Extra Credit Entry

 

  After watching Food, Inc., there were definitely a lot of thoughts running through my head. The film provides a summary of the industrialized food process and sheds light on various issues related to our food system. It showcases the treatment of animals, the deception by some American businesses, and the complex relationship between the federal government and big business. Personally, I was shocked by the images of how animals are treated in industrial farming. It made me question the ethics behind our food production. Additionally, the film highlighted the impact of food production on the environment, which was eye opening. Learning about the amount of bacteria in our food was definitely a bit unsettng too. The film also made me think about the role of government in regulating the food industry. It was disheartening to see how some businesses prioritize profit over the well being of consumers. The idea of food being engineered raised some concerns for me as well. It made me question the integrity and quality of the food we consume. Overall, Food, Inc. made me realize the importance of being informed about the food we eat. It's essential for us as consumers to be aware of the issues surrounding our food system and make conscious choices.

Entry #4: IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON MENTAL HEALTH

Image
 Hey guys, on this entry#4, I'm going to be talking about impact of social media on mental health.  social media can have positive effects. It allows us to connect with friends and family, share experiences, and find support.  It can provide a sense of belonging and help combat feelings of isolation. We can also use social media to raise awareness about important causes, like the adoption of senior and physically challenged dogs from local shelters, as I mentioned in the ad I shared.  However, there are some potential negative effects to be aware of. Social media can contribute to feelings of loneliness as we often see others' highlight reels and compare ourselves to them.

To navigate the impact of social media on mental health, it's important to find a balance.  Sur

#Entry 5 Mayhem

After watching the Allstate Mayhem commercials, I've chosen one to analyze for my blog post which is the Beauty blogger . I'll start by discussing the rhetorical strategies used, such as humor, exaggeration, and relatability. Then, I'll delve into how these strategies effectively convey the message and engage the audience. This ad points to go beyond just selling a product by creating an emotional connection with the audience. The author wants the viewers to experience empathy, feel inspired to adopt senior, physically challenged, and unique dogs, and understand the importance of supporting the cause.  The ad promotes a lifestyle of compassion(suffer together) and responsibility towards animals, emphasizing the value of giving these dogs a loving home. The target audience is likely pet lovers who are open to adopting dogs from shelters. The ad reflects American culture's appreciation for the emotional impact of pet adoption. The design of the ad, including the images, m
