<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"> By the usage of women in advertisements it changes the way people think of women because they are shown in a sexist or degrading way, by using a perfect body women or a stereotypical advertising of them it affects the innocence of women, it’s to help the consumers of the products more appealing to it or to make them see woman in a lower comparison to men. These four advertisements demonstrates that the portrayal of some advertisements have a negative effect on women. I used the attitude, symbolism, and the idea of how woman are compared to men to further prove this. </span></div>

By looking at the advertisement you can see that it is portraying a woman being so amazed at this product and then at the bottom it reads “You mean a woman can open it?”. By the saying of that it is trying to say that women are the weaker sex because you can notice that they don’t mention both male and female not being able to open it. Also by the amazed expression on her face its proving that this women is actually in amazement that there is finally a cap that she is able to open, which is a very false accusation, women are capable of opening other products and both men and women can have a struggle on them sometimes. In this image they have also underlined the word ‘woman’ to try to make sure that woman know that they are actually able to open these products now, which is very insulting thing to do because they have now single out the woman. When i also read the advertisement i picked out a sentence that proved of the negative effect on woman, it says ‘without a knife, blade, a bottle opener or even a husband!” by saying or even a husband it's implying that women are always reliant on their husbands to open things for them once again trying to say women are suppose to be the weaker sex. Overall the idea of this advertisements image is trying to make women look as if they are too weak to open a bottle cap making this sexist and degrading against women. </span></div>

These features are both helping the product to attract attention because of the use of the woman. The way these advertisements are setup makes it seem like these women are being 'sold' along with the product. The attitude of the Budweiser women supports the idea of a negative portrayal because the way she is put in the advertisement makes her vulnerable and with less decency and by the finishing of the brands letters on her makes her seem like she is the bottle. The body of the woman in the Original Red beer advertisement has actually made the woman now the bottle to show that having this beer is like being able to have a woman and it shows that she is what is also being consumed because she is now part of the bottle. The idea behind these two advertisements is to use the woman and make them part of the beer so that the men will be attracted to it because of the way the woman are put into the advertisement.</span></div>

The Kenwood Chef is a type of mixer made for mixing foods. In this advertisement there is a man and a woman could be symbolizing as a husband and wife, then to the left of them is the words “The Chef does everything but cook - that's what wives are for”. That statement is trying to say that this product may be a helpful product for cooking but it doesn't cook because that's the stereotypical role that has been set on woman that they are suppose to be the ones cooking. Not only is that statement very sexist but the fact that its trying to say that the husband and neither the mixer cook because that's the wife's job is proving that its making the woman seem like that's what people see them as doing, like they are the ones to cook even though men are capable of cooking. Another part of the advertisement that proves how woman are being shown into advertising is the slogan in the corner that says “I’m giving my wife a Kenwood Chef”. This slogan is implying that this is a product for woman, its something a husband would give to their wife because they only seem to mention the woman when they’re talking about cooking. Overall although there are men that are amazing cooks, this advertising is focusing more on the woman being cooks but in sort of an insulting way as if men aren't capable of getting this mixer because woman are the cooks.</span></div>

This advertisement is of a drink that anyone should be able to drink there's nothing that serious about drinking a can of Dr.Pepper but because of the bold new only ten tasting calories it's now apparently become too much for women to handle. This stereotype of women being the weaker gender is also portrayed in this advertising. This drink is also a recent type of drink yet the stereotype of women being weak is still being used even though its been demonstrated in ads from a long time ago. The idea of women not being worthy enough to drink this Dr.Pepper is sending a very negative message to females, and it’s very wrong. </span></div>

When in reality everyone is different and no one should try and act or look like someone they are not. </span></div>

Say if you were to get a desktop computer and at that time it was the best thing out there, but then a couple months later they came out with a laptop that is 10x faster than your desktop. You would go and buy it only for the reasons it’s faster, everyone will have it, and you believe it’s better because it’s the newest thing. Well now you have a desktop and a laptop; why do you really need two electronics that do the same thing just in a different way? But now look at how the baby is holding the cell phone as if it is drinking from a bottle. This is showing that we rely on these objects as though we need them to survive in life, just like a baby needs food. We all technically “feed” off of this inanimate object as though it is a life source because we are unable to see that we should not have to rely on it as though it is the all powerful thing that controls what we do. .I believe the creator of this image was trying to get across that we rely on these thing way too often and we really don’t need them to get through the day. When would you ever really see a baby with a cell phone? It’s just not realistic. But at the same time it is because people now compared to people back when cellphones were first invented have so much more going on, on, their phone. Just think right now for a few minutes how many apps do you have on your phone? How long could you really go without it? Are the uses you use it for all necessary? How often would you say you pick it up in 30 minutes? The overall message this is getting across to people is that you should look at how reliant you are on one object that has taken over your life, and basically you need your cellphone and other electronics to survive in todays society. People would rather just sit their kids down in front of the tv or give them an ipad for a couple hours while the parents themselves have time to check their own phones and update their statuses to “OMG my kids are driving me insane” instead of taking them out for a walk to the park and play with friends. Also the light rays coming off of the cell phone make it like it is the almighty power that runs all life on this planet. If we did not have a cellphone or they were never invented we would be lost and mindless people just roaming the earth and not going anywhere in life. </span></div>

It’s basically saying your life and others lives are less important than replying to a text you could reply to in a little while. It’s illegal, dangerous, and a risk for you and everyone else driving on the same road and she still proceeds to answer the text message even though she knows it’s wrong. I believe the message that this picture is trying to get across is that people are so addicted to the phone that they can’t just wait until they are in a safe environment and respond to their text then; they just have the urge to answer right away and see what’s on their phone. The picture is taken from a behind view which makes the cellphone in her hands stand out also it makes the steering wheel stand out like it’s a huge message she is driving and texting at the same time. It’s not a safe act to do especially when you are in a moving vehicle you are not only putting yourself in danger but you are also putting other in danger as well. This picture connects with the first because they both show very close similarities. The first picture shows the baby not being able to live without the phone as if it is the life source for the baby, and this picture shows the woman being so addicted to her phone that she can’t just wait to text back after she is done driving. My image 2 supports the overall message because they are saying the same thing just in two different time periods in life. The baby needs it for survival and the woman needs it to ease her urge to answer the text back, she can’t leave it alone just like she is thriving off of it. People just can not live without their phone in their hand and it is sad that they are willing to put their lives in danger to answer a text message; people are too addicted to electronics.</span></div>

There are two girls that are fuzzy in the back and they are looking toward the girl in the front with their phone in their hands; they are smiling like they just did something they think is funny. The girl in the front has been messaged something from the girls in the background and it was something that was not nice and it’s made the girl upset: she is alone and the girls in the back are together and are smirking. Cell phones are not just used for finding the newest hip song or where the closest starbucks is: teenagers use their phones as a lifeline for their existence and it’s really sad how they thrive off of it in this generation. This girl is being bullied by these other two girls in the back; the girls are laughing like its a joke. The main message this is sending is that people don’t understand how often things like this occur in a normal teenagers life: the thing is these girls are not thinking about what they are really doing to this girl, they can be charged for what they are starting to do to her. Cell Phones create this fake world that a huge amount of people live in and they are cautious of what they are sending off it. The two girls in the back laughing at what they have sent to the girl by her self creates a very tense and uncomfortable feeling that is happening to this girl. I think the person who took this photo got his/her point across for the message because it is obvious it’s a bullying message and it is made very clear that she is in this position by the way the photo was taken and the theme of black and white, the two girls in the back laughing and overpowering the one girl in the front. She is very clear to the camera and the girls in the back are all blurred out. All three of these images all share one main similarity and that is how they show that electronics are bad and can hurt people and mess up life sometimes; believing it is our life source, texting while driving, and cyber bullying. A couple differences is that they come at this point from different angles, and they all convince this thesis is correct. I believe that this world would have been better off without electronics ever being invented and we never know what a life without them would be like but it could have been a lot healthier and safer without them. Electronics should not have been invented. </span></div>

His eyes look like they have hypnotize in a trance as if put under a spell by the electronics and can’t get out of it. As well as all the electronics have a sort of evil look on their face like they plan to suck humans into a world controlled by them. I believe the idea of this image is to show that people sometime don’t even rule themselves any more that the electronics they own rule their life for them. We can’t control that the electronics are getting out of hand in this society. It shows this by the guys eyes in the photo and how he looks to be hypnotised; the electronics have evil looks on their faces. The overall message to this picture is that electronics can be so addicting it takes over our lives and we don’t even realize it: just look around the room right now, how many electronics do you see. We don’t need these things in life; you will say no we do and I know you will but you have never lived a life without them so how would know if life would have been better? You don’t. All these electronics have surrounded this guy tied him up and are either playing music/singing around him while they have him tied up. This just shows us that they are becoming over taking with our lives. All four of these images show that people basically strive for their phones; some in different ways. They also show how people have become so addicted to this fake world almost that they don’t care about their safety or other peoples hurting. Electronics are becoming overwhelmingly addicting to some people that sometime we don’t realise there is more to life than being updated with the latest status on facebook or posting a picture on instagram to get a bunch of likes. Electronics should not have been invented, people use them for the wrong reasons and get away with sometime so they will do it again.</span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679386605303180515.post-75220648921619667312015-01-19T10:25:00.002-08:002015-01-19T11:40:13.090-08:00Big Risk - Little Outcome<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nevertheless, people come in almost arms-length from death to capture these breath-taking photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No, this man is not on fire or being electrocuted. the radiation emitting from the Elephant's Foot is damaging the camera film and producing these ember coloured distortions in the photo. As you can see in the photo, the man at the back of the room is wearing a hardhat and a protective suit, but no visible face protection, which comes to show that the photographers were unaware of the dangers of the Elephant's Foot and the levels of radiation there in general, meaning the photographers unknowingly received heaps upon heaps of radiation for small scientific credit</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"The World's Most Dangerous Road" (Commonly known as "Death Road") in La Paz, Mexico served as a major route for cars and trucks to pass over the mountains of La Paz up until 2007 when they constructed a much safer route for automobiles. Now, "Death Road" is mainly used by cyclists and tour buses. Since 2007 there have been a recorded 24 deaths from cyclists alone, Still, today, tour guides are hosting cyclist runs through this treacherous road. In this photo, you can see 2 people hanging over the side of the cliff, sort of as if they are taunting death. As if the road wasn't dangerous enough, the people in the image proceed to go all out and snap this picture, probably as a way to get the reader/viewer more interested in the content.</span></div>

