essay draft 3 marginal messages

In class by watching many movies with marginal messages we see how these are still messages that may contradict each other or the main messages. like in "fox fire" it show to fight the system but it also shows to obey the system because the system can put you down. in "pump up the volume" the kid says that it's ok to be weird but is everyone is weird then everyone is normal, also when his parents were talking his dad was a rebellious teenager but became the system and in the background was the tv saying that we as people should fight the system when we are young

essay draft 2

Humans in this world want to live a meaningful/meaningless life, everyone thinks differently about their life and wants to live it their way of what they think is right. In Andy’s class we define a meaningful life as what you define yourself or what others define it as. Everyone thinks that their life is in their control but no one sees that they are in the small influence of the culture around them. Most people’s perspective of a goof life is mainly on family ad friends. By looking at how we are influenced in our lives we can see the true meaning that is portrayed to use through biased media. Through out the class we notice what is meaningful in our lives and connected it with others. Then we looks at others view through interview and connected them together. By looking at that we can tie it all back to our culture and how each person is affected in the same way and how no one has control of their life.
To analysis our lives each person in our class made a video of what we think is meaningful in 2-5mins. Before this project I though that the only thing in my life that is meaningful is my memories but there were good and bad memories in my life but each one is meaningful in their own different way. After taking some time to think about it I dragged out the most important things in my memories. Which were family, friends, arts and nature. Spending time to think about how i portrayed them and how to show my video was a hard process. By capturing most of my life i was able to see how somethings i have done was in every one's videos and shows how we are not different from each other. Even though i was missing a lot of my hobbies in my current life still showing the general stuff shows the world my perspective.
Through out our lives we are not really thinking freely but we think we are, because of our mass controlling media like in music and films they show how in our lives we need to become this. In our class we watched music videos that show to be successful in life is good and to accomplish your dream is also a big message placed out there like in "the good life". In "best in show"it show how we should spend money on things we don't need like therapy that shows how people has the answers but it them who "suppose" to help you find it but it's just a waste of money. Also looking at "lip gloss" the music video it shows how no one sees the real you just the out side version and not what you are really thinking. looking at all these dominate messages show how our lives a messed up and we have no power of what we think is right or wrong.

Dominant Corporate Messages Analysis

Through out our study of corporate culture i have seen that many mass medias or corporations want to make the reader/watcher buy something from them, and to advertise themselves for a profit. In many places there are advertisements all around and they are telling the stuff that we need in our lives to make out lives meaningful or telling what will make our live meaningless. In the New York Times they have many car advertisements and many exotic food advertisements, so it shows that a good and meaningful life is to have many cars and eat a lot of great making food.
In the movies that we watched in class it shows that we need to spend useless money on things that will help us feel better about ourselves because we are too brain washed to find it ourselves. In Foxfire it shows a marginal message to be rebellious or teenagers are rebellious. "fight the system" is what people say but those people are the corporate media themselves.
By watching many music videos and listening to many different types of music some says to but many tings and be successful but other says that to fight the system is good. they all portray different meanings to have a good life but they are all coming from the mas media and then it is to show marginal messages or main messages but non of the excluded messages.

Trampled Wal-Mart worker

I this world i see that humans have learned to live that "the strongest stay on top" and "the best things in life is free". This shows have people live very dirty lives and has been corrupted to get whatever they want. the people at walmart cannot be blamed because of their rash behavior because its walmarts fault for hosting this big sale and going a lot with the production just to get a big "profit". By advertising weeks ahead walmart will get a lot of businese but by taping into the dumb minds of to days people they let many people get hurt and many more angry because of what happened. I still don't know why the media stays "including a 8month old pregnant woman" to put pity on walmart and blame the people? things are going bad in the world and it because of our rash actions of today so its every ones fought for this man dieing there on black Friday weekend.

Thankisgiving and Black Friday Weekend

Thanksgiving
Over Thanksgiving my family doesn't really celebrate the tradition Catholic way we just have a family gathering. There was no topic of genocide in the room because it was a blocked message and not many of my family knew about it when i asked them. They aren't really defensive about it because they don't really know what happened to change their view of America even though we all can see the corruption in the mas media.
The mas media just wanted to show the funny and happy things to celebrate Thanksgiving and noting sad and depressing. I feel that this is not a real topic to bring up about genocide because i don't believe in a God but i still don't get why people worship something that no one have ever seen besides in their dream which we can never know if it is true or not. So God "saved us" as people said but how do we really know he did then all this second part of Thanksgiving is just a myth and may not be true to worship someone who may not have lift a finger because he is not real.

Black Friday
I went to the Black Friday sale over the weekend and i saw a lot of messages that people what things handed to them and things that are almost "free". everything is cheaper and things are almost "free". That's what the media has been selling to us for years. At staples there was no one in line when my family arrive but when the other family saw my family coming they rushed to be first and it show how America is like dogs trying to race each other as a completion every day.
