    I will briefly describe the pros and cons about social medias which are Blogger, Facebook, twitter, Google plus and YouTube. Each one has its own purpose and you can use them for many different purposes but just like everything else they have their positive and negative features. Let me begin by saying blogger is my favorite social network aside from Facebook. In Blogger you can share your expertise pretty much with the whole world and be recognized for it. This is one of the good features and one of the negative features would be blogs take away the feeling of finding things on your own and they are not always accurate. Jumping onto Facebook my second best social network because you can connect with pretty much the whole world and can talk to different people across the globe, but one of the negatives features about Facebook is you pretty much do not have privacy and you are vulnerable for people to scam you or something. We also have twitter and the good thing is you can communicate with celebrities and bad thing is it is also very addictive and you are constantly checking your updates.…

    Disney has impacted the lives of children for more than three decades now, and has been influencing the way they think even at a young age. It supports and actually created the idea of how different gender, race or age group should be treated. Unintentionally, we pick up morals from Disney of how to deal with certain gender groups. In addition, Disney has put women into different stereotypes that the representation of women and femininity is narrow in the media. Images of women did not change, women are still differently stereotyped and the different representations of the characters inside Disney leads to the narrow representation of women in the media.…

Social realist films tend to consist of the socio-economic group of an ABC1 audience and a psychographic group of aspirers from the age range of 30-60 with a secondary audience of students. Social realism can be seen to educate and inform users about grim issues faced upon society. The upper band of the socio economic group, the ABC1 group would tend to use the film for a sense of personal identity or surveillance (Blumer and Katz, 1974) whereas the lower end of socio economic group, C2, D and E audience would use social realism for diversion to gain a sense of escapism from the outside world. “Better than any other genre, social realism has shown us to ourselves, pushing the boundaries in the effort to put the experiences of real Britons on the screen, and…
