Sexism

In my opinion this ad is very sexist. Notice how the guy only worries about the beer, but does not worry if his wife is injured. This shows that men cared for beer. As well as, that men were led to whatever they saw. I guess that women in the 1950's would get offended by this ad. I would not appreciate somebody to only care for beer. I seriously believe that sexism is a serious problem in society today. It was not so different 60 years ago. Society in the 1950's was engulfed by the idea that a women's job was to cook and clean, and had no business in doing either. The ad shows that men would enjoy by drinking beer. Why would men care more for beer than for their wife's? Ads like this show the weakness of women in the 1950's. Hopefully, in the progressive society things will change.

The Impacts of Television

TV has had a huge impact on society, affecting the shoes we buy and the gum we chew to which news interpretation we hear and how the country is doing in the President's State of the Union speech. TV can be used for many positive implications such as asking for donations to help earthquake victims in Japan, but can help twist family values and what is acceptable in society. Media, such as music and TV, definitely affect the actions of teenagers. Commercials particularly focus on this age group because they are a large group of consumers in the United States. If a commercial shows a guy wearing the latest pair of Jordans and gets all the girls, teen boys would see that and think "maybe I'll be cooler if I get those shoes." Some teens watch "Degrassi" and begin to think that the behavior of the people on the show is acceptable, when truly a person wouldn't be able to keep a job if all he or she did was party. On the lighter side, TV can also show other teens that are volunteering to help others after a natural disaster hits. Seeing someone their age making a difference in his or her community, could prompt other teens to do the same. All in all, the messages advertisers and producers send to the public through TV can absolutely affect the opinions, actions, purchases of teens and other Americans

The Norman Rockwell Story

In this particular photo, there are 4 guys. The for guys are Nate, Alex, John, and Sammy. These four guys decided to go to a restaurant and have a couple of drinks. The night that they went they heard a terrible noise. The noise sounded like a huge thud. Right after the sound startled them, Nate, Alex, And John looked straight behind the counter to figure out if the sound came from there. Sammy was trying not to look. It looked as if Sammy was suspicious of something. Nate John, and Alex looked at Sammy. Sammy just kept pouring coffee into a cup as if he didn't hear the noise. Then John, Alex, and Nate decided to run behind the counter to figure out what had caused the huge thud. As soon as they ran behind the counter they noticed a small room. They were curious to know what was in the room, so they just opened the door and took a peek. Inside the room they had seen what has caused the loud thud. The thud came from a dead body laying on the floor.They were all scared. After that they never returned to that place again.
