Words: 3448 - Pages: 13.... like paperback and trade books dominated by still fewer firms . In this environment the usual democratic expectation for the media -- diversity of ownership and ideas -- has disappeared as the goal of official policy and, worse, as a daily experience of a generation of American readers and viewers.
Narrowing the diversity of news coverage even further is the ever-looming presence of the advertiser or corporate supporter. Advertisers have pressured more than 90 percent of U.S. newspapers to change or kill stories, reported a recent study by Marquette University's Department of Journalism . The same number of newspapers had advertisers th .....

"boring." Networks were growing more interested in attracting their
audiences. As the years advanced and technology followed, media began

"The Truth About Foolishness" In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
Words: 953 - Pages: 4.... the simpleton, or a
"natural" fool. Sir Andrew Aguecheek is an excellent example. Although Sir
Andrew is funny, it is not intentional. His faults include a lack of wit, a
tendency to be easily amused, and the opportunity to be manipulated by others
to be accepted. His foolishness is revealed innocently, as he considers
himself a gentleman.
His attempts to flirt with Maria by showing how clever he is fail when Sir
Toby advises him to accost, in other words, to woo her. Sir Andrew thinks
"accost" is her name as he addresses her, "Good Mistress Mary Accost-" (I, III,
54). After his embarrassing introduction to Maria, Sir Andrew trie .....

performers looked good but the way I see it is anyone who does not have a
good meaning of Mexican history is lost. I mean there were elementary

Julius Caesar: Loyalty
Words: 852 - Pages: 4.... been involved, the country of Rome would not have been torn apart. Or
perhaps if loyalty to all and everything had been involved a great ruler
named Caesar would have reigned for years. If the people of Rome would
have remained loyal to Caesar perhaps a war would not have occurred, in
fact, it most certainly would not have. After the death, the angry mob
should have put the conspirators to death, not let them toy with their
minds as they would a five year old. The mob, like a great many people,
believe what is easiest to hear. In the mob of people did loyalty exist?
Doubtful, little if any. What coexisted in the crowd with that lit .....

Star Wars: An Intergalactic Joyride
Words: 652 - Pages: 3.... is the skill of writer
and director George Lucas to blend the old with the new. They were both
impressed with his miraculously fresh configuration of many different themes
from classic film and mythic origin into a cohesive and entertaining movie. He
has achieved a witty and exhilarating synthesis of themes and cliches from the
Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers comics and serials, plus such related but less
expected sources as the western, the pirate melodrama, the aerial combat
melodrama and the samurai epic. The movie's irresistible stylistic charm
derives from the fact that Lucas can draw upon a variety of action-movie
sources with unfailin .....

The two painters met in 1856 and, at first, Monet resisted Boudin's offer of tuition but he eventually relaxed his protestations and before long, the two had forged a relationship that was to last a lifetime. Although Monet soon left Le Havre to spend a large part of his life travelling throughout Europe, he returned frequently to visit his old friend. The interest that had been sparked some years earlier was refined and shaped and Monet was in no doubt as to the extent to which his outlook on life had been altered:
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature; I learned at the same time to love it. .....

The Vietnam War And Hollywood Movies

In a violent game of Russian Roulette with the prisons of war (Americans), the Vietnamese mentally torture the "good" guys. The satanic enemy is presented in the most evil way. Then when the Americans shoot them there is a rush of happiness that the opponent has been eliminated, "die you commi bustards." However, just a year later a whole view of Vietnam changed in Apocalypse Now, 1979. When a dozen of helicopters surrounded a civilian village, the Americans played Moza .....
