Can Media Inspire Violent Crimes?
607 Words - 3 Pages.... full responsibility for the harm they cause others.
Not everyone can distinguish fact from fantasy. Not only is it the
irrational people who commit the crimes in our country, but our own children who
may errantly be learning from day one that nothing bad will happen to them if
they shoot their brother in the head with Daddy's pistol.
Studies show that in one week of content analysis of prime-time output on
seven New York City channels, there were 3,421 acts and threats of violence

The Matrix

The humans countered by destroying what they thought to be the only source of energy for the machines, the sun. When the machines lost the power of the sun, they had to find a new source of energy. The machines learned that the human body itself can produce the kind of energy necessary to sustain their lives. But humans would never just bow down to their enemies and so the machines had to devise a way to detain the humans so that they could extract that energy. The machines created a computer program called "." In the movie ....

Hamlet: Act V-Scene 2 - The Climax
1119 Words - 5 Pages.... for his own death; by chance, he
had in his possession his father's signet for sealing the forged document. No
less by chance, the pirates proved kind and, for sufficient compensation, they
returned him to Denmark.
Throughout the play, after we have itemized Claudius' major crimes, the
Prince does not receive an answer to his question, one which is basic to his
status as a moral symbol in the play:
- is't not perfect conscience,
To quit him with this arm? And is't not to be damn'd,
To let this canker of out nature come
In further evil?
It has been seen here a Hamlet who is still in doubt, still troubled by his
conscience; and his view should not be ignored, ....

King Lear: Consequences Of One Man's Decisions
796 Words - 3 Pages.... result in his downfall. The very first words that
he speaks in the play are :-
"...Give me the map there. Know that we have divided
In three our kingdom, and 'tis our fast intent
To shake all cares and business from our age,
Conferring them on younger strengths while we
Unburdened crawl to death..."
(Act I, Sc i, Ln 38-41)
This gives the reader the first indication of Lear's intent to abdicate his
throne. He goes on further to offer pieces of his kingdom to his daughters as a
form of reward to his test of love.
"Great rivals in our youngest daughter's love,
Long in our court have made thei ....

Media Vs. Masses...Who Controls Who?
901 Words - 4 Pages.... the public it caters to. In the thirties,
media mimicked sleepytime Sunday morning political debates that one would
watch on the public access channel. They, in many ways were considered
"boring." Networks were growing more interested in attracting their
audiences. As the years advanced and technology followed, media began
taking different approaches to arouse the public. Conflicts on television
where seen as a more interesting and productive approach to increasing
ratings. After a while, interviewers would attempt to provoke debate, mud
throwing and even emotion out of it's political guests. Politicians who be
allowed air-time to address questions presented by viewers ....

Beware Of Television
869 Words - 4 Pages.... consciousness at a
fast pace does not allow him to analyze and comprehend it properly. For example,
let us make a comparison between reading and viewing. The pace of reading,
clearly, depends entirely upon the reader. He may read as slowly or as rapidly
as he can or wishes to read. If he does not understand something, he may stop
and reread it, or go in search of elucidation before continuing. The reader can
accelerate his pace when the material is easy or less than interesting, and slow
down when it is difficult or enthralling. He can put down the book for a few
moments and cope with his emotions without fear of losing anything.
Unlike reading, the pace of the t ....

King Lear: Treachery And Deceit
488 Words - 2 Pages.... to increase in its cruelty until he commits an inconceivable crime. Edmund has reached a point in his pursuit of power that he will stop at nothing to gain more. He writes another letter. This one is similar to the first, except instead of implicating his brother to his father, it implicates his father in a plot with France to kill The Duke of Cornwall. The King decides that Gloucester's supposed treachery cannot be tolerated and orders that his eyes be torn out. At this point, Edmund seems to be unequivocally evil. This is undoubtedly false.
Two of the other characters of the play, Goneril and Regan surely equal Edmund's ferocity in their quest for power. Our first ....

Is It An Open Road?
763 Words - 3 Pages.... slightly urging me to move with the fast techno beats. I don’t know what the ad is for yet, but I’m already hooked. Curiosity forces me to open my eyes when a low, soothing male voice speaks. He tells of a warm June day driving in luxury with plenty of room “to hold lots of stuff (like my friends)”. The setting is in a peaceful countryside next to a lake with tall majestic trees including a brightly colored vehicle consuming the pavement. All I’ve caught is a glimpse of this wonderful machine that has an “engine technology that will carry me over the racetracks and to private school”. But the color makes me want to see more. Not the usual black or red. ....
