Law And Order?

Last week in class, it was brought up that Law and Order has many cases that deal with Freudian theories. I have watched many of the Law and Order's shows and never once did it cross my mind to think more about the situation and see what the producers might have wanted to secretly hide, or portray through their shows. It all goes back to that mentality that men should always be in control of women, and if for some reason women gain too much power.. well then she goes out of control. Who knew some much could be found in a crime scene show. It really makes me think more about everything around me. Now when I watch television hows, I try to look at everything in the background of a scene, because "everything is put there for a reason" as Sarah Worely reminds me in my Message Analysis class. I am very glad that my classes go together really well, because it makes me see ads, and television shows, and articles in different perspectives that I would have been oblivious to beforehand. Back to the Law and Order show, there have been cases such as two girls who work together to kill the popular girl in their grade. They did this for many reasons, one being that the girl had too much power, and the other girls didn't like it. The "alpha girl" had too much power, was richer, and got anything she wanted, which isn't good, so she had to be stopped. And so the other two girls took over and "took care of the problem" by killing this girl. Because these girls wanted the power, they got psychotic and did crazy things. Or another example is a woman rapist who has too much power, and because of this power, she isn't the typical woman who is a mother, but one who is crazy, doing horrible stuff. I find it very fun to analyze ads or television shows now, because I know more of what to look for. Although, at the same time, this does mean that I tend to not pay attention to the actual movie and annoy my friends with pointing out things, ruining the movie for them. But I am glad I can look at these things and not get sucked in as much as I would have if I didn't know these things.