This is proven by the attitude of the subjects and contrast. As seen, the male is the sun and the female is the moon. Both look calm and even-tempered. The sun needs the moon just as much as the moon needs the sun, they do not need Mars or Mercury to attain the peace of mind they have found with each other. They accompany one another daily, this image also gives off the idea of having each others back. A true relationship can conquer any type of high or low, in this case, since they are the sun and moon, they are apart physically but together emotionally, no type of distance can break their bond. People search for their better half for some or most of their lives, and when they find that person, it is like all the puzzle pieces fit with no struggle, just as their relationship has formed so flawlessly. The term “love is in the air” blends perfectly with this image, they surround the world with the trust and love that they found from each other.
<span id="docs-internal-guid-39f54229-f060-1c50-27fb-aceab175cff6"><span style="background-color: #fff9e5; vertical-align: baseline;"><img height="495px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/O-8Zd-HAzkjW_QvygGzFl1UtKrcO1D5tiZ0ZIY_S8xFPft4n-GLan5_X2NLHOo2NIaeNjXIKKz5RQTtAg7VRleLDEckm4XUSUACR8cRj_4Tjbqsy4caKRIbTTFZcVcJ86A" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="600px;" /><span style="line-height: 1.15; text-align: center;">This image shows how love can be shared not only through people, but through animals as well. This is shown through the attitude of the subjects and the relationship between the subjects. When looking at this image, the idea of suffering comes through. They both look like they have been through one too many exhausting days by the wrinkles on their skin and the way the male lion leans onto the female, he leans on her like he has had enough of the pain and is looking for her support and sympathetic love to get him back up on his feet. Their facial expressions look drained of strength, like some sort of low has been occurring in their lives. It seems as if they are in a battle for something, but without each other it would be nearly impossible to do. They rely on one another to keep them sane enough to be able to get through this misery. Just like image 1, they have each others back through thick and thin, nothing can interfere with the powerful bond they have formed with one another.</span></span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-39f54229-f061-c52e-bab8-e794a9ff238e"><span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img height="400px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/rdneMFZGceWUzYEBBq2Eq19_SY5z5lqIvpyiO4LuZ9P5bI528QGBXuaGuFx8g749bYL9Rv3hQuK942oHRSHQTuLy8DecTmdyvVtljH2n1F1Ewx-NZt35dgTp6_zA9eRSng" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="300px;" />An eternal love is the perfect expression for this photo. As seen, these two people have died in each others arms, holding each others face and their legs are intertwined. These people knew that their time was coming, they did not want to be with anyone else when the time did come. The love these people have grown became the only thing they had, not another shell of a human is near. They wanted their last few breaths on this planet to be with one another. Just imagining what a world would be like where you only had one person to be with during your death would be difficult, but perfect at the same time. Having that one person you love so much be with you at a time like this shows that they care for you just as equally as you do. You can’t change who you die with and this person knew that they had chosen the right one, their final decision involved one another to be present. The attitude of the subjects show that this was planned, this is what they wanted, to be together during their last few minutes of life. This is an embrace that never dies and their love will be continued on for thousands of more years. </span></span><br />

The attitude of the groom shows how much he loves his bride to be. His facial expressions look surprised, just like he’s thinking “wow, this is who I am marrying and staying with for the rest of my life”. His happiness shows in both images clearly, he couldn’t of asked for more of a perfect person to be marrying. Tears of joy are spread throughout this day worldwide for everyone who marries. The true colours of a groom are shown when he first lays his eyes on his bride, they are looking at his future and in this image, he loves every part of it. The way the bride shrugs her shoulders shows how she is just as happy as her groom. Just as the image with the lions, the male looks at his other as someone that can be trusted with their life. There is only one person that is not apart of your family that is capable of gaining that kind of faith, it is the person you truly love with everything you have and you know that they do too. Being married proves to yourself, your partner and your peers that this is the person who you can rely on with your most delicate belongings and jaw-dropping secrets.

The image above shows multiple cars stuck in a traffic jam with large amounts of smoke spewing from their exhausts . The foreground is especially filled with smoke, as the photographer purposely wanted to put an emphasis on how much smoke cars emit . The Image then tunnels through cars into the background to show the amount of cars that are in the traffic, each spewing out smoke . As most are aware, green-house gases are a root cause for climate change, slowly destroying the earth that somehow sustains us all . The more people on earth, the more cars there will be, and the more gases that will destroy the earth we live on, further causing natural disasters like like hurricanes. The impact of said smoke displays the seriousness of overpopulation as more people will be driving, and more people will be destroying the earth we live on . </span></div>

The image creates the idea that there are too many people living on earth to be properly managed, making the earth slowly deteriorate .The image finds the earth carrying the heavy weight of all of it’s citizens, thus making the earth weaker . The image is a negative connotation based on the disappointed expression the earth’s face, and blue colour . The stress that the earth is in is clear with it’s bent knees and flexed arms . The attitude of the subjects on the earth are similar to that of people on actual earth, happy as they ignore the distress that they put earth through . The amount of people on the earth itself and the attitude of the earth displays the overpopulation and the difficulties it creates for us and the earth .</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In our society we like to split things into normal and abnormal. While this is usually harmless or needed, for example murder is abnormal for a reason, it can at times be harmful. This is when the thing that is “ abnormal” is harmless and does not affect anyone and yet it is scrutinized, ridiculed, and sometimes gets people killed. Some examples of dangerous society norms would be sexuality, gender, and body modifications. </span></div>

People will still stop and stare in disgust or judgementally when they see someone with tattoos and such. This is an example of something “abnormal” that honestly affects no one but the person who has done it to their own body yet people still feel it necessary to “help” these people by going on about how they shouldn't of done this. Popular beliefs are that they do this for attention and that no one will ever hire them.</span></div>

He is a Canadian model and actor though he is mostly know for tattooing 80% of his body like a living skeleton. In the picture above the focus is on Genest and his tattoos as well as the words themselves. Genest is show from two different angles, obviously to show off the tattoos on his body. As for Genest himself he is comfortable and confident. His body is neither stiff nor folding in on itself. He is displaying himself and his tattoos proudly and he is obviously not ashamed of them. You can tell that he is content with his choice to tattoo his body. As for the words themselves they read “I didn’t do this to be different. I did this, because i wanted to be me”. This is a direct quote from Genest. Many people get tattoos and body modifications because it makes them feel comfortable; they often use this as a way of self expression. I believe the body is a blank canvas and that you can choose what to do with. However people often ostracise and isolate these people because that is not something they themselves would do to their own body. People often deem someone with tattoos as unprofessional and unable to do a job because people think that they are impulsive and unable to think ahead. This can be true but it’s incorrect to think it always is. Again use Rick Genest as an example: he is a professional model. Modeling is a serious career and you can’t be unprofessional or rash and be able to make it in such a career. Yet people still judge someone based on their looks before seeing if they are competent and it stops people from being able to make a living. This is why this perception can be dangerous and harmful to many people.</span></div>

Now i don’t mean sexism though that is a problem: in this instance i am referring to someone disregarding another person's gender identity. Now you may be familiar with transexual people but if not i will clarify a transexual person is a person who feels they were born in the wrong body. Essentially their physical sex doesn't match up with who they feel in their heart they are. Now I’m sure some of you are thinking “no your genitals tell you what gender you are” and that is where the problem lies. </span></div>

The child is obviously upset and it seems as if the child will begin to cry as for the father he is focused and angry. You can tell by his furrowed brows and the slight downward curve of his mouth. While the mother she is standing back. She is sad and likely feels bad for her child but she will not step in. The words say “refuse to be your child's first bully”. Wings often symbolise freedom and the child in the photo is having their wings removed. The parents are removing the child's wings and taking a part of themself from the child. Likely you feel an impact from this picture however the true impact is shown with the colours in the wings. The wings are coloured to represent the transexual pride flag. The child in this photo is transexual and is having this part of themself taken because of their parents. That in itself is a form of abuse and bullying as they are denying an important part of the child. This is where that not respecting someone's gender identity part comes in. The child's parents do not respect their child's gender identity and instead feel it necessary to destroy a part of their child than to accept them. Many people feel that transexuals are just being rebellious or want to stand out. People believe there is no such thing as transexuality and feel it is a new “fad”. However evidince of transexual people can date back as far as ancient Greece.</span></div>

The character in the comic is being assaulted by female pronouns. They are suffocating him and crushing him under their weight and despite how much he runs or hides they are still there. In the fifth panel he attempts to correct them. He is tentative and frightened however in the final panel the words return full force and are surrounding him. They are taking up the entire panel and suffocating him until there is no space left for him. These words take up the entire panel to the point where he is no longer the focus and no longer important. Not only that but the large “she” has two exclamation points as the person saying this is forcibly attempting to tell the character he is a girl. The progression of the previous panel with him correcting them to the last shows that he feels no matter how hard he fights back he will always be surrounded by people who say he is a girl. This perception that society has of your genitalia determining your gender is not only incorrect but dangerous. It is dangerous for these individuals as they suffer the onslaught of people saying they are wrong, disrespecting them, calling them disgusting, vile. Many trans youths do not see a way out and 41% of transgender youth in the US alone have attempted suicide. Not only that but due to many peoples violent reactions transgender people have even been assaulted in the doctor's office. Many trans men are raped and many trans women are violently killed. 1 in 12 transgender people in the US are murdered due to the societal belief that they are less than human. Worthless. Many transexual people lose friends and family and 18% are homeless. An example: recently this year the salvation army refused to let a transexual teen stay at one of their shelters simply because they were transexual and because of that the teen froze to death. That is why this belief is so dangerous. Just like with tattoos even if you do not agree; a person's decision is their own and you have no right to impose on them; much less to end their life. </span></div>

Cisgendered is a term created to refer to a person to whom identifies as the sex they were born with. This perception is also often coupled with the perception that everyone is born straight. These perceptions are the entire reason people even need to “come out of the closet” as the saying goes. Much like with transexual people people will say that being any sexuality other than straight is disgusting and unnatural.</span></div>

