Think about it this way…

Because of its facility, we have now become more aware of mediated mobilization and its power. However, I believe that this form of mobilization has been around for ages. Think about the Boston Tea Party, the Crusades and other movements such as those. Yes, it was a different type of mobilization but it served the same purpose as it does nowadays.

Mediated mobilization has become so much easier these days because of how fast and accessible the media is. Everyone has access to a computer some way or another and they become engulfed in worlds that are no where near them. The Kony movement, Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, were all movements that would have not occurred if it weren’t for the social media. We are able to keeps ourselves updated and are also able to let other people know about what is going on. Influencing others was never this easy, and that is a concept that we should all be afraid of. You never know what mediated mobilization will do next, what social groups are trying to do next and how they are going to go about it.

“Family Guy”. 31 Jan. 1991. 25 Mar. 2013.

            <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy>

   Family Guy is an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture.

 

“American Dad!”. 6 Feb. 2005. 28 Mar. 2013.

            <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Dad!>

 

The series focuses on the dysfunctional Smith family, consisting of father, husband, and breadwinner Stan Smith; his better half, housewife Francine Smith; their college-aged daughter, Hayley Smith; and their high-school-aged son, Steve Smith. Outside of the Smith family, there are three additional main characters, including Hayley’s boyfriend turned husband, Jeff Fischer; the family’s pet fish ,Klaus, a man in a fish’s body; and most notably the family’s zany alien, Roger, who’s full of masquerades, brazenness, and shocking antics.

The Cleveland Show is an American animated show created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry, and Richard Appel for the Fox Broadcasting Company as a spin-off of Family Guy. The series centers on the Browns and Tubbs, two dysfunctional families consisting of parents Cleveland Brown and Donna Tubbs and their children Cleveland Brown, Jr., Roberta Tubbs, and Rallo Tubbs, and, like Family Guy, exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture.

            <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jetsons>

 The Jetsons is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera, originally airing in primetime from 1962–1963 and again from 1985–1987 as part of the weekday/weekend morning programming block called The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. It was Hanna-Barbera’s Space Age counterpart to The Flintstones. Reruns can be seen frequently on Boomerang. While the Flintstones live in a world with machines powered by birds and dinosaurs, the Jetsons live in the year 2062 in a futuristicutopia, 100 years in the future at the time of the show’s debut of elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions.

 

“The Flintstones”. 30 Sept. 1960. 1 April 1966.

             <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flintstones>

The Flintstones is an animated, prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966, on ABC. The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The Flintstones was about a working-class Stone Ageman’s life with his family and his next-door neighbor and best friend. The show’s continuing popularity rested heavily on its juxtaposition of modern everyday concerns in the Stone Age setting. The Flintstones was the most financially successful network animated franchise for three decades, until The Simpsons debuted.

Research paper bibliography

For my research project I decided to study the progress of how the media has covered murders since the beginning mass media. I will focus on how explicit and revealing the news has become regarding this subject and will also analyze how images have become more revealing throughout the years. 

My bibliography will include articles and other sources such as:

Research Paper: Revised Proposal & Working Bibliography

While I was working on outlining how to go about the research paper with the previous subject I had chosen (hacker ethics), I kept stumbling across mental roadblocks that were not in the least bit helped by the complex tangle of information concerning the morality of hackers. Instead, I was inspired to take the paper in a different direction altogether.

The focus of this new paper would be to examine the legal issues of fanfiction. Fanfiction is loosely defined as writing centred on pre-existing published characters and/or settings created by writers of literature, film, television or other entertainment media. Amateur writers would then spin new story lines, continue off of old ones, and extend the background of old and new characters as a form of creative expression. The conflict that arises is the issue of copyright, whereby copyright holders (the original authors) feel they have to protect their intellectual property from being used and abused by fans, despite the fact amateur writers do not make profit off of their work.

The research paper will lead on a discussion of copyright and if, in some sense, the creativity of the masses is being stifled in the struggle to uphold the law.
