Scandals running rampant. In the 1920’s Hollywood was running ramped. The news media loved they found so many scandals that this was the main news for years. One actor was in some senses of the word sacrificed to this. Phatty arbuckle was a beloved actor who lost everything due to some legal trouble.

The actors were not the only ones under fire. The movies themselves were being attacked so much so that a fund to see what the impacts of movies were on children. Even though Chicago refused to do so because it was a biased search but one nonetheless. This created a production code that would change the rules of Hollywood forever.One actor that was destroyed due to these new restrictions was an actress called Vamp. Many of her movies were rated harshly and really hurt her career. Even after these scandals los Angeles grew eight times its size.

One thing that I am going to argue help people try to make the argument that movies influence people. The effectiveness of actress and actors selling war bonds. They were very effective in getting individuals to buy into them in order to help with the First World War. Overall about 20 billion dollars in war bonds were sold overall. A large portion of this can be contributed to the actors selling these bonds.

We have no evidence that people are more violent due to watching violence on TV or playing video games. We do have evidence that the news can have an impact on how people see the world. Even though crime rates have been declining since the 1970’s people in the United States thinks that the world is more dangerous than in the past. This is strange because many people don’t believe that movies have an impact on how people act but the news does. This is part of agenda setting. The news puts up these topics in order to get more ratings and it makes things seem differently than the way things truly are.

In society we are ruled by the idea of mob mentality and higher powers. In the years after WWII people had no idea how the Nazi soldiers were able to go through with the terrible acts they did. So people went to test this. In one study that was done people were to shock people for getting wrong answers. They would do this even after they believed someone died because they were told to.
