I was lucky to grow up in a predominantly screen-free environment. Watching television was a deliberate activity, not a default. I was not reliant upon external stimuli and I rarely experienced boredom or a lack of creativity. Living in the country, I had the space and freedom to explore in nature and to live an active lifestyle. I had the privilege of experiencing childhood and play as it was “in the good ol’ days” before Western culture developed a screen dependency. The benefits of growing…

When people envision what television is today it is quite simple: a large screen with HD quality and hundreds of channels which are easy to access. Unbelievably there was a time where television was not like that, where quality was not all that mattered, where viewers only had a certain amount of channels to access.

His mechanical television depended on the revolving disks to transfer the images from a transmitter to a…

Gang Violence is Not What’s Up! Breaking News! Breaking News! In some cities breaking news only mean something negative, there is nothing positive coming from hearing breaking news on the television. Hopefully they do not see their loved name being said or picture on the TV saying they did not make it, or clinging to life. Parents may worry every time their child steps outside to go to school or a friend’s house, and their child coming home is a relief. Events may come unnoticed, without…

The idea of Raymond came from a fishing excursion in the Gulf of Mexico when Rays scouts saw an idiosyncratic animal was drawn to their boat. Then, the creature clambered onto the boat and “won the scouts over with his silly antics”, invigorating one of them to make the creature the mascot for their new baseball team. This animal was named Raymond and his history is fascinating and unique. Raymond deserves to be in the Mascot Hall of Fame because he has impacted the students and youth of his…

viewing aspects of life that we don’t typically consider often, from articles that shine a light on the horrors of “Tent City”, to writings of the reality of working as a paramedic. However, the article that presented the strongest argument is “Television" by Todd Alcott. His approach to the conflict presented in his writings managed to submerge the reader into his argument, that makes the rhetoric of his statement that much more effective. We have also had a great assortment of unique videos in…

On September 11th, 2001, the twin towers were bombed. The media played a huge part in how the attack was portrayed to the country and the rest of the world. The media, in most cases, controls and influences how violence is perceived by society. The media hints that individuals watch violent shows to numb themselves from reality. People also use these violent acts as an excuse to hate or discriminate on a particular race. These ideas of images portraying violence and sadism is illustrated in…

In America today, we see a lot of Television shows that blur or censor specific content, specifically nudity and foul language. In other countries and communities around the world censorship of the human body and language this would seem out of the norm.

Westernized thoughts and idealism of what is proper and acceptable behavior on broadcasted entertainment tends to be…
