Week 5

Topic 1: My concern for copyright or limits on creativity is how can people have the freedom to be creative and use others work as examples or inspiration without it interfering with the copyright laws? I find it to be difficult for many people who use materials as inspiration to not be put in a binding position. They tend to list what they used as inspiration or discuss it and they always have to make it clear that they do not own the rights to anything. To me that is troubling to have to go through every time a person wants to be creative. To me I think that politicians go too far when exercising freedom of press since during their candidacies they tend to dig up every negative possible thing about their competitor they possibly can and they put it out to the public only to better themselves.

Blog Project #1

I chose to use topic #2 about television. I chose to use an episode of Fuller House on Netflix. I chose this because it is a spin off of one of my favorite childhood shows, Full House. I watched Episode 11 of season 2, "DJ and Kimmy's High School Reunion". I watched it on Wednesday July 19. This series falls under the category of situation comedy. The main characters are DJ, Stephanie, Kimmy Gibbler, and their three kids. The episode mainly takes place at DJ and Kimmy's 20 year high school reunion. It bounces between the high school and home where Stephanie is babysitting the kids. At the reunion Kimmy has an embarrassing moment like she did while in high school during her senior year. DJ is having conflicting emotions about her love triangle she has with her old boyfriend and her current boyfriend. At home with Stephanie she is trying to explain and show that all the kids are special in their own ways and that grades in school do not define you as a person. According

Week 3

Topic 1: I chose to use Facebook to search for the Adidas brand. On their Facebook page "adidas Original" company page they have thousands of photos showing the various products they are promoting during a certain time. Most of the photos are of the shoes at different angles but as I was going through them I noticed that they are reaching to all ages since they have a children clothing line that they are advertising. They have a list of events that the company is holding such as their upcoming event that is a Photo Lab where they will be using Polaroid cameras to show various techniques to use on Polaroid photographs. On their Facebook page they also have access to their Instagram page. Both the photos and the link are provided for easy access. The biggest promotion on the page is that "original is never finished." This is the cover photo, has featured videos on the page and the most recent posts have to do with that catch phrase. From how the page does their ad

Week 2

Topic 1:  I signed up for Twitter this week and decided to follow Ellen DeGeneres, The Washington Post and Bernie Sanders. I chose Ellen DeGeneres because to me she is a wonderful role model for all people and she is very inspiring. I enjoy watching her television show and I find her funny so I thought she would be a great person to start following. I chose The Washington Post because even though I do not like to get into political debates with my peers I do like to keep up to date on what is happening in our government. I then chose to follow Bernie Sanders because I wanted to understand more of what he was about when he was running for presidency. The best tweet I have seen so far would be from Ellen that had an adorable picture of twin baby girls with the caption,"I believe children are our future." I really enjoyed this because I couldn't agree more. I absolutely adore children and I see them as the future of our nation and our future families. They are so importan
