What are important to consider about programs like this are, what messages adolescents are receiving from these types of television shows and how much is at face value. They can’t necessarily digest the amount of satire or the relation of these jokes to real life situations. In Peacocke’s article, Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, she exhibits the notions of any Family Guy fan but explains that although the motive of this show, even throughout all the dark humor and twisted jokes, it should not be taken seriously, just a means to find entertainment or a quick laugh. An adult maybe about to pick the syntax of the show apart but how badly does the show fester in younger minds? Seeing various age groups watch this show I can see that many of them aren’t laughing at the well-structured jokes Family Guy makes but at the simple ones or scenes they personally think are hilarious, like fat jokes or making fun of teachers.
Socrate's Guilt There is a distinct difference in attitude towards Socrates in the works of the Apology by Plato and the play Clouds by Aristophnes. While both address the controversial nature of Socrate's philosophy of thought, perceptions of Socrate's character differ. This presentation of his character can sway audiences and reader's views regarding Socrate's guilt with his charges. The apology establishes the earlier charges against Socrates during his trial. Namely that he studies things in the heavens and below the earth and that he makes the worse argument into the stronger argument.

They also made it possible to block programs by passing an act called the Telecommunication act making television manufactures make a special chip to let parents block things that were not appropriate in parents’ opinions for children to watch. Different censorings are the aspect of blocking the television shows and channels you would prefer not to watch. The more violent acts that individuals see on television the more death and crime rates go up in the United States.
Finally, illegal substances are supported, such as marijuana and cocaine, through comedic gestures. The criteria used for social humour in these sitcoms are politically incorrect and are unacceptable forms of humour. Most of the audience that watches “rude TV”, such as Family Guy and American Dad, are at too young of an age to be responsible and mature enough to watch the shows. A lot of them will get influenced negatively; they will be convinced to learn the ill manners and shamelessness supported in the shows, because they are thought to be humorous, the coarse language is taken lightly as well teaching the audience to use it as well to be humorous. The Parents Television Council released a list of the 20 most popular shows among kids from ages 2-17.
To stop the bully by becoming a bully does not solve anything. Most bullies might also be bullied at home or may even be physically and verbally abused at home or in the environment they live in. I do not want my son to grow up thinking it is okay to fight violence with violence. Children are learning to make fun of people who are nerds, short and people who generally look different. Children learn from each
Censorship of South Park Censorship is considered to be the regulation of obscenity, indecency, and profanity. These aspects are normally regulated during certain hours in order to protect the public, mainly children, from these shows that may harm their development or influence them negatively. South Park is a show that should be censored because it influences the youth who watch it in a negative way. South Park contains racial stereotypes as well as racial jokes, profanity, and makes adult references that children do not need to be hearing. South Park as a show, is meant to parody real life events, characters, and debates, such as gay rights, elections, and even the Jersey Shore cast as in one episode but they take this to the extreme in each new episode.
Also by using the word “media” in the title it deceives the reader and makes them think that they would be reading Jones talk about all media including; newspapers, movies, magazines, television shows, etc., but all he writes about are violent comics. The title would especially appeal to parents, especially parents that are struggling with the idea of their children being involved with violent media. Within the first paragraph Gerard Jones expresses how his parents were against violence and rage. When he was a teen he struggled fitting into a group of friends because he was hiding all his emotions into a nice boy persona and was afraid to engage with boys his age that might bring out those bad emotions, so instead he often kept to himself. In my
Shawn Choi AP Art History, Per. 3 Mitchell 11/20/14 The Allegory of the Cave Plato frequently employs –the language of poetry, using myths, parables, and allegories to transmit to his readers the profound truths of his idealistic philosophy which, to quote again from his Seventh Letter, “does not admit of exposition like other branches of knowledge.” The most famous and brilliant example of Plato’s use of this device is the allegory of the cave from the Republic, his description of an ideal state. Its purpose is to illustrate graphically the importance of moving away from the “shadows” of the world of appearances to the world of eternal nonmaterial realities beyond. This is the realm of the Ideas, the highest of which is the Idea of Good, here compared with the sun. Like the sun, it causes all things to exist, to be visible, and to become intelligible.
Sturgeon gives examples of films and TV shows that have negative effects on children. She criticizes our culture for feeding our kids with stereotypes at a young age by saying, “We need to be aware of theses dominant cultural messages may undermine the understanding of environmental justice issues we want to promote” (Sturgeon 575). Sturgeon is causing the reader to acknowledge that popular culture has an effect on young people, and we need to be aware of everything that we see on television and
“Most adults, has some concerns for their children watching those shows. They had a thought that they might influence their kids to do some bad things in life because of the violence in the shows”(Feinstein 2). But that was not the only thing that they might have thought would influence their kids, “comedians were now on television too, and it was big for them because they could say stuff they could not say on the radio” (Adam 2). That did not top their daughters and sons from watching television; it is not like they could watch it all the time. Plus, there were only a few
