COPORATE MESSAGES

In the world today many advertisements, play a big role because that's a way of selling corporate messages we don;'t really see the real meaning, what i mean is by that, is there trying to get us in debt for some of the people in the world allot of the deals we get offer sounds great but for some people they know they wont be able to keep up with paying bills and etc. we just pay attention to what is shown to us many of the websites today are colorful to keep us alert many of the messages are in like a neon colors to attract our attention. It's also like we are being control by the pictures and quotes. Many cell phone companies such as Verizon, t-mobile, AT&T also having a special way of showing corporate messages by making offers to our best ability. We as the people are always trying to get the best deal, so they try to sell us the best phones for example "if u don't save up and get our company bundle pack" your not associated with culture, your not down with the brown, your not apart of the community your a lame and will never be apart of society. They don't actually make you feel that way but that's their way of making people left out, until u buy their product. That hows corporate messages get our minds by offer something that we like to hear and putting it in words and pictures and that what attracts us.

Second example of how to live a meaningful life is to stay healthy be fit, don't be fat, fat is a worse thing you could be now a days that's what corporate messages provide us in the world today. Many commercials make people feel that way because their either fat or just not in the best shape. For example commercials that show before and after pictures make people feel like o I could do that I could make that effort let me call 1800-674-FIT. Allot of the media websites set out examples of how to stay fit like be beautiful look like Hilary Duff or eat right http://www.stayfiteatright.org/root/index.html I looked at this website on 11/18/2008.. This is a clear example soon as you enter the website in big colorful letters it says to " LOOKING GOOD CALIFORNIA WITH HILARY DUFF GREAT CONTESTS AND HEALTHY LIVING TIPS OR TEENS". Under the title it has famous people all around the world, who agree with the looking good for future out come. The website site it self wants us to acknowledge the message by having other famous people below to back up the message.

Third example I would like to point out are the dominate and marginal messages, That apply to media. In order to get a full understand what dominate messages are, they are messages that make you feel about yourself like loss weight commericals eat health, HAVE NICE ABS, be popular, There messages that we recognized every day. Marginal messages are messages that we rarely see but intimidates other sub cultures. Some examples of dominate messages that we are able to see every day are through out movies to be this idea of the Best having money is the best way to live your life, or have the most friends stay popular stay on top. There are so many dominate messages that could be mention, the reason why think dominate messages or are recognized are because every day something new happens and people are able to make something dominate about it. Marginal message seem only to come up once in a blue moon because they are rarely recognized we only see marginal messages when you disect message and see the clear meaning of what it actually means. Some examples of marginal messages that i was able to observe were the Matrix, Tupac shakur-Changes, Fight Club are examples of marginal messages.

Since there are all types of corporate messages in the world it would be hard to categorized them all, but as i look an analyzed each of the messages they all fall in a category of trying to stay healthy, get rich or die trying, be popular, be the best, stay on top and finally live a meaningful life/just live your life.




















Movies that were recently viewed were, Pump Up the Volume , Fire fox and lastly Fight Club, and Chicken Run through these movies were many marginal dominate and prohibited messages that were express through out words and emotions. In the movie fight club the messages that stood out to me the most were when Brad Pit said " Consumers are objects to lifestyle obsession" which is very true because we all love to do is shop spend money and etc. We are all consider as consumers whatever the media sell us we buy but is that a meaningful way to live having designer name on underwear, having 500 TV channels is this the best way to live for some us yes it is because we are consumers ready to spend money on stuff we don't need or to entertained us as life goes on day by day. This connects to marginal messages because we live in a world full of products ready to be sold this obligation of money is need for living a good life. Without money or the dumb stuff we buy today that we don't need what some us don't see is that we need to put it to something that might benefit us in the long run we worried but we worried about having the most fresh kicks or even having up to date electronics and etc.

In the movie Pump up the volume, it's very original before the movie even starts they show items that are out of the ordinary stuff that people don't buy Hard Harry the main person in the movie likes name brand stuff people never heard thats he's way of being different in society examples that showed this was tapes not even cd's that were produce by authors names that are hard to pronounce are never thought of. Beng different from soceity makes you stand out cause other look at you to hero, or even so a person to look up to, to start a new trend.

