...where, and what we want to spend our time watching or as we say streaming. Streaming media is now providing entertainment that is applicable to one’s individual routine making it tailor-made for us all to enjoy. This means that we, as consumers, have access to huge amounts of personalized data without any wait times or ever having to leave the house. As technology continues to grow and get stronger, we find ourselves purchasing equipment to make our tailor-made services of streaming even better. Between BlueRay DVD Players, Apple TV boxes, PlayStations, and many more. The majority of these providers can easily stream media straight from them. When streaming media is mentioned to most people the first thing that comes to mind is Netflix. Music is in there too but with Netflix one can watch TV shows with majority of the seasons, as well as the movies that Netflix has purchased. It can not get much better than that, even though a person will only have to pay a small monthly fee of $8.99 Netflix pays for itself after one or two movies which could cost up to twenty dollars to purchase through traditional methods. Netflix even takes the movies and shows one watches you watch into consideration and provides you with a list of related movies and shows to watch next.

...There was a time when criminal justice was the responsibility of lords, landowners, and monarchs who had largely inherit roles as government leaders. After the feudal system, as it was known failed to stop bandits from selling wares in an 18th century medieval Europe, Napoleon introduced a military police force of sorts known as gendarme. This method of justice caught on even among Catholics, whose rules were based moral order. The criminal justice field is an ever evolving field. As today’s technology changes so does the way the criminal justice field interacts with technology. As society changes the technology also changes. The barriers that come along can affect how the criminal justice field interprets what to do next. The basis of the criminal justice system is to protect and serve the community as a whole. Keeping up with the changes in society is a vital part of the system. In the past the criminal justice system had to deal with rapes, robberies, murders, fights, and many of the same things today, but on a smaller scale. In the past law enforcement was more involved with the communities due to the fact that officers walked the streets on patrol. Officers talked with the citizens, and got to know the people within the communities. The result was a community that was not fearful, and that was trusting of the justice system. Years ago there was not the forensics to aid in a case, at the same time there was not today’s technology. As for the forensics this was a hindrance...

...those in the past but due to web 2.0 (more known as the ‘new internet’) and the new digital revolution it has become easier – and faster – for those to report and share deviance. Maybe now in the 20th century the levels of deviance seem amplified in relation to the past. It’s surprising, that even though there has been a drop in recorded crime over the years, the concerns about deviance in young people still remain high. This shows us, as a society, that we don’t necessarily believe in the regular statistical updates about crime. This means, in reality, these stories of youths committing crimes are now fuelled by media backing. Stories involving children, teenagers and gangs (usually committing petty theft or bullying) are made out far worse than it was in the first place. Unfortunately due to the media, youths are made out to seem far worse than they are, by identifying a groups of youths such as “gangs, knives and hoodies” they can create some sense of moral panic. This behaviour can then create a threat to the stability of society and make people re-evaluate their opinions. Most of the time, youths are depicted negatively in the media, and over time this stigmatism has stuck. The media are able to get lots of stories out of youth knife crime, gang crime and ASBO’s, and even some of the positive stories are given a negative twist. When you compare this to what it would’ve been like fifty to sixty years ago, stories like this wouldn’t have been published, based on this...

Due to media exposure and lack of understanding diversity, stereotyping minorities has become more prevalent and those who step out of the box are accused of acting like others. The article references the accusations of acting white that black students face when striving for good grades and aiming for professional careers. The article also references the spread of these accusations in the Caribbean. Students face peer pressure of acceptance not only in racial and ethnic identity but in appearance as well.

The greatest threat to the achievements that have been made is that the criminal element has found ways to intrude.

...Abstract This paper is about France’s issue with women wearing the veil in public. French people justify wanting to ban the veil by saying that it affects their identity, is threatening, and stands for oppression of women. A lot of statistics are used to prove that what they are claiming is incorrect. I will also be supporting my argument with stories of women who are affected already from credible sources like books. As a woman who wears the veil, I want people to think about the impact that this ban can have on women like me. Even though I do not live in France, countries around France are beginning to act similarly, and so sooner or later it will affect me and the women around me. “In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity,” he said to rolling applause. “The burqa is not a religious sign, it’s a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement – I want to say it solemnly: It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic” (“Sarkozy speaks out against burka”, 2009) is what French president Nicholas Sarkozy said on March 2004, according to BBC News. What happens if the ban is applied is that women who are seen wearing the veil in public will be fined 15o euros (£119). 30,000 euros and a one-year sentence to jail will befall men who force their women to wear the veil (“French Senate Votes to Ban Islamic Veil in Public”, 2010). The word people use to describe the veil differs from...

As you read through our report, you should keep in mind what is being said to see the war we fight on social media. We feel that not only you but everyone should take the war on social media into consideration because it affects our lifestyle. Social media constantly shoves us toward choices that we might not want to make. It also shows your children the wrong way to feel about themselves and others; this could potentially lead to other endeavors in their life leading to bad mistakes and relationships.

...Violence in Music Videos and Music Lyrics has a negative impact on children. Music videos that expose profanity and sexuality are inappropriate and leave a negative impression on young children. Violence in music videos can cause health problem. Music videos that promote negative lyrics are affecting young children. Music lyrics with vulgar languages affect the development and well-being of young children. For example, the study author (Stone, 2009) found “that music with explicit references to drugs, sex or violence can be associated with negative effects on school work behavior and emotions” (p. 2). Media violence not only provokes violence among children, it provokes sexual behaviors. However, Music videos add reinforcement to what is being heard with the use of visuals. Rap music video shows an elevated level of content presented of tobacco and alcohol use than any other kind of music videos. Exposure to violence, sexual imagery and alcohol in music videos persuade violent and hostile feelings, potentially aggressive behavior that may direct them to certain types of sadistic behavior. Teens listen to on an average 40 hours of music per week. Children under eight are still developing emotionally. They cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy. They tend to imitate what they hear on the radio and see on T.V. They idolize artists and build themselves to be like them. Children use music to obtain and control of their sensitivity level and to deal with seclusion...

...Privacy has been a part of society for a very long time but it is not surprising that issues of honesty, deception and fraud all circulate personal privacy on a constant basis. Due to the acceleration of the Internet phenomena, people are finding out more evasive information then they thought existed regarding their private life. Due to the two different approaches to privacy, the aspect of consumer protection and free market privacy has now become a norm for most of society. There are many events out there regarding privacy and the rate at which technology is increasing, is making it just that much harder for us to control the issue. I have decided to elaborate on two current privacy issues that most probably affect everybody in this day and age in one way or the other. The two current event topics I thought would enlighten the reader incorporate the social network phenomena, Facebook and the privacy concerns over the new Google Street View Project. Both these examples involve the consumer protection and the free market. The social network phenomenon, Face book, is a free service that is the go-to place for people to share their likes, and dislikes, photos and dating status. However, Facebook has yet again been put on the chopping block regarding their privacy issues. Facebook has several features that have a significant impact on privacy and security of personal information. These features have raised issues of collecting, distributing, controlling and retaining information...
