my relationship with media

-
November 11, 2019 Hello! Welcome to my first ever post on megan's media rants!! :) Today I will be talking about my personal interactions with media! Currently I spend about 5 hours a day on technology. This time could be spent watching a TV show, Youtube video, typing up an assignment, or reading a news article, it depends on the day. Most often, my interaction with media consists of Netflix. This is a negative relationship with media because I become distracted and stay up too late watching stupid TV sitcoms that will never help me, besides obtaining trivia knowledge. While media in this form can be very harmful, other types of media can be extremely beneficial. If you have a smartphone, you can now access news from all over the world at the touch of a screen. While media can be harmful, it can also be really fun and beneficial. I guess this would be an "It's complicated" relationship with media.

    I've always wondered how people are able to spend so much time on social media, watching Netflix, or even just browsing the internet. I am amazed that kids, especially now that we're all in high school, can have all this time on their hands. This just makes it seem like other people have so much more time than I do, and makes me question whether I'm doing something wrong. And I envy people like this, since I've never really sat down and relaxed for hours. However, this is probably because I'm a perfectionist and if I know that something is due, even if it's a week away, I'll feel inclined to get it done. As a result, it always seems like I have work to do. Also, my parents probably wouldn't let me watch Netflix all day anyways, as it is kind of bad to do that.

December 1, 2019 Hello! Welcome to my third ever post on megan's media rants!! :) Today I will be talking about the development of one of my favorite characters from a TV show, Sue Sylvester from Glee. At the begining of the series, Sue is rude and mean. While this doesn't change much throughout the seasons, we begin to see the reason behind her madness. All of the characters assume that she is plotting something evil whenever she does nice things. While they have reason to be suspicious, she sometimes does nice stuff because of her past. For example, Sue donates a lot of money to the school to install handicap ramps. She also lets a kid with down syndrome into her cheer team. Other characters think that she is plotting something evil, but it is revealed that she has a sister with down syndrome. I think that her character development was really cool because we see her be this harsh mean teacher, and then we see the reasoning behind it. I think her character was written lik

December 8, 2019 Hello! Welcome to my fifth ever post on megan's media rants!! :) Today I will be talking about a commercial I saw on TV. It was an ad for Peloton that my brother had said caused a whole bunch of controvercity. It had a woman go through a year with a Peloton bike, and the controversy was apparently over the fact that she was already super thin. People said that it was offensive and rude for the husband to give a bike to make her get in shape if she's already in shape. When I watched the commercial I really didn't see the problem. It wasn't offencive to me and I was trying to look for the issue in it. I know that people who work out usually like getting gifts like that for Christmas, so I just interpreted it that way. To be honest when I first watched the commercial I thought the contorvercity was going to be over the gross portrait mode of filming so there were two black bars on either side but I guess I'm the only one with a problem about that.