In the movie Chicken Run you can see the different types of social class that were showed in the movie such as the chicken was in the lower class being controlled by the higher class which were the people who owned the chickens and of course the middle class which was the dogs.

Trampled Wal-Mart worker post

It is ridiculous that people are running over people just for merchandise they don’t need, half the stuff we buy today we don’t even use today. So for someone to run over some and not even bother to help them back up, it’s crazy I think. We are all greedy consumers and because of our actions take over, we feel the need to buy every item; however we don’t pay attention to others even if it cause someone to get trampled over. This is a prime of example of how we live today, we are so caught up with buying new electronics, clothes and jewelry that we don’t buy stuff we need. We live with merchandise we don’t need when we could give it away to someone else to use it to their benefit. Our culture is full of consumers and black Friday proves that. Living in a capitalist society this is what happens we tend to spend money instead of saving.


Black Friday/BND post

On the day of Black Friday I did not shop, only because this year I really didn’t want anything, I felt that I had everything I wanted. So waking up in the morning fighting to get in line wasn’t a concern for me. Our culture rituals are that when stores have major sales its means time to shop till you drop. For some people this day is an important day because it gives them a chance to buy stuff they couldn’t afford before but since black Friday is full of sales people are able to buy what they want. Black Friday is an obligation for some people and that’s what makes there life more meaningful having something they always and finally buying it a price they thought they couldn’t buy before. Remember we live in a world full of consumers so making money and spending money is cultural ritual for them. Last year, black Friday I did shop It felt meaningful because it was great experience and I was able to get what I wanted for the time being. So we are able to see a pattern when there is something you always wanted and black Friday drops the price down your bound to become apart of the consumers team. For some people I believe its meaningful for some people but it all depend on the reason some buy for Christmas and some just buy for the hell of it.

Thanksgiving post

My thanksgiving was really good, ate allot of food got to catch on family issues, saw friends and was able to come together as one without any arguments or disagreements it was very meaningful for me. Genocide has never and I don’t think it would ever come up in a thanksgiving dinner discussion. Since my family does celebrate thanksgiving genocide is our least worry, for families who don’t celebrate thanksgiving are the ones who bring up the topic or value what happen within the day about genocide. This culture ritual is only meaningful to certain families because each family is different and were brought up different. I am glad that my family celebrates thanksgiving because all the food I get to eat think about it? if you was family who didn’t celebrate you would not be eating all the food. By the way I was brought up I say by far my life is meaningful.

what do people usaully say about living meaningful?

