Hm. Blog posts. xD
I feel the need to say, once again, that I have so much trouble with blog posts. It's not really the problem of expressing myself through written language, (which is actually so much easier than speaking) it is more of a issue with knowing what to say.
It seems so arrogant to presume that simply writing down your opinions is okay, but then again, I suppose that is how ideas get out there. And no one ever said their opinions were the only ones, so in that context I suppose it makes it okay.
The films we saw in class were sort of amazing. I wish I could do more cultural comparisons of media. Particularly children's media. It's really fascinating to see the different types of media that are used, as well as the variety of messages that are being sent out, via tv screens. Like how that lullaby we heard would never makes it into children's media in american, and yet is completely culturally acceptable in Russia.
It makes me wonder how much shaping it actually does to the person. We all know that media is a fundamental part of how we view ourselves and others around us, but it's difficult to say what other factors contribution to this.
Anyway, just some thoughts.