If you look closely at the triangle you will see the outline of a swastika. The swastika as we all know is a symbol from the holocaust. Something i’m sure quite a few of you know is that the pink triangle was placed onto gay people hitler rounded up and placed into concentration camps. A bit of information conveniently left out is that in many cases when the camps were freed the gay people in them were forced to go to jail as at the time being gay was illegal. So not only did they endure years of the torture we have all heard about but once they were “freed” they were placed in jail to suffer more. The triangle appears to be attached to something or someone but it is unclear as to who. Rather it floats in black space continuously attached to something as if it is always attached to those in the gay community; those prejudices and that hatred always with them. People will ask me and others why we care so much; why we fight so hard. The answer is the above triangle that represents so many peoples past and present suffering. The gay community has reclaimed the pink triangle since then; made it a symbol of pride but the prejudice is still there. This triangle is proof of how dangerous these perceptions are because this triangle represents the torture and death of hundreds from then and now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To conclude while I’ll agree that sometimes we need to dictate what is normal and what is not I don’t believe people who are not harming anyone deserve to be harmed themselves. I do not believe in isolating these people and I do not believe they deserve the mental, physical, verbal, sexual, and emotional abuse they face. </span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679386605303180515.post-26267049817207039962015-01-13T16:52:00.002-08:002015-01-13T16:53:58.899-08:00Does Anyone Really Win? The Aftermath of War.<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Since the beginning of time, war has been present in all civilizations. There are many different reasons for war like; food, land, power, money, and since the 20th century, oil. The results of these wars have been catastrophic to say the least. Many soldiers and civilians from both sides have been caught in the cross fire. The 9/11 attack started a chain of events that still cripple this nation and the world today.</span><br />

This is a photo taken at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. Mostly everyone will remember this cause of the terrorist bombing that occurred at the finish line costing the lives of a few people and the injury of many more (In the hundreds). Two terrorists whom had some ties to middle eastern terror organizations set off the attack with 2 pressure cooker bombs. After a 4 day manhunt one suspect was shot and killed while the other was captured in Watertown, Massachusetts. The United States was under attack because of the war against terror. It traumatized everyone that a person would hurt so many innocent people.<br />

Last year the world found out who Boko Haram was. This terrorist group was responsible for kidnapping hundreds of school girls because of the fact they were girls and they were in school, The terror organization is a group with Islamic beliefs. It took months before the United States and Canada decided to go into the country officially. There was word of Special Forces in the country within the first week of the kidnapping but that was never confirmed. The girls were eventually either sold or killed by the terrorist group. Many people have lost their lives to this terrorist group and no one has done anything about it. Our country as well as the U.S but still hardly anything has been done.<br />

This photo was taken in Paris during the terrorist attack a short while ago. The attack on the newspaper cost the lives of 12 people and 11 others were injures. The suspect have known ties to Al-Qaeda. The two suspects split up after the attack and 2 days later, both at different locations, took hostages. French special forces raided both locations and deescalated the situation. some of the hostages lost their lives because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, Because of the war on terror and the back and forth fighting, the Terrorists are starting to fight back hard all around the world and the fighting is just escalating to a point where so many people forget why they're fighting. So many people died of the past decade to the point where people realize that no one will win, many more will just die and the war will always go on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679386605303180515.post-84865872347728057552015-01-13T12:06:00.000-08:002015-01-19T11:39:50.867-08:00The most important discovery of mankind.<span id="docs-internal-guid-2e74bcfc-e4a4-affe-2ee3-974a44e61cad"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In the world today, scientists are often talking about what they think is the most beneficial discovery to mankind.

In this blog, I will use four images to prove that medicine is the most important discovery and that it will continue to be the most important for a long time to come.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is a sculpture of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. The most predominant theory is that the snake is used for the fact that all snakes shed their skin and have a new skin grow which can show rejuvenation and the venom of the snake symbolizing death. The staff is symbolic of the walking stick of the physician who is often travelling in the ancient times and now a days, the physician who is travelling by ambulance. The snake is actually supposed to be an aesculapian snake which is non-venomous and was the image that the ancient hospitals were built around. These hospitals would actually have these snakes living in the building and crawling around on the floor in between the patients. The snakes on a staff is still a prominent image in the medical industry today. Also, the attitude of the sculpture is positive which shows that medicine is a good thing to continue to develop because it will help people. This proves that medicine is the most beneficial discovery of mankind.</span><br />

Most medicine is used in order to help make you healthy when you have from a common cold to sicknesses as devastating as cancer or malaria. There is also another type of medicine that most people take every day in order to help boost their immune system and even get you some of the necessary nutrients into your body. These are vitamins. Some people take vitamins every day and some only take them around flu season or when they are feeling like they have a pre cold. There are also different ways in order to get medicine into your body. Medicines taken by the mouth are the most common type of medicine takes ie. pills, inhalers and liquid medicine. Pills are the most commonly used of these but this does not mean that they are the most effective way at stopping whatever you are trying to cure or prevent. For instance, asthma is a relatively common thing for people to have but they don’t take pills in order to help with an asthma attack, they would use their inhaler. All of these different types of medicine show how people believe that medicine is an important study to continue to develop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Not many people can honestly say that they are a fan of needles, they are pointy and feel really weird and can, in some cases, really hurt. But now, researchers at MIT are making a new way to get medicine into your body, through a pill that is made out of acrylic with 5mm long hollow needles covering the pill in order to get the medicine into the body that you cannot ingest and would therefore have to have a needle to get into you. This pill is covered in a ph sensitive coating that when it reaches that ph, dissolves and allows the medicine to go through the needles and into your bloodstream. In tests on pigs, the pill was filled with insulin in order to reduce the levels of glucose in the blood of these pigs and it reduced the levels throughout the whole body in less time than through an injection. The team of researchers are now working on a way for the movements of the digestive system to squeeze the medication out of the pill. They are also working on an alternative method that the needles will be made out of degradable polymers and sugar so that the needles will break off in your digestive tract and will release the medicine while they disintegrate inside of you.

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Your doctor is someone that you should trust. They will always know what is best for you when you are sick or when you have </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17.25px; white-space: pre-wrap;">injured yourself in some other way ie. a broken bone or surgery. The amount of people that doctors help in a year is the main reason why medicine is the most beneficial discovery. In this image, you can see through the attitude of the patient that he is happy that he has his doctor to help him through whatever he needs while he is hurt or sick. This point is shown especially through elderly people because they are more fragile than younger people and because of this, are more prone to injury. The doctor is also smiling showing that he is happy to help his patient. In the doctor's hands, he has an envelope which we can assume is the medicine that he is giving to the older man. This medicine could be for anything from the common cold to arthritis and for this reason, medicine is the most beneficial innovation to continue to develop to this day.</span></span></div>

This image is clearly someone speaking out against the stereotype that gays (lesbians etc.) are hated by Christians which is most definitely false. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Christians do not accept the homosexual lifestyle but that doesn't mean we hate homosexuals. There are some 'Christians' that display hateful, and judgemental behaviour; but that doesn't mean that all Christians are like that.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I feel that the overall message of this image is that just because Christians are not supporters of homosexuality, does not mean that homosexuals are hated by the Christian community.</span></div>

When I look at this picture I notice that each side is very different. Two different groups of people, and to different beliefs.This image shows the desperation of the two conflicting groups struggling to have the upper hand. which in some cases is true. But really; Christians do believe in science. Maybe not the creation of the world, or evolution but Christians do believe in science. There are Christian Biologists, Chemists, Doctors, and even more things that have <u>A LOT</u> to do with science. I think the main idea of this image is that Christians hate science which is completely untrue.</div>

<img src="http://www.keepcalmstudio.com/_gallery/300/VAdO4b.png" /> Many People Think That Christians are restricted by their religion and cant have fun which is very wrong. The very fact that someone made this image shows me that this is a common stereotype that Christians are labelled as . Everyone has their own opinion of what fun is, some people think reading is fun or doing sports. What one person considers boring someone else can think it is the most fun thing in the world. The overall message really sticks out to me when I look at this image. The overall message is that Christians are just like everyone else, only difference is that they have different beliefs.</div>

The accompanying frame includes his friends and family who have ‘joined’ him in prison implying that the American incarceration rate is on the rise. As of December 31st, 2013 there were 1.57 million inmates who sat behind bars in federal state, and county prisons. Per 100,000 people in America, 707 are incarcerated. Tone is used in this image by the illustrator to demonstrate the ridiculous increase of prisoners in America. </span></div>

On Tuesday December 8th, Ohio man Kwame wept after a judge cleared all charges against him at age 57. This demonstrates complication because an innocent man had spent 27 years of his life in prison for a murder he did not commit while the person who did commit the crime was running free. Further proving that America is not necessarily a land of the ‘free’ if someone has to spend a great portion of their life in prison for something they did not commit.</span></div>

The 3 strike law increases the prison sentences of someone who has previously been convicted of two or more felonies. A person with 2 previous, less spiteful charges, such as stealing a bike and littering can go to jail for 25 years to life if they are convicted of a third felony, no matter how severe. This clashes against the perception America has as being known as the land of the ‘free’ and contributes to the increasing prison population. Irony is demonstrated throughout this law and image because the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Someone who has committed these lesser felonies should be sentenced to probation and rehabilitation not added to the already overpopulated prison system that America has created by enforcing these absurd laws.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 20px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>

In order for people to cope with these challenges, different tools have been created or used in order for one to escape reality. The tools that I will be discussing today are: the invention of the CBC radio, Jake Sully's avatar linking process from the movie Avatar, and alcohol. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">The first example of a distraction tool is invention of the CBC radio in Canada, during the 1930’s, or in other words the great depression. The great depression began shortly after the “roaring 20’s”, in 1929, during the crash of the Wall street market, leaving many Canadians unemployed and miserable. There was a need for occupying citizens time, thus the birth of the CBC radio occurred, serving a purpose of distraction and hope during a time of desperation. The image of a family gathered around a radio displays this message, as the composition of the way each family member is sitting closely together, both father and mother holding young children close, on their laps. This shows how listening to the radio is sacred family time, as the radio is a force that brings the family together. The family is also huddled around to what seems to be the corner of the room, staring at the radio, eagerly awaiting to hear of a saving grace to end another grueling day. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another detail that sticks out is the man who appears to be the father, holding his two sons. The father is covered in dirt on his hands and face, as he may have just come home from work, to come and spend this sacred family time together, sitting around the radio. Because along with the depression came job loss, the father looks as if he is working hard at keeping his job in a coal mine, so that he would be able to somewhat support his family. The radio serves a purpose of helping the man become distracted from the difficult work lifestyle he faces everyday. Through the seating composition of the family, and the hard working father, this demonstrates how he uses the radio as a tool to escape the challenging realities of the depression. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">Secondly, the character Jake Sully from the movie Avatar, demonstrates how he feels the need to live outside a body of his own. As he is in a wheelchair, he is paralyzed from the hip below, due to being hit by a grenade on his mission while serving as a marine. In the first image, Jake is surrounded by other members in the army, heavy machinery, vehicles etc… By him being restricted to a wheelchair, he cannot do much compared to his other team members. In this scene, Jake is looking around through all the busyness, to search for something he could help with or be a part of.</span></div>