Well many people around where I live, living in a dangerous society most people value there life being able to wake up the next morning knowing that god is giving the chance to experience the daily life, as to a white man living in beautiful home and safe environment. Majority of the people who go to church value their religion the most because it leads them in the positive direction and that make people life even more meaningful, when they know that they are saved by god. I interview my friend Travis and he thought that just being a football player was the most meaningful part of his life because football gives him a chance to release stress or anger that is already built inside of him. Since football was a family tradition his older used to play right before he passed away. So living and striving thru the lost of a sibling made him play even more it enhance him to follow his brother lead and that what he thought was meaningful.
My other friend Presley said basically taking care of his family his son and daughter and making sure that they are well take care of, knowing that they’re going to be successful, getting a successful job was the last meaningful thing he listed because living in a capitalist society involves money so to able to live in a capitalist society you need money so getting a job is the best way to solve that problem. Basically he thought that family was the most value thing because family comes first no matter what a successful career leads to a successful life.
Thirdly I had ask my whole family and they all name different things for example I ask my mom she said taking care the family being able to communicate with them from time to time was the most meaningful thing to them because family means the most. Secondly she said having a job was the most meaningful being able to pay bills and to keep a roof over our heads living in a family of 5, making sure their food to eat. I ask my mom if she had to pick one she said immediately said family cause nothing can go against family. Next person was my uncle first he said was family then getting his self back on track with finding a job to help him in his finical problems and lastly he said making his music expand because he makes beats and d jays for people parties making a living off of that. Next person was my sister, she automatically said making money and then family I ask why? Family second she told me because in order to support your family you need money which she did have a point I said what about love she automatic said how love going to pay the bills. According to living meaningful she said that money would have to be her main. Next up was my cousin she told us living life having fun and her car was the most meaningful only because driving became a part of her life since she hates public transportation living meaningful is a very broad question because it could lead to so much and more.
In class we were assign to go outside and interview random people on the street and ask what is the most meaningful part of their life, or on a scale of 1-10 what is the most meaningful or what is the least meaningful thing in your life and how can you make it better all these living meaningful questions were asked to many individuals. There was a gentlemen who I asked and he said family and then money and then his regular hobbies he do each and every day to make his life meaningful I ask him on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate your meaningful living life he reply and said a 8.5 I ask does that point 5 make a difference he said yea because that’s how life is to me. I ask other gentlemen he was a taxi driver he automatically responded with a direct answer I said how u feel about your job do you think it’s meaningful he said that it’s the worse job in history I recommend that you never do this job ever but it pays good the that’s the only way it keeps him doing it. He said taxi drivers get very good money I ask him is there anything else he reply and said that family was the meaningful thing in his life which I can understand because mostly everyone says that first. The last question I ask he reply by saying I think I waste my time doing the taxi job but knowing I still have my family means allot. I ask on a scale of 1-10 he said 7 was the score he gave his meaningful life which could explain why because he really didn’t feel for his job and he thought it was a waste of time but he made money from it to support his family members.
Based on the interviews I did you could clearly see how family/friends put certain things first and second and compare them. Usually the third thing people would say is a hobby or obligations. This is simply a pattern because most of my friends and family put family first and the money last maybe because that’s the way they feel towards life everyone has a different opinions in there life and its up to them to live it the way they want. Based on society today we can make note that everyone sees life in a different lens and value it in many different ways it all depends on how they value it and take it within. Living meaningful is like a domino affect it keep going until you pass away and buried in the ground.

ANALYSIS & INSIGHT

What have you included in this Video?

I included everything that was meaningful to me, like hobbies things I did with my family, pets, chilling with friends making some kind of movement. I included many things with my family because my family comes first and that means allot to me so I cherish allot of moments with them. I included types of music I listen to everyday because it’s meaningful to me, the music I listen to keeps me going everyday and music plays a role in my life. I included something I wanted to do as a career I want to have my own clothing store making all the best types of t-shirts, so I included some examples that is similar to my t-shirts that I would make in the future.

What parts of the video related to relatively meaningful aspects of your life?

Well getting up every morning of my life knowing that I am I still in the world today means allot to me I lost many of my friends because either drugs violence or etc. During the summer I work which was one of my main aspects in the world today to get motivated and head in a positive direction, especially living in capitalist society money involves everything. Doing things over the summer was very meaningful to me but might be different to someone else.

What would you have liked to included but weren’t able to?

I would have like to included more things that I wish I have token a picture of but didn’t so that I cud show more aspects to the way I see my life being more meaningful. I would have like to included more pictures of where I am from to represent where I live which is Queens and I would have like to show that Far Rockaway isn’t all that bad, I would have took pictures of the summer youth program showing that these kids today trying to do the right thing with their lives.

What seem to be some of the main criteria you use (emotionally, +/or mentally) to assess how meaningful aspect of your life is?

I use allot of exciting moments of my life because those were the most meaningful moments. I feel that the most exciting moments of my life brings out my personality because when I get old in age I cud share with my kids that I did something meaningful with my life and not have a meaningless. I had some sad moments of my life that were meaningful to, because for people who have past such as friends and family and etc losing someone in your life knowing that you not going to see them ever again, is meaningful because you think about the times yall spent together and made the best of it.


What’s going on with your way of life? What seems to be the general pattern or direction or point or situation?

The only pattern that I see within my life is that I am going to school making something meaningful out of it to help me in the future to have a better successful future.
My life is going very good so far I just wish I had a job that would pay me good money and what I mean is a job that pay like 18 and up and hour jobs but otherwise that I am doing good.

Looking at the video as a whole- is it honest /accurate depiction of your life?

Looking as it as whole I think it’s accurate because if it weren’t then that would mean I wish my life was like this or in some case, similar to something else. My life is exactly similar to the movie I made just that I didn’t take pictures of my everyday life aspects at every second.


