...Streaming Media Meggan Wood ENGL 135 18 May 2015 Prof. Joan Snyder Streaming Media The last few decades have brought about numerous changes to the audio and video delivery method. Where once a family would gather around a large and stationary radio to hear their favorite programs broadcast, nowadays a person can log in to one of many music sites and listen to pretty much whatever they want. Also, television programming providers such as cable and satellite are getting a run for their money with the introduction of various websites and gadgets that allow one to pay much less for much more personalized content. This has all been made possible by advances in streaming media technology. Streaming media is defined as “video and/or audio data transmitted over a computer network for immediate playback rather than for file download and later (offline) playback” (Mitchell, 2015, para. 1). As streaming media becomes more accessible, it is forever changing how the general population receives content and communicates with one another. Without a doubt, consumers have seen the ability to obtain, view, save, and replay various types of streaming media change drastically over the last 100 years. Radio started the whole streaming media movement back in 1916 with regular Morse Code weather pattern communications in Wisconsin. These were the first regular broadcasts outside of a military or maritime function (VanBerkum, 2014, para. 3). From there, Muzak, recorded background music...

...Analysis In 2007, a report titled Young People and News was published at the John F. Kennedy School of Business at Harvard. Put together by the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, the study was based off of a survey of 1800 teens selected at random. They selected their respondents-a person supplying information for a survey or questionnaire-randomly and the interviews happened over the phone. The study Comparison of Demographics For Media in 1995,2006 consisted of two surveys done in 1995 and 2006 with 1,006 people in 1995 and 1,010 people in 2006 (Patterson, 2007). They selected their respondents by phone exchange after selecting a zip code at random. If no one would answer the first call, they would add one to the number and keep on adding until someone picked up. Once that occurred, they would select their interviewee by whose birthday came next in the household. The focus of one study was how much news were young people exposed to, and the other was focused on the changes in the demographics of media usage in an 11-year span. The goal of the Harvard study wasn’t to prove that young people didn’t care about the news, because the analysts involved didn’t think that was the case. “‘The notion is that no young...

...Ryan Brown COM 702 3/18/2010 Final Paper In his paper entitled Idolizing and Monetizing the Public: The Production of Celebrities and Fans, Representatives and Citizens in Reality TV, Yngvar Kjus explores audience participation theories and new media by analyzing both the Norwegian and American versions of Idol, a popular reality musical competition series. His exploration of the program via the analysis of collective participation, idolization, and production tactics ultimately unveil a well thought-out and persuasive spectacle that is not as real or grand as it comes off in societies around the globe. While Kjus does touch on theories like massive participation and voter behavior, there is certainly room in his paper for expansion on these topics as well as room for the inclusion of others. Over the course of multiple seasons of the Norwegian version of Idol, Kjus attends nine tapings and multiple production meetings in an attempt to answer his two main research questions. His questions set to find out how reality programs increase the participatory scope and empowerment of audiences and everyday people, as well as how television industries are reinventing themselves as new forms of media emerge, namely online and social media. Kjus starts the paper by presenting these research questions and then explores the history of reality TV and studio audiences, touching on game shows, talk shows, and docusoaps. He then gets into Idol, a show created by Simon Fuller...

...of every 100 000 women suffer from an eating disorder, where as 0.7 per 100 000 males suffer from an eating disorder (Gucciardi et al, 2003). In addition, Statistics Canada notes that 90% or more of all cases pertaining to the diagnosis of an eating disorder are for women (Statistics Canada, n.d.). Furthermore, the Canadian Institution of Health Information states that in the year 2000 , 11.54% of women diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, and 15.36% of women diagnosed with bulimia nervosa, reported suffering from depression. Moreover, these percentages equate to more than double of the 5.7% of women from the general population who have reported suffering from depression (Gucciardi et al, 2003). This paper will explore and address eating disorders through past research papers and as well to propose a possible experiment that may be used to further uncover the underlying causes for eating disorders. In the article “Observations on Human Behaviour in Experimental Semistarvation and Rehabilitation” by Joseph C. Franklin, Burtrum C. Schiele, Josef Brozek, and Ancel Keys, explains and explores the affects of low calorie diets. Furthermore, Franklin et. al explains how soldiers were affected by starvation, throughout the World War as the experiment altered the diet of thirty-six young men. The men went from consuming 3,492 calories per day for 6 months to consuming 1,570 calories. The yielded results showed the effects of consuming a low calorie diet,...

