Situation comedies, or sitcoms for short, first began between 1946 and 1947 in the United Kingdom when broadcast station BBC aired Pinwright’s Progress (Aaron,2014). The United States soon followed airing their first sitcom in 1950.

When watching a sitcom one sees characters deal with life in an unmethodical, irrational, but humorous style. The ability to bring laughter out of situations dates back to variety shows, but dedicating a whole program around a group of characters is fairly new considering the long

In a 1988 BBC ‘network’ examination the former Chief Executive of Channel 4 Jeremy Isaccs said of sitcom “It is a form in which it is impossible to bring new work. It is the most conventional form in British television,”(Neale & Krutnik, 1990) while this comment is nearly 30 years old I feel Isaccs point still stands. Since television 's rise to dominance in the 50’s and 60’s television sitcom hadn’t progressed much from their radio sitcom forerunners, by the 1980’s the cliche and the tropes were

Representing More People in Television Television is a form of media that has been around since the 1950’s and has made slow but steady progress in representing everyone since then. We have come a long way from the shows about a white American, upper middle class, nuclear family that lives in the suburbs. Today, representation in television is much broader, but still has shortcomings. From the 1950’s to the 1990’s, many shows were about families or a group of friends, such as The Brady Bunch, Cheers

siglo II d.C. (110-113 y es una columna triunfal, que al igual que los arcos de victoria, sirven para conmemorar y de dar a conocer mediante la promoción las victorias de los emperadores romanos. Al igual que tiene una función política, en el aspecto de que le rinde un tipo de respeto a los emperadores romanos victoriosos en varias batallas pasadas. El orden al que pertenece es dórico.

Can you see the light? As the burning of petroleum-based fuels, natural gases, and coal continues, smog will continue to cover the sky. Pollution from said burning occurs as greenhouse gases and chemicals. Specifically, petroleum-based fuels, natural gases, and coal release energy when heat breaks the bonds between hydrogens and carbons, generating energy and releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. This energy often originates from stored energy preserved in organisms that eventually died

effects of a light ray reflecting at different angles of incident from a convex, flat, and convex mirror. In the second part a light ray will be refracted through a rhombus prism at different angles of incidence. We will measure the angles using a protractor. For the third experiment we will examine the indices of colors as light is refracted through the rhombus. Lastly, we will use polar lens to examine Brewster’s angle and polarization. THEORY PART A: REFLECTION When a light ray hits a point on
