Video games... oh how I love video games. I remember back then when we had those old game systems that we were inlove with.

Hmm.. what do I think about video games? Well I can sure say that it has changed over the years, Ms. Arturi's right, not only has the games changed in content, but it also changed in quality. Just thinking of it, comparing the quality of a basketball game now to a basketball game back then, the quality is much better. Technology did really rise to a new level. Now a days I believe kids are more glued on to their tv's because of video games. I can say it surely did impact me. Also if im not glued on to the tv playing video games, then i have the PSP, and Nintendo DSi going everywhere I go. Not saying that it's a good thing, but video games are like a drug... its very addicting and once you keep playing you want more and more and more games. Which allows the gaming company to keep making more games because they want the money.

Quality is something that impacts everyone. No one would buy something if it doesnt have great quality? Is this how it influenced game makers to make better games? The better it looks the more costumers... I believe so

Now WII, I must say I love it. When I first got a WII I thought wow this is so sick like I can be a player in the game! but then WII has its downfalls, it can also lead as being a bad influence. What happens to those shooting games? Its it allowin the player to practise aim for a good thing, or for a bad thing? Hmm... and are they trying to make the player feel that they are part of the game?

Also what about WII Fit. My family and I love it. Its a very good family thing to use.

Overall, I believe that these video games are still regular video games but it's just that it went a little bit beyond with allowing the player now to feel as if they are actually in the game.

What do I think about the Dove Campain for real beauty?
Well, I believe what the commercial shows is true. There are alot of women out there that do alot of things to their body to have the "look" that they dream of. So the point of the ad is for them to show women that true and real beauty is the right direction to follow. This commerical does show a positive attitude, because it shows how humans get influenced easily and are not always satified with their look. I think the little girl is to show how children get influenced as they see all of this go on around the world from television, friends, family, and by everyone who either wears make up, or does some type of surgery to there body. Also to think of it, how many girls do u see walking down the hall that aren't wearing some type of makeup on their face? theres a few that dont, but majority of them do. Im proud to say I DO NOT WEAR MAKEUP, only when I go out id wear eye liner. but I have natural features already, and everyone should be proud of their look. Positive Ad.

Now about the Axe Effect Campain Ads...
I dont know why they would put out the ad where it has all the women running after the man when he sprayed his axe. Honestly just thinking of it makes me laugh because ladies we all know its not true. This ad on the other case is not promoting the product for a good cause, but promoting it because they want the sales. They are trying to boost male confidence showing that if they spray the axe on them they would get millions of girls, which is every mans dream to get alot of girls. Now, do you really believe this is true?, as I said it's just to catch males attension to make money. Negitive Ad.

Lastly, do I believe that a 'parent' company has some responsibility to ensure that all of their different sectors uphold the same sort of beliefs or values?
Yes of course I do believe that a 'parent' company has some responsibility to ensure that all of their different sectors uphold the same sort of beliefs or values, because then this way people would more get an understanding about if the company actually cares about them or if they are just in the business because of the money and publicity. Having a positive ad, and then having a negative ad plays around with consumers head because first the ads were "Dont wear makeup, dont do surgery, use your real beauty" then they went to " Use this axe spray and ladies will be all over you." Its too confusing.

"Eat! Eat! Eat! & Always Stay Thin!" hmm, I think that this picture is discriminating against body sizes. I believe this ad is sayin that you should eat as much as you want but stay thin. I find this discriminating because not everybody is thin, and not everyone can stay thin. Personally, if you do see me at school... I am very thin, but yet i do eat alot. But it is not my fault that I am thin, its just me because I have a high metabolism. Ads like this, and other things like this are changing the way about how we think about ourselves these days. We look at the models in magazines, ads and etc, and automatically think they are pretty because they are thin, and which we were just like them. But then the models don't even look like that in real life. So now we have people today who go on diets, go to gyms, and stuff just to change they way they look because they want the "skinny figure." I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to go to the gym and go on diets but why change yourself to something your not? Also why make ads like this, and magazines make you want to change the way you look? and I'm not just saying this because I am already super thin. I'm saying this because people should be proud of what they already look like. I do not agree with this ad.



When I first saw this picture I was like "wow!" "Blow in her face and she'll follow you anywhere." Is this ad trying to say that women are inlove with a man that smokes and she will follow him anywhere? or is it trying to say that a man is superior and women are followers of them? I absolutely do not agree with this ad. It makes women seem meaningless.












To be honest, i dont even know what lard is! But I searched it up, and i finally know what it is. Umm, i have comment to this. Its just plain rude, and disrespectful.

Okay umm, I've never seen a doctor smoke before. Aren't they the ones who are suppose to encourage people to not smoke?... because they know about all the problems it can cause to a humans body. I just think that the point of this ad is for the "Camels" product to sell. They want to make it seem that if doctors can smoke it, then its okay for other people to smoke it too.
