My findings for content analysis for final paper

This YouTube video link is the new method of public relations, using social media. The CEO of Jet Blue apologizes personally to customers stuck on planes for 14 hours or more during a snowstorm in New York back in February 2007.

Google Gets You Through LIfe

I really loved this commercial when it aired during 2010's Superbowl. It not only demonstrates the search and map features of Google, but tells a story, also. Google has become so prevalent in recent years that google is now a verb in Webster's dictionary: (Definition of GOOGLE
: to use the Google search engine to obtain information about (as a person) on the World Wide Web ).



Whoever created the idea of telling a life story through the Google search engine is genius. We all know that Google is a lifesaver in terms of finding the information you need right when you need it, but now we know that Google helps you get the girl, the job, and have the life you want :).

Radical media Ads

Music metaphor referencing the movie: "Eyes Wide Shut." Interesting latent twist. And the McDonald's ad with the six year old boy. Actually the entire collection is worth viewing. Worth dissecting in class.

Gay Beer

This link is a great example of gays portrayed in advertising (which is what my paper is about). I felt it would be a great way to notice the patterns that surface into our mainstream culture and the different stereotypical figures that always seem to come forth every few years or so (i.e. metrosexuals are cool, now they're not, etc.) I believe its a great example of how the Message System Analysis works, since it gives us several various commercials with emphasis losing the "girly man" complex for becoming a "man's man". Since its an tv ad we have about 30 seconds to take it all in and pick a few certain phrases or objects within the frame that will draw us toward certain tendencies and values that are prominent in our culture today.
Also, its really funny.

Quran Burning:

I feel The Prime Minister of Malaysia Datuk Seri Najib remarks condemning the Quran burning in Florida acceptable because respect for religious beliefs should be maintained in a developed country like America. However his statements makes me, think.He said, " I really hope that President Barack Obama and the United States Government will be able to do something to prevent this from happening". If the government and President Barack Obama take action against the Pastor in Florida then they violate his first Amendment right to freedom of Speech. I do not understand when people critize him as racist. I believe that Pastor Tery Jones has a reason for his action. He planned the tactic of burning quran on the day of Eid Mubarak celebration and September 11' to grab world attention of Muslim and non Muslim countries. In my opinion, he hopes that people from other countries will realise the real reason behind his action. One reason is the pain of September 11 second he does not want the mosque to be built near Ground zero in New York. http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsindex.php?=527362

"Moderntimes"

This film is called Moderns Times and it is directed and written by Charlie Chaplin. The introduction of the film, with the image of “clock,” reflects the connection between the title of the film and the theme. I watched the first two parts of the movie. This movie was produced during the era of the 1930s which is also known as the “machine age” in the United States. Therefore, the symbol of the clock represents how ’ life was transformed in the modern world- “tied” up with worries about time and money.Machines made y workers behave like robots. . There could be no arguments with management because keeping a job and a salary were most important. In this film, hedevelops a theme that deals with factory workers, production, and the changes that machines bring.
