Michael Medved's "Hollywood Vs. America"
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. With astute insight and compelling perceptiveness, Michael Medved brings out the hidden – and not so hidden – backlash that popular culture in general and Hollywood in particular have wreaked upon contemporary society. His treatment of this often-controversial subject matter delves deeply into the idiosyncratic components that Hollywood and the entire essence of popular culture have unduly influenced generation after generation, serving to catapult the notion of personal and social responsibility entirely off the map of humane existence. Clearly, the detrimental impact that Hollywood and popular culture have had upon the masses is more than superficial according to Medved; rather, this power has rendered society a reflection of its existence. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Milton Berle
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The contributions some people make to the world are far greater than one can often comprehend; while the vast majority create somewhat of an impression upon others, there are those whose presence completely alters the manner by which one views certain aspects of life. Comedians, those who possess an innate ability to make one see the quirkier -- albeit funnier -- side of life, bestow the gift of laughter and lightheartedness upon their audiences; however, few stand out as prominently as the man who was affectionately known as Uncle Miltie and Mr. Television: Milton Berle. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