Since they had the same DNA, Jake accepted this fate, as he was required to take control of a new, fully functional, avatar in another world. In the second picture, Jake has woken up from from the linking process to his avatar, his face shocked and amazed at the sight of working, healthy legs and feet. This is shown through the overall expression of his face, as his mouth hangs open, eyes fixated on his new feet, and how he spreads his legs far apart. When the linking process is done and Jake returns to his human body, he craves for more time with working legs and feet, so he, makes multiple trips hooking up to his avatar, until he makes the decision one day to stay as an avatar for the rest of his life. Through this process of Jake hooking up to his avatar, it shows how he uses the avatar to escape the challenging life of a handicapped person, knowing that he will never return as a fully functioning human again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lastly, the character Haymitch Abernathy demonstrates how alcohol is another escapism tool, as his character is identified by his severe drinking problem. Haymitch was crowned victor of the 50th Hunger Games, and is now Katniss and Peeta’s mentor, two individuals chosen to fight in the Games. As Haymitch, Katniss, and Peeta leave their home (in District 12) by train, for training in the Capitol city of Panem, Haymitch is found drinking several times throughout the day. This scene is during the train ride where he is describing the Games to Katniss and Peeta. Haymitch has a blank, expressionless face when looking at his drink, holding his glass up in the air, showing an implicit message of the alcoholic drink having a greater, controlling power over him. He is surrendering to the alcohol, as it became a coping mechanism for him over the years. Since facing the deathtrap arena at the Games, he now lives with the traumatic nightmares and thoughts of killing </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">others, and watching others brutally attacked and killed, in order for him to spare his own life. As he is provoking this patch in his mind that he does not want to enter, he stares at his glass and awaits for the moment when he can drown his sorrows again. You might all be asking, why is he still so upset after he won the Games? Well, as the winner of the Hunger Games, you DO become untouchable. It is like winning the lottery, as you're given a new house in the higher end of town, an endless food supply, money etc… Yet despite this new luxurious lifestyle, the trauma it not far trailing behind, as Haymitch tells Katniss before she faces her own battles in the arena: “ you never really win”, as life after the games only puts you in misery, as you're constantly haunted for the rest of your life. Thus, alcohol helps mute the pain and trauma Haymitch has been dealing with over the years, a tool of escaping the reality he wished he never lived, just like the working father in the first image. Haymitch relies on the tool of drinking because he knows he will never be the same, also like Jake Sully from the previous image. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion, challenges approach people everyday, whether 80 years ago, or today. The way that people cope with these challenges vary to how different ones circumstance is, and to what tools they are available to them.

A computer holds specific files, data and memory depending on the computer, just as a human mind has memories and thoughts different from another mind. Each mind is unique and different which makes a personal an individual. Society is like a computer hacker; they pick through all the contents of the computer until they have exactly what they want. For most computers, the way to begin accessing the contents is to use three keys on a keyboard; control, alternate and delete. Overtime, an individuals self worth has been warped and mutated to fit both a physical and mental image of what we call today's society, specifically a woman’s body image. This is done through control, alternate and delete.</span></div>

Over the past seventy years the perfect woman has changed to fit society's standards and expectations. In the nineteen forties and fifties, Marilyn Monroe, a model and an actress, was idolised for her beauty and she was considered the “perfect woman”. She was considered perfect because she was not a stick. She had curves and was confident about them, which is evident through the way she stands with her head held high and a big smile to match. She was happy with who she was and she did not let society control who she was, she controlled herself. She is a timeless role model because of this.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">If we fast forward seventy years, we see models that look like this. Society over the past seventy years has warped and mutated what they believe real beauty is. They have created this idea that women need to be stick thin to be beautiful. This model has extremely thin legs and arms, and a very tiny waist. Does she look happy to you? I would say that she is not happy because her facial expression does not show happy or confident, her facial expression shows a blank look. She fits into the fashion world,a place where one has little control over their body, and this is the kind of woman that is portrayed in advertising that is around us everyday. We see women that look like this on television, in advertisements, clothing store mannequins and even kids toys like Barbies. Once a woman feels that she is not beautiful without having a thin body, society has the been able to have the control that they want.</span></div>

After society gains control over the mind, it is easier to alter an individual's thoughts and feelings. As humans, we feel the need to be accepted by others at one point in our lives and we choose to change in order to feel that acceptance. Once this happens, there can be two major repercussions. The first major repercussion is changing body image by vigorously exercising and a crazy amount of dieting with a lot of determination, which is a healthier option. </span></div>

This woman is determined to change her body image by working hard, which is evident through her clenched teeth and closed eyes as she lifts weights. Working hard to get what you want is not bad, it is a healthy way to feel confident in yourself. Is it okay to want to feel good about how you look? Of course it is, but changing who you are to have the approval of someone else is not okay. </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, the second major repercussion of society altering the mind is not a healthy option. Throughout the past while, anorexia has become more common due to the fact that women feel the need to have a perfect body. Instead of exercising and maintaining a healthy diet, they do not eat. </span></div>

She looks uncomfortable and ashamed by the way that she holds her hands together close to her chest. This is further demonstrated by the look of concern and disappointment that linger in her eyes. We can see that she is extremely thin, but she sees herself as a girl that society does not approve of. On the other hand is it wrong for a female to have a body shape like the girl in the mirror? No, bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and we are all meant to look different. This proves that once society has control over the mind, it can alter a person from the inside out.</span></div>

Imagine a world without pressure to look a certain way. This image from the campaign literally shows real beauty; women of all different shapes and sizes. The women in this image are all posing and smiling as they show off the different body types that they all have. How did they become so happy with who they are? They took CONTROL of their thoughts, they decided to be confident in who they are and not let anyone ALTER them, and they did not DELETE who they truly are, but rather accept themselves. That is real beauty!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion, our minds are similar to computers; every one a little bit different from another but built to do the same thing. Most computers only allow access to contents by pressing control, alternate and delete on the keyboard. Society is like a computer hacker trying to discover all the contents of the computer until they get what they want. Today, society tries to convince women what their body should look like by slowly controlling and altering the mind until an individual lives up to society's expectations and completely abandons the person they once were.

Weather it be sliding down banisters, dating celebrities, or wearing sandals in the House of Commons, there was always some ‘fuddle duddle’ controversy Trudeau was causing. Perhaps the most memorable was on May 7, 1977, when Trudeau did a pirouette behind the back of Queen Elizabeth the II, captured in the image above. In the image, we see the moxy of the prime minister, and how he doesn’t seem to care that he has disrespected the monarch. The rawness of the moment is perfectly captured, with Trudeau in mid pirouette, as well as the reflecting lights in the mirror behind the Queen. These lights represent the clash of the old imperialist attitudes, and the more realistic modern day nationalist ideologies, which stood out strongly during the Trudeau reign, much like how the lights stick out in the photo. Ultimately, Trudeau, his crazy antics, and sometimes ignorant personality, allowed Canada to being an exciting hotbed for politics during the 70’s and 80’s.</span></div>

A drunk who wanted to form Canada single handedly. His reputation and importance in Canada are highly debated, but no one can deny that Sir John was a character. This photo above might be just a portrait, but I believe that it is so much more than that. This photo captures the simplicity of Canada, and how Sir John was just a man who believed that it could be developed into becoming a great nation. In this photo, Sir John’s head is tilted to the side in an almost cheeky manner, a dramatic contrast to the typical rigid, cold, stern portraits of politicians before him. This photo belies his personality, and the individualism he brought to Canadian politics. You can see the wild man behind the formation of this country, and what excitement he brought to it almost one hundred and fifty years ago. </span></div>

Turner, a man who was outdated and rusty on being a progressive and modern day leader, called an election in September. He found himself face to face with Brian Mulroney, a forward thinking Conservative who was a successful business man that focused on economics. The televised debate of the two leaders was mostly uneventful, until Mulroney brought up the Patronage Appointments, which were left over from Trudeaus reign. Turner insisted that he had no other option but to keep these appointments, but Mulroney blew up on Turner, telling him “You had an option, sir!” and continued to passionately argue about the topic, leaving Turner a mumbling mess. </span></div>

Mulroney is poised in a confident stance, firmly pointing at Turner, who in return is meekly attempting to shadow his opponent. Mulroney has the literal upper hand, with his hand powerfully bearing overtop of Turners out of pure passionate confidence in what he is saying. </span></div>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;">Canadian politics has also seen it’s fair share of wacky incidents as well, such as the ‘Shawinigan Handshake’. On February 15, 1996; the first National Flag day in Canada, Prime Minister Jean Chretien addressed the crowd, but was soon heckled by anti poverty activists. As Chretien made his way through the crowd after the ceremony had ended, he was approached by activist Bill Clennett, and the scene in this photo was executed. Chretien grabbed Clennett by the neck, threw him to the ground. The RCMP did not interfere, as they believed there was no serious threat to the Prime Minister. For so many years, Canada had been to most of the world, a peaceful, low-key, under the radar country. This image portrays an angry, aggressive, leader, of what is supposed to be a moderate country. The chokehold represents a change from that moderate policy, to one of a more forceful player on the world scene.</span></div>

