In the past television had to be consumed weekly; now, with streaming services like Netflix, it is possible to watch whole seasons in one day. This new way of watching shows benefits companies like Netflix, especially now that their service is online rather than mailing DVDs, however it is worrisome for advertisers. Creators and producers also now have to face the challenge of writing shows with the binge viewer in mind. Netflix is encouraging this habit by automatically playing the next episode of a show without any effort from the viewer. Traditional TV and advertisers are threatened by binge watching. Neurologically though binge watching causes a kind of trance that causes the experience to seem more real. Some worry that shows were meant to be contemplated after viewing and this …show more content…
The idea that a full series release can give the same sense as watching a movie, only being broken up into episodes that could be consumed in my own time. “This model allows writers to do more than they could in a movie, given the time constraint. I’d even offer the viewpoint that this model allows for better storytelling overall. Netflix is the future of entertainment — storytelling as a service.” BEN BAJARIN, AUG 9, 2016 In comparison to the bachelor, where the content starts to become repetitive over the drama filed reality show, as no story line is evident. A boring episode will prompt them to watch something else or continue to a different activity. Different to stranger things here episodes flowed seamlessly after one another. Netflix’s ploy to keep episodes running seamlessly urgers binging, “interface starts playing the next episode after only 15 seconds before the closing credits sequence of the previous episode has finished,” (pg 311, JENNER). Similar strategy in which YouTube
““Well, they had a point. You are fat and disgusting!” The therapist announced. Patricia was sobbing, eyes red and nose runny...“Come on… Let’s go. We aren’t putting up with that!” her father...opened the door and ushered the family through. The therapist just observed and no more was heard from him…[Her nervous breakdown] was a result of long term bullying leading to an episode of being run out of school by a gang of boys. They threatened to kill her with a crowbar, sticks and wooden planks. She felt like a hunted fox” (shazwellyn.hubpages.com). No matter how hard a parent might try to help their child, whether they’re being bullied or are the bully, the consequences should not fall on the people who raise them because the victims have to do what they can to make up for what they’ve done or what they’ve suffered. The city of Monona, Wisconsin has proposed a new law that tickets and fines the parents for failing to respond properly to their child’s poor behavior. A behavioral and personal change consulting specialist, Mr. Michael Harmann, hypothesized that bullying behavior is typically an effort to cover up the bully's own vulnerability. It's a primitive mindset that wants to make you pay when you show vulnerability and since bullying mostly occurs under the legal age, that’s enough to say that higher levels of authority don’t have control over the thoughts and actions that bullies use as an outlet for their own pain because it goes against the Constitution. The key to helping the children we feel so sorry for is to heal the bully before he turns into a monster and the only way to help the perpetrator is to make him face his motivation to bully. “If you think about it, a great strategy to avoid being rejected is to reject everyon...

... selection, a classic that people of all ages and genders love. The similarities in interest in this show and many others have led to many Netflix sessions ended shorter than originally planned. The scenario: a guy or girl would invite a partner, or partners (It’s 2016), over to “chill” these people would end up deciding on a show to binge. After a given amount of time bit one thing would lead to another- hence the title of the phenomenon: “Netflix and Chill”. All made possible by the PlayStation 4.
The epic poem, Beowulf, a work of fiction, offers more insight into Ancient Anglo-Saxon English culture than the work of Bede, who wrote, A History of the English Church and People. The epic poem Beowulf gives an enhanced illustration and clearer understanding of the culture of the Ancient Anglo-Saxon’s. The epic poem gives the audience a picture of what the Ancient Anglo-Saxon English valued; seafaring, warriors, heroes, and paganism.
“Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”. From the beginning of time man and nature has been in conflict with one another because, as a whole, there is no cooperating. Each one tirelessly wants its way. The Man is fighting for dominance and nature w never yielding its authority. In American Literature, many authors illustrate this theme in their writing. Specifically the writers Jack London in The Law Of Life, Stephen Crane The Open Boat and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin. Each explores the relationship between humans and nature but with slightly different methods. Mark Twain uses nature in a realistic way, Jack London in a naturalistic way and Stephen Crane constitutes a combination of both.
Hulu offers over 3,000 TV series where Netflix offers 1,197 TV shows. Netflix is streaming service widely used around the world, But could there be something better. Hulu also is a streaming service like Netflix but Hulu is the better streaming service due to that they do have better prices, update shows faster and have a wide variety of content. But stream shows from online was always not a popular thing as it is now. Over the recent years cord cutting has been a big thing to do as it is cheaper and you do not pay the equivalent to a cable or satellite bill.
Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.
Every person has wondered about something - whether it be a person, place, thing, law, or anything that someone can think about. They ask questions both rhetorical and actual to themselves, and usually make it a mission to answer these questions. Some of the biggest questions have something to do with culture and religion. One of the most major questions of all time - to what extent does an individual have control over the outcome of his or her life? There are many different opinions on this topic.
Fox News has always been the number one news source for US citizens. However after numerous incidents which I will elaborate now, your credibility has become poor. Firstly I want to discuss the intimidating of guest speakers on your open debates and interviews, if I remember correctly back in 2003 on the O’Reilly show. Mr Jeremy Glick was invited for an interview on why he signed a petition revolting against the Iraqi war. Mr O’Reilly proceeded to call Mr Glick uninformed and even threatened him to “Shut up.”
Every day, more and more attempts of banning books and taking away the rights of our First Amendment get violated. The challenging of a book is the attempt to remove or restrict materials, and the banning is the removal of these materials. I believe that books should not be banned for these reasons.
Binge watching: “viewing multiple episodes of a television program in rapid succession”, is a phenomenon that television enthusiasts have embraced with the introduction of new technologies like SVOD, streaming video on demand, television consumption platforms unique to the digital age (“binge-watch,” def. 1). Services that offer SVOD such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are even encouraging binge watching through their marketing practices and content creation (Greenberg). So why is binge watching, or rather binge viewing, an activity that people are participating in under the false assumption that it is a socially unacceptable guilty pleasure; an indulgence, just as eating an exorbitant amount of high-calorie foods is.
Television has become a popular entertainment for all people of all ages. Television was introduced first in the late nineteenth century and twentieth century. The inventors of the television wanted to bring changes through visual communications technology. While watching TV, it has given me an opportunity to analyze the different genres of television shows. Certain shows have good plots and characters, but not every show is so captivating. Comedy, action, and horror are the most entertaining genres of television shows, but the most compelling ones are horror television shows; they make your heart pound in fear.
What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.
January 3, 2017 - Believe it or not, TV on Tuesday is almost back to normal. Viewers are set to get new episodes and after a long day at work, there will be few disappointments. The reruns fans endured last week (and the week before) are gone.

If you ask me (nobody did, but I am telling you anyway) these two shows are going to be intense this season.
