Language & Reality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay/research paper that discusses the relationship between language, societal constructs and reality. Since the time of ancient Greece, people have contemplated the nature of reality. As Berger and Luckmann point out in their treatise on the nature of reality, what is referred to as reality is basically unknowable except through the narrow channel of human experience as we each interpret it through the facility of our own particular social enclaves and institutions. In other words, reality, rather than being concrete and immutable, is also subjective, that is, subject to change in accordance with the manner in which it is perceived. These ideas are discussed.

Language, Culture And The Global Media
[ send me this paper ]
A 25 page paper. Linguists have predicted that more than half, as many as 90 percent of the 6,000 languages being used today will be extinct by 2050. Languages are becoming extinct at far greater ratios than are mammals and birds. The effect is that there are also cultures that die when the language dies because language is one of the defining characteristics of a culture. This essay provides a look at global immigration patterns with data; a discussion of endangered languages; a discussion of language as a unifying element in culture as well as a barrier to communication; and the possibility of a universal language and what that might be. Interwoven are comments about the media and their roles. Bibliography lists 20 sources.

Liberal Bias of the Media: Truth or Fiction
[ send me this paper ]
(24 pp) Liberal media bias - of course you think to yourself - what else is new? Journalists refute that thought - the majority of times claiming that they have personal liberal perspectives, but that they can separate those from their professional writing, approach and credulity. What if there really is minimal "liberal media bias," what if "they" -whoever they may be-if they exist at all-- are using a propaganda technique of distraction, as a smoke screen ? or research based paranoia?

Liquor Industry Adherent Self-Regulation: Must Rule Advertisements In All Forms Of Mass Media
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Through the years, a distinctive trend has been established with regard to the various methods advertisers employ in order to outshine the competition. Some of these practices are looked upon as being instrumental within such a cutthroat environment; others, however, are viewed as inappropriate and unacceptable. In spite of the fact that the broadcast media are the focal points for such a vast array of advertising techniques, they do not reserve the right to censor public consumption. Some believe that imparting television and radio executives with the power to control the flow of advertising is no different than censoring the inherent freedom of the press. Advertisers have the right to sell their products in whatever manner is most effective; in fact, that is the entire essence behind the free enterprise: that each business has the constitutional right to align whatever components are necessary to make it stand out above its competitors. There is no law in the land that can prohibit advertisers from portraying their products in the most advantageous light possible; it is up to the broadcast media to respect this concept of freedom of speech. It is an unusual occurrence, but entire industries do sometimes regulate their own advertising if it is established that the message being presented is contradictory to societal norm, and the liquor industry is a prime example. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
