The Cool.


People every day witness tons and tons of advertisements, everywhere, even on other people's clothing. One of the main things media traps us with is what they consider being "Cool". The media does this in many different ways that tricks everyone around the world, whether they know it or not. In my opinion, people are very strongly influenced by the media standard of "Cool". This is because, the media does such a good job at finding the things males and females like by going right to the source, the people. Advertisers find way to manipulate the minds of everyone in one way or another. Using Hot women in male magazines and Hot male models in women's magazines is a perfect example of how the media tricks people into buying things. The media keeps a close watch on every new trend that comes into the scene by hiring people to find the place where these trends come from. In my opinion, everyone follows certain trends, whether it be with clothing, food, music or entertainment. The media targets people in certain age groups with different products that everyone in their age group are following. People don't like to admit that they're following a trend, because being different is considered to be better. Even though many people think they're different, they aren't. They, themselves follow trends without even realizing it. In my opinion the media does an amazing job at manipulating and influencing people around the world with their standard of "Cool".

  1. Good job! The music had me really confused at first. I was wondering why NBC's community was playing Bob Dylan!

    Anyhow, well done!

  3. I'm actually glad you like the music on here. I was ecstatic when I realized the school didn't have the music blocked.
