Class highlights

In JOURN 2 I learned a lot of things about media literacy. I no longer can watch a movie the sam because of what I learned on product placement. When I see an ad in a movie I scream out "oh look, look product placement."  It would no longer be the same when im watching TV or seeing a movie and it wont be the same for my friends because they have to hear me say that everytime I see product placement. The first amendment is a big part in media because it basically means that you can put anything that you want out there for the public to see and if someone gets upset then oh well theres nothing you can do about it because there protected from the First Amendment.
Shameless product placement

Media Ethics/Media Law

In October 27, 2012 a student from Thailand was trying to earn extra money but instead was sued for copyright because he was selling foreign editions of textbooks online. He lost the case but later appealed to the Supreme court with many arguments like intellectual property and owners rights. I thought this case was really interesting because it relates to my experience in college because it is expensive and students would try to do anything just to get some extra money in our pockets,

Internet

I use the Internet all the time for all sorts of things but the most I use it on is probably gaming. I wouldn't want to be online dating with anyone I just think its weird because behind the computer the person can be anybody. My friend is addicted to online shopping, she is always talking about her deals that she finds online and all the good clothes she finds that's not at stores. She has a problem because she spends almost her entire pay checks on online shopping at Nordstrom, Abercrombie and Fitch etc. Now she has some what resolved her problem because she limits the amounts of money she can use for online shopping.
