Television And The Legal Profession Of Television

Television has been criticized as “a vast cultural wasteland”. Tv is supposed to be something that people use for fun and entertainment not a way to get away from your problems. Now with that being said this quote is trying to say that tv is useless. I think the reason that some people think that tv is useless is because of shows like SpongeBob and family guy. Sponge bob is a very popular kids show that has been around for years but doesn’t benefit the people watching it in anyway. In fact, watching a cartoon like SpongeBob can damaged the mind of many people and children with the stupidity that’s done on the show. Then you have a show like family guy where the things done can be called stupid but at the same time the things done are realistic but the only problem with a show like that is that it’s very inappropriate for kids to watch because of all the inappropriate behavior and violence that that is shown in a show like that. Another problem with tv isn’t the tv it’s the people. The shows are there to watch and to enjoy but it’s up to the person to watch it or the parent to allow their child to watch that. I don’t think that tv is a vast cultural wasteland because there are many different thins to see and watch and learn you just have to watch the right shows and use the right channels. Sometimes watching tv can even be fundamental.

A Florida woman by the name Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez was given to the authority’s that this woman had abducted her child, Which Casey was lying. Casey had ruined this women reputation by lying on her and a lawsuit would be filed. In December of 2008 a Utility worker found Skeletal remains in a wooded area near the Anthony home.

A while ago when someone thinks of careers in criminal justice, they most likely imagine men in any positions that come to mind. Maybe because most feel the field of criminal justice is unsafe, stressful, and unpredictable. Before 1972, the number of women employed in the criminal justice system as police officers, correctional officers, lawyers, and judges was a small number. This is understandable: statistics from a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs – Bureau of Justice Statistics show that men outnumber women in all areas of federal law enforcement, in most places making up at least 75 percent of the workforce. Now according to the United States Department of Labor, women make up 46.8% of the US workforce.

The sociocultural perspective may be used to describe this behavior. Being a female lawyer, she is looked down upon by her male coworkers. More is expected of her as any small mistake is scrutinized because she is a woman.

As a female, they have to demonstrate themselves on the field, and after years of working, women have to prove themselves as a leader. Woman will be under speculation and analysis of their performance, and it does not only apply to criminal justice jobs; consequently, it applies to every high ranking job.

Ever since the invention of television, image and reputation became the real weapons of politics. Television has influenced everything since its invention in 1940 (Campbell). From product and movie ads, to news bulletins and important congressional hearings, television has changed the way how viewers look at the world; especially the way we vote. The very first televised debate was held on September 26, 1960 between “Tricky Dick” and JFK (Menand). The television allowed most of America to view the inner workings of deciding who would run the country next, instead of reading what happened in the last debate in Sunday’s paper or hearing it on the radio. Though some listened to Nixon and Kennedy go back and forth on the issues on that Monday night,

The criminal justice system has a history of showing chivalry towards women than men. Which can show they believe that women are the weaker sex and do not put women on the same level of men’s. Women have always seemed to have a disadvantage when it comes to just being compared to men.

Crime dramas also tend to portray women as unable to have a career and simply be happy. Women are unrealistically portrayed in the workplace. There always seems to be a character that is running from a personal demon. There is Olivia Benson in Law and Order: SVU who cannot maintain a meaningful relationship with a man. She is either constantly single or sucked into a relationship that has several problems such as a boyfriend on the police force who finds himself in a bind because of his tendency to indulge in illegal activities. CSI’s Catherine Willows always struggled with motherhood and being a single mom. She has an ex-husband who, for the longest time throughout the

In order to examine gender discriminatory pay practices in Hollywood, there needs to be a comparison between men and women performing the same exact job. In cinema, it could be the case that actors and actresses are simply not working in exactly the same industry. Since they are not playing the same character, and the fact that film offers different genres by which actors and actresses are defined within, the pay difference may be due to the variation between roles. An action star generally gets paid more relative to a melodramatic role, and throughout the history of Hollywood, men usually occupy the role of “big action star." Men like John Wayne, Tom Cruise, Cary Grant, Humphry Bogart, James Cagney, and Arnold Schwarzenegger receive salary benefits because they are generational icons, starring in big budget, high grossing films. There are certainly examples of female action stars, like Sigourney Weaver

Examples of law in popular culture are numerous and appear in a variety of Medias. Instances of the law can historically can be found in classic radio shows and novels. In today's time television, video games and modern streaming sites seem to dominate the intersection of law and society. Popular shows like how to Get Away with Murder or Criminal Minds capture small fragments of the law while still holding the viewer's interest. Yet, as new forms interaction like social media applications have been introduced to society, new intersections with law have also occurred. Apps like Instagram are extremely significant in Today's popular culture. It has become so important that some people even measure a public figures appeal by how many followers they have. At first glance it might seem as if the law lacks presence in the media culture but, that assumption is incorrect. Instagram and the law intersect all the time and in a variety of ways. In this paper there will be an attempt to explain three including advertisement, user posts and development.

Elle Woods is probably best known for her pink pantsuit and funny quotes; however, she should also be remembered for her strong message about woman empowerment. Legally Blonde highlights how women are stereotyped and underrepresented in the workforce. According to A Current Glance at Women in Law, women only make up 27.1% of federal and state judgeships, and women only make 89% of what a man would make in the same job in legal services (American Bar Association, 2017). Elle Woods serves as an inspiration to all woman who wants to go to law school, despite what society thinks of them.

Much research has investigated the role of gender (Ehrlich 2006, Feinstein 2001, Montague 2013, Walters 1994) and gendered language (Chapman 1993, Hublar 2015) in courtrooms, focusing particularly on witnesses and jurors or written law. Attention has also been paid to the language of women lawyers and the gendered constructions of their professional identities (Bahm 1993, Bogoch 1999, Cech 2015), especially since the number of women in this profession has increased considerably in recent times. The assumption in these studies, as is in the present, is that social identity is not fixed but rather created and constructed, or performed as Butler and others would say, in the process of communication.

Since the creation of television, ideas and information have come into American homes influencing the watcher for better or worse. This had lead to great influence on topics that have strong political ties. Television has allowed the United States population to access and keep up on political news for the better of modern politics and presidential elections. Television allows the viewer to feel like they are a part of the debate, they also feel that they are getting up-to-date news and that's two most Americans it is the only way to follow the election.

The issue only got worse when they decided to attempt to define this; theorists defined this difference between the genders in a way that make females the “inferior” race, which history, for some reason, has come to define them as a subsidiary to the “alpha male.” Other issues that arose in terms of this misogynistic theory is that it fails to explain the way the different genders interact with the criminal justice system (e.g., how they are treated, how the laws treat them, how crimes vary by gender, even when it may seem like it is not true). Examples of this misogynistic features of the criminal justice system is believing women should be treated with more sympathy in the eyes of the law and the

Among the areas of science, crime, and the criminal justice system, women have usually held low positions or viewed as less than due to
