Florance Brone a physiologist from Michigan. Media purveyors promote the
message that unrealistic thinness equals sexiness and popularity, which
equals beauty, success and all the "good" things in life. Yet, recent
interviews have revealed that even glamorous and successful supermodels are
afraid of getting fat and what it might do to their careers. In many cases
the media has constructed faulty images that suggest that the influence of

Creativity
Words: 1016 - Pages: 4.... is the soul of the
inventor, painter or poet. Creativity is not equal among most people and in fact
is hindered by " . . . self censorship, that inner voice of judgment that

Violence In The Media
Words: 440 - Pages: 2.... R rated movies, and I can walk into any
store in Connecticut and buy some M rated video games. You know why? No one
cares anymore. They're as desensitized as we are, and that's a good thing. It is
a sad fact that we find violence so entertaining, but hell, it is. I freaking
love to see movies where there are more scenes of mindless violence than there
are actual scenes of acting. These movies are aimed at the lowest common
denominator because intelligent movie goers are as extinct as the Dodo bird.
Movies like Showgirls make more money than Panther because they are more fun,
not because they are better. It will always be this way. The go .....

Words: 539 - Pages: 2.... power of potential human speech? (words, language)
All humans have the power to communicate with other humans, interact, and
share their ideas. The power of speech is what makes it all possible.
Communication is the most important thing in the success of a relationship, and

the only way to do that is to communicate that you want to be listened to and
that you are willing to listen to the one you love. That is the most anyone can
do, and it is a gift of sorts.

pressure peers into becoming part of a gang by making it sound glamorous.
Recruiters will often promise popularity in exchange for their loyalty.
Although most gang members find popularity, it often means losing close friends
to rival gangs. Another crucial factor is the need for money. A 6 year old kid,
who is not yet a member, receives impressions that he or she could make $200 to
$400 for a small gang job. In August of 1996, an eleven year old Compton child
received $400 for killing a rival classmate (Wesbrach, 1996). Although money

notice some things that have changed a great deal since there generation.
My parents have no problems with the way I dress, but they are very
surprised at the large change that took place between our generations.
Long hair, mopcuts, bellbottoms and more are the appearance my parents
remember. I think, as a change for the better, my generation mostly keeps
their hair neat and trim. We habitually wear loose-fitting, comfortable
clothes, and many also wear a hat. These vast changes astonish my parents,
but they do not see them as a step towards a more or less civilized society.
However, they do notice some change .....
