Thus, democracy and a fair voting group become tainted. 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
The younger generation think that is what they should do since that is what they see on TV and the internet. Divinecaroline.com state “Reality shows have become very popular and teens have begun to realize that you can become famous just by being a bad girl, teen mom, or a crazy party animal who likes to do nothing but drink and “smush,” like the cast members on Jersey Shore.” Shows like this are giving teens the wrong idea. Why should the cast be paid so much for setting a bad example? This country is supposed to be looked up to as a great clean country. With shows like this on air for the world to see it is a disgrace.
The construction of the desalination plant is flawed firstly as it is on the beautiful coastline in Wonthaggi in south eastern Victoria and it is frightening to think of what is currently in place, but above all it is not needed. That’s what the desalination plant is , an easy , get out of doing it properly short cut from politicians from the Liberal and Labour party’s
special. For most comedians this is a great feat in their career, and is sought after by many stand up performers. After Norton’s H.B.O spots he appeared in movies such as Superman 3, and Lucky Louie. While Norton’s material is raw and uncensored, he speaks empirically through his comedic stylings, but just seems to languish in mediocrity. Not able to overcome the comedic hump that is the small dingy venues, Norton finds himself gathering more raw materials from prostitutes on the streets of New York City, rather than living the high life in Hollywood.
Review Memo to the Executive Vice-President This message should be short but complete coverage of the subject matter. The information remaining should be worded concisely. The executive vice-president would like to know the differences between the two terms LIFO and FIFO so that the management can decide which inventory valuation method the company should use. Therefore, focusing on how it would affect on the P&L statements is necessary. Start the memo by mentioning to the main point that he is looking for.
South Park effectively enlightens viewers on concerns that are relevant to daily life, while keeping their attention through bold humor on the issue presented in the episode. Our generation gains most of our opinions on worldly issues through word of mouth or through the media. In the South Park episodes “Cartoon Wars” and “Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy” issues such as terrorism and pedophilia are the main subject matter. Day in and day out our youth hears of terrorism and its effect on society, only a handful of teens watch the news regularly and gain insight on the issue. In the South Park episode “Cartoon Wars”, the citizens of South Park are anticipating a Muslim terrorist attack because the show Family Guy used the Muslim prophet Muhammad as a character.
The Simpsons are a single income, middle class American family that most would consider dysfunctional at times, yet the family always seems to pull together in the end to form a tight bond that no one can break. Since its debut in 1989, The Simpsons have aired for twenty seasons and is an extremely successful show. The Simpsons has won numerous awards and is the longest running American sitcom as well as the longest running American animated program and is still running today. For that same reason, the Simpsons are more than just America’s favorite sitcom family; they are a window into American popular culture today. In the Simpsons latest episode “All about Lisa,” the show starts off at the annual Spingfield showbiz awards.
In Australia this meant cultural and racial homogeneity. So we are no talking about racial equality. In fact, and although this seems absolutely contradictory to us today, a commitment to egalitarianism in Australia went hand-in-hand with a belief in racial inequality. So on the one hand you had support for the equality of individuals but at the same time the inequality of races was promoted in Australia. As Australia’s first PM said the doctrine of equality of man was never intended to include racial equality and was never intended to apply to the equality of Englishmen and the Chinaman.’ It was not possible at the time to commit to both – only be equal because all were the same – Australia could only be egalitarian if it was homogenous & this meant white and
‘Australia does not need a Bill of Rights, whether constitutionally entrenched or by ordinary statute. Such a Bill would reduce parliamentary sovereignty, politicise the judiciary, increase the costs of the legal system, complicate human rights protections and constitutional arrangements and encourage trivial and vexatious complaints. Moreover, there is no convincing evidence that such a Bill would significantly enhance Australia’s human rights protection given Australia’s good record on human rights protection, particularly when compared internationally and given Australia’s commitment to parliamentary democracy.’ Regrettably many of the premises in this argument, however sound they may seem, do not hold up when examined. Australia has been regrettably seen as a wolf in sheep’s clothing when it comes to the issues of human rights On one hand it championed and was given responsibility in 1948 to the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and has since been a leading member of the UN in adopting their Treaties. However the most recent period since September 11 2001, legislative and executive practice, has seen the erosion of human rights in Australia.
Electoral majoritarianism can sometimes be selfish and indifferent to wrongs and discrimination. Both major political parties currently actively support discrimination against asylum seekers, as well as the continuation of the Northern Territory intervention. There is simply not a feasible option for the Australian people to show their distaste for the discrimination that is occurring, even if they are both aware of and oppose it. As long as these policies benefit the major parties politically, they will continue. III.
