New York City / Media Visual Imagery
[ send me this paper ]
20 pages in length. The media image of New York City is one that is both intriguing and dishonest; nowhere else are there more accounts of stereotypical imagery than is portrayed within the Big Apple. A number of various entities have worked together though the decades to create the larger than life image of New York City the world has come to adopt; art, photography and film represent a significant part of that influence. When one contemplates the visual imagery of New York City as it relates to the media, one does not have to think long before a predisposed illustration comes to mind. Not unlike other victims of media influence, New York City is perceived as a twisted Mecca of entertainment, violence, self-centeredness, insanity and raw indifference. The writer discusses the various aspects of media visual imagery as it relates to New York City. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

1877-1900: Urban Immigrant And Growing Middle Class
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The existence of the urban immigrant of 1877-1900 was not particularly well-received by the growing middle class. The gulf that existed between the two groups was primarily born from a sense of ethnic privilege that had been established early on. It can be argued that this rift that developed, which defined the self-imposed status, proved to be a serious threat to the overall social fabric. For nearly as long as man has existed, social intolerance has been driving a wedge between groups of people whose ambition is the same: to better their existence through upward social movement. This attitude has been carried down through the centuries, despite much effort on all sides to abolish such prejudicial practices. The writer discusses that although slavery had all but been wiped out, there still existed deep-seated resentment toward certain social classes for all the unnecessary suffering minorities had been forced to endure throughout history. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