Does your life seem meaningful from an outside perspective? Is it from an inside perspective? Why?

My life seems more meaningful looking through the outside because the aspects I experience is from the world today and with out the world I wouldn’t have certain achievements to show my accomplishment so by looking at my life from a outside perspective makes me visualize and realize that everything going good within my life.

What questions do you have about living a meaningful life at this point?


I have No questions

Government policy is when important people come together and form some kind of effort showing that they care for society and trying to help and provide us some help to make our community a better place or even a better country. Government policy has affect on adults because of welfare, this is really important because people who have jobs and work really hard the Government, still takes out taxes out there pay check.

This might really have an affect on each individual because some people might not have allot of money and for people to work over time and all this extra hard work it really doesn’t pay off because when The government still takes out taxes. It feels like you did not work as hard as you think you did. Many adults live under welfare like social security, child support, child support is important in reality because the government sees it like if you gradually separate your wife or husband. If you get divorced or leave and that child and it is rightfully yours and you don’t show no parenting, feeding, buying clothes, making sure you child get what it deserves, then the government has that right to be able to make you pay child support you have no choice rather you like it or not this would be no discussion IT’ IS THE GOVERNMENT POLICY.

Another example of government policy is that people do crimes they automatically go to jail and depending on the crime; they’re either sentence to whatever time the judge says or on probation. For most of the crimes today many people go straight to seeing the judge because that’s the policy. When people park in the wrong areas on the street, each and ever is bound to get ticket, all you have to do is park in the right places or don’t drive at all. So many people complain about the government doing this and that, but the only way things going to change if someone does something about and Obama and Hilton are the ones who are trying to make a change. Once something set as government policy its hard change.

In the world today many people think the government does all this bad stuff you got to think outside the box even though majority of the time, the government makes bad decisions, but the otherwise the government pros are that they set out allot of programs for teenagers and kids so that they have something to do instead of getting into trouble, with drugs and violence.
The government makes these summer programs, boys and girls club, and Y.M.C.A, and lastly PAL all these programs have been around for years and that’s a way to show society that’s how the government cares. No to mention theses programs really help out like they have many activities like basketball tournaments that my self have participated in many times.

Government policy doesn’t affects teens as much as adults because we don’t have many bills to pay only our cell phone bill for some of us. But it really kills when your adult that’s why so many people hate the government and what they do sometimes don’t make any sense. Government does look out for many teens, because teens are more sexual active then adults. Speaking for teens there got to be at least 20 new born babies a day because of sexually active teens, now since the government so call cares about us we have pass the law for abortion and have many programs through school to keep there baby safe and well taking care of. While teens are getting their education.

Summer youth jobs contributes to government policies because they allowed Teens who didn’t get a job for the summer to actually contribute to the community and help out things that need to be done. Summer youth jobs are good it give each individual teen to actually have experience for future careers that they want to succeed in.

Government policy affects kids either organizing them through catholic schools and public school, some parents prefer private so that they can focus more so they can constrate. But some parents prefer public because they don really care or they just send them to school cause they know what needs to be done. Government policy really doesn’t have an affect because they don’t know too much about it when they’re young.

How does government policy affect elder, well here why when you turn a certain age like 65 the government forces you to quit your job. I believed that’s wrong because I think everyone should work according to however they long as they live, but since it’s a government policy no one can change that. Social security is very important when connecting it to elderly people because its wrong to go into someone check and take out taxes, when taking out taxes the government rightfully go within your check and depending on balance they take away a certain amount which I think it’s wrong the government should pay the whole amount as we the people work for.

PAPER

Cradle to grave




Capitalism is involved with money wealth and profit; capital is a word that is in capitalism that means wealth invested to up wealth, Capitalism is involved with huge amounts of money, to keep capitalism alive the world today it, needs more business. For the people who aren’t a capitalist they stand in like a poor class because they aren’t that rich enough to invest or do something with their money that would top a typical capitalist person.

