By taking questions from others and from my group, i see how finding the life syles of old people are harder and more opionated then medical and social interactions. By looking at all the different answers, some might be wrong or right depending on where to look, like if it is only in a small study, or in a certian area. Old folks are very generalized in this society and many people want to change them by making them "feel" younger and making them change their life syles or their minds.

Paragraph of what i think about old folks:

Through my perception i think old folks are different in many ways to each other and to the newer working generation. I feel that old folks are posed as smelly, cranky, and annoying of how they talk about the old days, but old people are more than that, even though some might be. Some old people want to be alone because they have noting to live for and they are old what they never really wanted to reach in their lives. some old folks are very caring and try to make the best of their lives by teaching other about what they went though. Some old folks try and adapt to the new "in" while others try and change that "in" and bring back the "old". Old folks interact with others in different ways but never always the same, it could be with other old folks, people in their neighborhood or the common place where they do, event heir family frequently show how old folks interact with others. Old folks have different perspectives in life but not just one in my eyes.

Folk Culture's Messages on the Good and Meaningful Life - Online advice from regular folks

folk messages
there are many different folk messages in life and how they are portrayed in the Internet, Andy showed us the different messages that we see like how to be the "perfect" boy friend or girlfriend, or how to do this in your life so you don't fail. Different things come from the different people around us like how to get "good" grades in school, things that others see as important and plants it in to our mind like its a necessity of life.

i looked at two videos, on YouTube and there were contradictory messages helps some messages also, one video showed how to cheat on your exam and it was telling you to get good grades in school but not to work hard so there are some folk messages people are sending out that go against the main fold messages and is more marginal.

there were also a couple other videos that show message to people in their average life giving thoughts about how to do this but only in a certain way and not in any other way. this shows how people are trying to tell you how to live your life in steps and how to do something good and not take the bad route.

Inauguration Day

In Obama's speech today shows how much he thinks we can change in America and how we can mark history with a new beginning. Many people waited for this moment in time, and many though it wouldn't happen in this life time, but this new hope is not going through the layers of walls built of dominate corporate and folk messages that goes against what he is trying to prove. By telling people that "WE" will fix these problems at the end and he will follow through on his plans shows how much America will depend on him to fix these messages. He talked about slavery of all the different non white cultures, and how they were put in slavery to earn easy money, and now how we as people have changed and we as America has changed to fit a better nation.
He is giving us a message that we as a "world" or as the human race can join together and fix this problem. He is building up the hopes and will of many to fuel his plan and is manipulating their emotions to get his "ideas" going. To tell people this is the land of the free and we can do anything if we work together. How many others before him tried use this same method and shape others mind to fit the leaders views.
The different bands that was playing for him before he spoke shows the slow sappy beginning then loud ending, to show the America people and how to act, from sad to happy, depressing times to happy times.
This is what today showed me and how things might not really be looking up for the better but i might be wrong.

Essay draft 4

Thesis: Society today is intertwined with messages of how to live a meaningful life from different cultures.

Humans today want to tell others how to make their live more meaningful, or how to make their lives more meaningless. Stories are passes down to tell morals of how to live your life, and others are telling you to do "this" to express how to make a better life by gathering some other junk, but our lives aren't meaningful because we think it is out of our own willpower, it is meaningful because of the corruption from the fold and corporate messages around us. By filtering the difference between the messages, we can see how the dominate, sub themes are different and can analysis how to live our lives as told by others.
