The television has been commercially available in America since the 1930’s. According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day. In a sixty-five year lifespan, that person will have spent nine years glued to the tube. This constant attention to programming can cause positive and negative effects. The negative effects on an average American family can be explained psychologically, emotionally, and physically. Television affects the psyche of children

Gender Roles      While I was growing up, gender roles were highly defined by my parents and teachers as well as all other societal influences. Boys were taught to do 'boy' things and girls were taught to do 'girly' things. The toys that children play with and the activities that are encouraged by adults demonstrate the influence of gender roles on today's youth.       In my formative years, the masculine traits that I learned came out because of the activities that my parents had me engage

There are exceptions, like Trader Joe's named for founder Joe Coulombe, and of course the eponymous Ben and Jerry's Ice cream. Don't confuse their existing goodwill with the difficulty inherent to how hard it may have been overcoming a plain name–although one could say their names made them approachable given

Toy Story and A Bug's Life film Trailer Comparison Toy Story and A Bug’s Life, both directed by John Lasseter, exercise various cinematic techniques to persuade the trailers viewer to watch the film. Toy Story and A Bug's Life are adventure comedies full of surprises in which scenes change from light-heartedness to heart-stopping suspense. The trailers director doesn’t give too much away by revealing only parts of a scene; leaving the viewer frustrated and wanting to know the outcome, music also

Classic rock is overrated. In this world, there are millions of die-hard fans, but there are also those that cringe at the words "classic rock." I was one of them. As a teenager in this century, I prefer to listen to pop or anything mainstream and upbeat. I knew there was a handful of classic rock bands; one of them was Aerosmith. I have never heard of Aerosmith's music and did not plan on giving it a try. But after a first-hand experience, I realized that a personal experience could craft one's

Pro Sports Athletes are Overpaid Pro sports athletes are entertainers and loved by millions and get some of the highest payrolls out of anyone. Enjoyed by billions these multimillion dollar companies and sports teams like Fc Barcelona, LA. Lakers, Dallas Cowboys and many more spend millions more than the average human in their lifetime. On top of that are worth more than a billion each plus the contracts that companies like Nike and Adidas are willing to pay them. But are completely unfair

In today’s society, many people struggle to love themselves. What does it take to truly be open with who you are and to be confident enough to deal with anybody’s judgement in this world? With models all over social media, magazines, television, and loved ones always staring and judging, it is hard for one to truly feel accepted in this world. There will always be people in the world who will shame those who are a little too over weight, those who are too skinny, those who choose the wrong person

“Justice” is defined as the quality of righteousness, equitableness, and moral rightness, but do the characters In Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men, really fit this interpretation? Sheriff Bell, for example, shows himself to be inconsistent in his pursuit of justice, as he seems overattentive in the case involving Llewellyn Moss, a white man, (which proves unsuccessful in the long run), yet he shows disregard and a lack of justice for his Latino residents, and actually seeks justice against

Hushpuppy and Chihiro are two of the most important and effective characters in their films. They both try to survive in a world that they don't know anything about, and the people around them are trying to help them. Hushpuppy is a 6-years-old child that lives with her father in the bathhouse. Her mother left her, that's what her father tells her every time she asks. She helps her father in everything that he needs help in, he usually treats her as a 14-years-old girl who needs to know about

I believe that the millennial America dream is drastically different than many other generations. While previous generations believed that they must own a home in order to achieve the American dream, this dream has drastically changed in recent centuries. I believe this is partially due to how attitudes millennial hold have changed within recent years. I believe that previous generations still withheld the mindset that a marriage and family was the ideal image of the American dream. I believe that
