THE EFFECTS OF MEDIA VIOLNCE ON CHILDREN On April
20 1999 two boys by the names of Dylan Klebold and
Eric Harris walked into their High school in the
little town of Combine Colorado and opened fire on
their fellow classmates. Some say it was the

Extreme Close Music Industry

Kiss: The Hype What is hype? Hype is defined as
promotional publicity of an extravagant or
contrived kind. It is used to lure the consumer to
a certain product or an event of some kind. The
competition for the consumers attention is intense
and even desperate at times. Throughout the 1970
s, there was a vast machinery of hype surrounding
the music industry. Some of what came out of it
was original and imaginative, but some was
deceptive and outrageous. Whatever it was, it was
all aimed at the co...

Jimi Hendrix Experience Heavy Metal

Heavy metal is one of the most misunderstood
genres of music in our day. Rather unfortunately,
this is often a result of brazen ignorance about
the subject, brought about by certain sectors of
the media, society, and listeners themselves.
Instead of blindly back lashing against those
responsible for the defamation of heavy metal, I
decided to write a history of the aforementioned
music, in hopes of providing yet another source of
information for those who wish to learn about its
development. In ...

Good on paper but not in fact. As always, the
truth is never so simple. Everyone has their own
take on what is real and what is not. Those who
have a sense of reality most similar to our own
are those we eventually think of as friends or
compatriots. We tend to avoid those who disagree

being college students and others with
high-bandwidth connections [T 1, cable modems
038; DSL]) are using Napster to download entire
albums and put them on recordable CDs. They dont

Lecture Notes Contemporary Society

Photographs do not simply serve as visual mementos
of a family's past. Through its inherent
conventions the camera and its by-products, the
photographic image and the family album, help to
construct and perpetuate the ideology of the
family whilst simultaneously acting as an
equalizing force in society. The function of the
family photograph does not dissolve at this point.
Family photographs and snapshots also preserve
ancestral history and perpetuate memories, thereby
acting as a means of famil...
