In a discourse at a mosque in Baltimore, Maryland, yesterday, President Obama proclaimed that "our TV shows ought to have Muslim characters that are random to national security". Similarly as with anything that Obama says in regards to Muslims that is not identified with vaporizing them with an automaton strike, it didn't run over too well with traditionalists. That wasn't a lot of a shock, as any show of sympathy or compassion from the president is seen by the conservative as weakness or more awful, conspiracy. What was shocking, in any case, was that Obama would indicate TV as a method for facilitating social and religious pressure, when it's regularly utilized for precisely the inverse reason. One could indicate examples in which TV was the harbinger of an all the more simply, equivalent society. Star Trek highlighted a milestone interracial kiss between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols in the late 1960s on NBC primetime. Sitcoms like Family Matters, Martin and The Cosby Show transmitted dark culture the nation …show more content…
As Obama brought up in his discourse yesterday, depictions of Muslims pattern toward the sort of thing you see on Homeland – beguiling spies or murderous fear based oppressors. Country maker Howard Gordon is additionally in charge of fear mongering activity dramatization 24 and FX's Tyrant. Despot is an intriguing contextual investigation since it could be viewed as a regular family dramatization. Adam Rayner (obviously, he's not an Arab) plays Bassam Al-Fayeed, a pediatrician who lives with his better half and kids in Pasadena, California. Gracious, yet hold up! He's not only a specialist. He's likewise the child of a merciless Middle Eastern tyrant and has been concealing this reality for a considerable length of time. After his dad kicks the bucket, he needs to backpedal to the anecdotal Arab country from which he came to make things right and abstain from getting

The first reason Obama’s executive action is a terrible idea is because the program he created only makes people that have been here for 5+ years legal. To begin with, the program Obama created call the DAPA allows people to live in the US without permission allowing them to work openly.(Supreme Court…) This informs us that they are working without permission which means they are working illegally. This will strain our economy because the people that are actually doing the right thing don’t get anything out of doing the right thing and being legal. In addition, Newsela stated, “The DAPA covers immigrants who have been in the US for more than 5 years.”(Supreme Court…) This explains to us that Obama isn’t doing anything major about the immigration problem, he is just making a minor adjustment. When he needs to make a bigger adjustment to fix the problem. Likewise, it would make life better for only 5 million immigrants.(Supreme Court…) This reveals that if we allow the immigrants that have been here for 5 years stay it
When Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States in 2009, people expected change and for him to be successful in his role. This was backed by the highest popular vote in over 20 years and having the largest democratic win since Lyndon Johnson in 1963 (p793.(2010).Jacobs,LR., King,DS.) During his first few months in office he had 60% approval ratings, and was able to push for certain policies due to the strong Democrat Congress. However after his first 5 years in office his approval ratings fell, and his formerly Democratic Congress has weakened over the last two congressional elections with the Republican numbers in Congress rising to their highest majority since 1949((2014)infoplease).
President Trump has been attacking NFL players who have protested against oppression of people of color by kneeling during the National Anthem. In doing this, he has been suppressing the natural rights of the NFL and its players. The Declaration of Independence states, “... they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” (Jefferson 1). Natural Rights are given to everyone at birth and cannot be taken away. Henceforth, the president has been restraining the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from the NFL.
It has been seven years since President Barack Obama took over the commander in chief in the United States. In his speech, he acknowledged that America being the most powerful country in the world, in his term he has not been able to achieve all the campaign promises: one of them is bringing together the divided Capitol Hill. He also acknowledged that in his presidency, his party has worsened and has only one promise of trying to better it.
Due to the political unease of the of the 60’s and 70’s, many social issues were addressed in the T.V. world instead of in other arenas. Much of the media was merely industrial, but even comedies and T.V. dramas addressed social problems of the day. Norman Lear’s situation comedies, particularly All in the Family, dealt with controversial issues of the day that T.V. sometimes avoided, such as race relations, feminism, sexuality, and abortion. M*A*S*H chose to mix the humor of a sitcom with the horror of a war. A new wave of minority comedies, such as Stanford and Son, Good Times, Chico and the Man, and The Jefferson’s, employed stereotypes of the day. T.V. continued to threaten the viability of motion photos, which were forced to go where
Maya Syag Introduction: In culture Television has a great effect on viewer understanding, As a result of that fact television is greatly affected by current events in order to help viewer understanding and promote a discussion.

