The naked truth

Article Abstract:

The reality television genre has become hugely popular with television companies and viewers alike, but both critics and psychologists are scathing about this new media trend. Critics claim that this type of television encourages viewers to be voyeuristic, shameless, sociopathic, and violent, but they may be underestimating the intelligence and knowledge of television viewers.

Mother load

Article Abstract:

Although mothers with families are the most valued customers in Australian supermarkets, modern supermarket designs do not take these customers into consideration or offer special facilities to ease the discomfort of shopping with small children. The voices of these caregivers tend to be ignored, and advertisers and politicians deal with them in a patronising manner.
