Annaly Aviles Jeremy Voigt AP English, July 26, 2012 What life is now? In the novel “Amusing ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman, he indicates that the television has greatly impacted our culture. The main big argument that Postman has, is how television has overcome the printed word. This has become a big problem because it has greatly affected economics, politics, religion, and education. Children are so used television entertaining them that they expect the teachers to entertain them the same way, so they are unable to learn as they would without television.
The reason why people are so crazy for reality television is is because there is that possibility that they could be on it. They "cast" and pick people based on personality or even just random luck, but the fact that there is a possibility is what makes people so obsessed. Reality television has another sociological concept known functionalism. Functionalism is a social paradigm that views society as a system of interdependent parts, or subsystems.

Max just became more of a dick, and the challenges in Susan and Andrews relationship added a lot of craziness to the show. It went from easy to manage and funny to very deep and stressful just after intermission.

Dawe uses television jargon to further elaborate how consumerism has dehumanised humanly values. “Right between the Carol Burnett and the David Nixon show they fell in love.” Through the use of television and consumer jargon along with the satirical nature of the poem, we understand how consumers have been impacted through the media. Through the poem Dawe allows us to see how the predominance of the media has impacted the values in relationships. “But the course of true etcetera, Etcetera.” Through Dawe’s use of the word “Etcetera” he shows us how love is no longer relevant in between relationships. Therefore, the media dehumanises the quality of humanly values and relationships.

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.
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. The Ugly Face of Entertainment Entertainment tempers people's hectic pace of life, preserves sanity, and serves as a vehicle for socialization. In an age of technology, however, new entertainment has invaded society and rotted morals. Television, computer and video games, movies, and others have placed an unhealthy emphasis on indulgence and violence. By capitalizing on thrillers like aggression, much of entertainment has distorted human character and promoted violence.
