In the book, Amusing Ourselves to Death, Postman states his thesis, "All public discourse increasingly takes the form of entertainment which has out us in a position where we are "slowly amusing ourselves to death”. By this, he means that the media has negatively affected the level of public discourse in contemporary America, and it considers media in a larger context to achieve that. Amusing Ourselves to Death is a foretelling look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment. It is also a blueprint for regaining control of our media, so that they can serve our highest goals.

In America’s daily consumption of media a strange trend has developed in the last couple years. It seems that whenever a real life tragedy occurs many news outlets and politicians tend to place the blame, not in the instigator of these violent acts, but instead in the media they consume which they believed made them this way. "I think there's a question as to whether he would have driven in his mother's car in the first place if he didn't have access to a weapon that he saw in video games that gave him a false sense of courage about what he could do that day." (Murphy) This quote taken from an 2013 debate on a bill to ban assault weapons gives us all the information we need. Violence in media and how it affects violence in real life is misrepresented

Many children facing serious medical crisis travel to different states and even to a different country from where they live in to get the necessary medical treatment. Nothing seems scarier to a young child, than not having his or her family with them through this tough time. Families are stronger when they are together but for some of them, traveling with their hospitalized child can be very difficult due to economic issues. The Ronald McDonald House (RMHC) has taken action to be that “home-away-from-home” that many families need.

Poet Robert Frost once stated, “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in” (BrainyQuote, n.d.). This statement is a positive reflection of the services provided by the caring staff and volunteers at Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Families with severely ill children under the age of 18, who are undergoing treatment from local hospitals, are grateful for this temporary home away from home. It was the aspiration of Fred Hill, a professional football player for the Philadelphia Eagles, to provide a comfortable place where these families could get a good night’s rest and a hot meal while visiting their hospitalized children. Hill, accompanied by the owner of the Eagle’s football team, propositioned McDonald’s. As a result, the first RMHC was built in 1974 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (“A Place,” n.d.). Today, there are more than 360 independent, non-profit Houses worldwide.
