1) Abstract:
The article evaluates the history and recurrence of film violence. The
author believes that film violence represents cinematic standards and
cultural values regarding the use of force or aggression, and the place
and meaning of cinema in a society. Narrative norms in cinema create
ideological and formal framework for destruction and death. An
aesthetic and social contrast between audiences and filmmakers is
represented by film genres. However, the U.S. film industry continues
to make movies that produce different forms of violence challenging
the values and norms of viewers and mainstream culture.

Opinion. Presents the author's view about Black women's role
in movies to music videos. How images of violence and innihilation
have become the most prevalent depiction of AfricanAmerican women in music videos.
4) Abstract:
The article presents information on a study which explores how
young women make interpretations about the implicit portion of an
implicit sex act portrayed in an R-rated movie clip. Content analyses
suggest that television and movie viewers are exposed to numerous
sexual portrayals without references to safer sexual practices and/or
possible negative consequences. Thus, this study investigates how
viewers interpret these portrayals. The inquiry of viewer interpretation
is particularly important for sexual content because most sex acts
portrayed on television are implicit rather than explicit. Also, this study
explores the interpretations of implicit sexual portrayals for a group of
young women. Surveys show that teenagers generally say they get

Abstract:
The author discusses issues facing U.S. women in the 21st century,
and describes the conflict between old-fashioned expectations
for women's role versus modern values of women's independence.
Topics such as women in the workplace and in the media are
discussed, as well as biological differences between men and women.
Social structures, women's attitudes, and gender inequality are also
mentioned, and the author argues against striving for unattainable
perfection.

Abstract:
The present study aimed to investigate the role of social comparison
processing in women's responses to thin idealized images. In
particular, it was predicted that comparison with the images on the
basis of appearance would lead to more negative outcomes than
comparison on the basis of intelligence. A sample of
114 women viewed fashion magazine advertisements featuring thin
and attractive models under one of three instructional set conditions:
control, appearance comparison, and intelligence comparison
instructions. We found that both comparison instructional set
