... and often show things that cannot be experienced in the country or area where the school is located. I think that this is an excellent use of television and more use should be made of it in education, because it offers many advantages to classroom teaching. The drama serials on television are neither entertaining or educational. These shows simply depict "real life" (in the broadest sense of the term) and therefore do not teach or entertain (otherwise life itself would be entertaining!) I think that these programs should not be shown. Comedy programs, however, make viewers laugh, feel better, and make people generally happier. These programs should be enco ...

... it is important to understand where women have been and what they have accomplished plus how long it took. This article about women's rights is very important because you can see after reading this article and the other articles in our section, how their struggle for freedom effected the home lifes, the attitudes and the fashion of the roaring 20's.

... stories, essays, and songs about death and suicide shortly before their own self-inflicted death (Homer 19). Another sign is talking about suicide and the wish to die. It is myth that those who talk about suicide will not do it. Studies have shown many of those who have killed themselves have given clear indications of their plans in advance, both in words and actions (Homer 19). Indications that a person feels depressed, sad, and hopeless-complaints about feeling worthless and useless (Homer 19). Giving away loved possessions such as a favorite jacket or sweaters. Also, making final arrangements or making a will might be a warning sign (Homer 19). Changes ...

... event that was forced upon the all male 154 year old military based college by a Supreme Court ruling. This ruling declared the all male admission policy, at the state supported Citadel, was unconstitutional. The battle against coeducation began in 1993, when the school mistakenly accepted Shannon Faulkner; thinking she was male. The war was waged so fiercely, and with such ill will, that when Faulkner withdrew after less than a week, the victorious screams of the other cadets was shown on national television. Why is it that these male cadets and their leaders are so against the integration of females in the school. According to Bem Sex Role Inventory, people pe ...

... can create the violence that their mind craves (Door 127). Another thing that increases the risk of violence is watching another person praising it. Parents who solve their problems with violence are teaching their children to do the same. Barbara Escamilla, an Omaha counselor and social worker, said, "Fathers who laugh and cheer at violent action movies are condoning such actions...." Another counselor from Omaha said, "If a kid hears his dad laughing about having beat somebody up when he was 13, then that father is creating an underlying philosophy in the family." Joseph Stankus, an Omaha psychologist, said, "If sombody doesn't show any regard for the results ...

In 1935 Sarnoff committed RCA to the development of television sets. Several networks had to begun to form in Europe such as the British Broadcasting Corporation which provided the first television service. Programs were only shown for 3 hours per day.

... To be able to conform you must sometimes sacrifice opinions that you have and also you have to have a good level of self discipline so that you conform to social norms. Obedience is the ability to take and follow orders from authority. Milgram did a study ending in 1976 which involved 1 person operating switches where it administered a shock to a imaginary learner that the subject could not see but could hear and the learner was pairing cards but each time he got one wrong he was administered an electric shock each shock higher than the last reaching a shock high enough to kill the learner. and because milgram was hte one giving the orders to shock the learner he ...

... passed a resolution that informed broadcasters and the public of the dangers that viewing violence on television can have for children (Berry 78). Children and teenagers that watch a lot of television are less aroused by acts of violence than those children that don’t watch as much television. In other words, those children are less bothered by violence in general, and are less likely to see anything wrong with it. In a study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania, children who watched a violent program instead of a nonviolent one were slower to see help when they witnessed acts of violence (Goodwyn 164). In another study at Pennsylvania State Un ...

... put curfew in effect. Teenagers and children under the age of 16 cannot be in the mall without a guardian over the age twenty-one after six o’clock. This idea is crazy to think of when you think of a mall on the weekend nights without the local teenagers hanging out and shopping. When I think of “mall, the first thing that comes to mind is teenagers cruising the mall for the perfect gear for the next party or such. This is the first step towards limiting freedom for minors. The next step would be to establish the curfew across town, so that minors under a certain age would not be able to walk the streets without an adult to accompany them. Thereby, limiting ...

... One minute they’re inseperable - sharing their most intimate thoughts and details - the next minute they are faces across a crowded room or polite acquaintances at best. These are the consequences that come along with a breakup. We teens hear about love all around us, in music and movies, on TV, in stories. If you look in the dictionary, they define love as a tender, warm feeling; warm liking; affection; attachment. Love is simply a choice we make when we find someone who makes us happy, and who we trust with our innermost thoughts and feelings. We hear that love will make us happy. We hear that single people are lonely. We are told that if we are ...
