The Jerry Springer Show

Jerry Springer Show “JERRY! JERRY!” A common chant on the set of the Jerry Springer Show. What could this crowd possibly be cheering for? Maybe Jerry performs dare-devil acts, or perhaps he is a talented athlete? Unfortunately that is not the case. Jerry is mediating a fiery argument between two conflicting parties. On the outside it might seem Jerry is doing something productive and positive but sadly, Jerry assists and advocates savage ways in solving conflicts. Most of these conflicts consist of arguing over who is the father of a pregnant womans child, or who cheated on who. The immorality of the show is quite evident, showcasing personal and discrete matters for any viewer to see like it is no big deal. Even though The Jerry Springer Show…

had passed since my step daddy’s arrest, he and I still hadn’t found any meaningful work yet. And instead of looking for work like I had done every day so far, my step daddy just spent most of his day on the couch drinking beers purchased with what little money we had left in savings.

As he self-loathed while getting drunk, he would sulk to anyone who would lend him a sympathetic ear and gripe about…

The book, No End in Sight: The Rachael Scdoris Story, records her story. Living in Central Oregon myself, I am aware of some of the bullying she endured as a blind child. The book tells about school bullies taunting her, and knocking her books out of her hands. In one episode she reacted by making a well know obscene gesture with a finger at her tormenter. The school contacted her father, Jerry, and asked him to get her to stop behaving like that. Bullying had been a regular part of what she had…

the idea of social class through shows such as jerry springer, and the real housewife’s series. They give us two polar opposites as a way to clearly define the difference between higher and lower classes. We are constantly inundated with the idea that the poor are as Barbara Skeggs puts its “abject and irresponsible, ungovernable, dirty white, pointless and Useless, supposedly refusing not only to accrue value to themselves, but also represented as a Drain on the nation and a blockage to the…

Violence has definitely widespread in sports, the more violence the more viewers. Seeing people get physically hurt draws in many viewers, for some reason it amuses them. Today you’ll see a lot of fighting in sports. R Todd Jewell say, “People like to see big dudes smashing into each other, if you take away the violence there would be no football”. The more action the more fans. I personally think that is true because when something like that happens it makes me want to watch it even more. Every…

in the media while men adopt strong, dignified postures. The seventh pattern is that women of color are very underrepresented. Black women are becoming more represented in the media, but Latinas, Asians, and Native Americans are nearly completely invisible in the media. When women of color are represented, they are shown in a stereotypical way. The representation that women of color do get in the media usually presents in a typecast of either “good girls” or “bad girls.” often corresponding…

Natural born Killers shows us to see the other side of the coin. Our humanness, and what is naturalized in killing, is more human than natural. To be human is to step apart and outside nature. We, humans, distinguish ourselves as more than nature. Somehow more conscious or self-aware in such a way that we can reject our basic foundations of our own absurdity. We are not God’s gift to earth – we are natural born killers. Our humanness is not unlike I Love Lucy radically fabricated. Every crevice…
