For instance the newest comer to the club (some would argue) would be Bristol Palin, the daughter of Sara Palin. Bristol has been a part of the cast of this 2010 season of Dancing with the stars. Sara Palin the ex-governor of Alaska, ex-vice presidential candidate of 08 for the republican-party and now a new “Reality T.V. Star” mom, with her own show Sara Palin’s Alaska. Has proven that no matter how you feel about her, you can’t help but admit she has star power.
I would definitely say that Comedy Central's Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report are part of the "media" that affects people’s opinion. These television shows are a way to provide comedic relief to the issues our economy faces; however, these shows still have an impact of how the viewer will understand an issue at hand. It is very difficult for anyone to be completely unbiased and with constantly hearing other people’s opinion through the media. We cannot make a decision of how “we” feel about the topic. Thus, democracy and a fair voting group become tainted.

I do no think that everyone in our society helps promote drug use. For an example television; they are numerous reality shows out there such as Addiction & Celebrity Rehab. I think these types of shows gives us viewers a front row seat into the struggle, pain and self reflection that is inevitable when dealing with substance abuse issues. It is these types of shows that open many people’s eyes to quickly growing drug epidemic in our society. It is good to know that there are effective treatment programs out there that can help handle people’s addiction.
Family is a big part of life and I am glad that they show so many scenes that go through family ties and struggles. I truly think that this tv show impacts society making these families seem normal when in reality they shouldn't be. The Bible talks about how a family should be one man and one woman like Adam and Eve. This show depicts gays as a normal thing, where it is not completely normal yet. This assignment changes the way I consume media because sometimes what you consume over the television is wrong and it has hidden meanings or doesn't make sense i real

CHILD BEAUTY PAGEANTS The idea of Beauty Pageants started back in 1921 when the owner of an Atlantic City hotel thought of the idea in order to promote tourism. The winner of these contests would gain the title of Miss America, this has been a yearly event ever since. Then when the 1960’s came about pageants were becoming so popular that a ‘Little Miss America’ was started, originally open to 13 – 17 year olds but by the time 1964 came around there were over 35,000 participants which prompted an age division. Now a days children as young as two and three also participate. Beauty pageants as we know them today arisen in the late 1960’s in Miami, Florida.
With TV broadcasters that are free to edit their footage, and with viewers who watch reality-TV just to catch a break and turn off their brains for a few minutes, it might not always be completely ethical. But on the other hand many participants in this show feel that their participations have been a great experience, and behind the screens the viewers are really enjoying these shows. Reality has gained a lot of popularity lately, so why is there a problem? Boys and Girls Alone has received some discontented letters from concerned experts, and also some answers from educated people who cannot see the issues on the show. Andrew Mackenzie is Head of factual entertainment on Channel 4 and he sees no reason why Channel 4’s new show should be considered unethical, and states that “Reality television show on children did not pose a hazard to their welfare”.
People from younger generations are so drawn that they would rather skip school and chase after fame and money so that they can also appear to the world as celebrities. Celebrity culture through the help of the media is forced down the throats of our teenagers and young people from the younger generation now lose their grip on the culture and are ‘westernized’ However, it’s not like nothing good can come out of celebrity culture, They encourage teenagers to follow their dreams and work towards what they feel is the right path for them. Celebrity culture shows that you should as much as possible give to those who are in need and support various
Violence is a source of laughter in children's programs; films present it as staple fare; it is served as pseudo-information in sensation-hungry newspapers and on reality TV; and it is even glorified by some musicians in their lyrics and performances. In fact in the public domain, it is difficult to find material that is not linked to violence in some form. Those who are worried by this development also point out that the negative examples provided by the media are not balanced by a positive view. Criminals are often seen as daredevil and debonair or are presented so as to arouse sympathy. The so-called ‘heroes’ in TV series and films, be they Dirty Harry, the Power Rangers, Butch Cassidy or the Mighty Ducks, are frequently violent and
