  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Adaptation is often recognized in purely furtuitous effects, and natural selection is invoked to resolve problems that do not exist (Williams, 1966:4). The adaptation process takes place under natural selection, where an organism becomes better suited to its habitat. Also, the term may refer to some characteristics which stand out as being especially significant in the organism's survival. Adaptations develop as the result of natural selection operating on random genetic variations that are capable of being passed from one generation to the next. Variations that prove advantageous will tend to spread throughout the population. Human beings are biologically adapted for culture in ways that other primates are not, as evidenced most clearly by the fact that only human cultural traditions accumulate modifications over historical time. The key adaptation is one that enables individuals to understand other individuals as intentional agents like the self. This species-unique form of social cognition emerges in human ontogeny at approximately 1 year of age, as infants begin to engage with other persons in various kinds of joint attention activities involving gaze following, social referencing, and gestural communication. Young children’s joint attention skills then engender some uniquely powerful forms of cultural 1 2 learning, enabling the acquisition of language, discourse skills, tool-use practices, and other conventional activities. These forms of cultural learning allow human beings to, in effect, pool their cognitive resources both contemporaneously and over historical time in ways that are unique in the animal kingdom. Adaptation in this movie is appeared by the director Ryan Murphy, the reasons why he appeared little about adaptation maybe the story of this movie was real story in Ryan Murphy’s life.

I am blessed to have amazing faculty whom I admire and respect on my committee. My mentor, Toby Miller, has been with me since the inception of this project and has never failed in challenging me to expand my intellectual horizons and to sharpen my critical thinking skills. Ellen Reese, Scott Coltrane, and Scott Brooks have equally been significant figures throughout the various phases of my academic career. I would be remiss not to mention Karen Pyke and Jane Ward. Collectively, they have offered me invaluable wisdom, advice, and encouragement. I also wish to express gratitude to my meticulous research assistants, Allie Green, Alan Truong, and Angela Wagner, for transcribing the bulk of my interviews. In addition, I clocked in a lot of hours at my two local coffee shops on Ocean Park Boulevard and on Colorado Avenue (“my virtual mobile offices”). I have probably spent more face time with the baristas there than anyone else while I have been dissertating. I thank all of them, especially Alex, Bastian, and Steven.

Journal of Media and Religion is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com. DOI: 10.1080/15348423.2011.572440 This is an electronic version of an article published in Journal of Media & Religion, Volume 10, Issue 2, 91-112. Journal of Media & Religion is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com. DOI: 10.1080/15348423.2011.572440 Bombing at the Box Office: Reviewers’ Responses to Agnosticism in Bill Maher’s Religulous Rick Clifton Moore Boise State University Abstract This paper examines reviewers’ reactions to Bill Maher’s documentary film Religulous as a way of beginning a discussion of media and religious hegemony. Hegemony theory posits that dominant ideology typically trumps contesting views, even when the latter do manage to leak through the system. Given this, one might expect that film reviewers serve as a second line of defense for entrenched worldviews. Here, however, a thematic analysis of reviews from major national newspapers reveals that critics provided only slight support to traditional religious views Maher challenges in his filmic plea for agnosticism. There is in the world of comedy a plot structure that has traditionally been referred to with the non-inclusive label, “Character gets hoisted with his own petard.” Most of us can envision this element by remembering the classic Warner Brothers Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons.
