I have written a paper before about violence in advertising aimed at children. Here are a selection of references which you might find useful:\n\nHoek, J.; & Laurence, K. (1993). Television advertising to children: An analysis of selected New Zealand commercials. Marketing Bulletin, 4, 19-29.\n\nLarson, M.S. (2003). Gender, race, and aggression in television commercials that feature children. Sex Roles, 48 (1/2), 67-75.\n\nMaguire, B; Sandage, D.; & Weatherby, G.A. (2000). Violence, morality, and television commercials. Sociological Spectrum, 20 (1), 121-143.\n\nRajecki, D.W.; McTavish, D.G.; Rasmussen, J.L.; Schreuders, M.; Byers, D.C.; & Jessup, K.S. (1994). Violence, conflict, trickery, and other story themes in TV ads for food for children. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 24 (19), 1685-1700.\n\n\nHope this helps.

Okay, this info, I got from a website, so don't quote me.  \n\nIt is not being featured at this moment.  It will supposedly be presented again in summer 2006 and then be retired....but hey, if it's as popular as it was before, then it will probably go on.

Another "usual one"--stem cell research a.k.a "Using your twin brother for spare parts"...  oh, let's not forget genetically modified products. \n\nBut writing about something that you don't hear about every day is a better idea. Most people have already formed an opinion about where they stand on these "big issues" and are usually less willing to even read your paper if it goes against their "beliefs". Your teacher might give you a credit for picking a topic that is less debated by general public. For example: "reintroducing wolves into the environment", "rebuilding houses destroyed by floods, fires and earthquakes in places where they will be likely destroyed by the same few years down the road"....

TV advertising is a marketing communication.

Check out www.ClassTopic.com   They have some great topics that I've used in the past.  Each topic has three good sources to get you started on the research, too.

Ok... are you pro or con?  Does your school/library have Ebscohost resources?  They have a lot of good articles and even a section called Opposing Viewpoints.

I think you can research this one yourself. I could do it (it's scattered throughout my many media guide books) but it's far too much work for just 10 points.

People have given you specific ideas.  The point is to find something controversial.  I find it best if I select something I feel strongly about and then argue from the opposite side of the issue.  I learn more and I have less tendency to allow my emotions to cloud the paper.\n\nGood Luck on your final.

The thesis sentence should b negative only if ur attitude towards the topic is negative thruout the essay. Note that thesis sentence is meant 4 expressing the writer's attitude.\n\nAs 2 the the given topic, I think there's no scope 2 write an opposing   thesis sentence coz television itself is only a machine & u cant call a machine evil. Got it? This type of essay is not supposed 2 b normative.

I forget, can the 'visualize' part of Monroe's Motivated Sequence be used to depict something you think we should -avoid-?  In that case I'd suggest a speech/paper about the eroding privacy and citizens' rights in the US wherein the "visualize" stage describes a 1984-esque scenario that could occur if we don't take action now ... er, or if that's not something you agree with/believe in I suppose you could always do one of the generic topics like urging folks to recycle, buy hybrid cars, cut back on fast food consumption, exercise more, etc ... or heck, MMS is often used as a "selling" strategy, isn't it?  If you're into stuff like this perhaps you could use it to urge folks to go out and buy, I dunno, a Nintendo Wii or a PS3 when they come out ... ?

if you can, go through 3rd party sources, i.e. the BBC or something like that. There aren't too many places in this country that are objective anymore, so there is likely to be a bias to most of what you find concerning them. Good luck, and don't believe anyone's spin, learn everything for yourself. Never trust a politition.

Media meaning news?  I think they just focus on the hottest stories.  If you're talking about entertainment television, then I see what you mean.  I once counted how many African Americans there were during 2 minutes of commercials.  The number was low compared to the amount of Caucasian actors.  I do think it's getting better, though.
