need a topic to write about..

[marcos713]

ok well for my english 1102 class, we were assigned a 7pg paper on *MEDIA VS REALITY*. we were given until this sunday February 21st to come up with a few possible topics for our paper. Right now i have a topic in mind but not too sure about it.

i need topics where things in the media are shown to be different than in reality. for example the media's point of view of the war in iraq as opposed to what really going on.

I wanted to see if any1 could maybe help me and Tdurr come up with some topics..


Thanks in advance
reps will be given!

what about the idealism of movies? It's a pretty broad topic so 7 pages should be easy

[Bajjani]

i mean, target the news, target movies, target music

pick a target, talk bout how its diff and alike

yea thats a good general topic but we were told it has to be a bit more specific with 7 sources as well 2 or more pictures/sketches of the topic we choose.

I'm obsessed with music. You can use different genre's. Rap vs ghetto life. Emo vs high school drama. Country vs being a closet fag

i see how i could possibly do it on rap vs the ghetto life. im not sure how the emo and the country topic would fit in with media vs reality tho.

Do it on Music vs Reality. Then you can break it up vs Diff Genre's. Rock vs Reality, Rap vs Reality, Country, Emo, Gospel, whatever..

Then talk about how people CLAIM it affects, like MM and the Columbine shooting

Well do an interview with anyone on who music as an impact on their life, be it listening/writing/playing. Use Columbine as an example of how people can feel like Music causes violence acts and feeds into reality.

"Some analysts argued that part of the killers' problem may have been desensitization due to their constant exposure to violent imagery in such video games, as well as music and movies, theorizing that their obsession with these forms of media may have led them to depersonalization.[citation needed] American media compared the massacre to a fantasy sequence from the 1995 film The Basketball Diaries in which protagonist Leonardo DiCaprio wears a black trench coat and shoots six classmates in his school's hallways. Several unsuccessful lawsuits against video game manufacturers were filed as a result by parents of some of the victims. Harris and Klebold were fans of the movie Natural Born Killers and used the film's acronym NBK as a code in their home videos and journals."

hmm so it isnt as serious as the media is making it? im just glad atleast toyota recognizes it had a flaw, unlike honda with the new SIs trannys grinding.

Honda has had major recalls as well, I guess just not with the SI tranny.

NO sex, in the champagne room.

[Whiteboy572]

They are funny with the wording on the recalls from what is said is done to what is actually done. What they would call a reinforcement bar a normal person would call a shim, but you cant say shim or itll sound like a shortcut and might not fix the problem, imo.
