Is Banksy’s film “Exit Through the Gift Shop” considered a documentary or hoax? Many viewers have been contemplating this unfathomable conundrum ever since its release. I believe the film to be precise in its credence. According to movie critic Roger Ebert, “The widespread speculation that “Exit Through the Gift Shop” is a hoax only adds to its fascination” (rogerebert.com). Ebert explains his point of view by stating how the film could be ideated as inconceivably true. IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT…
Developmental myths and beliefs have been passed down for generations and now as a new generation, century, and life style is being developed more and more developmental myths are being created. Some are silly and harmless, but other are being proven by science to actually cause a developmental delay instead of developmental benefits. One of the new century myths is about making your baby smarter by watching baby TV. Some parents are trying to get their children ahead of the game and are using…
Everyone knows about the American movie business. Millions of dollars go into financing big movie projects just to entertain ourselves away from the real world, and millions of dollars are sent back in tickets to go see these films. Certainly, this business has been booming for the past one-hundred years, and we keep on fueling the fire. Movies aren’t just about entertainment only. Many films have become part of the American culture, and many films from the US show how Americans think and…
In todays time the media positively portrays the Autism disability. Many of the recent television series have depicted a character with an Autistic disability. The hit television show Greys Anatomy has illustrated this disability very well. In season 5 they had a new character Dr. Dixon enter the hospital.

No matter what, someone somewhere seems to have an opinion with the need to voice it. Opinions are a tricky topic, although they may be intangible, people value them more than life itself. People automatically have an opinion whether it is “Whatever.”, or “My thoughts run along the lines of...” and so on and so forth. They can be told in many types of ways, they can be said as they want to help you with constructive criticism, or they can be unnecessary and no help whatsoever. Opinions are a…
media has a great influence on the image of nursing. The public’s image of nursing is predominantly based on misconceptions and stereotypes, which distorts images of nurses in the media (Ten, Jansen & Roodbol, 2014, p.4).

extremely biased deem them believable. Representation is also seen in television shows and films, which also educate us in a sense but mostly stereotypically. These representations can leave negative connotations and even if minorities do speak up they are often ignored. The chosen example for this…
informal type of language. I also observed that in the television series the judges are very opinionated, brutish, and direct where a judge is seen as wise, professional, and tough. The reason why the court-reality judges act the way they do is because they want their ratings to be high and they want to keep the viewers entertained and keep them wanting to see more of the show. People may think the courtroom are the same as it is displayed on television but it is not correct. The people and the…
Charlie Brown & The Gang Throughout your childhood, it is more than likely that you have watched one if not all of the holiday specials that Charles M. Schulz has contributed to society through his legendary Peanuts cartoons. Whether it’s “The Great Pumpkin” or “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, Schulz’s animations have remained a tradition in American families’ homes for years. With his endearing characters and moral lessons, Schulz has created an archive of masterpieces that don’t seem to be leaving…
these problems, unfortunately, have to do with sexism. The producer of The Bachelor abandons all morals in a bid to increase the show’s ratings, for money, by creating catfights and even encouraging the women to slut-shame one another on national television. Millions of women at home find great pleasure in watching the total humiliation of other women, and the worse things get for the contestants, the better the ratings. Contestants degrade and undermine each other in an effort to make…
