Do you agree with the view that the main effect of increasing media coverage of the royal family from the 1970s onwards was to damage the image of the monarchy? Media coverage was sincerely damaging to the monarchy from the 1970s onwards. The media made the royal family seem like a celebrity family rather than a royal family, as they focused on their private lives. The media undermined the monarchy through stories of their sexual deviancies and marital mishaps. Source 15 backs up this point; it’s message is that the media has shown the royal families true colours, albeit very bland colours.
In 1992 she published her third and most controversial portfolio called “Immediate Family”. In this series of photos Mann presents several small children, many exposed and in some cases completely nude. These photos not only ignited arguments about the morality of the photos but also about their legitimacy. A federal prosecutor in Roanoke, VA informed Mann that no fewer than eight pictures she had chosen for the traveling exhibition could subject her to arrest (Woodward). Despite the clear laws against publicly showing child nudity, she has never been charged with any crime as a result of her infamous art shows.
Jane Thompson claims to have been sexually harassed at a business luncheon by Bill Smith. She threatens to take legal action against Mr. Smith as well as Propmore for not protecting her against such actions. It Mr. Bradford’s job to investigate the situation and decided what action to take. Sexual harassment is against the law and against Propmore’s Corporate Policy. The problem is the person in question is not an employee of Propmore or did the incident take place at Propmore.
This means that the behavior altered the terms, conditions, and/or reasonable expectations of a comfortable work environment for employees. Additionally, the behavior, actions or communications must be discriminatory in nature. A coworker who tells sexually explicit jokes and sends around images of nude people, is guilty of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. In conclusion I do think that Ms. Darcy has a case against Big Car Company due to the fact they let the harassment go on when she complained plenty of times. After she complained Mr. Clarance was suspend and Ms. Darcy was removed from that area to a lower paying job also it was stated that he would at least be 300 feet away from her and at the beginning it was like that then they moved her to 30 feet away from him.
‘The Justice Game’, By Geoffrey Robertson, has taught me that conflicting perspectives can be biased and extremely subjective, depending on the circumstances and/or the person or persons involved. This theme is particularly demonstrated in the chapter, ‘Diana in the Dock: Does Privacy Matter?’ where Robertson is defending a man, Bryce Taylor, whom took unauthorised photographs of the Princess of Wales while she was exercising in the gym under his management. He then sold them to a tabloid, giving the Princess a reason to sue him and attempt to create a privacy law. In this chapter, Robertson’s perspective is clearly indicated by his use of language. For example when he states in his autobiography, ‘The Justice Game’, that, “…Diana only wanted privacy when it suited her.” This indicates that he had a negative attitude towards the Princess.
At this time, birth control as well as the discussion of sex in public was seen as a cultural taboo and depending upon where you were in the country, you could be arrested for speaking of it. A woman speaking in public about sex, reproduction, and birth control was shocking and unheard of. You were a sensation that scared and titillated the entire country. Many women even described you as that “reprehensible woman”. At the time, no one, often not even husbands and wives in the privacy of their own homes spoke of sex and intimacy in any specific way.
She felt he sabotaged the Wall Street Journal by allowing the New York Times to run the story. P&G’s position on their actions was stated as being due to the “significant and ongoing leaks of our confidential business data, plans and strategies.” They filed a complaint which resulted in a grand jury investigation. It was based on 1967 and 1974 laws which made it a crime for employees to give away articles representing trade secrets and prohibits employees from disclosing confidential information. Reporters are protected by the First Amendment and in Ohio, “shield-laws” protect the reporters’ confidential sources identity. The Ohio laws’ interpretation was ambiguous; therefore, P&G’s claims were unfounded.
Recklessness In the case of R v Cunningham (1957) , the defendant stole money from a gas meter and in doing so, he tore the meter from the wall and left the gas pipes exposed. Coal gas then seeped into the basement of the house next door and affected a woman living there. The defendant was charged and convicted of "unlawfully and maliciously administering a noxious thing so as to endanger life" country to s23 Offences Against the Person Act (1861) . However, his conviction on appeal was quashed, as the judge had misdirected the jury by telling them that the word malicious' simply meant wicked', instead of giving it its more precise legal meaning. The court of appeal decided that: ³In any statutory definition of a crime, malice must be taken not in the old vague sense of wickedness in general but as requiring either (1) An actual intention to do the particular kind of harm that in fact was done; or (2) recklessness as to whether such harm should occur or not (i.e., the accused has foreseen that the particular kind of harm might be done and yet has gone on to take the risk of it).² This thus means, that the courts decided that when the word maliciously' is used in a statute, it was necessary to establish that the defendant either intended to do the harm in question or he had been reckless as to whether this harm would occur.
Throughout the article, the author says “The shoplifter creates a third choice of her own: she takes the products she has been conditioned to desire without paying for them… Shoplifting is the most effective protest against all … modern corporations” (Ex-workers Pg. 2). The purpose of this article and its use of logos is to inform the reader of the how the big corporations are cheating them out of their money and how they can “stick it” to them. Ethos, pathos, and logos are all rhetorical strategies that are used to inform and convince the reader of the continuing problem of big corporations cheating people out of their hard earned money. The logic and the papers emotional pull all contribute to the credibility of the author and what she has to say.
Intentionally or otherwise, entertainment condones violent behavior and downplays its significance. Modern entertainment lays sex and violence on dangerously thick. By excusing brutality and equating promiscuity to beauty, it distorts the moral values of society. Additionally, it encourages a personally dangerous lifestyle. STDs, fighting fatalities and injuries, and jail time are real threats to those who choose to live in the false grandeur of a Hollywood life.
