Social Justice and Digital Media of Advertising


In the past, before technology was a huge part of our society, advertising was mostly on paper. Now in a whole new generation, mostly everything from advertising is on billboards, the internet, and television. Companies like to make a unique commercial to get people buy their product. This ties into digital media because if you go on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or any other internet website, it’s everywhere. On YouTube, most videos that are popular have at least a 30sec ad in the video. Advertising ties in with Social Justice because some advertising try to influence people they can feel happier if they buy the product. They also try to make the commercials catchy, so you can remember them. If you repeat a song or phrase from it, people might recognize it and could get the word around with people asking, “Why is everyone saying this on that commercial?”
                 In the future, mostly everything that involves advertising is going to be on digital media. Very solemn now you’re going to see advertising in the newspaper because mostly everybody doesn’t pay attention to that. When people watch T.V, they mostly have to watch the commercials because 95% of television goes to commercials. A regular television show, says it might last a half hour but, usually the actual show is only close to 20min. There are some great motivation commercials that ties into social justice because social justice can make everyone equal and people can do anything they want to. They just need to have the mindset to be successful on doing it and keep trying if mistakes happen. When I saw this, I thought this was interesting because it tied in with digital media and social justice, that’s why I posted this for my blog.

50th year anniversary about "I have a dream"


Amazingly, it has been 50 years since the last time Martin Luther King Jr. said the famous speech “I have a dream.” This short article that I have read, says that did we really listened to his speech today and how our world has changed over the years. During that time period, when Martin Luther King said that speech, there was a lot of emotion, sadness about our nation and to bring everyone together as one. Also the speech said, there should not be any racism, hatred, and everyone respecting each other. When he gave that speech, it brought attention to many people and everyone saw something different in our nation. African Americans were treated unfairly, poorly and no one should be treated like that. Their regular human beings just like us and people should never treat them any differently because of their skin color.

             In my opinion, I believe that his speech has no effect on our society today as it did before. People are still biased and racist today, however I think it wasn’t as bad as it was before. Racism means that people hate one certain race or culture for their own certain reason and it’s absolutely mean. Everyone should be treated equal and it ties into social justice because social justice should be brought up more around our world. It will bring people’s attention and it could get spread around, which would be fantastic. We should never forget Martin Luther King for his passion to bring our nation together. Martin Luther King Day is a great holiday to remember him as a great leader and speaker. As for digital media, it can get around the world to remember Martin Luther King. Digital media can get very social and if people see that is the 50th anniversary of "I have a dream speech," it can make people tell everyone out there.

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas Questions

1. Would you live in Omelas? Why or why not?

Social Justice and technology


Social justice is a major part in our country today. Social justice is in our society, all around the world and takes place in different social classes. Social justice is a way to bring our society together and make peace in our world because there is so much racism and hatred out there. With social justice, it can bring people together and treat everyone fairly. That’s the way it should be because it can build relationships. Meeting new people is a great way to find similar interests and ideas that people have. Our world has more good people than bad and as we bring our societies together, there will be less crime and more love. Our society has evolved over the course of years. As a society we can get together with people around the world and announce certain activities to bring our society as one and have everybody contribute. There can be banners on the streets, restaurants, and on the roads as well. There will be more peace in our world in the future.

There was less crime in the past centuries because technology might have been involved. Technology overtime has improved more rapidly than anything else in our world. In the past people barely had any technology like cell phones, T.V’s, and computers. The internet is the biggest technology invention that was ever created and it has helped us with our health, which is the most important. Technology will continue to evolve over the years and this will create more fantastic activities for social justice.

Digital media I use to play online for different types of games and research for school.  I do not use social media because in my personal opinion I think its a waste of time and it takes away self confidence. The rate I would give myself would be a 5/10 because I'm right in the middle of what needs to be learned.
8. My question is, what's your favorite sports team?
