...HUM/186 Effects of Mass Media Over the past one hundred years, media has evolved from what some would now likely describe as archaic forms of communication to a surge of high-tech forms of communication in the last twenty-five to thirty years. In the 1920’s radio was the primary source of media, and families would gather around the radio in living rooms to catch their favorite shows or news programs. When broadcast television came into the picture in the late 1940’s, radio started to make a shift toward more of a music format. Television became the mode of mass communication, and people were now seeing images and stories in their living rooms, such as the depiction of the Vietnam war, political advertisements, and presidential addresses, which were never available to them in that format before. Now, they had live action to go along with the words that they had previously only read in newspapers or hear spoken on the radio. It has been said that President Kennedy won his election because he looked better on television that Richard Nixon did. Radio did not go away, however, to this day radio is still the medium that is used for the news on the morning drive at work, or music on a long trip. There is an abundance of radio stations to pick from nowadays from news talk stations such as the popular NPR, and countless country, rock and roll, hip hop, and religious channels for the listener from which to pick. Television technology kept improving over the years, going from black and...

...Although both radio and television are geared more to entertaining than to informing, they have become increasingly concerned with the news. Certain radio stations are devoted entirely to news and opinion, with spot announcements, editorials, and in-depth reports. There is no national radio station in the United States, but every large city has dozens of independent stations, which range from twenty four hours a day news to rock and classical music. The first commercial radio station took to the airwaves in 1920. At the beginning of 1922 there were 30 stations in operation; by the following year, more than 500. The creation of the first two multi-station networks, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) in 1926 and the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) the following year, turned broadcasting into a coherent medium. In 1930 more than 12 million US families had radios; 20 years later 40 million families — nearly 92 per cent of the American people — were avid listeners. The earliest entertainers performed free, grateful for the publicity; the manufacturers of radio equipment paid for most programming. Then the idea of financing programs with advertising began to emerge and soon proved profitable beyond the wildest dreams: by 1929 the Ford Motor Company was paying $1000 a minute for prime time (the popular evening hours), and the price was climbing. For better or for worse, Americans in every corner of the continent are simultaneously laughing at the same jokes, listening...

...Entertainment and Media Culture Vincent Arellano October 7, 2013 Marie Loggia-Kee Entertainment and Media Culture Entertainment has evolved in many ways. Communication of events had been a difficult task to achieve in past. Radio was there to inform us of the current news, but without any visualization. Television was brought to consumers so that society can receive a visual way of getting some correspondence. The Internet was invented to give society a way to communicate worldwide. There are people in our society who go through difficult and time-consuming challenges in order to entertain us. The radio has been and still is a common way to get the news, weather, and sports. People could imagine the happenings around the world as the radio announcer would describe in detail the occurrences that would happen. A presidential speech could be described as the crowd cheers in the background. A sports event can bring the excitement level to the full potential with the emotions expressed by the announcer. The weatherman can bring exciting and detailed events created by inclement weather. Television is society’s primary source of entertainment. Without the TV society would still be imagining today’s current events as described by our radio announcer. The TV has changed our culture in so many ways. Many people gather around to view the vast media, sports events, presidential speeches, public announcements, movies, shows, and a plethora of other media shown on different networks...

...effort and precious time to organise this tournament and gave us the chance to socialize and practice our English. First of I want to make a definition of what mass media is. All the different tools that are used to assist the distribution and circulation of information and entertainment to the public come under the umbrella of mass media. Radio, television, cable, telephone, telegram, newspapers, magazines,theatre and movies are all considered as ‘mass media’. These tools involve exchange of opinions, and public involvement. Today the list of mass media also embraces pagers, satellites, electronic mail, internet, cell phones, and computers. These new additions, unlike the other tools of mass media that work as transmission technologies transmitting information from one source to many receivers, are basically interactive; working more on the person to person formula. As the name suggests ‘mass media’ revolves around the masses-the people. Although cinema, radio, television, and press take centre stage in mass media; the role of books, magazines, posters, billboards, pamphlets cannot be discounted. The reach of these tools extends to enormous varied masses of the populace living across the spread of the country. Here in this debate, as a team we focused on the importance of the most up-to date means of communication, the internet and ıts application such as facebook, twitter, my space and counless number of social networking sites. In short SNSs. It would be in place to call...

