Soap Operas And Language
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Most people watch a television program without any knowledge of how their visual/auditory senses are being manipulated by myriad signs and symbols; in other words, viewers are led down a pathway that instructs how, when and to what extent they will react depending upon the stimulus. Soap operas present some of the most appropriate examples of this type of communicative process whereby language blends with other visual and auditory cues to create an interactive premise that establishes the extent of viewers' role and involvement. This inherent connection between semiotic language and social psychology in relation to media study helps to facilitate an understanding of corresponding developments that have come about over the past several decades in response to soap opera connotation. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Social Learning from Mass Media
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing some of the benefits that television can have. Specific episodes have been instrumental in cases of assault and murder recreating scenes aired only a few days before, and TV in general has been blamed for contributing to society's general decline in the "sex and violence" vein. The influence of mass media on social learning is illustrated not only in these negative aspects, but uses the popular series "Touched by an Angel" as counterpoint. The ultimate message of the show is that one person truly can make a difference, but only if that one person stands up for what is right and acts on his convictions. That message has been lost in the mass media for some time, but the viewing audience is proving that network audiences are not so shallow, after all. Bibliography lists 5 sources. KS-TBA.doc