Capitalism affects us today because everyone that is not rich there are many social classes that may fit there financial problems. Capitalism is all about money wealth and profit it is always going to have an affect on the United States because we all cant be rich there is always going to be down fall that’s why social class is important. When referring to these roles Government policy, Social norms and finally Capitalist. They all have an affect on us.

In society today we have a system of capitalism everywhere in the world is capitalism you cant run a ways from capitalism. We live a capitalism lifestyle. Capitalism affect many adults as they life goes on there are many examples of how capitalism play a role such as getting paid, buying houses, working, paying rent, government, paying for college going to the store, everything that has to with money has affect on adults and many other people in society.

I believe that social class is very important when considering certain families and looking through how they live there life, some families are more lucky than other but the best way to live your life is to strive my personal opinion because you get to go through obstacles the right and wrongs you experience more for example rags to riches most people who are poor and wine up making it to the top are the most successful and knows how to handle situations.

The people who have their life handed to them are successful but they don’t know how to handle certain situations where if they was get rob or anything. This affects capitalism because we get to see how people who start off with nothing and end up with something capitalism can be bad and also good depending on how well you take advantage of it.

Capitalism affect many adults living the life as an adult you think its easy but its not, all adults pay bill that’s a sign of capitalism taking money from you to give to the capital is capitalism. Paying off expensive cars, such as car notes insurance are all signs of capitalism no matter what the situation is capitalism is going to be a part of it. Capitalism is like a big corporation trying to make a hustle of every citizen that works there butt off to feed their family or benefit themselves in life. Capitalism plays a big role in adult’s lives because we are capitalism we live it.



In the world today many young adults including my self don’t pay too much attention to how capitalism controls our life and what we do and how we spend it. Capitalism is everything not one not two everything, capital means the top, someone in charge, capitalism is the same thing but there many people who have money and who feels in charge.

Capitalism hasn’t hit many young adults these days because as long as there parents gives money to them they don’t think about the what ifs or the cause and effect. Looking besides the fact that our parents depends on the jobs the jobs is depended on the hours the hour is depend on the person it’s a cycle.

Many young adults in the world today have this sense of looking at the world as if it was two money vs. solidarity. Many people but Young adults mostly look at the world, as being money, under the word money there is competition, profit, bottom line, quality and rational all these words describes young adults competition is most valuable one in the world today because everyone wants to be on top competition especially in FASHION.

Fashion is a big influence on kids these days not even young adults babies wear pradas, coach shoes, soon as a baby is born he/she wrap around in a true religion towel or something. But if you don’t have a pair of designer jeans then others look at you if you as if you poor or if you not getting “money” that’s how we put it. Capitalism is important without money how would we survive where would we stand.
Without capitalism And the money spent on technology and how young adults have sidekicks and I pods and zunes and I phones all these things are important to us. What if all that stop and capitalism stop spending so much money in electronics how do you think how society would react. Young adults would be all on the same social class their want be no competition because capitalism would have stopped its cycle. Capitalism is very important within our world today because we are made up of money and without capitalism cycle we wont have it.


How has capitalism affect elderly people? Well here are some examples; retirement has played out within many elderly ages. Of course we seem to blame, evolution by letting time fly past us we start to rotten. Retirement has been affecting elderly people more than any other ages because as you get old get more slow and not gain as much energy to make it to work back and forth every day. This affects capitalism because the United States wants people to work so they can take more taxes away from people and make more money, and by elderly people retiring this might have and affect on our economy. Capitalism means MONEY so by something affecting capitalism means affecting money.

Health care is provided to everyone but why does it cost so much? I mean it should be free to keep our fellow Americans working, health care should be the main priority. Usually the older you are if your under a certain health insurance if the medicine too much to pay then capitalism is on your side and actually helps you pay for the medicine you need to live on another day. Capitalism is meant to stay on top of things so in order for the government to stay on top of things, the most important thing is to take care the people first. Majority of medicines today do cost allot of money don’t know why but that’s how capitalism works out.

Social Norms are action and things that we do and that we don’t realize that are appropriate for time and place. Examples of social norms are like picking your nose, farting, burping, spiting constantly and many more, Social are apart of everyone lives we all do something that is weird or is a habit or something we just don’t realize. Social norms affect people around us because if we, if see something or someone, we would want to change it because something is either going to lead up to a problem or we find it annoying. Social norms not only play out in teenagers but it plays a role in every age such as elderly, toddler, and adults. Social norms has affected us but can be fixed. A way capitalism plays a role in America is that most of the people in the world today are fans of capitalism.

