In all my eye opening
examinations I’ve examined YouTube, Haiti’s unappreciative manner towards the
disabled, and Steven’s Universe. Through
all my observations I look at everything in a new light. I’ve learned that
everything can be analyzed and seen
differently. YouTube seems like a wonderful place you get to hear funny people
and watch music videos. But then you don’t really think about what the person
is saying. You watch it because you saw he had a lot of subscribers you laugh
in the spur of the moment and don’t question anything. No one ever really pays
attention to the comments. I mean if
your there for the music video you only need to watch the music video you don’t
care who’s watching. But once you scroll
and see the comments it’s a whole new world. You learn things about people you
don’t know all because they are so trusting of the internet. They let their
business out for all to see no matter how old they are in reality. There is no
age limit for YouTube but if there was no one would listen.
In Haiti you can see
that people who walk are more valued than people who don’t but in Fairfield County
I’d say we do a pretty good job of including the disabled. We have ramps people
are usually driving if they are disabled but if they aren’t being driven in a
car their special buses for them.
I’ve
seen that in cartoons they teach you young that of course white people are
smarter. Whether its on purpose or just in their nature. They also start
getting to know stereotypes at an early age. Black people don’t always rely on
brute force and wear afros. We also don’t always follow the plans of the white
man when they are wrong too. We speak up for ourselves and don’t stay silent
while everyone contributes. Spanish people are not slow like Steven either.
After
making all these observations I will continue to watch children’s show with a
closer eye because I feel the way the portrayal their races are ridiculous and
I refuse to sit here and just let my friends and family watch such tomfoolery. I
will point it out to people until I figure out an adequate way to get people to
understand where I’m coming from with my opinions. But for now if anyone from Cartoonetwork is reading this I need you all to get it together you used to be so much better than this! Reevaluate yourselves please.
I feel that all of your observations were really good and really point out things that need to be pointed out. All were strong and I could hear your voice throughout it. I feel that the conclusion could have been better. I feel you have no real thesis in this and you can do better to connect them all to really show what our generation and society portrays to us.
ReplyDeleteI really liked these blogs. You chose very different, but also very interesting topics to observe. I especially liked the observation blog on youtube videos. I also watch youtube videos, so it was easy to connect to the blog. Furthermore, despite watching so many youtube videos, I haven't ever thought of the questions/ comments you had concerning them. Overall, you have a very strong voice, which really draws the reader in. Your points were specific and unique. To improve, I agree with Nia on making your thesis statement more clear. Other than that, these were all very well done blogs. Nice Job!
