My Wii U has saved me from boredom everywhere I turn. With it, I can get through a long night of boredom without having to take a break from studying though the system itself is rated badly in reality I think it is actually a great system that Nintendo has been using correctly. The idea of having two screens, one being the TV and the other the Wii U gamepad is a great idea that works especially if you don’t have access to the TV then you can just plug headphones into the gamepad and play using…

Implementing changes to the MPAA, Motion Picture Association of America, rating system eliminates foul behavior, protects children’s environments, and models appropriate language expected from them. The current rating system hurts places such as school, streets, and the home environment. For example, if a teenager watches a NC-17 movie he will act older. Since the content is restricted from the teenager, it will instigate the teen to act more mature and want to act as the actors (Gustafson 1).…

However, because of the increasing number of big corporations, today’s advertising has evolved dramatically. With the evolution of mass advertising by large businesses, local businesses have been having difficulty obtaining costumers and keeping their doors open. When a company is created they have to be able to differentiate themselves in the consumer market this is…

The intellectual elements during The Twenties mainly revolved around the invention of the radio. The radio was able to create a “national mass culture” (Keene, 634). It was able to spread news and stories, as well as, promote the sale of certain products. People who were able to obtain these radios, which was about 60 percent of the American population, gathered around them to hear the latest in sports and elections (Keene, 634). The radio provided a quick and easy way to spread information.…

method of forgetting about the real world similar to alcohol. Acceptance of entertainment addiction and alcoholism is a socially constructed idea which shaped the American Identity. The typical stereotype of American families sitting around the television and enjoying a drink was not recently established. The truth is the acceptance of alcohol and entertainment dependence stems from the 1920’s and has grown widespread…

Across the years there have been many types of art styles. Back in the 1960s there were stranger ways, at least to present day. These arts were dancing, music, and fashion. Here are way that the 2000s and 1960s were different and the same. The first one on the list is dancing. Dancing back in the 60s was more about imitation. They would copy anything from surfing to mashing potatoes,but now it's more about doing something random like sneezing. But on contrast they are kind of similar, in the…

interpretation. One of my favorite examples of a well written play is “The Farnsworth Invention” by Aaron Sorkin. This play is a fiction interpretation of the battle of inventing television. You have boy genius Philo Farnsworth competing against business mogul David Sarnoff. The story is a race to determine who really invented television. By straying away from historical accuracy, and by utilizing the story telling methods of a play, Sorkin tells a story with two extreme sides…

The critically acclaimed series, based on Alfred Hitchock’s 1960s classic movie titled “Psycho” was brought back to life with a modern twist through A&E’s “Bates Motel.” The last viewers saw of “Bates Motel” was when Norman (played by Freddie Highmore) still couldn’t believe the fact that his mother is already long gone from this world. His obsession led him to dig up Norma’s grave. Norma Bates (played by Vera Farmiga) is really dead. As Norman lost consciousness during the “Bates Motel”…

unpleasant or disturbing information, and our mass media reflect this. But unless we get up off our fat surpluses and recognize that television in the main is being used to distract, delude, amuse, and insulate us, then television and those who finance it, those who look at it, and those who work at it, may see a totally different picture too late.” Murrow believes television and radio has been corrupted by having sponsors only broadcast information that Americans want to hear and not what they…
