How Does The Big Bang Theory Affect Society

I currently work at the Hunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Administration Medical Center. “The Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center, located in Richmond, Virginia, is a 399-bed facility offering primary, secondary, and tertiary health care in medicine, surgery, neurology, rehabilitation medicine, intermediate care, acute and sustaining spinal cord injury, home care, and palliative care” (Hunter Holmes McGuire VA, 2015). At this facility it is very important that they prepare and manage a budget, so that they can strategize for the future, creating goals and plans. It also creates accountability, since they are spending tax payer’s money.

In class, we begin discussing the impact of the advancement of television content and the way different topics were used to influenced their audiences. Star Trek was a science- fiction television series that aired in the 60’s that was iconic for the metaphorical storyline that was often exude through different characters’ plot that focused on social issues such as poverty, economic status, race and religion. Gene Roddenberry used different character as representation of actual in everyday society, he focuses on issues that were current during that time and successfully address them in the delivery of his show. I found this particularly clever because this allowed him to remain the sole creator of his show and deliver the content that he wanted

In conclusion, television wouldn't quite be the television we know today if it had a limited, narrowed genre of only realistic programs. Television is there to attract the viewers with what they want to see. They may want to watch the news, a reality show, a game show, or most recently many have tuned in to watch the Democratic Presidential Debate. Barbara's idea of television is that without reality or things people can do in real life, boredom is ensured to happen. Despite her claim, television continues to play a big part in not only American culture, but multiple cultures around the

Reality shows – the present of mass media on entertainment which make the big influence to American society. Everybody watched the same stuff, the same old movies, or the same reruns before the cable TV or Internet appeared. For example, the Simpson was a successful sitcom became an institution as important as the cult classic. They poured their shared pop culture experienced into the show. However, the character

“The social fact of television is the glue that holds together and undermines American public life” is completely true, for it reflects our society on how it presents itself. Television was an extension of radio, in that it was created to show a story to the masses.

Four million babies were born each year, the introduction to rock and roll music took place, and more schools and homes were constructed in its cities (History), having a great impact on America and its people at this time. But nothing had as big of an impact on American society and its peoples ideas, as the grand emersion of the television. “Television was not merely entertainment. It was a teacher, offering lessons in what was acceptable in society.” (Stereotypes, page 3) Television and it’s forms of entertainment itself, changed the way people saw gender, class, and moral values

Most relationships, whether they are romantic or not, usually start off harmoniously. Then as time passes conflicts arise. When these conflicts arise, one feels and expresses a variety of emotions that result in positive or negative relationship behaviors. When negative behaviors erupt, the relationship becomes threatened if positive behaviors do not form. This was the situation between Leonard and Penny on The Big Band Theory. I will discuss the conflict, how they began to handle it, how they ended up handling the conflict, and my opinions of

All four of them often find themselves involved in funny situations, at first with just Penny, who happens to live next door to Leonard and Sheldon, but later on with other characters. Most of the television series is centered around Sheldon Cooper who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. His behavior

     What role does television play in society? For decades we have seen many parts of our world rapidly going through changes in technology. Today’s society has been transformed by means of communication and the available information through mass media. Most Americans rely on television for news, sports, and entertainment. Television is just one of the many examples of how technology has changed our lives. Since the invention of the television in the early 1900’s, it has played a very important role in our lives. Having a television set in the home has become very essential in today’s society. We depend on it to entertain us with its sitcoms and to inform us about current world issues. The

The Big Bang Theory has been on CBS television since September 24, 2007. The premise of the show revolves around two brilliant physicists who work together at Cal Tec: Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper. They are not only colleges but also roommates and best friends. Sheldon is eccentric and introverted while struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder and unique, yet very scientific, approach to the world. Leonard is a combination of the extrovert personality and introvert personality. He keeps his friends close and tries to maintain peace but is not always comfortable in confrontational situations and is the leader of the group. They are surrounded by mostly likeminded friends’ mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz, and astrophysicist

Case History: Sheldon was raised in Galveston, Texas along with his elder brother and fraternal twin sister (Missy) by his mother, Mary Cooper, an overtly devout Evangelical Christian; and George Cooper, an alcoholic who was never around.The only member of his family to have encouraged his work in science was his grandfather. Sheldon was interested in physics from an early age, and was a child prodigy, although due to his behavioral quirks and his lack of humility about his superior intellect, he was bullied by classmates and neighbors. Sheldon entered college at the age of eleven, and at age fourteen he graduated from college. From then, he worked on his doctorate, was a visiting professor at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, and was the youngest person at the time to receive the Stevenson Award. Sheldon is now a theoretical physicist doing research at Caltech. He displays an almost total lack of social skills, a tenuous understanding of humor, and difficulty recognizing irony and sarcasm in other people, although he himself often employs them. He exhibits a general lack of humility or empathy. Throughout the show he is in his mid to late 20’s and has a personality that has encompassed these traits and remained static the entire time. Sheldon Cooper requires treatment because his disorder hinder his opportunities of social communication and also creates a need for

In order to fit in to society, some people may modify their own actions based on the perceived reality of the TV show. It is easy to reality TV programs and the way they are perceived, could affect society as a whole.

The article “” states that “gender identity is enacted through a variety of self-presentational strategies including attire, non-verbal and verbal behavior all of which interact with others per existing expectations”. Penny dresses in clothing that show off her body. It is clear through her appearance and interactions with others that Penny is valued for her sexuality. Most of Penny’s interaction with the other main characters point out her lack of knowledge. Consisting of the men having to explain there conversations in the most simplistic way, or pointing our her community college education compared to their accelerated programs at MIT, and Cal Tec. Another indication that Penny lacks talent and intelligence is the fact that although she aspires to be an actress in the six seasons The Big Bang Theory has aired Penny has been working as a waitress at The Cheese Cake Factory, and on multiple occasion the characters have made comments indicating that she is a bad waitress. The only advancement made to her career was when she started

Astronomers believed the Universe was created about 14 billion years ago. During that time, the entire Universe was inside a bubble that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead, and it was insanely hot and dense. Out of nowhere this little bubble started expanding. This expansion created what we know as the Universe. In such little time the Universe went from the size of an atom to the ginormous galaxy we have that is continuously growing.

Can T.V. shows be the reflection of our society or influence the behavior of the members of our community? Since 1936 when television broadcasting begin, it priority was to inform and to entertain our society; subsequently, a massive amount of rules and regulations were created to control the material presented in TV, which principal goal was to safeguard the moral and ethical standards of it time. Nevertheless, from its beginning to the present home entertainment television standards contents have change; likewise, the moral an ethics values of our society have change and continuing changing from generation to generation.
