    Rhetorical Analysis On Louis Jenkins

    Jenkins starts his article using an analogy to emphasize society’s strong feelings between kiddie porn, Timothy McVeigh, and snuff films to get readers on his side; everyone hates McVeigh for the Oklahoma City bombing and many people hate snuff films. Therefore, Jenkins figures that if he uses examples of instances where people have strong opinions of McVeigh and snuff films in the beginning of his article, then he will be able to persuade readers throughout the rest of his writing to believe his examples he gives for his thesis.…

    Vivian Sobchack Analysis

    Sociologists and cultural critics still argue about the effects of media violence. I don’t think anybody really knows the answer so why even bring it up in the first place? So kids, why even stock the flames? Still, violence and sensational gore is part and parcel of the beloved action-adventure film, science fiction, and suspense thrillers. It is an important component in the craft of screen writing. In this age of computer animation and special effects, it has become as mundane as ‘coffee and donuts’. Believe me, if they ever pull it all out, you’ll sit up on your sofa one day after your favorite show, or leave the movies after the world was saved and wonder what you…

    Symbolic Violence In Sirlei Dias De Carvahlo Pinto

    Acts of violence amongst humans has transcended natural borders, time and has transformed in meaning. While we are often quick to associate violence with its physical definition and powerful images of direct physical harm towards individuals, its roots stem into deeper and darker spaces than the bruises and bodies we see. Physical violence has permeated through history because of symbolic violence. This term represents the “censored, euphemized and socially recognized harm that does not take place overtly and must be disguised under the veil of an enchanted relationship” (Bordeiu, 191). The offensive jokes in good humor that reflect alarming negative stereotypes about groups of individuals represents the presence of symbolic violence, and…

    Steven King Why We Crave Horror Movies Analysis

    The horror genre is meant to bring out the worst in people. Each and every person has dark and evil thoughts that are not often seen during the day. However, the moment they begin watching a horror movie, those evil thoughts take over. It is a “peculiar sort of fun, indeed. The fun comes from seeing others menaced – sometimes killed” (King, 1). These sort of movies appeal to the side of people that is often tucked away. While I am driving down the highway and a person suddenly cuts me off and I have to slam on the breaks, I often think what would happen if I jumped out of my car and slammed…

    In some cases trigger warnings not only warn students but censor valuable material that is important to the class. In the article, “CON: ‘Trigger Warnings’ Impose Censorship in the Name of Sensitivity” it states “Or they could censor the course material in the name of sensitivity. Small acts of censorship could lead to much larger ones. Already, trigger warnings have been applied to such works as ‘The Great Gatsby,’ ‘The Merchant of Venice’ and other classics.” Here the author Donald Down, who is a researcher at the…

    Benefits Of Trigger Warnings

    Despite the benefits that associated with providing trigger warnings, there are some potential drawbacks. One argument is that trigger warnings may be too protective and result in failing to fully prepare students for their lives after college. Lukianoff and Haidt (2015) argue that rather than supporting students, trigger warnings provide too much protection and result in a lack of preparation for professional work settings that demand, "intellectual engagement with people and ideas one might find uncongenial or wrong" (pg. 5). While that is not the intention behind trigger warnings, it could be an unintentional consequence. When examining trigger warnings, Leiter (2016) discusses “easy cases” such as students who are legally entitled to trigger…

    Violence in the Arts – Plato vs. Aristotle

    Nowadays, it is hard to turn on a television program, catch a movie or buy your younger sibling a video game without encountering a warning for extreme violence. Everyday, our lives are exposed to violence on the screen, whether it is in the latest Sopranos episode or even watching the six o'clock news. For quite a while now, people have been demanding that stricter censorship be placed on the media, especially those programs and video games that can easily be obtained by the youth, due to their feelings that this violence can influence people to "act out". However, this is not a new idea. Back in ancient Greece, the philosopher Plato believed that exposure to the emotions of the arts (especially drama) would encourage people to act out violent emotions portrayed in the drama. As documented in his work The Republic, Plato believed strongly that the perfect life was comprised of total balance and harmony in one's mindset and that any stimulated emotions would result in an imbalance. The first theorist to challenge Plato's idea was his well-known student, Aristotle. Aristotle felt that exposure to the strong emotions of the arts had a positive psychological effect on people because it gave them a chance to let out any emotional frustrations that they might have bottled up inside. I concur with the ideas of Plato, being that the media has become such an influential authority in our society, and the constant exposure to violent behavior within the media is creating numbness to it, especially within our children, who are less able to distinguish between factual and fictional. Our society, beginning with a child's parents, should become stricter with…

    The Benefits Of Trigger Warnings

    There has been recent discussions of trigger warnings, a controversial issue has been whether it protects students or take away freedom of speech. Microaggressions are small actions or word choices that people can do or say, without any intent, which will end up offending other people. Students are starting to use the word “trigger warnings”, a word that first appeared on blogs and other online forums to alert people of content that contain sexual assault (Wilson). Universities are using them more on campuses and due to this, college students are calling out for professors to put trigger warnings on materials that can cause some kind of traumatic experience. Trigger warnings harm the ability of college professors to convey academic content…
