revealed how Obama, in reality is still prioritizing and reinforcing his beliefs, unlike how Fox interpreted it. On the “Daily Show” Stuart, after broad casting the corrupted video, used a sarcastic tone and commended Fox for showing such a shocking video and even apologize for past “mistakes” of ridiculing Fox.
