Television Show Scandal
Rationale For the purposes of this project, I have selected the television show called Scandal. Scandal is a highly charged politically devious show surrounding the highest valued employees of the White House. The show’s main character is named Olivia Pope who is quickly branded as a political “Fixer” that (with the help of a team of very loyal Lawyers and friends) that work to help high value clients menuver though their scandelous predicaments. Furthermore, she is quickly noted as the reason that her ex-lover and recently turned President actually has his Presidency. Without going into too much detail, this show is centered around Olivia’s relationship with the Predients, and each of the characters intracate webs of continuing scandals that slowly reveal themselves as the episodes progress. Themes of love, murder, betrayl, govermnet consperacies and more are central to the allure of Scandal.

It is up in the air on whether or not any of the characters will come out on top, with their white hat intact.

Icon #4: The Bomb
• Progressing though the show we find out the Quinn has a very complicated story. We end up fining out that her story envolves a bomb, and a member or two of the team she now works with having helped her escape from impending catastophe without her knowledge. This icon was chosen to demonstrate how intertwied the characters are in their scandalous endevours.

Icon # 5: The White House
• The White House was chosen because it is at the center of most of the shows themes and plot lines. Oliva and the presidents affair, the murderous employees, the governement consperiacies, and so on. It is also a sign of hope, pride and the sevear loyalty the central characters have to their country.

    Criminal Minds

    Robert William Pickton was a pig farmer and serial killer who targeted prostitutes and murdered them on his farm. We viewed the documentary about him, as well as the Criminal Minds episode to compare how real life crimes are shown in the media. They both had very different ways of portraying the case. The documentary had real facts, interviews, and voice recordings of Pickton. The Criminal Minds episode followed a similar storyline, but altered some of the facts to make it a more interesting and intense show that their audience would enjoy. Some of the differences were the length of time it took to catch Pickton, the isolation of the farm, and the gender of the victims.…

    Is T.V. Really The Enemy?

    • 643 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Unfortunately, according to Toulman’s logic, Winn’s accusing claim that television is splitting families apart, is not well-backed due to her failure to provide reliable resources for her data, a strong enough warrant to show the overall picture, and lack of qualifiers, to prove that television is truly this damaging to family life and the purpose families should serve in society. Winn takes instances that shine a negative light on TV from individual cases, which neither represent the total American population nor show the behaviors of average Americans. When the personal stories from people suffering from the reign of television are brought up, there are no names given to give credibility to the writers. Winn merely says the gender, or the occupation of the writer, or where she or he hails from, and then she states that the situations these families are experiencing reflect that of almost every American citizen. When she does name the author of the work she is using in her piece, it comes with no description of who this human being is— who are Bruno Bettelheim and Urie Bronfenbrenner? For all the reader knows, it could be her next-door…