Although the death penalty was abolished in 1976 there have been talks recently about bringing it out of "retirement" for extreme crimes. Hearing of this I decided to look into capital punishment for myself and came to the conclusion that the death penalty is far too absolute for the fallible court system of north america. Here is proof:<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-0650e46b-cabc-444c-5a21-0c3f4a3600be"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img height="400" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/4QmlKthajHvLuPRQsLAgNs3hufKPhjzsUWCNPYqOeH48lZwzRSkPMNK3IEgHLRNfhNGqnGoh1dcH4Hu-DCg74GED8hHRj-pGreKdFiB8gjAqaMrhyi4rNfbcYtFNW1yAZA" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="365" /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">At first glance you notice that this is set in a court room and is about the death penalty, as shown by the coffin and the book on the judge's stand. The next thing I noticed is the name "Larry Griffin" written on the coffin, I had to look him up and I assume that most of you will too so I will save you the trouble: Larry Griffin was a 19-year old African American who was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in 1995 but was later found innocent when the case was re-opened in 2005. The cartoon is sarcastically poking fun at the situation with the words "the good news is you've got a new trial..." as (to be blatantly obvious) he is dead and it does not matter. In the background there is a book on the stand with the title "death penalty" as it is the only book on the stand it gives the message that the court is too quick to give the death penalty. The main idea of the photo is that the man was proven innocent after the case, the author used a coffin to portray him to highlight the fact that he is dead. This brings up the point that if he was given a prison sentence that the case could be overturned, however since he is dead this is irrelevant. Showing that the death penalty is too absolute for our court systems.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This next photo is a much more graphic and much more literal depiction of the "one small problem with the death penalty. The image shows a sloppy looking overweight man with an over sized axe who has been labeled "the state" trying to kill a man on a chopping block labeled the guilty, but instead ends up killing the innocent then shrugging it off as a mistake. This cartoon is very obviously saying that the death penalty is too often killing innocent people. Strangely enough there are no exact numbers to how many innocent people have been killed by capital punishment, and looking online I have found statistics anywhere from 79% of executed people being innocent to 4% being innocent. Believe whichever statistic you want but the cartoon still raises the valid point that it is not just criminals being killed by the death penalty. The other interesting theme worth noting is the colors of the characters. Usually in cartoons the darker a character is made to be, the more evil he is depicted as in the cartoon. In this cartoon the executioner is almost the exact color if not darker, and more evil than the guilty. The next thing in the cartoon is the body language of the characters. The guilty man doesn't seem to have much going on, almost seeming accepting of the whole thing. The state has his head turned over his shoulder but is made not to seem at all concerned or apologetic towards the innocent as he is still in position to kill the guilty and not paying much attention. The innocent is the most important, the look on his face and in his body is shock, he is surprised to find out that he is the one being killed, and the cartoonist uses this to show how the innocent thought the execution was to protect them but is instead killing them. This cartoon does a great job using texts, shading, and the positions of the characters to depict that the death penalty is too absolute of a punishment for our fallible court system.</span><br />

This image is possibly my favorite image with a blunt delivery and easily understandable slogan that is effective in what is was set out to do. The center of the image is of a mans neck that appears to be stitched back on and just below that is in bold letters "Death has no appeal". The image then talks about how "almost 70 states worldwide still apply the death penalty. The European Union is fighting to put an end to this practice. This simple yet powerful theme is an exaggeration meaning that "you can release an innocent man from prison, but you can't bring an innocent man back from the dead" or in this case stitch his head back on. This idea is backed up by the words "death has no appeal" and for those of you who don't know an appeal is when a convicted criminal requests a higher court of law to reverse the decision made by a lower court. This phrase is a reinforcement of the idea of not being able to raise the dead after the death penalty has been administered. This image reinforces the thesis I came up with by saying that courts sometimes convict the wrong person, and when this happens it can be solved through an appeal, but with the death penalty it is irreversible. Showing once again that the death penalty is too absolute of a punishment for our fallible court system.<br />

This image is a prime example of how the justice system can be fallible. It will never be 100% correct and there will always be human error and bias. This photo uses the happiness and joy shown in the people to portray the fault in the death penalty. If this man was sentenced to death there would be no reunion. The main idea of this photo is that although the justice system makes mistakes, they can be corrected, but the death penalty cannot be overturned through appeal or withdrawn like the life sentence Mr. McCallum received. Thus proving that the death penalty is too absolute of a punishment for our fallible court system.</span></div>

Three of these images show that the innocent man often gets killed and blatantly point out through coffins and stitches that these people are gone and cannot be brought back, however one image goes about this in a different way by showing the happiness and joy that comes when a man is finally given what he deserves and is able to resume his life once again. The fourth story is the story that could have happened in the case of Larry griffin and many others who "couldn't appeal from death". Finally proving that the death sentence is too absolute of a punishment for our fallible court system and should never be brought back into Canada.</span><br />

But there is something in particular that stands out and that is friendship. Friendship helps make people feel positive, and it makes their lives happier through the different connections. The 3 types of friendship that I am going to focus on are:</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1. How the friendship between family and friends influence happiness.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">2. How friendship with animals help influence happiness</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">3. How the friendship in a relationship and falling in love influences happiness</span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><u><b>Family & Friends</b></u></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The people in your family have been there from the start. They are the people you have grown up with and have helped influence you into the person you are today. There is an obvious friendship that has happened during this time and a bond. There are many similarities and differences between family members, but at the end of the day there is an unspoken fact that you all love each other. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With friends, there is a more obvious friendship. You can pick your friends! And most of the time you pick someone who has similar interests to you .</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the picture as you can see it is a group of friends making silly poses at the gym, obviously doing a workout.</span> </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/8qAsFLL2WjV3EMOd5iulbj7IvPZCO33VFMU3SbzKucRIDiAirpr7IAt578ELfycPb8uCgxcPalq0ObKLzkbcyz6hOGIM_vVXQ-OA27ky87PXgBwNDf0xnO1EwYnY38w2jA" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/8qAsFLL2WjV3EMOd5iulbj7IvPZCO33VFMU3SbzKucRIDiAirpr7IAt578ELfycPb8uCgxcPalq0ObKLzkbcyz6hOGIM_vVXQ-OA27ky87PXgBwNDf0xnO1EwYnY38w2jA" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="320" /></a><span id="docs-internal-guid-8a68c15f-df61-fbab-1c1a-f517ae468cd1"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is proving that you can maintain a healthy lifestyle, while also having fun with your loved ones. There is a quote “a good mood is just a workout away”, and it is very true. Although they might be tiring, you are working out your muscles and getting your endorphins flowing (which makes you happier!). Working out may not be for everyone, but there are so many variations of it, that everyone has one exercise that they don't mind. Plus it is so much easier when you can share the experience with a loved one. It is bonding time and you can motivate</span><span style="background-color: #fff9e5; font-size: 11px; white-space: nowrap;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">each other. From my experience I always like the group exercise classes because they are fun, and you can make friends within it. But if I am going to do a workout at the gym, I go with my friend or one of my cousins, because they keep me inspired! We have a common interest, so we share it and help each other.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-8a68c15f-df61-fbab-1c1a-f517ae468cd1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: blue;">
</span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is just one of the examples of the many common interests that you can share with your loved ones. It could be writing, watching movies, </span><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">scrap booking</span><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">, music etc. Working out has a more obvious affect on your health, but just spending time with </span><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">someone</span><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you care about can help boost your mood and make you happier.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

Since each of them is standing close to each other it means there is a trust and comfort with one another. Being with friends can make one forget their troubles because it is a support system. Whether the friendship is between friends or family members. Having people to trust and have fun with is a definite factor for influencing one’s happiness. People and communication are needed to stay happy. Days where you can enjoy yourself at the beach, and be silly posing for pictures, are breaks that are needed. A day off with people you care about helps boost and maintain happiness</span></span></span><br />

Positive people in your life is a big one. But sometimes you don't need a person, but an animal. There is a special bond and friendship between a dog and its owner that cannot be replaced. A dog will love you unconditionally, and only see you for your good. I have a dog named Hudson and he is like a big polar bear. He just loves, love. A dog changes our behaviour and makes us act in a more positive way. My Dad, who likes to think he is all tough, becomes a softy when he sees my dog.</span></span></b></div>

It can help them live longer, help with depression, and make you smile more. I know I sure do! There is no better feeling than coming home to such a happy face to greet you at the door. Knowing they have missed you every minute you were gone. Pets just want to love and be loved.</span></span></b></div>

The ones between friends, family members, animals, and then there is also a type of friendship when falling in love. The new beginnings of a relationship are an exciting time when you’re just starting to get to know the person. But the relationships that last </span><span style="color: red;">are the ones that develop a friendship, while maintaining a relationship. After a while of building this trust and connection with the person, you might find yourself falling in love. Some interesting and natural things happen to your brain when this is happening. Higher levels of </span><span style="color: red;">chemicals in your brain called neurotransmitters produce</span><span style="color: red;"> do</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: red;">pamine</span>, phenylethylamine and oxytocin. All these are feel good chemicals that act similar to the high you get from drugs. So not only does falling</span><span style="color: red;"> in love make you just feel happy, there are actual things happening to your brain that help boost your happiness!</span> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span></span></b></span></div>

It's wonderful seeing a new place and getting a change of atmosphere (and weather!). It can really improve your happiness level. Travelling is a break from your everyday problems and you can focus on new things. When travelling with someone, you can share that experience, which is a great way to bring 2 people closer. An example of a cool travelling experience for couples is </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;"><em>Pont de l'Archevêché</em> in Paris</span>.</span></span></span></div>

As you can see I picked this picture because the big red heart stands out in the middle. A heart is a symbol for love so I think it symbolizes what makes this bridge unique. Another is the different shapes of the locks. It shows how no 2 relationships are the same, just <span style="color: red;">like the locks, they are all unique.</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: red;">Overall, falling in love has a great effects on your health. Hopefully if in a happy relationship, you will be smiling a lot which keeps your mood up. The friendship between a couple helps them stay in love, so it is needed for the relationship to last.</span> </span></span></span></b><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Overall there are many different aspects to improving your happiness. But I feel the main one is through friendship. Friendship through Family, Friends, Couples and even animals! All these things and more can create a happier and more positive life for you. Whether it's the psychological effect, the health benefits or just by smiling and laughing until your stomach hurts. Friendship is well needed to maintain and improve your happiness.</span></div>

Banksy’s signature rat is looking back at the words with his one paw covered in red paint. The rat represents people that feel misunderstood and powerless in society. Banksy uses sarcasm to help capture his viewers attention, graffiti is illegal which reveals the hidden message that graffiti can change something. It shows how one person expressing themselves can lead to other people realizing the problems we have within our society. This painting is demonstrating how our laws restrict us from seeing the real issues. This is what I believe Banksy wants us to think about when we see his painting, he hopes it lights a spark in all of us to stand up for what we believe and that change is misunderstood. Banksy addresses our cruel laws and restricted freedom that we choose to ignore. For example, graffiti is vandalism and therefore our freedom of expression is limited. </span></div>