In society today people do not think too much about social norms, they most likely just do them. It is more like something their use to doing many people do not say, “Oops I just did a social norm”, and there more likely do the same process over repeatedly. When considering an elderly person there more likely to do everything 3 or 4 times no offense but that is evolution. Looking back to teenage life, they are more worried about fashion then their own health all the kids now a days try some how to keep up with the latest brand or latest sneakers. The difference between elderly is that concentrated on health issues. It is a social norm for them to worry about them selves before anything if you notice.

Living as a teenager social norm is a very big part of life and many other teenagers who live around me. Social norm is obvious but we as teenagers don’t really pay attention a prime example fashion is and will always play a big role with our life because if we don’t catch up with the latest fashion we as young adults look as if we don’t have money, it all depends on the group and person. Many teenagers like to get FRESH and what that means is to have money keep up with up to date clothing brands getting a fresh cut no bummy hairline, and fresh kicks. If you don’t have close to that you probably not going to be down with the crew.

Another social norm that plays apart in our life as young adults, is that we tend to always wake up to go to school it’s a social norm for use to wake up every morning to go to school, we don’t have to but we do so to better our future. That what we have to do a social norm has it role in every little way. Social norms always and will have an affect on us because we cant escape the social norms, its apart of us. Social norms are everywhere. Social norms can affect us negative and positive ways but it all depends on how we take it.

Not to mention but adults also have social norms many adults seem to have responsibilities which turn into social norms cause they constantly do it over and over again. It’s a social norm for females, when they go out they have to get the right dress the right shoes everything has to be right its normal. Social norms are things that are normal but we do it so much it becomes socially apart of our life that’s why till this day now females are always looking good when they go out. Speaking for a male when we go out we has to make sure we are on point nice shoes nice shirt smell good. When adults have kids there main priority is to put their kids first and always it’s a social norm for them to take care there them before themselves. Social norms are good because it takes care things that needs to be done and fix.

Social norms are an everyday thing, for example when voting time is coming up it is a very important social norm for elderly people to vote. I know because my grandmother always makes sure she votes and other people her age. It is a social norm for elderly people to tell long stories about their life back in the 90’s and 80’s to their grand children. Every body grand parents have stories about them growing up that’s just life.

Elderly people are more likely to play lotto more then adults because its easier to when money, when all elderly people do is sit around and do nothing it’s a social norm for them to play lotto and scratch away there life to they see 20,00 appear on the little ticket. Social norms are very important in society today because it give us a chance to see what we done in the past its shows progression within our daily life. Social norms would never stop it will continue forever.

How do Capitalism, Social Norms, and Government policy affected us?


In the world today there are many things that have or has been distracting us but we haven’t been confronted them, the things that made people think were Government Policy, Capitalism, Social Norms. These 3 things play roles that make us feel disgusted or wonder how well wealthy America really is or wonder why we have to follow rules and amendments. Government Policy set out rules, Regulations, Amendments, all these things are a way for our society to stay positive.
Government policy are a bunch of powerful people who set examples of what needs to get done and in the world today everyone need to pay taxes, everyone needs to follow rules and etc. The question that appears in many minds is how did the United States get so wealthy? Well the U.S has allot of money personally they invested and own many business within and without the U.S which makes them even more wealthier. Government policy has effected many people today but they do our country good in some ways, for example people complain about how taxes bother them so much but when that income tax come in everyone is so happy. As you can see Government policy play a role in a government and in the society today that makes us wonder why is it so important to follow policies. As a male in society we all have roles, we as the people can take the chance to become much more if we strive and struggle to be what we want in the world today. Another role that made us Americans wonder is Social norms.
Social Norms are action and things that we do and that we don’t realize that are appropriate for time and place. Examples of social norms are like picking your nose, farting, burping, spiting constantly and many more, Social are apart of everyone lives we all do something that is weird or is a habit or something we just don’t realize.
