Media: Incites Violence
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. To implicate mass media as being an influential force over the prevalence of violence in today's society is to recognize the intrinsic impact such avenues as television, radio and magazines have upon an impressionable global community. Indeed, various forms of media regularly infuse the not-so-subtle factors associated with gratuitous violence to such an extent that viewers are no longer shocked by the bludgeoning death or decapitation of a fellow human being. Instead, this desensitization has served to encourage the public to engage in that much more violent aspects of contemporary media, not the least of which includes the overt violent depiction found in video games. In a society where violence takes center stage where media sources are concerned, one might readily surmise how children stand to be the greatest casualty. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Media: Portrayal Of White Suspects Compared To Black Suspects In The Criminal Justice System
[ send me this essay ]
11 pages in length. One of the most damning aspects of racial stereotypes is the manner in which all members of a particular race become grouped together for the actions of a relative few. By casting the negative light of racial profiling toward being Black, Mexican, Asian or any number of other ethnic races, it shows a great deal of ignorance and disrespect for that individual; just because someone is a member of a certain race does not mean that they represent any of the negative connotations associated with that race. African-Americans and Latinos are victims of this sort of prejudice on a regular basis by being regularly interrogated by law enforcement. It can readily be argued that the police are decidedly more prejudice toward some races than they are toward others; for this reason, certain races are badgered with no other justification than because of their color. However, law enforcement officials are not the only ones who misconstrue reality and perpetuate racial discord, inasmuch as the media have long incited controversy by participating in racial profiling.

Media: Skewed Perspective Of Reality
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Historically, the media have not earned the most stellar of reputations when it comes to portraying reality; indeed, the manner by which media advertising skews the perspective of reality has come to represent a commonplace approach to capitalistic consumerism. Proponents of television advertising contend that there is one phrase for those who are prone to the deceptiveness of broadcast media advertising: caveat emptor. They argue that it is not up to the advertiser to be responsible for the buyer's gullibility, even if that buyer happens to be a child. Indeed, it can easily be argued that there is some form of deception in most all advertising; employing actors to looks as though they are enjoying a particular product influences viewers to respond in the same fraudulent fashion.

Microsoft’s DirectBand Network and Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT)
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Microsoft’s DirectBand Network and Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT). In the fall of 2002, Microsoft introduced their new Smart Personal Objects Technology (SPOT) which rely on data download from their new DirectBand Network. The DirectBand Network utilizes the unused portions of the FM radio bandwidths already essentially established and the SPOT devices such as watches, key chains, and refrigerator magnets to name a few, download up-to-date information such as weather, sports, traffic, news, stock quotes, movies and other options such as personal messages to the user. While the new technology is considered less expensive in its implementation and the devices are also expected to be reasonably priced (and available in the fall of 2003), critics question whether or not these devices will make a substantial impact on a market that already has a great deal of choice in regards to hand held information devices such as cell phones and Pocket PCs. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
