Hip hop #1

- When I hear a rap song, I pay more attention to the beat than to the lyrics.
I believe that its with anyone that when a song comes on that we really dont pay attention to the lyrics, along with the beat we move and sway our hips but then realizing that the more we listen to it the more we become familiarized with the lyrics, which would turn alot people off. The quote that supports this is "It's only-at the end of the day, it's only entertainment". I support this quote because so many people get offended easily but they also need to realize that just like we go to school or work we do our job so does the artist, its their job to produce smashing records at any cost.

Movie comparisions

The two movies we watched was very insightful. The one with the womens point of view really had me look at ads different, with the way it showed even little girls with their hands over their mouth. Also solgans like "it wasnt my personality he was digging" in reference to the sell of jeans .It kind of made me feel offended because as a female sometimes if we like how the jeans fit we buy them we dont neccessarily pay attention to the slogan which from now on i will. Or just like for an example society has women thinking their body is not up to par with how its suppose to look, like having a big bust,hippy and a slim waistline. The same can be applied to men, where as they have to have big muscles and strong. If a guy was to step outside of the model figure for men and look different then society wouldnt really accept it. Whether it was women being slienced in ad's by means of mouth covering or under the impression shes dead, to thin or rather guys with their big muscles playin the tough role, to me its just crazy because those are things men and women just cant live up to. I feel like if society can accept us for who we are instead of who we pretend to be then forget them we shouldnt compromise or values just to satisfy them.

superbowl advertisements

Superbowl Advertisements

When superbowl comes around there is no doubt in anyone mind about watching it, during this time it also gives advertisers an opportunity to sell their product through funny gut-busting commercials. Some people I know for a fact only watches the superbowl for the commercials. Advertisers knows exactly how to catch their audience because if the commerical is good enough it would have the consumer wanting and eventually buying the product.

key concepts

Concept 1 :All media messages are constructed.

I have learned alot about this concept. Many advertisers use it as a gimmick to selling their product. For example: Proactive they use Jessica Simpson saying"that you will be successful as her upon using this product", when you look deeper into that statement it could mean a variety of things like for instance, it could mean you can have a successful career or that you may have successful results. So with that being said, the next time you buy a product or see it on tv ask yourself these questions, "How will this product benefit me?" ,"Am I getting this product because i have seen the results for someone else and want to see if its the same outcome for me?", "Or do i really need this product?"
