Do you agree with the view that the main effect of increasing media coverage of the royal family from the 1970s onwards was to damage the image of the monarchy? Media coverage was sincerely damaging to the monarchy from the 1970s onwards. The media made the royal family seem like a celebrity family rather than a royal family, as they focused on their private lives.

Diana asks herself rhetorical questions to make the audience talk about why things should be a certain way. “Why did Diana’s own self confessed and ill chosen liaisons not create a scandal even as Charles’s one long term relationship, re-activated after the marriage had grown sour, branded him as an unfeeling brute?”
Long after the years where they had to fight for their land and their freedom (by the way, at the expense of the American Indians), they seem to have become completely paranoid.

AN AFFAIR TO FORGET Corporate America was flabbergasted when Boeing dismissed its executive president for carrying out an affair with a female executive. It has been a favorite topic of debate when Harry Stonecipher was asked to clear out his desk subsequent to the deliberation of the company’s ethics and legal board when they got hold of the knowledge of the affair. I strongly believe that the decision to have Stonecipher resign at command was rather tough but logical. As Boeing and the defense industries understood the repercussions of a sex scandal at the crest of one of America's largest corporations, it turned out to be apparent that it was not just the relationship but the incidences of it which potted Stonecipher's providence.

This is just another example of how the NE see’s a “stars” status as something they can tear down and say whatever they want about it just because they feel like they have no moral code when it comes to the upper class.
Shelley Worcester 11.7.11 WR 121 Response Paper: American Beauty American Beauty is one of the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen. I don’t know what I’d do if I found out my father was infatuated with one of my best girlfriends. And if she had done what Angela had done being all flirty and seductive, that would be the end of our friendship. Ricky was also an odd one with his little video-documenting obsession but I felt bad for him at the same time because I don’t think his father really understood him. He assumed he was gay because of what he saw over at the Burnham’s house, which is understandable because the camera shows Ricky in a compromising position, but Frank only saw what he wanted to see; he was the one that was actually gay, and
