The power of Advertisement

It's very ironic that advertisement has been around for so long and has been used for the same strategic purpose, to sell a product by playing on the the consumers wants, emotions, and beliefs. Before ads of ipods were used to show success and gain popularity(or at least make the targets believe that's what they would get if they purchased one. )They were used (ads of course.) to get people to buy items like boats by using the "pursuit of happiness" as a slogan.

Battle of the sexes

It sucks that stereotypes of men and women can be seen everywhere. It is so annoying with the stereotypes of both sides. A man makes on average a dollar for every fifty-nine cents a woman makes in the same field. Not because they're more qualified, have better skill, or are more talented. They make more because media portrays a man to be more efficient workers. Man are always seen as emotionally detached and strong, making it easier for them to overcome physical tasks. While women are usually used to show or bring out emotion by showing their elegance and fragile nature, implying that they are much more preferred to do duties of nurture and housework. This commonly placed depiction of the gender roles can be identified everywhere concerning media. Unfortunately it determines a lot .

Patriotism vs. Journalism

When it comes down to it, I believe journalism is never an unbias job. When 9/11 occurred it was tragic, one of the worse events that has occurred in american history, but by not putting things about it in the newspaper we couldn't deal.I don't think any american journalist could do their job and write about 9/11 without some kind of bias. It kind of sucks how juxtaposed it was for them but it was kind of cruel to disregard the feelings of the people who lost their families and suffered . I think the best thing they could have done as journalists is talk more about why what happened happened and less about what happened.
