I know that I didn't complete all of the weblogs that were due for this class, but I felt that I didn't have a lot to actually write about. When given a promt I usually didn't have too much to talk about and I think that will end up lowering my grade because I don't like to elaborate a lot on subjects.

I really liked this movie. I will have to rent it because I want to see the ending. It really makes you think twice about eating at fast food restuarants. Anyways, I am glad that we are writing about this movie for the final because this movie seems very interesting.

From researching my topic of stereotyping, I found a lot of different definitions of stereotypes. Almost every website I looked at had one. There are a lot of examples of stereotypes also, ranging from different ethnics to high school. I also found many quizes that you could take that would tell you what kind of high school stereotype you were. I ( Read more... )

My plans for revising are simple. I think that I'm just going to search google.com and check out the different databases that are listed on the SVSU website. When I first handed in essay # 4 I searched a little on google and didn't seem to find a lot of information that I could really put into my paper, so I will have to find other sources.

I thought everyone's presentations were interesting. Compared to everyone else's, I thought mine was not that great of a subject. I thought Nicole's was especially good because I liked all of the pictures of the clothes and she kept everyone's attention because everyone could identify with different clothes in different eras even though most of the ( Read more... )

I have changed groups to Us and Them though. I am still going to talk about stereotypes in highschool, or school all together. All in all I'm glad we had to work in ( Read more... )

For essay number 4, I wanted to write about classifying people at high school. Everyone does it but I thought of this topic when the other day my sister was talking about these so called "preps", which are the popular kids, and how she does not like them too much. It's not too surprising to me since I went through the same kind of thing when I ( Read more... )

I think that I either want to write about Newspapers like the New York Times compared to a hometown newspaper. Or I was contemplating on whether to write about University websites. Both are similar in that they provide information and have updates along with coming events or stories.  I probably would do reality tv shows but from what I gather, it ( Read more... )

I went to hear the speaker on Thursday because she had spoken in
my history class that same day and seemed very interesting.

Based on the short excerpts which Dr. Ganti was able to
show, what struck you as some similarities / differences
from comparable texts in American media (e.g., travel
narratives, MTV videos)?

Some of the examples of ( Read more... )

Look up Cindy Sherman on Google (e.g., Cindy Sherman .) Are such photos different from candid photos of the sort which might be taken on family occasions? Or is there a staged quality to family photos?
The photo below is one that I remember that was in my art book last semester from Cindy Sherman. In all of the pictures she has taken, all the ( Read more... )