Where her head is supposed to be there is a splash of red paint to look like blood.This red paint then turns into red butterflies. Next to the girl the words “Suicide is illegal because its a crime to destroy government property” are written in red. The butterflies symbolize freedom from the government. This is because Bansky clearly believes that the government considers people its property. This picture symbolizes that laws and government of her society once owned her life and by destroying herself she became free from limitations. Bansky again makes us realize an issue we've been ignoring and that issue is how controlled our society is by politics. </span></div>

Over top of those words are the words “CANCELLED” written in white, all uppercase lettering in a rectangle box with a red background. This picture signifies that the desire of one’s dreams has been cancelled. The viewer is subjected to a harsh reality that the limitations within society can have a large impact on one’s decisions, future, and life. I think Banksy meant this piece to be controversial. This shows how the realization that your dreams can not be fulfilled is very disappointing and abrupt. </span></div>

Personally, I find it interesting that Banksy doesn't sign his work. In a way this art becomes the public’s art. Banksy is inspiring us to realize the reality that we are no longer free to follow our dreams. If the public, us, take some ownership of this piece, it gives us the power to remove the cancelled sign on our lives and create a new reality. </span></div>

This image is criticizing the way our government handles many issues. It seems as though the first world countries are always trying to dominate the others and intimidate them with weapons. Banksy is demonstrating that most conflicts the government is faced with are solved with threats and violence. This image is directed at the United states because political parties as well as some citizens are best known for being in love with the idea of war. Banksy has revealed how blind we are to the horror within our societies through graffiti. It also comments on how, although not all people agree with the way that our government handles things, we blindly follow the government as this is another example of how we are powerless in society.</span><br />

The image uses colour, lighting and, attitude of subject to communicate this message. The colour shows that the rider is a determined athlete because he is not letting the overcast skies stop him from performing at his best. This also shows that the rider is a risk taker because riding in overcast lighting is extremely dangerous and through this picture he is showing the viewers that he is a real extremist. The use of lighting in this image shows that the snowboarder enjoys showcasing his talents because he is performing his trick in the only beam of light in the sky so everyone is able to see him. The attitude of the subject is showing that he is a confident rider because you don't simply see someone doing a trick like this on a regular basis. Also the rider would have to have a cocky swagger amongst him because he is now showcasing himself to others and if he were to fall it would be extremely embarrassing. You can also tell the snowboarder is a very fit and adventurous rider because he is able to enjoy himself freestyling with out a terrain park, box or, rail. Also, the amount of physical strength it takes to pull off a trick like this is astounding; it requires a vast amount of core strength and balance. There are no rules to how an artist should paint his or hers masterpiece and the same applies to snowboarding; Snowboarding is a world that has yet be discovered and no matter how you approach it, every rider is free to express themselves in different ways. </span></div>

The image gives us the idea that athletes use attitude to express themselves. This image was taken as Ben crossed the line and he clearly knew he had won. Ben’s body language and strong posture clearly shows us that he is confident and proud as he holds up one finger to tell the world he is number one and the fastest man alive. The smirk on his face shows a sign of happiness and relief as the race is over and he beats his competitors. Ben also takes pride in representing Canada as he clearly does not cover the maple leaf on his jersey. He specifically places his bib under it. Wearing their short shorts help to show off their toned and muscular bodies . This also tells us that they are dedicated professional athletes. Finally, this picture leaves Canadians feeling proud!</span></div>

This image shows us that sports use clothing as expression. This is big in basketball. Basketball players always strive to play their best so fans will buy their apparel. They use it to gain popularity status. The better Kyle plays every fan will want to buy a number seven Toronto Raptor jersey. Also every player wears their own pro model shoe as advertising to showcase it for their fans to purchase. In this image we see Kyle’s jazzy patent leather shoe with red sole matching his team colours. So if fans buy a jersey now they have to buy the pro model shoe to match. The defender Deandre Jordan, in white shows us that he has a loud and colourful personality based on his choice of shoe colour. He is wearing all white with a very vibrant nike shoe allowing it to pop out on the court. The tattoo on his arm shows viewers that he likes to express himself outwards for everyone to see. He is probably not a private person. Number 17, Jonas is wearing all black compression tights and black and white modest shoes. This shows that he could be insecure and likes to be covered or simply could just be protecting himself from getting an injury due to his large size. Basketball is all about creating an image for themselves.</span></div>

This image shows us that sports uses power as expression. In this picture we see Serena returning a tennis ball with great strength. The viewer can see that by the way her feet are planted and how her muscles are flexing she is gearing up for a powerful return. The drive in her face show us that she is ready to explode power. This image is also powerful on another level. As she is a black, female sports athlete dominating the scene. She is a strong role model for other young women. Power just just come in strength!</span></div>

In the first image you can see that in skiing you do not have to do things the normal way you can be creative with it. Secondly you can see that in skiing you do not have to follow a certain path you can ski and do the obstacles that you want. Third in the image you can see that you are able to wear whatever you want to while skiing. And finally you are allowed to hit the features in the park that you want to hit. </span></div>

This is showing me that in skiing you are allowed to do what you want, you don't have to follow a certain rule or do things a certain way. I know this because in this photo The skier is sliding across the rail with his leg bent in a weird way and holding the base of his ski dping it differently than most others would do . The overall message in this photo is showing that in skiing you can use your imagination to do whatever you want, you do not have to do it the same as anyone else does. The body position in this photo helps to show that there is freedom in skiing because, The skier is not doing the slide the normal way everyone else would do it, he is being creative and adding his own personality to his tricks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">I think that this photo goes well with the freedom in skiing,In this image i noticed that there are two different ski tracks going down the mountain. In skiing you do not have to follow others you are allowed to go ski where you want to go, In the back country mountain skiing there are endless possibilities where you could go as well as the different lines to take.This is shown in this picture because the two ski tracks both go different and they both do different thing, if you are a more advanced skier you can take harder terrain and if you're more of a beginner you can do easier terrain.overall message of this photo is that there is freedom in skiing because you are able to create your own path down the hill instead of following someone else. In the Background of this photo you can see how the two ski tracks go in different directions because the freedom in skiing lets you discover your own path down the mountain. This image helps to show that there is freedom in skiing because the two ski tracks go in different directions.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">In this image I notice that the skiers are wearing very large sweaters and </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17.25px; white-space: pre-wrap;">snow pants</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">. in this image the idea present is that in skiing you are able to wear whatever you want. I know this because in this photo the two people are wearing very big clothing and most people would not want to wear outerwear this big. The overall message of this photo is that you have freedom in skiing, you are allowed to wear whatever you want to. That does not just limit you to wearing big clothing, it also lets the rider choose what colours they want to wear, as well as the skis, boots, bindings, helmet, goggles, that they want to wear. The colouring in this photo makes the baggy sweaters stand out, that is because they want everyone to know that you do not have to wear the normal things that others wear. This photo shows that you can wear anything that you want to wear.</span></span><br />

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">In this photo i see the Sochi Olympic slopestyle ski course where there are many different feature that the skier can hit. The idea that i found present in this photo is the freedom in skiing, in this photo you can see that there are many different features that the skier is able to hit. In skiing the rider is not limited to only hitting what the judges want them to hit, They are allowed to hit the features that are the most fun. The overall message in this image is the freedom in skiing and how the rider is able to do the features that he wants to do. in this image the rails symbolize freedom because the skier is allowed the pick the one he wants to do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion there is freedom in skiing in many different ways. You have freedom in how you hit features, What features you want to hit, Which trail to follow or to make your own, and how you dress.</span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679386605303180515.post-57197070021034656812015-01-12T15:14:00.001-08:002015-01-13T11:34:45.203-08:00Tattoos: A Body Modification or Expression?<span id="docs-internal-guid-cc90ff9f-e00b-59db-3bd7-6df7d03c46ae"></span><br />

Individuals are judged with the stereotype that piercings and tattoos portray. Yes tattoos do define who an individual is, but, this includes their stories, what they believe in etc.. Not all tattoos make someone a bad person. </span></span></div>

If you cannot approach someone how are you suppose to trust them. Someone we put a lot of our trust into is our doctors. They have our lives in their hands. A recent article explained that tattoos are becoming less </span><span style="line-height: 16px;">problematic in workplaces. Philadelphia's ZB Sports commented, "If I'd pass on [an individual] because of their tattoos, I'd be out a phenomenal employee" (Forbes, 2014).</span><span style="line-height: 1;"> The picture on your left shows a man who is in two positions. The attitude is shown within his stance as the image on the far left shows a concerning doctor that is willing to be of help: Verses the same man on the right slouched forward holding his belt. This demonstrates that even though this is the same man because of his tattoos he is seen as unapproachable. The irony is the photo itself: It is the exact same man but the only exception is his tattoos, would you not let him treat your health because of that?</span></span></span></div>

The picture on your right is a teacher-in-training that went viral through social media and was in the newspaper. The question that was asked was, “Would you let this woman teach your child?” (Daily Mail, 2014). The actions that were thrown at Charlotte Tumilty, age 26, were not the virtues stated previous. Instead they were the complete opposite. She was asked to cover all of her tattoos as the school did not want "kiddies getting encouraging signals about inking themselves at such a tender age" stated a teacher from the school in Hartlepool. </span><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Arial;"><span style="line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">The real question is why would you not if she was certified for the job: As stated above, if you did not hire someone based on their tatoos and </span><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">appearance</span><span style="line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you would be out a </span><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">phenomenal employee.</span></span><span style="color: #191919; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The picture on the upper left portrays conflict, a struggle between opposing forces, the stereotype tattoos bring and a teacher. The attitude within the Charlotte’s face is surprise. Why would someone deny her ability just because of her appearance?</span></div>

Of course not.The tattoos shown on this Veteran are not to make him look "bad ass" or "hardcore", instead their stories, they are his stories. The symbolism within this picture is his bare chest. He has been torn apart and stripped from the war, although he may have come home to a family he is left with nothing but his memories. Haunting memories, studies have shown that 20% of all Iraq soldiers suffer from PTSD, and 50% of them do not seek help. If you are going to give a Veteran a judgmental stereotype it should be "bad ass" and "hardcore" but not because of the tattoos on his body because of his bravery. His tattoos should have nothing to do with what he is capable of, instead they're the only thing keeping him and his stories sane.</span></div>

