Through the Cold War, America was transitioning in various ways such as the way messages were shared, consumerism, and the constant race against the Soviet Union. During the years 1959-1964, Rod Serling, a New York writer and playwright began using one of the newest inventions, the television, as a way to share his opinion about controversial topics. The rise of the television allowed Serling to access to a larger audience whom he could share his opinion in the form of science fictional episodes in the show The Twilight Zone. Although the show seems ominous and a horror related TV show, it allows us to understand the effects and feeling towards topics such as a possible nuclear war, consumerism, space exploration.

His liberal viewpoints were forged from hardships of the second World War, which would cause him to suffer great mental distress for the rest of his life, but yet found an outlet through writing to share said opinions. Not all were entirely pleased with how blunt some morals were however, and he turned to the commonly overlooked genre of science fiction. Censorship continued to haunt him though, with many works were turned into a feather duster of what they should have been originally, much too his own dismay. Nevertheless, Serling stood by his works, having used them to inspire others during his time to hopefully spread more broadminded beliefs. Far outshooting his original hopes, Rod Serling has become a visionary cultural icon of the 20th century whose well written works continue to affect the world in ways that could have never been

The Cold War, the Bomb, space travel, aliens, technology -- even morality in general -- are all themes that appear frequently in The Twilight Zone. What sets The Twilight Zone apart, however, is the way in which these topics were presented. In a time of Communist witch-hunts and finger-pointing, it was difficult to present objectively the flaws in American culture without putting oneself at risk. So, Serling disguised his social commentary as science fiction; he hid the shocking facts behind even more shocking fantasy. Radical in its own time and still admired and emulated today, The Twilight Zone set the standard for thoughtful television and inspired a generation to think differently about the changes it was witnessing.

In the fall, Grandma Lynn calls Jack and says she's moving in. That December, Mr. Harvey has been gone over a year, and nobody has been able to find him. Susie feels sorry for Len Fenerman because he didn't solve the crime in time or get the lady. (Apparently, when Abigail left for California, she cut all ties to Len.) Len feels extremely guilty for not solving Susie's case.

Television does not play a large role in the story. In fact, the word “television” is only mentioned three times in the entire novel. If the theme of the story was intended to be moronic television, more emphasis should've been placed on the issue of television. However more emphasis was placed on the conflict of books being banned which is censorship.

Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone, reflected the time it was created and the years that followed. Showcasing the not so black and white version of humanity and all that it entailed. Touching on the effects of the Cold War and the insecurities it brought to American society. Through this outlet in television, he was allowed to express his thoughts on the outlook that people were too afraid to speak about, lest being called out as a traitor or a communist. Almost, blatantly disagreeing with the McCarthyism if not exposing the idea of how ridiculous it was to question if your neighbor was patriotic or not. Rod brought up the anguish and blatantly obvious scenarios that would precede mutually assured destruction.

Shaun Boyd’s article explains that a new law in Colorado is trying to be passed to protect children in the sex trafficking industry. Ms. Boyd is an award winning reported with more than 20 years of experience. Shaun Boyd is a political specialist, because she has covered Colorado legislature and has covered some of Colorado’s biggest political stories, I trust her expertise in this region of reporting.

I triangulated the new Colorado law mentioned in Boyd’s piece with both the Colorado Legal Defense Group and the Denver Post and confirmed that Colorado’s Attorney General pushed for a law that allows law

During World War II, Serling fought Nazi forces in Europe. It was there that he realized the true "wrongs" in the world. Serling understood the world had been blinded by socialist eyes and poisoned by prejudice hearts. He found that with television he could "take a part of the problem, and using a small number of people, get my point across." In this

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

Today was a boring day her at CTL. I spend the whole day counseling recently released prisoner from a local organizations. Normally I only have about three or four , but today I had ten. Out of all of the cases these was one that I could not wrap my finger around. The case consisted of a twenty fur year old man who was just released from prison three days ago.

To be honest the prisoners are more scared of me than I am of them they don’t know what to expect. The first thing that they always say is what doe they think their chances of being accepted by sociality

Challenges that Serling faced from advertisers and censors included the critics not wanting watcher/listeners to be offended by his scripts.His works were “whittled down to avoid controversy” (5) by the censors. Serling wrote controversial scripts that were considered too “taboo” for audiences. The advertisers wanted to tone down his writing in order to make it more appealing to audiences. Rod Serling chose to write science fiction and create his own T.V.show in order to write freely, without the demands of advertisers and censors.Serling was “intent on making sure his stories made their wayto the screen without sacrificing their central message, no matter how controversial they might have been, so Serling decided to simply create his own

In the 1950's the FCC became more hands-on in its role in regulating television. They were instrumental in shaping television due mainly to publishing specific public interest guidelines nicknamed “The blue book”, a set of guidelines set forth to change televisions approach to show making. Some of the facets the FCC pushed to change included reduction in advertising time, increased airing of locally originating programing, and the inclusion of minority perspectives. And while the FCC functions such that they are expressly forbidden from censoring content they have used the potential threat of fines or broadcasting license revocation as motivation to increase the standard television. This was particularly apparent in ‘I Love Lucy’ because of

This is a story about Connerstevens. Connerstevens always had bad luck. He always grabbed that one expired milk from the store, falls into holes, he even falls into the toilets. Until one day. It was a Monday. The worst day of the week. Connerstevens got up as usual, went downstairs, and got the milk and cereal out. As he usually pours the chunky milk over his cereal, the milk was smooth today. He checked the expiration date and it said it expired in ten days. He was super confused. Yesterday the milk had said it expired ten days ago, now the milk expires in ten days. After eating his cereal without chunky milk for the first time ever, he went back upstairs and put his clothes on to go to work. His work is really boring. Today was different.

Unexpectedly, Cousin Linda is on the way coming to see me. Hooray!! What an inspiring word, I missed her to such a point.