...europeans laid the ground work for the development of the modern United States. During this era, a new identity was formed as immigrants from the european nations began unifying. Out of this melting pot of cultures, new forms of music were born. Anglo-American folk music is a traditional form of music for the United States that developed from the immigration of English nationals. This form of music can be categorized into four main melodic behaviors: the Ionian (major scale), Mixolydian, Dorian, and Aeolian (natural minor scale) (“Anglo American Folk Music”). From the 20th century on, music became much more predominant to everyday life with the introduction of the radio in the 1930s. Folk music was mostly a treasure secluded to the country and mountains, but the radio allowed music to travel vast distances and have an enormous audience, which was never before possible. This allowed for single artists, like Jimmie Rogers and Bill Monroe, to become well known and produce iconic tracks that would be recorded as the traditional music of America. The lyrics that were used during this early America by these European migrating immigrants where about stories of freedom, life, and a search for identity. This became a significant part of the culture of the developing American people, who used this new form of media to identify themselves (historically and culturally). Since then, Anglo-American folk music has been identified as a strong source of inspiration from well known artists throughout ...

...be careful at all times about how he behaves, how he speaks, what he speaks and about whom he speaks. He is a public figure and hence has to be cautious and take his decisions with extreme caution. But on the contrary his approach to the situation has been entirely different. The article talks about how some statements made by him on Radio could have affected or caused civic unrest in the city. He uses terms like possibility of riots and accepts facing problems of enormous public debt and unemployment in the country. He has been very shrewd with his opinions in the past and still is. He likes to work head on with the problems that are faced by the city. He is known for his aggressive approach and strict measures to obtain results. His tactics in using particular words or statements are often criticized to be outrageous and inappropriate, but they have brought results. And his reelection as mayor for the third time proves that despite being the way he is, his work and efforts are highly appreciated by the public. However I feel that he must take a subtler approach when required in the interest of maintaining order. Like in this article, on the radio he uses really instigating examples of students resorting to riots in order to get what they want. He meant to address the issue to the authorities and policy makers in Washington, but could easily have fueled the pent up frustration of young unemployed students and transformed into a riot.

...20th century has brought about major developments in the evolution of mass media. Developments such as the television, newspapers, radio, internet, and the cellular phone have all contributed to the evolution of mass media. This essay will discuss each development of mass media and how it has influenced American culture as we know it. Major Developments of Mass Media in the 20th Century The newspaper happens to be one of the pioneers of mass media. In its early stages the newspaper was handwritten during the 15th century. Newspapers has steadily increased since its earlier days, but a new form of mass media was on the horizon with the introduction of the radio. Radio was first introduced in the “early decades of the 20th century” (pg. 31). This allowed for millions of people to access anything from presidential elections to advertising. The next form of mass media to come was the television. Following the end of World War II the television revolutionized the way we communicated through mass media. With continual enhancements to the television like the VCR and cable television, this allowed individuals the freedom to record and view television whenever and however they wanted. It wasn’t until the creation of the personal computer sometime around the 1960’s that the world witnessed such an enormous breakthrough in mass media. The personal computer has also enhanced since its beginning stages. The internet and RAM has helped along...

Secondly, both Redbull and Monster Energy drinks taste nearly the same, sugary. I’ve come across tasting both of them and man do they taste awful. For a second there I though I was drinking a kool-aid with an enormous amount of sugar. They were nasty. Well, at least for me……………………… Though they share many common factors, Monster Energy Drink is more and better advertised than Redbull Energy Drink. While shopping at the mall I come across many sweaters, hats, t-shirts, etc . with the Monster Energy Drink logo. As a matter of fact, my husband and I bought the exact same t-shirt of Monster. Even though I’m not a fan of energy drinks, I kind of like the colors on the Monster drink; black and lime green. Redbull is mostly advertised on the radio and honestly I haven’t heard or seen it anywhere else. I’ve heard a couple of people say it is patrolled mostly in car racing commercials and on some other radio casting. Other than that, I agree on Monster Energy...

