Today we had a Socratic seminar about an article we read. To tell you the truth, I wasn't feeling very well during the first half so I didn't absorb that part but I felt better by the second half so I will talk about that. We talked about things like what we could do as a project to help stop the media from influencing people in such extreme ways and teen suicides and such. It seems that the main problem is that people are easily influenced by media and this overload on thinner=better has created an extremely stressful enviorment for kids to grow up in. The only way to truly escape it is not to care about it which is hard. It is very interesting that we are captives of our own mind in this time of fashion and trends. If we believe we aren't part of it, we usually aren't. An idea I had for a project was show a diet pill commercial ad but instead of pill containers, show vegetables by either photoshopping them in or creating an ad that imitates the ads on TV. However, that dosn't promte inner beauty which is suposed to be the goal of the project. We will be doing this project soon probably so I'll probably go more in depth about it later.

I think that you did a good job on talking about the project that we might be doing in Ms.g's class. You did a great jon of explaining how the media can corrupt the minds of teens and try to show them what they think beauty is to them.
