Image: Decisions, Decisions....

So, We were told to find an image, or advertisement that ties in with our topic. THAT is where my problem lies, my topic is the loss of culture in our society today.

There are some to choose from but nothing that directly ties in. I haven't chosen a definite image but I found one that might juts make the cut.

It is here:

I think that the image definitely uses sarcasm and satire in mimicking the U.S.'s symbol of justice, a woman blind-folded with a scale. In the balance hangs a man who feels that affirmative action is definitely a form of injustice if it isn't supported by quotas or statistics.

The artist is definitely using satire in critiquing people who believe in abolishing affirmative action, while using the image of justice sarcastically. We can see evidence of the book's claims of making a sophisticated argument that's subtle and clever.

So we were told to find a image relating to our subject, and mine was a false sense of cultural identity, or the loss of culture in our society.

My image is basically a collage with the message that we are all a part of each other; which is what I believe America should truly reflect. Rather than dominating other cultures and beliefs, the AMERICAN culture should be a collaboration of all of its people, creating a new culture that i unique to each person. It is indeniable that we are all apart of one another's culture and lifestyle; we all influence those around us.

ATTENTION SONYA'S ENG1A CLASS

We should all get together. I mean we all have to wake up and come to class at 8:00 anyway, why not get to know each other a little more? I mean I feel that our class is so impersonal and quiet, let's be honest, half the class is Sonya talking.. and half is me responding. Let's all get a little personal. Maybe meet up for lunch? Discuss our likes and dislikes of this class? We all kinda drag on in this class. Maybe it's the morning, but maybe it's just because we all don't really befriend each other. Let's give it a try, who's down? (that means who's interested for those of you who don't know.) *see? we can teach each other so much!*
