If someone turned on the radio right at this moment they would hear an abundance of swear words, references to sex, stanzas exclaiming how much they love a certain drug, a verse about how someone dodged a bullet, in a literal sense, or lyrics objectifying women. Inappropriate allusions in songs are negatively changing our youth and ultimately our country as a whole. Society believes that violent music and other violent media outlets are the reason big massacres occur in America. For example, Pat Stack pointed out an instance after the Columbine shooting where “some right wing American shock-jock being interviewed as to why the massacre had happened. The music of Marilyn Manson, video nasties, and lack of parental control were all cited.” Two of those three reasons fall into the category of music violence and prove that derogatory words and phrases changes the youth negatively.
Sade argues for the interrelationship between sexual and political freedom. How does Philosophy in the Boudoir engage with or dramatise this argument? Do you think it is correct? Argument continues today regarding the Marquis de Sade and the ambiguous representation of his works. For many, his material is judged as what some feminists would define as a “form of violence against women”, whose representations “eroticize male domination”, (Robin Ann Sheets, “Pornography, Fairytales and Feminism” 635), but for many readers of Sade’s work, once they see through the ‘smut’ and the erotica, there is often found by the reader an underlying message which is sometimes seen as radical, or one which was not elaborated further until many years later.
To begin with, media is always trying to make these celebrities more and more famous by portraying their images as they are super hero and what they are doing is right. This is the main reason, today many youngsters following these celebrities blindly. Celebrities often shown as smoking and drinking excessively on screen, this can be very harmful to the teens that they pick up on these behaviors and think it is normal to smoke and drink like their favorite celebrity. What is more, almost every other day, a celebrity is in trouble with law in term of drug abuse and addiction. Moreover, many celebrities are brand ambassadors of wine and liquor products, where they promote these products and their admirers starts boozing as their role model is promoting it.
She responded mostly by interrupting his questions to let him know that she has the right to be “pissed off” at the world’s current situation due to these idiots and morons. This is where her passion about the argument really shows. She was legitimately infuriated at these people just by talking about them and their beliefs and actions. The whole lecture, movie and all, was very interesting and eye opening. I learned a lot about the truth about fracking and also about the sort of battle between people like Ann McElhinney and environmentalists, which is currently raging on.

How Media Bias Affects Politics I want to document the effects of political biases in the media. There is a bias in the news media outlets such as MSNBC, CNN, FOX news, etc. Not only are they biased but some of them are activists pushing for a political agenda. The news media with liberal biases definitely outnumber the conservative bias not just on TV but as social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube grow, we are seeing more and more liberal bias from younger people. The media have a tremendous power in setting cultural guidelines and in shaping political discourse.
Barbara Ehrenreich’s article “Welcome to Cancerland”, is a controversial approach to a widely discussed subject at present times: breast cancer. Even though many of the author’s arguments can be discussed, this article undoubtedly forces the reader to rethink the breast cancer “culture” that has been developed in the last years. The author’s anger and negativity can be felt in every word of her article and this has surprised me as a reader, since these are not the typical emotions shown by people in the same situation. I believe this is the strongest point of her essay, which has personally left me with mixed feelings regarding this disease. Anger, resignation, frustration, rebelliousness.
But let us not forget that these celebrities are often persuaded into doing things that they aren’t really interested in doing for the sole purpose of boosting their popularity in society. Lets face it; drama sells for these individuals. If Madonna got a new tattoo, it would be headlining news on all the gossip TV shows and magazines. This is not an acceptable way to get people to like you. Celebrity or felon, tattoos all carry the same message to me.
This can end up with a person have racial profiling used against them and making a negative impact on their life. Most of the ideas of racial profiling come from the media (Mass Media). The Mass Media includes forms of communication that becomes exaggerated form the truth for ratings. Reporters would use the most extreme and dramatic story that they could find, to have on the news, for that day. Mass Media author, Jennifer Akins, states “…because the media are so prevalent in industrialized countries, they have a powerful impact on how those populations view the world.” This shows that people rely on the media for views on the world.
