Alcohol & Toobacco Advertising

Alcohol and tobacco advertising is such a hot topic because it reaches such a big audience and effects people of all ages. Their advertising is shown in movies and in billboards, magazines, and all over the internet. When they show there advertisements it would show people having fun or doing something that appeals to the public and mostly to the youth. They also use movies as a way to get there product noticeable. They would show famous actors smoking and having smoking scenes and in return the viewers would see that there favorite actor or actress would smoke or drinking and then think it was cool to smoke. In years past here use product placement in all moves even in movies that are made for the young and littler kids.

Internet Safety

This video was intersting to watch i didnt kno that a lot of people would kill thierselves from what other people say about them. I feel like that a lot of the information they were telling i really already know but to think about how other people and younger people react to things like that makes it a much bigger deal when they become apart of the whole internet world.

Urban Legends

One of my favorite urban legends are that alligators live in the sewer systems in New York City. This Urban Legend is not true, its said that baby alligators were brought up from florida as pets and were dumbed into the sewers when that outgrown there baby years. Another urban legend that i liked was that german chocolate cake comes from germany. This legend is also not true german chocolate comes from german cooks, they used extravagant ingredients and combine all of it into a rich dining experience. the name really comes from an American who's last name was "German". His recipe for his chocolate cake first came up in a Dallas newspaper in 1957. One more Urban legend that i thought was funny was that chocolate milk is made from regular milk rejected for containing too much cow's blood. This legends is a comlete lie this has no truth in it what so ever.

Blogger

I think blogging is fun and great. I liked creating a blogger account i think it was a exciting assignment. I like being able to change and add different types of the gadgets from goolge. I also liked being able to change how the post looked i like messing around with the different types of backgrounds and colors they had for the blogs. Blogger I think is a good ways to keep your frineds and linked people up to date on what is going on with your life and how you are doing. Althought i wish you could have more than just one picture when your making your profile you can only upload one picture if you wanted more than just one picture you would have to add it by the script or as a post and thats just not cool.

Media Violence

To me Media violence is when the media shows the public acts of violence in some form of communication. Media violence can be from the news, movies, games, TV shows, and the radio. On news channels they talk about the issues that are being face in the area around them and they talk about crime and murders and other types of violence that go on in the area they broadcast in. In movies like saw V and other scarier movies they show people dieing in shocking ways. Also in games they would have a person be the main character and that one character would go around doing violence thing and killing people in order to get farther in the game and to complete a mission or the game its self.
