    Courts in Today’s Pop Culture

    As Americans, we rely a great deal on the entertainment industry to educate us about things we don’t understand. In many ways, we live vicariously through the experiences of fictional characters and believe they learn many things from those fictional characters. For example, many people have said they learned about forensic techniques by watching the “C.S.I.” shows on television. They firmly believe that can assist in an actual criminal investigation because they have seen “experts” on television handle similar situations.…

    Analysis of Showtime's Tv Show Dexter's Cover Art

    Showtime’s new age murder drama, Dexter (2006- to present), is more than what the cover art will have you to believe it is, or is it? Dexter is a television show about the life of a murderer. Dexter, the main character, is no ordinary killer though. He is a community hero! He kills murderers; only serving justice to those who truly deserve it. If taking a passing glance at the show’s ad you might think that it’s just a normal sorrow or sullen looking man and his name written in bright red letters across the bottom. You may even notice that beneath his name it says “SHOWTIME,” causing you to realize that is actually a TV show. So you decide to take a second look, then you realize that the hand his chin is perched on is a much different color than the rest of him and below the hand it says, “Take Life. Seriously.” Now you are really intrigued and start reading the rest of the ad and below, what you now recognize is a bloody smear of a name, are the words “A Killer New Series.” The ad basically begs your dark side to watch the show and find out what they really mean by “killer.” The use of color, short phrases, and gore-like imagery in the seemingly normal setting on Dexter’s cover art gives the ad an eerie feel which is perfect for the gruesome show’s reputation of being a dramatic narrative look into the life of a hero serial killer.…

    TV Crime Drama

    “After all, we all have a built in sense of justice… this built in sense of justice could be the basis of our desire to watch the bad man go down.”(hubpages.com). Going back to Bruckheimer theory of the “White Knight” coming in to save the day. We like seeing criminals get the punishment they deserve. “So why is there a need to make these?(creative episodes). The obvious explanation is that it prevents boredom. Overtime the human mind has grown to solve puzzle and to see through intricate situations.”(hubpages.com). This explains why tv dramas are what most people enjoy watching. Besides the sense of justice we have people just tend to genuinely enjoy watching crime dramas. It sometimes isn’t the need to see the cruddy guys be put away, but the enjoyment of just watching all the crime fighting and action happening that makes you scream at the TV and get all excited about. “It is a combination of us trying to satisfy our sense of justice, our desire to feel good about ourselves and our urge to have thorough knowledge of someone else’s intentions that makes us so addicted to crime series.”(hubpages.com). While others might disagree and see no interest in crime drama because in general we see enough crime happening in real life whether you read it in the newspaper, media, or even seeing in it on you local 7 news we get sick and tired of watching crime happening all around the world. So, we understand the reason for the crime happening and the violence, but sometimes some the action or events that happen in crime drama are just too fake. “Jurors today want to see some kind of high-tech crime-fighting science, because they’ve seen it on TV: DNA off an eyelash left at the scene, or a magical fingerprint detecting camera. As a prosecutor, a large part of my job was bringing the jury’s expectations into line with reality, despite these TV show.”(Leotta).…

    TV's True Violence

    In her Newsweek article “TV’s True Violence” Meg Greenfield argues that excessive fictional violence desensitizes viewers to the image of violence they see on television. Her discussion about this subject “generates hypocrisy and confusion”: the coarsening impact of violence on viewers, the effect on children, the volume of the violence, and the harm of dulling our response to the real thing. Everyone knows that there is too much violence on Television and that the networks must take action. Sex and violence are mixing on the screen and are becoming a “single phenomenon” and everyone knows that this phenomenon can have negative effects on the viewers’ behavior. Greenfield reveals that this “coarsening” makes “the unthinkable just a little less unthinkable, a little more OK.” Two objections Meg Greenfield has, the first is not to the violence itself, but to the volume and the way it is presented on Television. In the history of art violence has frequently played a role in , literature, art, and for example in Shakespeare’s plays, but violence back then had actually meant something. The second objection to TV’s fictional violence is that it will affect the viewer’s reaction to the real thing, for instance, the images of the wounded kids in “Sarajevo” and in other massacres and wars. Greenfield believes that We need to be able to respond appropriately to the images of violence. While every thinking person would agree there is too much violence on TV, the solution Greenfield offers is flawed. Watching more real violence on TV would complicate the issue, because real violence can be biased, desensitizing and manipulated.…

    Essay On Fear Of Crime

    Annenberg public policy centre at the university of Pennsylvania conducted a study comparing annual changes in the amount of violence portrayed on popular primetime dramas from the early 70s through 2010 and the study shows that “Incidents of TV violence on broadcast television have increased since the late 1990s and has the public’s fear of crime, the study also says that its findings suggest that TV drama may “transport” viewers emotionally into the imagined world of TV shows in a way that creates fear of crime beyond the influence of the national violent crime rate or the reported perception of local crime”. For example programmes like ‘crime watch’ on BBC one, the show features around three to four cases and each case has its own reconstruction of the crime, they usually show the audience key evidence from the crimes, the…
