Reality television

The most recent movie I can recall watching that deals with abnormal behavior is American Psycho directed by Mary Harron and staring Christian Bale. This has been one of my favorite movies (and books) for several years primarily due to its deep cultural satire. The movie follows the life of millionaire Patrick Bateman, who is secretly a psychotic serial killer. A series of abnormal, and disturbing, events are presented, including Bateman obsessing over his routine and physical appearance,…

Shoot outs day and night are common for cops, miraculous patient recoveries are everyday norms for doctors, buzzing courtrooms are part of a lawyer’s lifestyle and office romances are inevitable for receptionists, well, at least on TV. Many aspects of TV don’t depict real- life scenarios that happen in these job fields and many others, instead they show the exciting, romanticized, alluring and often skewed, concepts of the job. Cops don’t experience shoot outs every day, half their day or…

96% of families have at least one television in their house (Bigner & Gerhardt, 2014). It is very important for parents to interact with their children face to face. The use of screen time eliminates this possibility because the television and other screens are a distraction to anyone who is watching. Technology has changed significantly in the last fifteen years and has developed more software that is “kid friendly” (Albaiz, Ernest, Essa,Newton, & Sharkins, 2015). Parents need to reduce the…

Television can have long lasting and detrimental effects on children and young adults. While entertaining, watching T.V. can cause negative effects on physical and cognitive health, decreasing children’s amount of physical activity and sometimes impede brain development. Behaviorally, some television shows promote aggressive behavior in children and reinforce stereotypes. When looking into television shows to observe, I decided to select T.V. shows I had watched when I was a child. The Fairly…

What is completely different with the new season of the ABC hit reality show ‘The Bachelorette’? This will definitely shock the viewers. Did ABC just cast the first Black American "Bachelorette" ever? Chris Harrison speaks out. Rachel Lindsay is the new "Bachelorette". She is no ordinary "Bachelorette" as she is the first black "Bachelorette" to run the show. Lindsay is not just the first African American to lead this hit reality show in "The Bachelorette" arena but in "The Bachelor"…

The pilot of the TV show Nobody’s Watching was very disappointing. T o start off, the beginning of the show was very hectic, we are introduced to two guys are talking back a forth very excitedly about televisions and they have their inside jokes. There is background music of a rock band that is playing on and on and it seems like it’s the same part of the song until the end. It was simply very hectic and overwhelming, not to leave out the random crash take sound effects they used to skip from…

The movie, Tarsem Singh’s The Cell, explores concepts in psychology, specifically the themes of child development and criminology. The former topic is something I think I can relate more to as I am still essentially a child. Popular media usually portray the messed up childhood as a possible reason for people becoming criminals, and there’s probably some truth to that. The latter topic interests me the most, since from a young age, I seemed a bit too preoccupied with criminals and killers for my…

The sound of the TV echoed faintly throughout the house, Jyushimatsu being the only brother home at the time. He had wanted to remain home while the rest of his brothers went out to go drink, because his most favorite ever was going to air its season finale. Jyushimatsu really did not want to miss it. The suspense, the drama, and the action! It was the best show ever in his opinion. Osomatsu had told him he could just record the show and watch it later when they all came back. But where was the…
