Argument In Favor Of Reducing TV Violence
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper arguing for TV programming based on higher ideals rather than on blood and gore. One network has catapulted from the bottom of the pile based solely on the success of 'Touched by an Angel,' a show CBS executives believed would not last a full season, and has since added similar programming. Hollywood has followed suit. These shows and movies are not venues of substitute preaching, but rather are representation of higher ideals by which we can live and make our daily choices. The 'garbage in/ garbage out' saying common among early computer programmers applies also to the human mind, and reducing the level of violence on TV can only have positive effects. CBS has shown that those positive effects also can be reflected in the corporate bottom line. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Better Read That Again/Web Hoaxes
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page reaction paper to an article by Paul Piper entitled "Better read that again: web hoaxes and misinformation" is an informative survey of different categories of misinformation, which includes everything from racist propaganda to intentional joke pages on the Internet. The writer argues that Piper's article goes to the heart of an issue that has been frequently overlooked, but is nevertheless inherent in US culture, which is the prevalent misconception that anything--literally anything--if it appears in print or is said on television, has to be true. The writer argues further that if the misinformation on the Internet raises the level of skepticism in the American public, it is a good thing. No additional sources cited.
