Hands Up, Dont Shoot !

 

Bill O'Reilly as a commentatory is very blunt . He says what ever comes to his mind , at the exact time it comes to him. Bill O'Reilly whole demeanor is arrogant , he does not see any wrong in what he says or actually do. Throughout the conversation between O'Reilly and Ferguson attorney, O'Reilly is rude and tend to cut off the attorney when he's trying to get his point across. If it isnt what O'Reilly wants to hear then it wont be heard at all.O'Reilly tend to be dominant and likes his answers straight forward.Bill O'Reilly states facts based on his opinions , he'll give an opinion but state facts behind what he saying. I've learned that Bill O'Reilly is going to say what he want and however it come out he dont regret nothing he say.He states what the government or higher powers dont want citizens to hear in a very blunt way.
Nancy Grace is very dominant. She tends to look confused while waiting for answers. I watched her episode when she was telling the father about how his missing child was found in the basement of his house. Nancy Grace is respectful compared to Bill O'Reilly because she will actually let you get what you want to say out.Nancy Grace allowed the father to be confused but his actions didnt change her mind on the subject that they where speaking on.Nancy Grace takes more of a feminine approach when commentating. Nancy Grace facial expressions will make a guest change his or her mind on certain subjects which is another feminine aspect of her being a commentator.

Reality TV


Most reality TV shows are on the air because of its views not the content in the shows. Reality TV shows are not made to be either fake or real. In my opinion they are made for entertainment. Many people watch reality TV shows to get a sense of humor or other silly emotions from the characters on the shows telling there life stories.Many reality tv shows are successful because of the rudeness, ghetto, and mischevious behavior exemplified show after show.Half of the time , people only get reality TV shows because they have a lot of money , and a little bit of fame.
 
Women are dehumanized on reality TV shows. They are only looked at as gold diggers, broke and useless sex toys. Women are always ghetto, loud, and obnoxious when interviewed or chosen to be on these shows. Most of the time black reality TV shows are the way white people look at black people. In my opinion the way they portray people is not the way people actually act. Most people are taken out of there character, when trying to live up to reality TV show expectations. They make men seem all mighty and strong even though half of the time they aren’t. Most men in these shows have a whole lot of money, no successful profession, and are trying to get the fame they once had back.Many people on these reality tv shows never actually lived in struggle, poverty, or even controversy. I think they are on this show to reveal how many people think the real world really is.

Newspapers

Newspapers are beneficial in many ways , but are yet outdated. Newspaper distribution is deminishing while technology is increasing. Since technology is evolving many hand written prompts are decreasing in value to today's society. There are many types of newspapers far as category's. Newspapers are categorized far as regional , local , and national. Regional newspapers seem to be of up most importance to many areas. Regional newspapers may still be in existence once all other newspapers become extinct. Regional newspapers tell about the events happening closer to you and are specific about the events being discussed or mentioned in the paper.  
The closer the event is occurring to you, the more concerned you'll be as a civilian. Topics world wide are important but the need to know what's particularly going on around you are more important . I believe regional newspapers are going to last because the text is more in depth and gives you a visual of the content that's being covered, and is a more sophisticated text written. National newspapers are not going to last because of the language used throughout the text , the actual text depth, and there isn't anything visual for readers.National newspapers are mainly right and doesn't seem interesting because there no images or specific topics. There are only a few broad topics being hit on that throughout the national newspapers.The local newspapers are to vague and contains to much information that's not unnecessary but the information isn't always a necessity.Each newspaper contains the basic information , but the diction used throughout the paper , importance of the subject being discussed, and sophistication are huge things to worry about when looking at newspapers who will survive.

Magazine Influences

Do magazine covers make you or break you?


 
Whats seen in the media normally determines what a person should act , look and be classified as. The feeling of acceptance in society, as the perfect human being ,often comes from the images placed on the front cover of magazines, billboards, and other images revealed to numerous people.Many of the images on magazine consist of slim/thin men or women thats in shape, toned out, nice complexion, and are actually rich/famous in real life often catching a buyers attention.The images placed on the front of magazines are normally classified as beautiful or handsome.


Magazine covers can be a positive influence in one's life as well as a negative influence. Magazine covers as revealed in the one underneath , may degrade women that isnt this petite or skin tone. One may feel since there image isnt on the front of a magazine then its wrong or they should do everything to be the image on the front of that magazine ,which men/women lust over.
Many of the times there is not a lot of diverisity in magazines. The front image normally tells you the race , class, and characteristics of the people thatll be contained in the magazine. Women are often represented as sexy or beautiful and petite with one image . Men are often represented as buff, athletic, and handsome.
Success and wealth is often displayed on the front of magazines.Magazines are normally filled with gossip because they are written opionated by the author.Magazines are bias most of the time because of the author and or publisher of the magazine.
