About Television In American Society Reference
Focused on a popular topic, this exciting collection gives students and teachers substantial material for discussion and research. The three-volume set shows how television has reflected and influenced American society and culture throughout its history, covering both positive and negative effects. Accessible and interesting as well as informative, this Library includes more than 180 interesting illustrations and sidebars, clear prose, and ideas for activities, research and further reading. A subject index, chronology and words-to-know section are among the many other features supporting student achievement. The Primary Sources presents fifteen full or excerpted documents relating to the development and impact of television. These documents range from notable speeches that mark important points in TV history to critical analyses of televisions influence on American culture. The documents are arranged chronologically, beginning with longtime RCA chairman David Sarnoffs 1936 remarks to the press at his companys first demonstration of television technology, and ending with former vice president Al Gores 2005 speech about the effects of television on democracy.
