Cactus bLog 4
On the topic of gender stereotypes and media gender representation. I think that media and stereotypes stunt the growth of the personalities of teens. I don't know if it's just me, but don't people have to have some form of attraction to attract a partner? Sex appeal in my opinion is the easiest way to catch the eye of that special person. It's so basic and it's our nature to do that kind of thing anyway. It also attracts attention and subscribers. There are other ways to get someones attention though. There is always personality. How do you take a picture of personality? How could we get the media to show more personality? If we could figure out how to do it then I think it would impact us greatly and show us that there are other ways to go out looking. In no way do people need to be the same, develop a personality by just being yourself. With that personality you could meet more sophisticated people. It is the people's choice to what the people buy, you can't stop the people who want sexy magazines from getting those sexy magazines. Buy what interests you, show some personality and buy that cooking magazine since you love to cook. I tend to see people as works of art, their body like a sculpture or picture and their personality like a poem or a work of writing. I'm sure I have no clue what I'm talking about by now.

Asperagus bLog 3
So for this blog topic I was watching Spongebob Squarepants. I was scanning the sheet while it was on the air to decide on which values I could make out. I could make out what resembled 4-5 values. Humanitarianism, efficiency, material comfort, and either Individualism or Conformity. Spongebob was trying to help Mr. Crabs and his whacky idea to get rich quick(efficency?), he had to distract the innocent children while Crabs counted money. I believe this shows how if you want to be efficient, you have to keep in mind the people you are directly affecting. I think it tells us to value humanitarianism.

Banana! bLog 2 (option two)
So information is going all over the web? I'd hope the only people getting my information are the people or organization that I sent it to. They should be the ones responsible for my information stolen in transit to them. I won't argue with the government(or FTC or whatever) policing the interwebs either. I don't surf the cyber seas often, but if I were to slip and wipe out on some radical game wavage, I would love to not have my identity stolen. I don't want people on some other planet knowing my phone number and asking if I want a windshield waxing done right. I guess there's no way to keep you private if you don't want to be. It's important to protect even the most dimwitted of people. Like the report says, privacy is becoming important because of our lack of it. Depending on the situation safety and privacy struggle for power. What do you think? Should I go on?
