This article is about how crime television has impacted people of color in realistic environmental settings. Topics discussed include the increase of race issues in mass media due to the recent exposure in recent television series. Stereotypical crimes are committed by the same ethnicity in mainstream media, which begins to form a bad stereotype in real life about people of that race or ethnicity. Blacks males have been put in the center of this criminal personality, making them the ultimate robbers, murders, or gang bangers. On the other hand, white men are often the heroes and lifesavers of the scenario. The article states how the ratios of time each a black male is represented as a criminal is in incorrect in correlation to real statistics.

This article is about how mental illnesses are being portrayed in the eyes of popular television crime series. Topics discussed include the labeling of mental illnesses and how the stereotypes attached to the mental illnesses affect how society mistreats them. People affected by a mental illness in television crime are always presented as unstable and unable to care for themselves. For this reason, they are easily slipped into the criminal character. As television creates these stereotypes for mentally ill people, viewers believe the personalities to be real and begin to mistreat them in real life. The majority of those diagnosed with a mental illness live a normal life and become well-adjusted into their environment.

This article is about how society views the juvenile justice system and those who have been in it, due to the misconceptions presented in television. Topics discussed include the misconceptions viewers may form when watching television based on the amount of time they watch crime shows. Those who watched more television placed more emphasis on the juvenile crime stereotypes than those who watched little to no television. The television we watch slowly begins to intervene with how we view the real life and our judgement becomes misplaced with fictional scenarios.  Later, we place these fictional scenarios and begin to act upon those instinctive feelings when put into a similar place.

Annotated Bibliography

Booker, M. Keith. Alternative Americas: Science Fiction Film and American Culture. Westport, Connecticut: Praeger. 2006. Electronic book.

            The author devotes a chapter to Star Wars, giving a brief synopsis of the first movie as well as the political environment in the United States during that time. In addition, Booker also highlights how Ronald Reagan, as president of the United States, utilized Star Wars lingo to describe the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The author proposes that Star Wars is not merely a book about good versus evil, but is really about what it is to be human. This book provides research to support my topic about how science fiction influences people socially as well as morally.

Decker, Kevin S. and Jason T. Eberl. Star Wars and Philosophy. Chicago, Illinois: Open Court. 2011. Print.

            This book discusses how the Star Wars universe can showcase philosophical questions and answers. It takes the ideas from philosophers such as Aquinas or Augustine and compares their ideas on life with the plot from Star Wars. By taking the Star Wars world at face value, the author is demonstrating how the characters grapple with the same moral dilemmas as real people. The author also delves into the characters of the movies to show how they are appealing to a mass audience. This will help in my research to provide support for the moral and ethical impact of Star Wars as a movie that people live by.

Galipeau, Steven A. The Journey of Luke Skywalker An Analysis of Modern Myth and Symbol. La Salle, Illinois: Open Court. 2001. Print.

            The author analyzes Luke Skywalker as a cultural icon that appears in his dreams and in society’s collective dream. Galipeau analyzes the psychological aspects of Luke Skywalker’s story as mythology and symbolic meaning. He breaks down the reasons for why the Star Wars saga was an important story for his generation and for the current one, which I am a part of. Galipeau also analyzes the symbolic meaning in the movie action that Luke Skywalker experiences and relates them to power, religion, and politics. This book supports how Star Wars tells the story of Luke Skywalker as a coming of age story, but also as a saga about life and choices. This parallels real life and how people have taken cues of how to behave and act from the movies.

Thompson, Derek. Hit Makers The Science of Popularity in an Age of Distraction. New York: Penguin Press. 2017. Print.

            This book is a compilation of popular culture icons from the last century and includes Star Wars. The influences that affected George Lucas as the creator of Star Wars are highlighted in one chapter of this book. The background information of what Lucas experienced and the time period in which he grew up are also discussed. The chapter in this book also gives information of possible influences to the Star Wars saga by Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa. This book supports my research because it gives a historical viewpoint of the time George Lucas wrote Star Wars. Though the story reflects the time it was written it, the author concedes that Lucas had many influences that helped make the story inclusive and far-reaching.
