  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

  • Genetics, Bioethics and Space Travel: GATTACA
    Regulars Cyberbiochemist Genetics, Bioethics and Space Travel: GATTACA Clare Sansom (Birbeck College, London, UK) It has been said that all stories set in the future say more about the concerns of the time in which they are Downloaded from http://portlandpress.com/biochemist/article-pdf/34/6/34/3328/bio034060034.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 written than they do about future possibilities. Long before the genome era, writers were investigating the possibility of changing the biological make-up of humans. Questions about human biology, identity and eugenics (from the Greek ‘well-born’) have been raised by writers ever since Plato; classic novels addressing these issues include H.G. Wells’s The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896) and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1931). Eugenics in fiction passed out of fashion after the Second World War, but recent developments in genetics and genomics have brought these ideas into the foreground again. The science fiction film GATTACA was released in 1997, astronaut. He studies and trains hard despite knowing that, only 2 years after the publication of the first bacterial thanks to his genetic identity, he has zero chance of success: genome sequence. The story it tells is therefore one of the “The only way you’ll see the inside of a spaceship will be first fictional explorations of these issues in the genome if you’re cleaning it”, says his father, dispassionately. It is era. For this Christmas edition of The Biochemist, your almost impossible for him to escape the genetic identity that Cyberbiochemist editor is turning film critic to confirms him as a member of the underclass, as his profile discuss it.

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION in This Chapter the Writer Presents The
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION In this chapter the writer presents the discussion on the background of the study, the research questions, the definitions of key terms, the objectives of the study, the significances of the study, and the organization of the thesis. A. Background of the Study The study of these signs, codes and conventions in film is called semiotics or semiotic analysis. Semiotic analysis is a way to explain how an audience makes meaning from codes. Peirce in Manoon de Reeper (1997: 20). American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce (1839). He wrote that a sign “is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity”. Zeman (1977: 24). All meaning is encoded in that which creates the meaning. No object or word is without meaning one cannot read or see something without associating it to a certain idea. Everyone has been taught how to decode what they see, read and hear. We have all learned to decode meaning. It is how we make sense of our surroundings, essentially, of the world. Semiotic analysis is used to “read” a film and its text. It’s mostly used in academic study of film. Peirce proposes several typologies and definitions of the signs. More than 76 definitions of what a sign is have been collected throughout Peirce's work. Some canonical typologies can nonetheless be observed, one crucial one being the distinction between "iconix", "indexical" and "symbolic". The icon, 1 2 index and symbol sign typology is chronologically the first but structurally the second of three that fit together as a trio of three-valued parameters in regular scheme of nine kinds of sign.

  • GATTACA Written and Directed by Andrew Niccol ABOUT THE
    Article on Gattaca by Mark Freeman Area of Study 1 & 2 Theme: Future worlds GATTACA Written and directed by Andrew Niccol Article by Mark Freeman ABOUT THE DIRECTOR Andrew Niccol, a screenwriter and director, was born in New Zealand and moved to England at the age of 21 to direct commercials. He has written and directed Gattaca, Simone and Lord of War as well as earning an Academy Award nomination for his screenplay for The Truman Show. OVERVIEW In recent years, scientific research has unearthed a greater understanding of our genetic make-up – the lottery that determines our appearance and physical capabilities. The means by which we inherit specific traits from our parents, our genes are like a blueprint of our future, determining our predisposition for specific talents or particular illnesses. Concurrent with this understanding of genetics have come successful attempts in cloning, and, more recently, the ethical debate over stem cell research to combat a range of physical maladies. Identification and eradication of rogue genes (those that could ultimately cause malfunction at birth or later in a person’s life) is a very real possibility with the developing exploration in genetic research. In your own DNA, you already carry the genetic code which will cause your physical development in your teens, your predisposition to weight gain in your twenties, your hair loss in your thirties, early menopause in your forties, the arthritis you develop in your fifties, your death from cancer in your seventies. It’s an imposing thought to consider the map of our histories, our futures, in terms of our genetic code.
