Extra Credit Blog Post

I have not used an blog before my RTF class.

One positive aspect was applying outside information and prior knowledge to concepts we learned in the course.

I was not always sure what was expected in the blog, although the prompt was clear I thought I did the work that was necessary and would sometimes be confused as to why I didn’t receive full credit.

When I had problems I would look for Keara’s (my TA’s) comments and use concepts we discussed in our section fro the blog.  In addition if I did not understand something I would ask one of the many people in the class.

I enjoyed the blog prompt in which we used a movie that we knew really well and were suppose to apply in to the narrative structure. I thought this was interesting because it helped me fully understand the application of narrative structure.

Yes, I thought it was a great way to apply new forms of technology with homework in the classroom and I would recommend using it for future classes.

I really liked at the beginning when the structure of each blog post was clearly stated and I think it should be added to all blog-post in the future.

Go Global!

Globalization is spreading across similar values, expectations, images (etc.) between countries breaking down differences and unique features in cultures.

By infiltrating local customs and cultures a western “cultural imperialism” spreads western ideals and standard altering other cultures.

This can be seen with international hit-tv shows such as “Sex and the City.”  The sexual exploits of women in the big city makes their lifestyle of materialism seem fabulous and an ideal way women should live.  This is much different value system than some country’s more conservative cultures, however by globally marketing this show the western standard of sex and feminism is infiltrated into other cultures.

Celebrities in Advertisements

In this ad the very beautiful Dannika Patrick is shown holding a glass of milk with a milk mustache, with the wind blowing in her hair the milk seems to give her power.

  The overdone make up and black leather jacket lead the audience to see the sexual appeal of her astethics. Not only does this advertisement use the celebrity appeal, it also uses sex appeal, the combination of both makes the milk seem like if one drinks it they will become as cool as Dannika.

By using a celebrity advertisers draw in a wider audience who looks up to the celebrity and wants to be more like them or drink more milk like them.
