Love in the Media
Love in the media is seen from two different perspectives. Although I could see tens even hundreds of perspectives of love in the media our grade focused on 2. One is that it is a good thing, it represents love correctly and shows people what love could and should be, this could be between a boyfriend or girlfriend, family member, friends, or even a pet. The media can also be a bad thing that does not represent love correctly, making it seem too perfect or over exaggerated. The correct way they could label love is a healthy relationship wish not only the “love” you hear about but also the struggles of being in a relationship. Many people in the Yammer discussion said both ideas. Yet when you consider Romeo and Juliet’s life there is barely any “media”, there is no television, or radio, the only real type of media is some newspapers and plays, and even these things are hard to get. Almost everything is told from speech, face to face. Lord and Lady Capulet are the “main media” in the play. They tell Juliet everything that the media says and people could see this in both of those two perspectives stated before. Love in both the play and life can be good and bad depending on the situation.

People still might think that the media is so perfect, or just trying to hook the consumers. And even though Romeo and Juliet did not have the media I still feel like they had influence from their mothers and fathers, which you could consider “the media”. In present day, there are a lot more divorces than usual and you never know if this was because of the larger populations or just the more and more types of media. There are hundreds of different points of views on this topic and there are so many ways people could see the media. They could see it as bad or good for your love life and your reputation. Yet media is still the number one producer in money in the entire world, so is media good or
Romeo’s misinterpretation of what love is shows a lot in this play. He attends the Capulet’s party just so that he could see Rosaline not to see Juliet. Romeo, being so young, automatically falls in love with Juliet. In act 1, scene 5, and page 394, Romeo states, “Then move not while my prayer’s effect I take. Thus from my lips, by thine my sin is purged. Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.’’Romeo doesn't even know a detail about Juliet and is already kissing her and saying that he loves Juliet. Also in act 2, scene 2, page
Media has changed a lot over time, and it can play a role in not knowing your true self. It can take you away from not knowing your true self by changing your thoughts over something. The media plays a large role because it is our main source of information, we listen to weather reports, financial reports, political reports and we let that information lead our lives. It often times relates to how we feel, are
Delusions of Love and Romance Myths, fantasies, pipedreams, unrealities, and fictions that we have all experienced in viewing some of Hollywood’s version of love and romance has entertained us for centuries. In the essay, Lies Hollywood Told Us: Love and Romance Edition, Lawson and Doll clarify the different forms of lies in story form that are delivered to the public for entertainment through movies. The title has no compassion or kindness, nor does their statement of, “And we are tired. Tired of the lies. Tired of the misleading details (Lawson 230).
When one thinks of media, one tends to relate media to television, news, magazines, newspaper articles, and so on. Many people do not think of media is something that portrays negative effects on young women. However, young women are more susceptible to lower self-esteem resulting in eating disorders or depression more today than ever before. The media projects negative and undermining images of women and one does not have to look very hard to realize this. The media projects images of unrealistic women who only look the way they do because of plastic surgery or airbrushing techniques. The media has much greater effects on young girls than anything else in our culture today. Our society has created an environment so obsessed with
Media is everywhere. Television, newspaper, cell phones, movies, as well as numerous other sources. Today, just about everyone depends on information and communication to keep their lives moving through daily activities. We need to be aware that the values we hold, the beliefs we harbor and the decisions we make are based on our assumptions, our experiences, our education and what we know for a fact. Mass media is relied on for the current news and facts about what is important and what we should be aware of. Media is considered a trustworthy source for news, information, education and entertainment. Though someone has to have thought behind an issue to write it.
In any comparison of two one is always shown negative and in the media’s portrayal of romance the one that is shown “negative” I would say be the men. My prime evidence in the media for this is that in almost every romance movie the girl is seen as the chase, the thing the protagonist (Usually the man) has to better himself to get the girl or
Media plays an enormous role on people’s lives. For the good or for the bad, people tend to believe what they constantly see on the internet, television, newspapers and magazines. What the media wants to do is to make an affect on someone. It can literally be anything. As long as something that is said in the media creates or makes an impact on that particular person, the media has done
Literary elements are used in many ways to further develop the readers’ understanding of the passage. Nathaniel Hawthorne uses literary elements such as symbolism and characterization in “Young Goodman Brown” and The Scarlet Letter. Washington Irving also uses symbolism and characterization in his work, “The Devil and Tom Walker.” Symbolism is used to give the reader subtle hints at parts of the plot by giving ordinary objects different and symbolic meanings. Characterization is also used to reveal hidden themes through the characters. The authors use objects and people in their stories to show how sin is bad. The Scarlet Letter, “The Devil and Tom Walker”, and “Young Goodman Brown” all use different literary elements to portray their themes: sin is wrong and dwelling on it can cause your downfall.
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet – popularly considered by many to be the quintessential love story of all time – is a play that we are all familiar with in one way or another. Whether it be through the plethora of portrayals, adaptations and performances that exist or through your own reading of the play, chances are you have been acquainted with this tale of “tragic love” at some point in your life. Through this universal familiarity an odd occurrence can be noted, one of almost canonical reverence for the themes commonly believed to be central to the plot.

Love is either the best or worst thing that has ever happened to a person, without an in between. Because of how many different perspectives there are from person to person, love is what makes people’s thoughts shrouded and create turmoil. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare shows the audience the despair that is brought upon those who love through his characters and plot. By using love as the inciting force behind the violence, suffering and death in the play, Shakespeare suggests that love is a harmful human emotion.
Media has become a powerful source of knowledge, and a great breakthrough in human history. Who can regret that media is a daily need in our lives.

Division 1 and Division 2 colleges provide over 2.9 billion dollars a year in scholarships to student athletes. Student athletes should not be compensated for participating in college sports. College athletes can receive full ride scholarships for playing their sport of choice. Is the 40,000 dollars they are receiving in scholarships not compensation; thus prompting the question is the top tier education they are being provided with, not compensation enough? Most of the thousands of students that participate in college sports compete for the love of the game, not for a paycheck. Furthermore, college athletes understand that they may not compete at the pro level, in fact, only 2 % of college athletes go on to play professionally. The main part of the term student-athletes is student. Students do not go to college expecting a check at the end of every month or to land a spot in the first round of the draft, instead the purpose is to receive an education. All things considered, student athletes should not receive compensation for playing sports in college because it would be almost financially impossible, some are already provided with money from scholarships , and finally they are being provided with an excellent higher education.