...systems worldwide are sent into chaos by a strange atmospheric interference. It is soon learned by the military that a number of enormous objects are on a collision course with Earth. At first thought to be meteors, they are later revealed to be gigantic spacecraft, piloted by a mysterious alien species. After attempts to communicate with the aliens go nowhere, David Levinson, an ex-scientist turned cable technician, discovers that the aliens are going to attack major points around the globe in less than a day. Aliens arrive in a gigantic mother ship and prepare to invade earth. Huge daughter ships get sent to hover above major cities all over earth. They use earth's satellites to communicate and time their attack which messes up TV signals. On July 3rd, the aliens all but obliterate New York, Los Angeles, and Washington.

...possibility of change, open our minds and our eyes. The answer to the question "Are we alone in the universe?" has been unanswered and may remain so until scientists are no longer heavily scrutinized for researching the topic. Mainstream science has and will continue to ridicule and humiliate any individual who expresses an interest in the topic of aliens or extra-terrestrials. However, as time and technology progress, there has been a vast amount of substantial evidence that continues to build in many scientific disciplines such as archaeology, astronomy, philosophy, anthropology and ancient history. The late Swiss author of multiple best-selling novels, Erich Von Daniken introduced a radical new theory that would cause an enormous paradigm shift. Von Daniken was educated in a strict Catholic boarding school. He and his classmates were made to complete translations of the Old Testament Bible from Greek to Latin, and then from Latin to German. Von Daniken discovered his fascination with extra-terrestrials once he began to study the book of Ezekiel and the story of his wheel. In 1968, Von Daniken wrote and published his first novel titled “Chariots of the Gods” and the birth of the Ancient Astronaut theory was born. Essentially, the Ancient Alien theory infers that aliens/extra-terrestrials visited the Earth in antiquity and were regarded as Gods. A valid question to contemplate, if we as mankind can travel to the moon and other planets, why couldn’t beings from...

...1. On page two of the assigned reading, the historical development of Reggaeton is discussed. In your own words, describe this development and its key characteristics. Reggaeton is influence of Jamaican reggae which was travelled to Puerto Rico and Panama, where descendants of Jamaican workers begun performing what came to be called reggae en Espanola. During the same time frame, through the circular travels of New York based Puerto Ricans, who had participated in development of hip hop from the beginning, where it was soon indigenized as rap en Espanola by artists like Rico C, with lyrics in Spanish, this music had enormous appeal in Puerto Rico, where Jamaican dance hall had already achieved wide spread popularity. Indeed DJ like Playoro and Nelson developed the sound further, they were so drawn to a Sabba ranks song called “Dem Bow”, with its minimalist dance hall beat punctuated by snare drum accents that this “riddim”, initially created by producer bobby digital became a defining characteristics of the reggaeton and around the mid 1990 the music that combined these elements coalesced and came to be known as Reggaoton. 2. Who Considered the “Queen of Reggaton” and why? What makes this particular person well suited to hold that tittle/distinction? Ivy Queen is considered the queen of Reggaton because she was one of the few women in a male dominated and often misogynistic environment who could compete as an equal.

...The 1920s are a time known for cockamaime parties, flappers, and roaring jazz music. Although the decade seems like a collection of rowdy social festivities, grander complications lied at the surface. Author and Harvard American History professor, Joshua Zeitz underlines the conjuncture between innovation and tradition in his essay The Roaring Twenties. Although major religious conflicts erupted, giving the conservatives a win, the 1920’s were a decade of liberalism because of backlash from government control and advancements in media A major disagreement between church and education was the John Scopes trial (aka the monkey trial.) In 1925, the Butler Act was passed to end the teaching of anything that goes against biblical teachings. That same year, John Scopes was challenged by peers to violate the anti-evolution law and teach Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution to his class. A Duke University Article, by Christopher Armstrong and Grant Wacker, entitled The Scopes Trial states that “Resistance grew especially acute when such conservatives saw their sons and daughters going off to college and, faced with teachings that contradicted their parents' beliefs, seemed to lose their faith entirely.” This reveals the parent’s conservative fears of a radically different America where there would be diversity amongst religions. Adding on to conservative victory, Zeitz claims that the conservatives were nowhere near close to being beat. Zeits states in his essay that after their court...
