Hi everyone, long time no see.
Today we were introduced to the new topic/unit "Adverinfotainment" that is very much involved with the media and entertainment and more importantly how they affect us and the world.
From the lesson, i was very interested in the topic in general. I am seriously considering going into the media or some form of advertising and thought the activity(toward the end)was very interesting. Now more often than not, I am not generally interested in questions that involve more of a scientific or analytical mindset, but i truly was very curious about this topic. The questions posed to the group, really got me thinking hard. These questions we went over - We knew it was evident, but most of us don't stop and realize, this is happening now; and has been happening for quite a while now!
Now, one thing i really do like is how community and identity both fall into what we are doing in this unit. Whilst it might not be related directly, there are definitely some aspects of both units that we can use to help justify or explain a certain concept. For example during the lesson we went over a question that was something along the lines of "How we view what we are given by the media and how for each person is different"(you get the gist). We can quite clearly relate this to bias,background and very much identity and community, so it is evident that both units can interconnect with one another.
On a more general note, I enjoyed the lesson and look forward to this unit.
Let's hope it is kind to us!
