Abstract
This paper analyzes the V-Chip technology from a public policy point of view, with focus on its impact on juvenile crime. The paper opens by describing how juvenile crime is on the rise and how many feel there is a link between television violence and juvenile crime. The author then discusses how and why the V-Chip was developed as part of a public policy allowing parents to control access to television programs by their children. The paper then shifts to an evaluation of the technology, why it hasn't been successful, and why it's not a good public policy to be mandated by the government. The author closes by offering some suggestions as to how juvenile crime can be reduced by treating the underlying causes.

"Television made it possible for images to be beamed simultaneously around the globe, and as the technology moved from black-and-white to color, they increased in intensity and immediacy. War, political strife and cultural influences were transmitted throughout the world and into people's living rooms. The last major innovation might be said to be the introduction of color television sets and color broadcasting which took place in the ...s. There have been innovations since that time, including wide-screen televisions, but the..."

Abstract
This paper examines one of the most controversial steps in curtailing violence on television, the V chip. It discusses whether or not V chip technology provides a good way of reducing the exposure of children and teens to violence on television. The first part of the paper describes how V chip technology works, which is by blocking out graphic violence and language on television. The paper then explores the opposition to V Chip legislation and technology, both from a liberal and a conservative standpoint. In the conclusion, the paper addresses the various concerns that opponents have raised against V chip legislation. It states that, although the V chip is not a cure-all, it provides an effective step in reducing the exposure of children and minors to violence on television.
From the Paper
"In 1996, then President Bill Clinton signed into law a requirement that all new television sets should be equipped with the V chip. This silicone wafer would allow viewers to block programs deemed explicit or offensive simply by punching a key into their remote control pads (Rolfe). This would allow parents to regulate programs based on content, particularly violence, sex and profanity. In its evaluation of almost 10,000 hours of broadcast programming from 1995 to 1997, the National Television Violence Study found that 61 percent of television programs portrayed acts of violence. Most of this violence was glamorized, committed by characters that are otherwise presented as positive role models. While many of the violent acts that would cause serious harm or death in real life, the programs neutralize these lethal effects through the lack of painful effects or through humor (Center for Communication and Social Policy 8)."

Abstract
The paper outlines how "The Gender Chip Project" focuses on the experiences of five female students pursuing degrees in traditionally male-dominated fields of science, math, engineering and technology. The paper describes the hardships and challenges these five women encounter and relates the statistics about women in these fields of study.
From the Paper
"Anna Han is a mathematics and psychology major at Ohio State University and points out that during her childhood, there were Barbie dolls that exclaimed ''Math Is Hard'' and recalls that her ninth-grade math teacher advised her to consider a career in math, but at the time, she was very reluctant about taking his suggestion seriously. Anna, like most girls, had been culturally conditioned that she could never do math and the only reason she was fabulous at it in school was because she needed to earn excellent grades in all of her classes. However, with more people complimenting her mathematical skills and suggesting that she pursue a career in math, Anna began to consider their suggestions seriously and then decided to major in mathematics."

Abstract
The paper asserts that the article is radical because it suggests that CHIP, as well as any program targeted at assisting children with health care, will be inadequate unless there are major changes directed at the delivery of health care in the United States. The paper discusses how these changes include the methods that are used to deliver care, training of health care professionals and equality of treatment, regardless of socioeconomic status. The paper then explains that because CHIP calls for consistent changes in health care to meet the needs of American children, the proposed alterations would mean changes in education and the entire healthcare system. Furthermore, the paper relates that in order for these massive changes to occur, the United States government would most likely have to force those changes through legislative action that was supported by the American people.

Abstract
This paper discusses the problem of children being exposed on television to massive amounts of violence, sex, drugs, adult language and inappropriate ideas. The author points out that self-policing by the entertainment industry and software locks on set-top boxes have yielded very few results. The paper examines the origin of the v-chip that physically prevents viewing, its role in the popular culture, the technology, and why it has not been successful. The author concludes that, unless a v-chip can be made that operates on some sort of personal or biometric recognition system, children will continue to act out what they see on television to the detriment of themselves and society. Personal policing is the only reliable course of action.

From the Paper
"Ratings, however, are simply not an effective deterrent. The determined child can simply keep his eyes open and watch as people kill each other on the screen. Ratings do not prevent actual viewing and it is viewing violence that creates violence. Therefore, the only course of action remaining, apparently, is to actually prevent children from watching particularly violent television shows. There are two basic ways to accomplish this that the broadcasting industry has agreed to participate in. First there is the "windowing" of television."
