Social Awareness Contradiction

1. I feel that the Dove Real Beauty campaign is awesome. I think it really shows that every single girl and woman can ARE beautiful in their own way. The media can really destroy the self-consiousness of a girl by saying how skinny they should be or how much makeup they should use. I think that the media can, not always, but alot of the time can have a nasty effect on people. The media will always say what the perfect thing is, or what the perfect wieght is, and I do not think that is good... at all. I mean how can you judge someone based on that criteria? That is not how you define a person. So i am a big fan of the Dove Real Campaign and i would love to be a part of it one day.

2. Uhm, I have not seen ALL Axe commercials, but the one that really makes me laugh is the Chocolate one, where the guy is made of "chocolate" representing the new AXE chocolate spray. This makes me laugh because one i love the music and the guy is quite funny. I mean i do not think that AXE does that, because truthfully I only like one or two of the smells of Axe. I LOVE armani or lacoste or other brands. So i don't think it works for everyone, which kinda makes me laugh because they think it does, but it doesnt.

3. Yeah. I think they do. I mean if ONE company is making two different kid companies.. i think they should be the same. Or at least have the same message. It is kind of wierd that those two companies are from the same parent company and they do not have the same message. I dont like that. I think that if you have one company and two kid companies, they both should have the same message. Meaning it should have the same beliefs and values.

Did they Really Say That?

This picture, in my opinion, is extremely contreversial. It is pretty much stating is that being a a certain way is wrong. And that is TOTALLY NOT the case! To me, its like this photo, just cries to make people upset about themselves because the advrtisement is saying "Eat as much as you want, and still stay thin!" It is just like how it is today. Some magazines say it is best to look like the celebrities in the magazines, when truthfully half of the people in the magazines dont look like that. I think this is a really bad ad because its degrading to alot of people. Its like saying the only way you stauy skinny is if you eat, unless you read this ad. I think at the time, maybe the company running the ad wanted to start a type of "diet", except they just did not word it correctly. There may be ads like this today. Some of them may include like Jennie Craig type of things or Weight Watchers, but that type of diet os more subtle.


This next photo i think gives an impact to women. It is stating that if you blow smoke in her face, shell for sure follow you? Its like shes a puppy? I dont think so. This image to me is trying to state that women are like puppies who follow men around or something. I dont exactly know, but this is not an ad i would like to see in todays period of time. I definitely dont agree with the advertisement.




I dont agree with this statement. Its not a nice saying. I dont even know how to express this.



Doctors aren't supposed to smoke!?!?! They know about all of the problems and diseases that can be caused by smoking! Also the ad is insinuating that if the doctors do it, and obviously they would know if it was bad for them, then every other person will be smoking. Also its like an endorsement towards their cigarettes rather than any other company.

Google Street View

Google Street View is definitely a new step to technology. After seeing the post, i didn't really know how i felt about the new "invention". There are definitely pros and cons to the new program, pros being you can find a house using the map if you are lost and need directions, and its is also useful for site-seeing. The cons being that it is a bit of an invasion of privacy according to some people, and some just do not want their homes on the internet.

For me, I like the fact that you can look anywhere around the world and search where places are, what people are doing and what the place actually looks like. It is almost like you are there, in a different country, state, etc without getting up from your chair. I love to look at different places of the world because it makes me feel closer to the world. Google Street View makes the world just a little bit smaller. I love love love traveling, so its good for people that love to travel or site see.
For others, it may be a disturbance and invasion.

So I think that if google were to change the street view up a bit, i think they should make it that we can see tourist places around the world, but that we wouldn't actually be able to see the homes. For example, i am a BIG Coronation Street fan, and i would one day love to take a tour of Granada Studios, where they film it. In the meantime, just finding where it is and being able to look at it, makes me much closer than before.

As some other posts have mentioned, Google street view has its pros and cons, as does everything else in the world, i guess, but it is really useful for many different reasons.

Testing.. :)

This is just a test to make sure my new blog works! :D