She makes millions of dollars and spends it on stupid things like tattoos right? Wait is that the same woman who has won the humanitarian award several times? Beat Breast Cancer? Adopted Children and looks after her own? Is a loving loyal wife? Visits places all around the world taking care of helpless children? It can't be! But as matter of a fact is it. Jolie's tattoos are not meaningless, as a matter of a fact she has 17 and each one has a special meaning - this also relates back to the Vets tattoos and his stories. The one on her shoulder is the longitude and latitude of each location her children and adopted children were born. She has a huge one on her back that she got done in Thailand to express her involvement with not only her child from Cambodia but also Cambodia itself. When asked about her tattoos, Jolie said, "Usually all my tattoos came at good times. A tattoo is something permanent when you've made a self discovery or something you've come to a conclusion about" (USA Today Interview, July 17, 2003). The real Angelina Jolie is shown within the right side of the collage, a loving mother for her five children, and a loving humanitarian who cares for many children around the world. Her tattoos do not make her vain and egotistic, she has depth, she shows meaning throughout her body.</span></span></span></div>

Each image includes a public figure that is thought of highly.</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;">Tattoos do not define who a person is as they are just expressing themselves through a piece of art. This piece of art should not be looked at negatively and be able to destroy what that person is capable of. </span></span></span></div>

The Manhattan project was a research and development project that made the first atomic bombs during world war two. These bombs were dropped in Japan and had catastrophic impacts. This is an image of a young child that was killed by one of these bombs. (The black on the kid is skin that was completely burnt by the bomb.) This bomb in total murdered 60 000 to 80 000 people. It is considered the world’s worst and most powerful weapon. It took 2 billion dollars (roughly 25.8 billion of today's dollars) and the world’s greatest minds to research and develop the technology behind them.

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">In contrast, we have nuclear technology to thank for the entire field of nuclear medicine, which is used in medical imaging, diagnosis and treatments of conditions like cancer. The left side of the image shows the scan from the patient showing they have cancer. This side of the image is black and red, the red indicating the growths. The scan gives off the feeling of death and sickness because of its overall darkness. The right side of the image portrays a patient undergoing nuclear medical imaging to check for metastases or cancer. The image is mostly white, with very little dark colours. The image gives off a feeling liveliness and health because of how bright it is. The image goes from the right dark image to the light left image, so death to life: sickness to health; meaning this technology is being used to save lives. Again the technology did not chose to do this, humans did. Humans decided to use the same technology that was used to kill, to cure people. So, this proves that the science and technology behind some of the world’s worst weapons is not bad by itself, its how humanity has chosen to use these discoveries. </span></div>

Amatol explosives were extensively used during the world wars in aerial bombs, depth charges, shells, and naval mines(</span></span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.6000003814697px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Wikipedia</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.6000003814697px; white-space: pre-wrap;">). In this picture here we see the aftermath of the allied bombing of Dresden, Germany. Dresden was no longer of any a great military or strategic importance at the time of its bombing, and the majority of people who were in the city were innocent refugees. The image portrays a city in ruins, with death and rubble shown everywhere in the picture by the tattered buildings, bodies, and a dark, dusty sky. This disaster was able to happen because of Haber’s ammonia synthesizing technology, which was used to create the ammonium nitrate in the bomb. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.6000003814697px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This dark imagery supports the notion that all this destruction and death happened because of this technology, but this is not the case.

Today, nitrogen fertilizers are responsible for feeding 48% of the worlds population(International Nitrogen Initiative). In this picture we see a lush farm with steadily growing plants. This picture is opposite to the last, it portrays life with vegetation growing everywhere in the picture. There are upright buildings and the sky is rich with colour with no clouds. This imagery supports the belief that this technology is good because it is used to help grow food. The science and technology did not choose to be used for this purpose, humans did. The bombs and agriculture show two uses for the same technology, it was humans who decided how to use this technology. We used it to kill and feed people. This proves that science and technology are not good or bad, it depends on how humanity chooses to use it. </span></span></div>

For many years this has been at the back of many peoples minds and was reflected in various media. Since the recent events in america this has once again been brought to my attention. Here is some proof that many people believe that the American dream has failed. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-51a52c33-d519-5a5c-1fad-c619a6fd742b"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img height="286px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/5YtfhWW5bL6FBtuStsz85Zy7vtcg30PI1Q3ZAdyMxETlP9_6CNz5pu2Y7U-1upQhp77CrQpdIoeIteq2FnVaCpPS1ywT2pv3IHjoIjM4YTzDow9o2pnzycQhuX32ZbHQXQ" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(0.00rad); border: none; transform: rotate(0.00rad);" width="629px;" /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">At first glance the first thing that you will realize that this cartoon is describing the American dream and you can see how many people are trying to work towards it. The next thing that I noticed was that the staircase the people are using is starting to fall apart. This is representing the continued deterioration of the American dream. Furthermore, if you look at the characters depicted there are only a few that actually notice that the staircase is starting to fall apart. This is showing that few people choose to acknowledge that the American dream is falling apart. The main idea of this picture is that the american dream is crumbling and the artist uses a staircase to give a representation of how unaware the majority of the populace is.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This next photo is a shift to reality. This was taken during the great depression but, still has context since the events in Ferguson and New York. In this photo you can see that the only people in this line are black and they are likely in line for so sort of assistance because, many of them are holding bags or pales. Furthermore, in the background you can see the advertisement showing a white family in a car happily driving with the slogans "Worlds Highest Standard Of Living" and "There's no way like that American way". This shows the difference between the perceived american dream and what the majority of citizens are going through are almost on two different worlds. Also, in the advertisement the family depicted is white compared to the black people waiting in line, this shows that the american dream had already started to fail because, the populations idea of the American dream only involves white people. The main idea of this photo is that the american dream does not apply to everyone so it is starting to crumble.</span></span><br />

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This next cartoon is one that i feel reflects with many people that are around our age. In this comic it shows two friends, the first one got stuck in a part time job after high school and never went to college or university. The other girl went to college and got a degree, this has lead her now where so she is going to apply for a part time job just like the other girl. this is showing that the traditional American dream of getting a degree and then getting a well paying job is no longer the reality. Furthermore, the girl that did not go to college is probably better off because, she won't have to pay student loans and she already has a job. Also, in the attitude of the girl that went to college changes and by the end of the conversation she is slouching and has stopped smiling.

The person at the desk says that they have given everything the own back but they still own more money. This is representing how no matter how much debt you try to pay off their will always be more and the more debt that you have the further the American dream seems. Furthermore, the family is in cheap clothes and look saddened by having to "sign out". You can clearly see this by the look on the little girls face and the fact that she has a tear streaking down her face. The main idea of this picture is that it is almost impossible to reach the American dream because, of the massive amounts of debt that the majority of families have.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion, all of these photos share the same idea of the American dream. This would be that the American dream has failed and people are to ignorant to realize this or they are to poor to ever hope of achieving it. </span><br />

As I get older I start to realize the serious danger that comes with playing sports that involve violence. The constant risks that athletes put others as well as themselves in makes me believe that these sports should not be around. That's why I have come to realize that violent sports are penalizing others due to the damages caused by the opponents as well as the sport. The damages can be present in cognitive and physical damage. </span><br />

Cognitive is mainly caused by injuries involving your head including concussions and many traumatic brain injuries. The athletes who are highly more likely to experience cognitive damage are boxers. Boxers are constantly being punched to the head causing brain trauma. In the long run this damage affects your learning ability including reading and writing. In this image of professional boxer Floyd Mayweather it shows him reading a Dr. Sues book. The image shows him struggling to read due to him sweating and his facial movement and expression. The fact that the book he is struggling to read is a repetitive children's book really shows the cognitive damage he is faced with shown by his amount of sweat and the facial expression of him stuck on a word.</span></span></span><br />

In a football game every play has multiple collisions happening. Some are hits to the head and some are just getting knocked down but in every type of hit you are exposed to risk of cognitive damage. This damage is either received in the form of a concussion or permanent brain trauma. In this image it shows college football players colliding with one and other. The guy in the white is being hit with such force that his helmet has came off and he is now going to land and hit his head. The facial expression he shows show him in pain due to the grunt look on his face and his readiness to hit the ground. Although this is one hit, every football player experiences these type of hits regularly and with each hit comes more change of cognitive damage which will further result in the permanent brain damage. The mans face shows the damage being done with him being unconscious due to being hit so hard to the head.</span></span><br />

The cause of physical damage is the aloud violence in sports like hockey. Every time a player is on the ice they will experience receiving a hit and giving one. The reason why violence in hockey is so dangerous is because some players don’t know how to hit properly and put their opponent as well as themselves in danger. There many different ways that you can be injured in hockey. You could be hit in open ice and fall and break your arm or leg, you could also be hit into the boards and break several other bones. But by far the most dangerous hit is being hit from behind head first into the boards. If you are hit hard enough the consequences can range from a broken neck to a broken spin and therefore being paralyzed but even worse in some cases the hit will result in death. I have experienced being hit from behind and i was very lucky to not have been injured at all where in most cases people due end up having some sort of injury. In this image it shows Jonathan Toews from team Canada being hit head first into the boards. The facial expression on the player in the whites jerseys face shows the concern and shock he is now thinking that he might have seriously hurt the other player. This image clearly shows that the violence in sports are penalizing others.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span><br />

Lacrosse is </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">very similar to hockey in the way that you can potentially be hit from behind into the boards and suffer the same type of injuries. Although that hit is very dangerous there is a lot more common hit that happens hundreds of times in a game. The hit involves players being constantly hit with the opponent's stick. The hit can cause minimal injuries like bruises but can also cause severely broken bones. The variation all depends on the force you are hit with and where it hits you. Lacrosse is a sport that also includes a lot of slashing which can also cause a lot of pain to opponents. In this image professional lacrosse players are attempting to hit their opponent. The facial expressions all three players show express the force they are putting into the hit as you can tell by the player on the lefts mouth and how it looks like he is screaming. The player in the middle is expressing a tense look due to him being hit really hard by both players. Again this image shows the violence in sports penalizing others.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In conclusion violence in sports like Boxing, Football, Hockey and Lacrosse are very dangerous and shouldn't be aloud.

