#27 One Last Thing

From taking this class I learned that the media is so much more than music, movies, magazines, and television.. etc. I learned that it's all constructed and planned out perfectly. I also learned that the media is s\ruining all our lives.

#26 Fast Food

I eat fast food with my friends. Usually we go to McDonalds before our youth group. I don't eat it everyday but it's often. I don't really think about damaging myself when I eat fast food, but I probably should. My family never eats fast food, but we do go out for dinner a lot because my dads company pays for it. In the future I will probably eat the same amount I do now because it delicious.

#25 Celebrities And The Paparazi

I think they deserve some privacy, but when you choose to be famuos then you give up those rights. But if it's something like a famous celebrity is at a restaurant then it doesnt really matter and the paparazi people shouldn't make such a big deal of it. I feel bad for the celebrities who are out doing something and then something happens and the paparazis capture it and then they make a big story of it thats not true.

#24 Stuff That's Hard To Sell To Teens

My group chose the HD wrap around sun glasses. It will be hard to sell to teens because they are just rediculous and completly unnessicary to be completly black out from any light. If you get a lot of people wearing them then you could probably sell them. And, we showed the other things that it can do, other than blocking the sun, like shielding you from lazer pointers and flashlights.

#23 Cool

My deffinition of cool is something that everyone is doing, saying or wearing. What is cool now might not be cool is the near or far future, and what is cool is always changing. An example of something that is cool right now is short-shorts. I don't wear them for several reasons, but a lot of people do.

#22 Teens Are Like Africa

I think the mook and midriff image is still very present even though it was created several years ago. It's deffinitely changed a bit though. It's more present on Jersey Shore than anywhere else. All the guys all really  muscular and all the girls wear skimpy clothes. Even though that show is fake, they definitely shows the  mook and midriff image quite well. It's kind of creepy that "the man" crafts what we, for the most part, wear and do. I don't think that we realise how much we are constructed by "the man", but it's hard to escape it, and if you don't participate you ultimately arn't "cool".

#21 Amercian Teen

American Teen deffinetly shows what it's generally like to be a teenager these days. Every school has cliques and you, to the most part, fit into a clique. It could be nerds, popular, jocks, rebels, etc. IDCI deffinetly has cliques but it's not like some schools where you can only talk to certain people. American Teen shows the drama and peer pressure many teens face during their time in high school. What it didn't show were any fights, which is something many schools have. But, that could be because they only focused on a small group of kids.
