Another thing portrayed prejudice in the novel, is the way whites talk to blacks. "I said come here nigger, and bust up this chiffarobe for me, I gotta nickel for you”(Lee241). Referring to an African American as a "nigger" is completely disrespectful and making them seem like they are lower than the whites are, which is not the case. No person wants to be spoken to in that manner, white or black. This word is used immensely throughout the novel, especially during the trial.
If I watch a lot of TV will it translate to my test scores? Steven Johnson says that watching TV works the same parts of your brain as reading, (attention, patience, etc.). But I find it easy to argue that the instant gratification of entertainment in the complex plot
People are said to have positive reactions toward television. As a person watches television, he or she can interact with what is happening. Whether it is happiness or sadness, a person will not be affected by television; he or she will understand the values of each show. In “A Moral Never-Never Land: Identifying with Tony Soprano,” James Harold indicates that television helps a person compare problems and emotions on a show. Television makes people look deep inside and think about the notions of good and evil.

Such situations were all their life until the north defeated the south in the American Civil War in 1870’s. They got free by the new constitution released during the war. But the condition was not as good as people thought, the Africa Americans still were prejudiced especially in the southern U.S. Nowadays, although the situation has been improved a lot, Black man still get some bias form white people. The novel demonstrates many instance of mistreatment. Black people only get poorest jobs and hardest jobs.
Finally, the Colbert Report imitates life in that the “TV audience” cheering on his pointless comments parallels how our society is often times entertained by complete nonsense. Clearly conservatives think that Colbert actually believes what he says and is not using political satire; however, the liberals have the impression that Colbert uses satire and is not serious about his political views. Again this supports the notion that television is a reflection of real life. In our day and age, people, especially Americans, are so consumed with their everyday lives that they forget that there are tragedies going on in other countries on a daily basis. Most news shows either steer clear of meddling in another country’s affairs, or they talk about important events and tragedies in a
Yeah, everybody is entitled to speak their mind or have an opinion and whatnot, but are we watching CNN or Bravo? This is a prime example of why there is no substantial difference between reality shows and the modern state of news broadcasting. Though the subject matter obviously differs, the two branches of media, consisting of Bravo, E!, Fox, CNN and everything in between is on par with poison and will fill your headspace with trivialities and anxiety-inducing stories until your ears fall

Most people expected it to be a comedy because of the previews, the title, the actors, and the history of Judd Apatow movies.

With George Simmons health issue and his personal life with his ex lover, him not being a good family man, and him falling off as a comedian, I thought it was more of a serious film with funny parts added to it.
Everyone watches reality TV shows for the basic purpose of entertainment, right? There has been a controversial debate about whether or not entertainment, such as reality shows, will “ruin” society. Neal Gabler wrote a book titled Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality stating that yes, society will indeed ruin society and I agree with this statement. Most of the reality TV programs on the air promote bad behavior and untrue stereotypes. Skins is a reality show based mainly off of stereotypes.
This wherein lies the inception of The Walking Dead. As stated before, Reality TV is very shallow in the realm of story telling because these type of shows try to present a false sense of “reality” by making up plot-lines with the show’s “stars” to make the subject matter interesting. Reality TV is highly impersonal, sure we could relate to some of the people that appear on the shows, but we wouldn’t care much about learning more about their background, their history. This is where The Walking Dead shines so brightly and captivate audiences. The story revolves around a group of survivors after a viral outbreak kills a great bulk of the country’s population, reanimating them into “walkers,” ferocious zombies
