All American - Tv Show

- Free Choice -

Last week, I got to watch an episode of one of my favorite Tv shows,  All American. I think how it's interesting and catches my attention is how it is based on a true story and that it displays real life scenarios. I feel like in every episode they were displaying a problem people could relate to, but at the end they also showed a solution to these problems. So far, I think the overall message in this show so far is that through tough times, family and friends will always be there for you which also represents loyalty. Throughout the show, a few stereotypes were being displayed. For example, a rich community versus a poorer community, peoples social status, and at times the color of peoples skin. For the majority of the show, it was based on a character who came from a poor community and transferred to a rich community as a student athlete and portrays the many difficulties he runs into throughout his life. I feel like people that cannot relate or understand the difficulties and struggles in life that are being portrayed will have a hard time understanding the given message in this show.

Miss Representation

In Miss Representation, it talked about how women or girls see certain things on social media and that they begin to feel the pressure towards them to meet mens ideals. Also, seeing that there's a certain way women should look like or there's a such thing of a perfect women, girls that don't dress how women should look like, they are seen as different. Because of this, they feel forced to put so much time and effort in themselves to look nice just so they can fit in with anyone else. I feel like I can connect to this because many times in my life, I know how it feels to "look" different because of how I dress. I also can relate to this because I was not happy with how I looked like and I tried so hard to look nice everyday just so I don't get made fun of or I could at least look decent looking. To this day, I sometimes catch myself trying hard to look nice so I can be noticed by others and I feel like I do this because I don't want to feel like people are

Current Relationship with Media

Introduction - My Relationship with Media Currently, my relationship with media plays a huge part in my life and for a majority of people as well. I mostly use media to entertain myself. Whenever I get bored, I tend to go on my phone and watch videos for hours. For example, one time I was doing the list of chores my mother gave me, but I got really bored of it so I ended up going on Instagram. When I checked the time, hours went by and it was getting late, my parents were soon going to be home, and I haven't finished any of the chores I was supposed to do. Besides using media when I'm bored, I also use media as a useful source, especially when it has to do with school. I use media to help do research and whenever I feel stuck on a project or on a homework assignment, media is a way I try to communicate with others. Other times, I would use media as a way to help me mentally and physically. Whenever something was bugging me I usually distance myself from others and listen

Universal Studios and Love Marks

Image
While watching this commercial about Universal Studios, we could see how spending time with family, having fun with our loved ones, and experiencing things we are missing out from were being portrayed throughout the entire message of this commercial. Because love, affect, and fun were being depicted we could clearly see how that is Universal Studios love mark and it fits the meaning of love marks, loyalty beyond reason. In the commercial it shows a family and it also displays many scenes of the rides "coming to life" to give a more exciting and adventurous feeling or emotion when we watch this commercial to make us have the urge to go and see what was being portrayed in the commercial in real life. When in reality, it might not be exactly what kids or even parents have expected on these commercials. These love marks make people connect in some type of way in order for companies to "lure" us into what they are trying to achieve in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O