Also, Oberholzer-Gee (2010) indicates that 60% of World Wide Web broadband busy by consumers’ video, game and music sharing. To avoid this issue intellectual proprietors use various methods. In this paper is shown methods to dodge problem of digital piracy. There are two ways to protect legal digital content from piracy. Firstly, there is indirectly impact to society, where manufacturers are producing additional equipment like guitars for game “Guitar Hero” and forwarding special social services where people can play with each other via internet, so while people playing, system is checking license (Goel, 2010). In addition, companies perform free software with fewer options than paid software. Moreover, some organizations such as Free Software Association and Open Source agitation, which advert spreading software for free have helped to grapple with problem of expensive software and companies that gain from this, for example, Microsoft (Hill, 2007). Secondly, there is direct impact on users, where companies and internet providers use methods which impacts directly on users such as blocking peer-to-peer connections between users and web-sites where users can download pirated software. Furthermore, closing the sources of piracy is supported by governments of countries such as China (Tong, 2008). In this paper is shown methods...

...Aggression and Violent Behavior 10 (2004) 99 – 128 Does viewing violent media really cause criminal violence? A methodological review Joanne Savage* Department of Justice, Law and Society, American University, 4400 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20016-8043, USA Received 9 September 2002; received in revised form 26 October 2003; accepted 30 October 2003 Abstract The topic of media violence has been the subject of heated debate in recent decades. There is a vast empirical literature on the effects of television on aggression but no published comprehensive review has ever focused on those studies that use criminal aggression as their outcome. The present paper represents an attempt to fill this void and provide a resource for those who do not wish to delve into four decades of original research in order to assess this line of investigation. Studies are evaluated based on contemporary standards of research in the field of criminology. Although the possibility that television and film violence has an impact on violent criminality remains, it is concluded here that, despite persistent published reviews that state the contrary, the body of published, empirical evidence on this topic does not establish that viewing violent portrayals causes crime.

The writing of the four page minimum paper is not captured by the five hour online aspect of the online portion. Each debate review and discussion is broken down into four phases: watching/reading the media, small group discussion, large group discussion board and your individual work through the four page paper. The Focus for the business-related debate The focus for the second debate assignment is to continue to pay attention to any definite arguments – the V and T argument structures (identify at least two), but this time pay more attention to the conditional types of arguments that may arise within the documentary. These are statements are include things like, “If this, then this.” Or “Either this or this” – or any of the valid forms we looked at in class. Once you have identified at least 4 throughout the movie, diagram them either through a sentential structure or a symbolic one and briefly describe how they are used in the documentary. For a bonus, see if you can find an invalid argument – one that either denies the antecedent or affirms the consequent. Please be sure to also spend some time in the online small group discussion board set up for you to talk through the various arguments you have identified within the documentary. Finally, give comment to your views on a comparison between the more definite argument structures and the conditional argument structures...

There are a number of factors which can prevent individuals from reaching self actualization. During the 1960’s, Maslow estimated that only 2% of the population ever achieve self-actualization. At this time, Maslow believed that figures such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass fell into this category of being self-actualized. However, given the advances in equality and access to resources that have been made in the past 50 years, one would think that the percentage of the population who have achieved self-actualization would have increased. While there are no studies to ascertain whether this is or is not the case, there are a number of factors to be taken into consideration that act as barriers to self-actualization which I will now discuss. In the past 50 years, society in which we live has made a shift to being one that in largely concerned with materialism. As a result of this, from a young age individuals are becoming more and more materialistic and are focusing on obtaining the latest electrical gadgets, cars and footwear. The media plays a large part in this. Today even without leaving our house we are subjected...

...MEDIA’S INFLUENCE ON BODY IMAGE and its AFFECTS Introduction Body image is a central part of mental and physical well-being, and because the mass media are pervasive communicators of social standards, they greatly influence people’s perception by setting unrealistic standards for what is “normal” for body weight and appearance. Thus, reinforcing people to emulate and believe what they see and hear. There is an extensive amount of studies on the effects of media exposure on body dissatisfaction and the experience of negative thoughts and esteem about one’s body, which is linked to a range of physical and mental health problems, including eating disorders and low self-esteem. Body Image: Self-Esteem and Identity Several individual variables predict or influence the relationship between media exposure and body disturbances. Most of the research has been done with women and girls, for whom the “body perfect” ideal is ultra-thin, and whose media models are typically underweight (Tantleff-Dunn, 1999). To determine whether viewing images of thin models influences how women feel about their bodies, there were many studies done using the social comparison framework, finding that women engage in “upward social comparisons,” comparing themselves to the thin models depicted in the media. When women believe that they do not measure up to the models, they feel more negatively about their own weight and body. For example, Lin and Kulik (2006) found that college...

Holt discusses the role of a women at this time as a “domestic caregiver” and how women held responsibility within the home and childcare. the article additionally, focuses on the idea of gender construction and how societies key role in this process. Holt follows this up by saying how these gender constructions often times leads to formulate an identity. In the later half of the article holt discusses...