Time and time again, companies use advertisements objectifying women by associating sex with their products. This ultimately lowers females’ self value and promotes male dominance. This is not a new concept and in fact, has been going on for a long time but do these companies think, or even care, about what they are really saying?</span></span><br />

They stated that it was a "use of humour and fun" and that the ad used "light-hearted slang, to what people of both sexes would regard as attractive attributes". Whether that statement is true or not, this billboard is really saying that, like a car, a woman’s body is something that can be processed and men are able to pick and chose only the best and highest desired features. In addition, the subject is faceless which supports the idea that it doesn’t matter how intellectual you are or what your personality may be like, it only matters that you have a nice physique, which includes a pair of “nice headlamps”. This idea is placed upon women and girls and as a result they categorize themselves accordingly. And on top of that, it’s not just the females that are affected by this, males are as well. The billboard is condoling men who think that females are objects </span><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">to</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline;"> which they are able to use for themselves. The ad also projects this idea to boys and tells them that male dominance is a acceptable way to live in society. Now, while this used car company claims that this ad was made to be light-hearted and funny, I think its quite clear that rather selling used cars, in this billboard, they’re selling self confidence issues and male dominance instead. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> To start off, Peta stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It’s an organization that raises awareness for animal use and cruelty through blogs, videos, and events. Their main slogan is “Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way”. Sounds like a pretty good organization right? In the advertisements above the target audience are males. I found this interesting because Peta can use sad, emotional ads of helpless creatures being harmed to target women but because men are thought to be tough, sex-craving animals, peta has to show naked women in order to be supported by the male gender. In the first ad it says “turn over a new leaf, try vegetarian” which, without seeing the ad, sounds like a clever phrase. But after seeing the photo, it is clear that turning over a new leaf has subtext that states: remove the subjects marginal clothing, and have uncommitted sex with her because she is sexually ready, as all females should be. The subject in the second photo is playboy model, Sheridyn Fisher, and the ad is saying “Be a bunny’s honey, go vegetarian”. In addition to the skimpy lettuce clothing, the advertisement is putting forth the idea that playboy models will want to be with you as a reward for becoming a </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">vegetarian</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">. When both of these ads are published, it is telling young girls that sexual readiness, big boobs, and a small waistline are what guys look for in a girl and that is how they should determine </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">their</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> self value. As a result, they compare themselves to the photoshopped, airbrushed version of Sheridyn Fisher and put themselves down because that is what they think the standards of being desired or attractive are. The two ads are also telling males that they should become a vegetarian so, as a reward, they can get with some girl, and not because they should legitimately care about animal safety. This further goes on to say that having sex with these ladies should be higher prioritized than having regards for the fair treatment of animals. All in all, Peta may be working to promote awareness for animal cruelty but a slogan that they should take into consideration would be “Women are not ours to compare, exploit, hit on, use for entertainment, or take advantage of in any other way”.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">The image above is three separate ads that have been cropped into one big picture but they all have the same blunt message. Use axe, get laid. They use the images of a woman squirting whipped cream on her bare chest, another woman lacing up a corset, and the last one of a woman holding a whip in relation to a man taking a shower to communicate their slogan, “The cleaner you are, the dirtier you get”. This targets men and uses an oxymoron to imply, in additions to getting laid, the more you use their product the dirtier your sex will be. But truthfully, it is not as simple as “I took a shower today, with axe body wash, therefore </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I'm</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> going have kinky sex”. This executes huge male dominance because nowhere yet has it even been considered if the girl will even want to have sex. Added on to this male dominance, is the message that women should be okay with this due to the fact that a man's physical appearance/scent is the most important feature in someone. </span></span></div>

To start, the female subject is being used not just for the pleasure of the men but also as a table. That sends a substantial and direct message that women are objects that men can dominate over and do whatever they want with, as stated in their slogan “Share one with a friend, or two”. That phrase clearly has a deeper meaning than just share some beer with your buds, because the “one” that they are sharing is indeed the female subject. In addition to her being used for sex and being used as a table, Guinness doesn't think it’s necessary to give her a personal pronoun because in the </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">commercial</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">, she’s not a person, she’s a thing. This delivers a message to the male viewers that when you drink, it is tolerable to objectify women, use them to your own advantage, and hey, why not share her because, clearly, it was uncommitted sex so she’s not important to you.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> This Budweiser ad depicts three women wearing the label, laying on a blown up image of what the front of a Budweiser’s beer bottle. It is illustrating that women like this beer, so men should drink it if they want to get laid. But don’t worry, it won’t be hard, because these women are attached to the bottle. Therefore wherever there’s </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Budweiser</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">, there will be attractive females waiting to have sex with you. Which I know, and most other people know, is a false statement. But when you have this ad printed on a billboard for everyone to see, you get young girls who think that that image is what being a woman means and being sexually ready is what you have to do to be considered important in our society. Then, when they do these things to fit into this certain category, they are ultimately objectified. Anybody who has received that treatment, in anyway, can tell you that it feels like crap and </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">doesn't</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> raise your self worth at all. It's even harder for females to see that they’re more than an object when males have grown up thinking that treating women that way is fine.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> To sum up, companies objectify women in their ads and commercials in order to sell their products. This tactic does more than just sell their product, it engraves messages in females' minds that they should only be an object that is there to serve men. In relation, it tells males that it is appropriate to dominate over females by treating them like they are temporary and disposable. This leads me to ask myself a question, So what? Why do I care? The answer is simple. I know that there’s more to me than just some object that can be thrown around and I know countless women and men who have influenced me in a way that made me realize that it’s a good thing to have self worth and respect. I am always around young kids, in the dance studio or at camp, who are highly influential and </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I've</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"> gotten to know these kids very well. And </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; white-space: pre-wrap;">unfortunately</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">, not everyone has someone to look out for them and when they are influenced by these companies, they grow up having low self esteem and low self worth. So next time you drive past a billboard or flip through a magazine, I encourage you to take a second and think about the subtext and the effect it has on you and the people around you. </span></span></span></div>

Music serves many different purposes for many people; whether it be that it helps you focus, it allows you to express yourself, it helps you achieve personal goals, or that you just love listening to it. It is clear that music plays a big role in our society, and ultimately, in the world in which we live; however, it is very seldomly looked at as a tool of encouragement to fulfill many different tasks.<br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-dcd05c66-d9a9-596b-6f39-1d64b7fde785"><span style="vertical-align: baseline;">Many people listen to music while they study, when they are doing homework, or when they are working to gain focus. The photograph (Figure 1) depicts a young girl listening to music while completing her homework. Looking at her face, you can see she is very determined, and is concentrating, as she has a slightly furrowed brow. This look of determination is a result of music. During a recent study at a university, a student conducted a survey to show the reasons behind using music to help one study. The results are shown in the graph below (Figure 2):</span></span><br />

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;">The graph indicates that of the people who participated in the survey, the most common reason for using music to study was to be able to focus more. Not only does this picture (figure 1) show the girl is concentrating as a result of the music as shown by her facial expression, but this is also shown comparing the young girl's body language to that of the boy sitting next to her. While the girl is listening to music and is very focused on her work, the boy sitting next to her seems to be daydreaming. This is shown through his body language. He has one hand on his face, is slouching, and his eyes are above his computer; rather than at his computer. Since he is not looking at his computer, it shows he is not focused. This photo makes it clear that in this case, music influences, and encourages the young girl's concentration to complete her homework.</span><br />

<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition, music encourages people to incorporate fun into their lives for personal, and mutual benefit. This photo graph (Figure 3) shows an exercise class that incorporates music into their workout. The focuses of this image are the smiles on the ladies' faces, and their unison with each other. Their smiles justify that the ladies are having fun, as a result of the music. Working out to the beat of the music inspires them to be active, shown by the swaying, and encourages them to have fun while they are being active, which is seen as many of the women are smiling. Also, this photograph demonstrates that music encourages the ladies to participate as all the women are doing the same stance; drum sticks up in the air, legs apart, showing unison. The music also serves as a bonding for the women. This is shown as they are all in unison, and are all working towards the same goal; to be active, which reveals a connection between all the women. Ultimately, this photograph demonstrates that music encourages people to participate, and incorporate having fun in their lives for personal and mutual benefit. </span><br />

In the same way the women use music to gain personal and mutual benefits, so do the kids in this photograph (Figure 4). This is a picture of youth street performers, who play songs for people on the streets; however, they don't play for money. The focus of this image is the sign that reads, "no tips just smiles". This sign demonstrates that music has encouraged these kids to do something that they love, to play music, while trying to make people they don't know happy. Not many people perform this way today; without doing it for profit. This sign also demonstrates that these kids are giving the entertainment of music to others, with no personal benefit to themselves, or to others, other than plain happiness. In essence, the kid's passion for music has encouraged them to use their talent, solely to bring happiness to themselves, and others.<br />

There are many genres of music, for example; pop, rap, classical, etc. Many people listen to different genres of music based on how they are feeling, which often allows them to express themselves. Different genres also allow many people to personally connect with the music. Genres allow people to assign how they are feeling, with a type of music, and use this as an escape to express themselves, and express their creativity. The illustration (Figure 5) depicts a girl who is very passionate about music, and claims, "music saves [her] soul". The focus of this image is the green headphones the character is wearing. Because the headphones are the only colored part of the the illustration, it demonstrates how meaningful music is to the artist as the color makes the headphones, a tool for listening to music, stand out. It also shows the new found hope for her emotional health that music has given to the artist as she describes that "music saves [her] soul". The artist's new healthy attitude is also represented by the shading around the edges of the illustration. The </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">influence on the girl's emotional health, which is represented by the green headphones, is also shown by the white surrounding the girl's face. The edges of the image all have dark shading around them; however, the headphones act as a positive barrier from the girl's past emotional struggles, which are represented by the black corners of the image, which now seem to be deteriorating as a result of the music. Overall, this illustration demonstrates that music encouraged this artist to express herself through art, a very common outlet for personal opinion, and expression.</span></span></div>

It often drives us to complete tasks; whether they be for ourselves, or for others. It allows us to express ourselves, and the experiences we go through, and helps us to connect with others. </span></span></div>

I believe that it is definitely worthy of study. For some background information that story follows a group of women living on a First Nations reserve.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>The Rez Sisters </i>has a engaging story about six First nations women heading to the biggest bingo in the world. the trials and barriers that the women overcome to get to this bingo is what really makes this story so interesting. The fully developed characters and unique message, along with many symbols and literary devices to develop any assignments that a person could think of. Furthermore, the use of very own to earth characters gives the play a very relatable side and the difficulties that the women over come are similar to what many people will go through in their lives. </div>
