Dominant Corporate Messages

You open up a magazine and see a skinny pretty girl dressed up stylish, you turn the next page and see a well known celebrity, looking better then they really are with a product of some sort, like perfume or cologne, in their hands and a catchy name. In every page you turn to there are messages being sent to you, to look better you need to be skinny, and a curvy nice body, beautiful stylish hair, and in style clothing and by doing that you're life will be more meaningful. The people who make the magazines purposely aim to make people self-consciousness, and persuade them into wasting their money, just so they can fit into society more, be more "popular".

Also in movies like twilight, it influences girls to fall in love with the dangerous guy, the one whose dark, smart, and handsome. It influences girls to fall into a "forbidden love", get with someone whose from a different status then you, who you're parent mostly wouldn't approve, and yet movies are always showing the boyfriend and girlfriend, holding hands with their family, everybody's happy, which goes against the whole fall in love with a dangerous guy. Also it makes girls believe that to have a more meaningful life, you need a dangerous type of thrill, one which most people would go against, because we value our life more then other things. Which goes to show you can really trust one thing, because theres always different side to it, a "bad" side.

Thanks Giving-Black Friday-Walmart guy

Insights i had about thanks giving was that, its just a holiday that people celebrate, while not really knowing why their celebrating it, or what for. Most think oh because the natives gave the pilgrims food and they shared a meal, the day is a day to give thanks for the food they got, while none really acknowledge the fact that the pilgrims killed the natives. So in the end they're celebrating a day where people ate the natives people's food then killed them. So some people just really try to find excuse to celebrate and have fun. They find pleasure in being around friends, family, having the day off, and having fun.

Black friday i dont really see what is so meaningful about it, unless you're poor and dont make much money, then i guess it serves a bit of purpose, but its just a day where people waste their money on things they dont really need, just to make their life seem better. Also about that walmart incident, its horrible, people value wasting money, rather then to save a person's life. People always complain about how little money they have, and how they want more, and yet they're spending it on meaningless things, which they people will make their life more meaningful based on the influence of corporate culture, that you need certain things to be more happy.
