1st Day of Class
Today was a pretty interesting class day. I immediately thought of my undergrad English Class because we had a whole section on how the media minipulates people and how it is structed. I remember we reviewed how certain commercials play at certain times during certain shows and how these commercials are tailored to target certain populations. For example, on MTV you will find a number of products advertised to attract young viewers, such as the notorious AXE colonge commercial. That one always makes me laugh! I also recall learning that in order for individuals to remember something, they must hear a phrase/word a given number of times. Commericals take full advantage of this during their 30 seconds of fame. Media plays such a big role in our lives and sometimes we don't even notice it. Well, I don't know if I'm doing this correctly or not, but I guess it is a start. Goodnight!