Additionally I will research issues of race in America and how that was portrayed on television as a result of the recent racial divide caused by the various police shootings of innocent unarmed black men.
It’s in our nature to make snap connections at the mere mention of a word or idea — mention “apple,” and someone might respond instantly with “orange.” Likewise, mention the Democratic Party of the U.S. and most people will immediately begin to imagine someone resembling the same spirit and character as the person they believe to represent it — a person who consistently champions for the rights of the less advantaged (that is to say, citizens living below the poverty line and citizens who still face discrimination in daily life) and strives for the better progress of a nation (like raising minimum wage and increasing jobs). For me, one such person is Barack Obama. Due to his unwavering and diplomatic nature, I believe Barack Obama represents a true Democrat.
Chapter 5: Victim-Offender Mediation covers the concepts, components, elements, methodology and history of VOM. In this chapter the authors described the dimensions of VOM Effectiveness. This covers restitution and repair of damage, recidivism, diversion, cost fairness participation rates and participant satisfaction. The others even covered concerns and ongoing issues like compromising the separate preparation of the victim and offender prior to the mediation session, pressuring participation and controlling the dialogue, applying VOM in cross-culture contexts, and cultivating a referral base. (Umbreit, M. and Armour, M.P. 2006 p. 136) VOM remains central to the restorative justice movement because it serves to remind us of the centrality of the victim and the victim’s harm and the power of the victim’s voice and story to advance the dialogue, creating the context for offender’s accountability and deep learning. (Umbreit, M. and Armour, M.P. 2006 p. 137)

(MV to CONC) In terms of motivation, the EMRC report suggests that the main culprits are “Islamophobic, negative and unwarranted portrayals of Muslim London as Londonistan and Muslim Londoners as terrorists, terrorist sympathizers and subversives in sections of the media” (p.12) . while ,bizarrely some attacks appear to have been motivated by the association of Muslims with Barack Obama, the report also recognized the role of the political ideologies of those from within the “violent extremist nationalist milieu” (p.12) linking in both the BNP and EDL.
Early prenatal care can prevent potential medical problems and increase opportunities for positive outcomes for mothers and infants.
What is an Arab? In a great number of movies Hollywood provides the answer to this question: Arabs are cruel murderers, sleazy rapists, religious fanatics, oil-rich dimwits, and abusers of women (Shaheen 2). This is how Hollywood shows Arabs to the world. Throughout the history we can trace the discrimination in several media industry against African-American, Jewish, and Hispanic people. However, in some North America’s media Arabs are depicted more negatively than any other nationality. Media shapes the public opinion, it is our window to the world. The misrepresentation and misperception of Arabs in North America’s media have led to political, religion, and culture conflict. The given paper will prove that the way media depicts Arabs negatively affected the Israeli-Arab conflict.
Barack Obama’s story is a story that has been infused into his genetic foundation, the idea that his nation is greater than the sum of it. The parts which are many, they are just one. Obama believes that we can’t work out the challenges of our time unless we come together as one and unite to solve them . We all want a better future for our children and grandchildren and unless we perfect the union by understanding that we all have many different stories, each one is unique. But one thing that everyone do have in common is hope, which can’t give up on. Obama’s belief comes from his dense faith and generosity of the American people.
Television is a form of media that has been around since the 1950’s and has made slow but steady progress in representing everyone since then. We have come a long way from the shows about a white American, upper middle class, nuclear family that lives in the suburbs. Today, representation in television is much broader, but still has shortcomings. From the 1950’s to the 1990’s, many shows were about families or a group of friends, such as The Brady Bunch, Cheers, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Progress has been made prior to the 2010’s but nowhere near as much progress as the shows that have been aired in this current decade.
