Language & Reality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay/research paper that discusses the relationship between language, societal constructs and reality. Since the time of ancient Greece, people have contemplated the nature of reality. As Berger and Luckmann point out in their treatise on the nature of reality, what is referred to as reality is basically unknowable except through the narrow channel of human experience as we each interpret it through the facility of our own particular social enclaves and institutions. In other words, reality, rather than being concrete and immutable, is also subjective, that is, subject to change in accordance with the manner in which it is perceived. These ideas are discussed.

Language, Culture And The Global Media
[ send me this paper ]
A 25 page paper. Linguists have predicted that more than half, as many as 90 percent of the 6,000 languages being used today will be extinct by 2050. Languages are becoming extinct at far greater ratios than are mammals and birds. The effect is that there are also cultures that die when the language dies because language is one of the defining characteristics of a culture. This essay provides a look at global immigration patterns with data; a discussion of endangered languages; a discussion of language as a unifying element in culture as well as a barrier to communication; and the possibility of a universal language and what that might be. Interwoven are comments about the media and their roles. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

Liberal Bias of the Media: Truth or Fiction
[ send me this paper ]
(24 pp) Liberal media bias - of course you think to yourself - what else is new? Journalists refute that thought - the majority of times claiming that they have personal liberal perspectives, but that they can separate those from their professional writing, approach and credulity. What if there really is minimal "liberal media bias," what if "they" -whoever they may be-if they exist at all-- are using a propaganda technique of distraction, as a smoke screen ? or research based paranoia?

Liquor Industry Adherent Self-Regulation: Must Rule Advertisements In All Forms Of Mass Media
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Through the years, a distinctive trend has been established with regard to the various methods advertisers employ in order to outshine the competition. Some of these practices are looked upon as being instrumental within such a cutthroat environment; others, however, are viewed as inappropriate and unacceptable. In spite of the fact that the broadcast media are the focal points for such a vast array of advertising techniques, they do not reserve the right to censor public consumption. Some believe that imparting television and radio executives with the power to control the flow of advertising is no different than censoring the inherent freedom of the press. Advertisers have the right to sell their products in whatever manner is most effective; in fact, that is the entire essence behind the free enterprise: that each business has the constitutional right to align whatever components are necessary to make it stand out above its competitors. There is no law in the land that can prohibit advertisers from portraying their products in the most advantageous light possible; it is up to the broadcast media to respect this concept of freedom of speech. It is an unusual occurrence, but entire industries do sometimes regulate their own advertising if it is established that the message being presented is contradictory to societal norm, and the liquor industry is a prime example. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Mass Media & How People Think
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page research paper that examines the mass news media and its influence. The new media is enormously powerful, as it provides the main conduit through which the public learns of the state of current events. Research demonstrates that often journalism does not provide the public with sufficient background information to thoroughly understand a news event. The emphasis is on sensationalism and drama rather than on information content. Sociological, political and psychological research demonstrates both the relevancy and power of the mass media--where strengths exist, but primarily where its foibles lie.

Mass Media and Communication Messages in the Japanese Tourists' Perceptions of Hawaii
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses a variety of communication, marketing, and economic issues associated with Japanese tourism in Hawaii. Specialized channels of communication, as well as mainstream media in Japan, have created an image of the Hawaiian Islands that has little to do with unique cultural aspects or even the natural beauty of Hawaii and much more to do with shopping and the opportunity for the party of a lifetime.

Yet of all those under the "spell" of the media, it appears that adolescent girls are the most vulnerable. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Mass Media for Entertainment and Pleasure with Examples from British History
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing mass media for pleasure and entertainment with examples from British history. Mass media in relation to today’s society has a great many formats in which to give the public information, promotion of new merchandise, news, entertainment and various forms of pleasure in the world of television, journalism, films, computer games and the internet to name a few. Traditionally, media was thought to be a source of viable information to the masses yet history shows that media was also used as much for the pleasure and entertainment of the masses as it was to provide information about current, world or political events. In today’s newspapers, although seemingly filled with violent news, they are also filled with “feel good” stories, entertainment sections, film and literary reviews as well as the classic comic, jumble and crossword features. In the Victorian era, the mass media were the providers of scandals and serial novels highly popular in that time. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Mass Media: Contemporary Issues
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The transformation steadily taking place in contemporary mass media has many concerned over the compromised duality of effectiveness and accuracy.

Media Access: National Security Versus Public Access To Government Function
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. National security is maintained at myriad different levels and under countless different provisions so as to weigh the intrinsic risk associated with each individual perceived threat. When it comes to military tribunals and media access, a strong undercurrent of First Amendment rights versus the threat to national security fuels an ongoing legal debate between the press and federal judges (Anonymous, 2001). The extent to which these secret courts serve to protect against highly sensitive information leaking out through media sources is both grand and far-reaching; that certain cases have reached beyond the concern for protecting national security and granted media access in these hearings speaks to the failing efforts to balance interests of national security with public access. Bibliography lists 25 sources.

Media Advocacy Campaign: AIDS
[ send me this paper ]

Addressing the prevention of AIDS is one manner by which mass media have proven to be beneficial to contemporary society, inasmuch as myriad people can be reached through television, magazines, radio and other forms of popular culture. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Media And Culture
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. To possess the power of information is to maintain complete control over society. As supposed watchdogs of democracy, the media have power like no other entity due to their individual and collective strength as bearers of communication. Words carry with them a great deal of power; they are capable of destroying nations and rebuilding faith. They are eloquent and strong, intimidating and potent. Indeed, language serves many purposes but of its many overwhelming influences, none are as significant as its ability to impart information. That much of contemporary society takes its cues from modern media, it is no surprise to find just how detrimental such omnipotent power can be upon the cultural formation of today's youth. No bibliography.

Media And Domestic Violence
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Broadcast news is no stranger to depicting violence; in fact, it has long been a mainstay of virtually all top-of-the-hour programming. The extent to which violent news stories play an integral role with this particular form of mass media is illustrated in a two-fold fashion: 1) to draw in viewers and 2) provide social benefit. Mass media have long been labeled as society's gatekeeper of both valuable and erroneous information; this paper will discuss how television news utilizes its tremendous impact for the purpose of educating and protecting those who were once - or are currently - voiceless victims of domestic abuse, which illustrates how this form of media effectively raises awareness about the problem.
