Four definitions were found to be contenders in this research paper’s definition of “violence”. The first definition is from Gerbner which he first defined in his cultivation theory in 1976. He defined violence as such, “the overt expression of physical forces against others or self, or the compelling of action against one’s will on pain of being hurt or killed”. The second definition is from Bandura (1983) where he defines aggression as a “behavior that results in personal injury and physical…

Joseph Barbera I could write ten-to-twenty page papers on Joseph Barbera. He is a household name for many that were children during the era of the 1960’s and 70’s and still holds popularity through his animated works that have surpassed his prime and life. Some background about Joseph Barbera, he was born March 24th, 1911 to parents Vincent Barbera and Francesca Calvacca. He grew up in New York City. It is written of Barbera in Bio magazine that “In 1936, he found work at the MGM studios. In…

I also didn’t know what to expect, was it going to be a big dog, a little dog? Was it gonna be black, white, or brown? As soon as I walked in I saw our soon to be new puppy. It was a brown boxer that really kinda looked like scooby doo. I remember just running up to the puppy and just petting him and playing with him for the whole time we were at the house. As a kid it was just so amazing to have a companion like that. One that wouldn’t hurt you and if you were sad he always was…

When I was young, I was too curious for my own well-being. This included me taking apart a vacuum in a quest to comprehend how a machine made red circles on my arms and face when I pressed the nozzle on my skin (something my mom had to explain in embarrassment to my kindergarten teacher); and using my favoured medium of “black sharpie” to create a portrait, equal in beauty and value to a Da Vinci painting, on the kitchen wall. My mom still tells of the trouble I elicited when I was younger,…

For this assignment I chose to do option one of sex roles on television (TV). I will be evaluating the sex roles on TV through shows for all different ages and time periods. I chose to watch and evaluate, The Flintstones (1960-1966), Scooby Doo Where Are You? (1970), The Powerpuff Girls (1998-2005), Orange Is The New Black (2013-current) and Fuller House (2016-current). I will be evaluating these shows in chronological order of the time periods in which the shows came out. These shows are all…

April 4 2007 and my family and I were eating at Pizza Hut for my birthday supper. We order our pizza, breadsticks, and pop. While we were waiting for our food, I decided to open my presents. I opened my present from my sister first. She gave me a Scooby-Doo movie. The smallest and the last present was from my parents. I was very confused about what it could be and wondered if it was money, a gift card, or some kind of ticket. I lifted the lid off of the long, short box and literally flipped out…

challenged my character depth and perspective soon after those brownies were made. Anthony, a boy who can light up the room with his conniving grin, was labeled as being on the spectrum or also known as autistic. He has a love for Nascar, earthworms and Scooby-Doo. He constantly asks questions and gets into mischief, so you can imagine how making brownies went. We cracked the eggs, added the water and poured the powder into a bowl. As I progressed to mix the rich, chocolatey goodness, I looked…

way through the crowd to arrive faster at their destination. As a kid, I've always wanted a hoverboard from the classic film franchise “Back to the future”. As depicted in the film, it would be fun to hover and float swiftly around a city. In Scooby Doo: Where are you? Velma constantly gropes and blindly searches for her glasses. Many people have different and discordant opinions from our current presidential candidates.…

unhealthy eating habits in our society. In David Barboza’s “If You Pitch It, They Will Eat” (2003), Barboza claims that “Product tie-ins are everywhere. There are SpongeBob SquarePants Popsicles, Oreo Cookie preschool counting books, and Keebler’s Scooby Doo Cookies”. He is basically saying that there are big junk food companies trying to push their advertising onto things that kids find interesting. I remember the same thing happening when I was a kid, I would be conned into getting a box of…

with them except chat for a little bit and then go to bed. So Aunt Nell gave my sister and I milk in a glass some cookies. Then, we sat down on the couch while Uncle Dick read Green Eggs and Ham by: Dr. Seuss. After that, all of us kids watched Scooby Doo. Life Lesson: Hold your family dear, because they won’t always be…
