2/6- Ads from the Past= Not for Shows at All!

As I look at these ads, it makes me wonder why people make these kinds of ads. I think that these ads are very un-appropriate because others may sometimes believe that these kinds of ad back in the days are true, but their NOT! People makes these kind of advertisements just to make money and they think its funny and it will attract the audience to believe that it is true. But really, advertisement are just for shows meaning that "it is just a form of communication intended to persuade its viewers, readers, or listeners to make some actions". I think that advertising can be either a good or bad thing. The good part about it is it increases (dramatically) your sales. And the bad part about it is that there is too much junk food, un-appropriate pictures, and etc, that appeals to childrens.

With these kinds of ads, the people would do any kinds of things just to get consumers to buy anything and use their products! The first ad that I saw blew me away! "Eat! Eat! Eat! & Always stay Thin!" I think that the title is wrong, because if you eat a lot of food and especially junk, you can get fat and at any chance you won't be able to stay thin that is because the junk that you eat gives you a lot of calories and gets you fat and its impossible for you to stay thin if your always going to be eating every hour/minutes. This advertisement shows you that you can eat all you want, now I dont think that people would want to eat everything. I am 100% for sure that this advertisement is giving everyone a wrong message. It's because Tapeworms in humans is an organism which lives off the host, in this case you or me. The parasite of tapeworms will lives its complete life inside our bodies, feeding on our own energy, our own cells or the food we consume. The first ad gives us wrong message and others who read it! This is why we should all know that most advertisements aren't true and that we should always be careful of the things we buy because it can damage our bodies, and etc.

The second ad that shows a man and woman. I think that this ad is very un-appropriate because the man thinks that smoking and breathing on the woman will always have a woman following them. Smoking and people being around that smoker can catch second-hand and it can affect your body. I really think that smoking is really bad because you can get lung cancer and it can cause you sickness through your body and you won't be able to live a longer life. In my opinion, people who smokes should stop because many things can affect your body and the people around you and also it can affect our environment; which can kill our surroundings. In this ad, it shows me that woman likes it when mans smoke in front of them? I totally DISAGREE! because most womans hate smokers! They don't like their mans smoking and smelling bad because they can catch sickness from it! This ad also gives us wrong message because smoking will not have others following you. People should QUIT smoking!

The third ad is showing a happy looking family walking and they are happy because they eat LARD! I think that this advertisement shows us a wrong message because lard refers to pig fat in both its rendered and unrendered forms. Lards are commonly used in many cuisines as a cooking fat or shoterning, or as a spread similar to butter. Its use in contemporary cuisine has diminished because of health concern posed by its saturated fat content and its often negative image; however many contemporary cooks and bakers favor it over other fats for select uses! In order for you and your family to stay healthy and live a happy life, its important to eat and stick into eating vegetables and other kinds of food and not just lard!

The fourth ad shows that a doctor is advertising a type of brand of cigarettes called "Camels". As a doctor, they shouldn't be smoking at all because they are the ones that gives advices to their patient telling them that they should smoke at all. But this doctor is encouraging people to smoke. This advertisement is giving everyone a wrong message because smoking is bad for you! Smoking can give you a wrong message because people think that smoking can make you look cool, but really it doesn't because smoking can lead you to death.

In Conclusion, I was very shocked when I saw these advertisements from the past because they are giving everyone wrong messages. I think that the past from the ads are more un-appropriate than the ads now. The ads from the past shouldn't be shown around public because it will appeal quickly to others. With these kinds of ads, I will not listen to their messages because I DISAGREE with all the message that their telling everyone. Even if some these ads are exaggerated and showing people a bad example, there are still some restrictions.  I know that some people don't believe some of the messages that the ad gives/shows us which is good, but for those people who believe the messages that the ad gives you, I suggest that you shouldn't believe it because will bring you into a wrong direction.

1/6- Oh COOL, Google Street View?

We should all know that google has launched their new application called "Google Street View". Google Street View shows images provided by special patrol cars with roof-mounted 360-degree cameras, which take pictures of every road and street in the cities we drive through. People simply type in an address, and then it can be viewed as an ordinary map, a satellite image, or a 3D photograph.

The first time I went on the "Google Street View" website, I thought that it'd looked pretty cool. I tried to search up my address to see my house, but it wouldn't show up. It's probably because I moved into a new town house and they haven't updated it. Even if I can't see my house, I can see other places where I usually go. I think that this application is exciting because you can see your family members and friends houses and you can also see if they're in the picture! Thus, if I were in a public space without being aware, I think that I would feel exposed because everyone can see what you're doing without your permission. And people can just stalk you randomly and you won't even know. The disadvantages of Google Street View would be that there would be no privacy. Our community members house, faces, and their plate numbers will be shown through the Web. Even if their faces are blurred out and their cars, I think that it is still wrong to put images like that on the Web because people will know who you are and can just follow you that quick! Even if I think that this website is cool, I don't think that it's right for Google to post images on websites, where everyone will be able to have an access to it. Google recognizes privacy concerns, but claims to address them through their collection and processing approach: (1) public access images, no different than what would normally be seen walking down the street. (2) not in real time, so images can be months old befor going live. (3) allowing removal requests, through the "Report a Problem" option in the bottom-left of all images.

In conclusion, I realized that it is unreasonable to object to this as a privacy violation, for reasons that are especially clear in this particular case. Quite literally, there is going to be a nearly "one-to-one" correlation between the Google Street View dataset and the real world. Thus, while your image might be available to everybody, so are millions of other images. One might expect that at any given moment, the proportion of people interested in the Google picture of the specific place you were the day the google car spotted you is very roughly the same as those interested in that specific spot in real life at any given moment. Thus, for exactly the same reason you only saw a few people on the street with you at the moment the picture was taken, it's likely only a few people are interested, at one time, in that picture. We have to stop treating publication on the internet as a black-or-white phenomenon when it comes to privacy because it is rapidly gaining the presence of physical in terms of our communications and our expectations for online privacy will have to adopt some shades of grey if we were to avoid a disputable free-for-all. Just as there can be relative degrees of invisibility in physical space, we must recognize that the same concept can exist in virtual spaces!
