After a fight Jennifer and David broke the TV remote; suddenly a mysterious repair main shows up and sends them into the Pleasantville show. Stuck in this TV show the main charters have to pretend to be respectively Bud and Marie Sue Parke and try not to change this black and white world. Unsurprisingly, they did change the script and turned step by step the Pleasantville universe into a colorful and aware city with self-reflective citizens. The inhabitants are not the only ones who metamorphosed; Jennifer and David also grew all along the movie. At the beginning David was shy, lacking in confidence, a dreamer; he could not even talk to his lover; he had friends as insecure as he was, and he was hidden in the utopian Pleasantville world.
When W.S goes into his room he dims the television screen but can’t turn it fully off, as it says in chapter one “ Winston turned a switch at the sound on the telescreen sank somewhat, thought the words were still distinguishable. He knew it was watching him. This again is abnormal, nowadays it is against the law to spy on someone via there television but in this amazing novel George Orwell does write about people “spying” on people throughout the novel. My fourth dystopian detail is what the main character W.S says “every human is doomed to die.” Here, George Orwell has chosen his wording very carefully, giving Winston's statement as
For 18 years the world had not seen a human baby. The film explores the behavior of the human society under these extreme conditions and focuses on the theme of realism and hope. The film begins on an anti-utopian basis with the youngest person in the world getting killed for declining to give an autograph. The reason why this news is so appalling is because the society has an infertility problem which poses a threat to the human kind, and its potential annihilation.

Kathy Dawiczyk Child Development Reflection 1: Case Study “A Study In Violence” 2/21/2012 1. Don has presented a well put theory in this case study. He was able to observe the children (and their violent behavior towards on another) on numerous occasions which provides support in his theory.

Don decides to conduct a research study based on children who watch or play violent video games at home and their behavior at school.
His children particularly Mayella, have been affected by this lack of empathy, and have developed it as well. After Bob had just saved Scout and Jem's lives, Atticus and Mr. Heck Tate were talking about Mr. Ewell. "He has guts enough to pester a poor coloured woman, he had guts enough to pester Judge Taylor when he thought the house was empty, so do you think he'd met your face in daylight?" (Page 269) - Mr. Heck Tate (on why Bob Ewell went after Scout and Jem). This quote shows how Bob Ewell has no empathy skills whatsoever.
So goes the sayings “the key to life is moderation”, “variety is the spice of life”. A great deal is known about children and television, because there have been thousands of studies on the subject.

While a thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 Scope’s Monkey Trial, the movie holds its own while being slightly overdramatic. A teacher is arrested for teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution, while being outlawed in the school system. Evolution, the theory that we all evolved to better adapt to our world is an unprecedented idea at the time, and comes with much misinterpretation. The people of the town widely accept creationism and fear and quickly label anyone will believes anything different as agnostic Godless individuals without any worth in society.
This paper describes the negative effects of reality television viewing on individuals, such as violent or aggressive behavior, substance use, sexual activity, and insufficient academic performance. In addition to the television ratings system, media education is an effective approach to addressing these problems.

Society Discourages Individualism Ray Bradbury's short story, "The Pedestrian," displays the nearby future in a very unfavorable way. In the story, the world has been eaten away by the use of technology. Mankind has made an amazing development with creations such as the television. Though, as children grow up to watch television with their eyes glued to the screen and giving up on playing outside or reading, it’s not such a great thought to look forward to.
