Videos.

The past videos i have watched have been very interesting to me. I have learned a lot about the technology, and all the work they do on the "models" in media. And behavior people perform. My favorite video of all the video's is where they showed the before and after photos of the people used to model. It shows just how fake people in the media are. My opinion on media today is that it’s very inappropriate, and violent. This is very offensive to adults I would imagine. Because for their children or grandchildren this is a bad influence for them, and not good for them to learn or watch. When I compare the two videos I come to know that woman in the media are kind of "disrespected" and made to look like they're not supposed to be heard, or speak. And men are made to look "tough" and in control. I have never noticed these types of things in the media until our media analysis class studied it. And now that it’s pointed out I think there needs to be change in the media today. There is probably more children watching and looking at all of these inappropriate advertisements. Such as; sex ads, and drug ads. And it makes kids want to do those types of things. Such as when a heavier young girl see's a skinny tall model, they think that’s how everyone is supposed to look. And that might lead to a lot of health problems for young girls, such as anorexia, and bulimia. To try to make there bodies look that good. But what they don’t know is they try to make media seem so perfect, and flawless, so they can get more money on an item, or a company. I believe they should to a major change in media for the better. It would help prevent a lot of the things going on in today’s society. To close I am done stating my opinion on media in today’s world.
