...Media Ethics - Assignment n°3 JOANA hADDAD MEADIA ETHICS _ RESCUE ME SPRING 2015 The new school Joana Haddad Media Ethics - Assignment n°3 I . Situation Rescue Me is a drama that centers on the inner working of Engine 62, a New York City firehouse, and the personal and emotional battles of its members in a post-9/11 world. The TV show is mostly centered around Tommy Gavin, a veteran firefighter whose life is in turmoil as he copes with stresses and fears of his job as well as the separation from his wife Janet. Tommy is lost, just like all other firefighters. In the June 20th, 2006 episode titled Sparks, Tommy Gavin was at a breaking point. The character was involved in a controversial storyline: Tommy flies into an angry rage, throws Janet down on the couch, rips her shirt off, lifts her skirt up, and basically ‘rapes’ her. However, the way the scene unfolded on screen, it was almost as if Janet enjoyed Tommy forcing himself on her. Janet never said the words “No” or “Stop”, she did physically try to get Tommy off of her when he first attacked her. But moments later she gave in, and seemed to approve what was going on. At the end of the scene, Tommy stood up, apologized for ripping her shirt, and left Janet’s house with a smirk on his face – he seemed quite pleased with himself. Television reviewers, bloggers, and fans complained about the scene. There was a debate about whether Tommy had raped Janet or not. Janet's reaction and Tommy's expression...

...Nan Jiang Professor Kotsko Computers and Writing 23 February 2015 The Effects of Computers Writing With the development of computer technology, human language has got into the information communication stage. Computer writing began to play an increasingly important role in our social life. Computers, and the electronic writing they have enabled, significantly alter traditional conceptions of writing. Today, I selected the Kevin Brooks’s story “Fairy Tales” to talk about what the Sharmila Pixy Ferris has discussed, the effects of computers based on the “Fairy Tales.” This story is really a good example to tell us that computer writing in changing our life, this technology brings us benefits but also something bad. When I clicked the mouse to open the website, a colorful page appeared. I read the text and moved the mouse to try to find where I can click. Then I clicked the “We Tell Stories,” and it opened a new webpage which is not related to my project, so I closed it. I read the instructions, and made up a name for the peasant’s daughter. I typed Nancy, a name easy to remember, and I clicked submit. I read the first part of the story, and made a King’s name, Louis and clicked submit. I had to choose an animal which will be most helpful to me against the King and what they are like. I chose the worm because it is an animal I hate and am afraid of. Then, I clicked “ugly” by mistake, but I cannot go back. I continued to read the story that I participated in, and after I picked...

...Jorge Prieto Personal Narrative Essay Assignment People may think that talking about the situation Venezuela is passing through these days is a topic everyone is using so its not unique at all or is to cliché but for those who have been leaving for more than half of there life as unstable as it can go, running from city to city and leaving their families and love ones behind in the search of a better life and future this topic is actually very relevant and important. The political, economical and security problems Venezuela is facing nowadays has forced me, and a million of other Venezuelan citizens, to look for a future outside of our country of origin. I have to admit, even though a lot of people that remain in Venezuela believe that those who left took the easy way out of the problem, I believe is the complete opposite. I left the country where I was born but my heart and soul are still there. Even though more than 4 years have past I will always have the hope on going back to implement in my country all the amazing things I have had the opportunity to learn in Boston and Miami to make Venezuela the country it was 20 years ago, a country worth leaving in. When I first left Venezuela I had a mix of feelings I had never felt before. I had the sense as if I had a knot in my throat that didn’t let me breath properly and an emptiness in my chest as if my heart was not there anyone. I was afraid of leaving and been alone in a place I had never lived before and not be sure...

...Organisational Theory Assignment Baruch Spinoza once said, “The highest activity a human can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free”. Spinoza quoting that understanding leads to freedom – emancipation – can be interpreted as a statement from the perspective of a critical theorist (Green 2004) and if left unchallenged this statement would prove absolute. However, using a modernist perspective it can be argued that understanding would lead to quantification (Hatch, 2006) that could in turn, lead to greater efficiency. Solely from referencing the two theories above and the 2 ways of looking at a single statement we can ascertain that a combination of perspectives gives us a greater understanding than a single perspective. This essay explores how using a multi perspective approach would provide the individual with a more comprehensive and well ronded understanding to organisations, an increased capacity to understand how to better embrace structure and its implications and the holistic simplification and explaination of cultural effects. It also brings to light the conflicting nature of these theories and its inherant biasness. The first advantage of using a multi-perspective approach to understanding an organisation would be that it provides us with a more comprehensive and well-rounded understanding to organisations. This greater understanding begins with the internalisation of the different perspective’s ontology and epistemology...

...------------------------------------------------- ASSIGNMENT 4 (5), OPTION 2 ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- What particular significance do media systems have for the construction of national identities? How far, if at all, is it possible to have a (sense of) national identity without the media? ------------------------------------------------- Introduction I will argue that national identity is a problematic concept, constructedthrough imagined indicators of unity, as well as through a process of othering. I will look at how national identity is more valuable for political and commercial purposes, than for the development of authentic or peaceful national and internationalcommunities.Furthermore, I will explore howdominant national power influences identity, with education as the foundational cornerstone, andmediaas the toolfor the normalisation and reinforcement of national identity. Debunking the homogeneity of national identity Das and Harindranath write that individuals’ ability to identify themselves through nationality signals a “shared acceptance of the nation-state as a reasonable and ‘natural’ way of organizing social and political life” (2006: p.7). However, the fallibility of the homogeneity that is presupposed to constitute a national identity becomes apparent when examining various related definitions. In the case of nation-states, Smith writes that they must have “a measure...
