High School Football

The video we watched in class showed us how much  more intense high school football has become. Football players have dreams of getting a scholarship and continuing their career not only in college but have high hopes to making it to the big league. In order to become the best though, a lot of work it needed inside and outside of football season. As we saw in the video, players are training all year long through all types of weather conditions. Kids suffer from heat strokes during the summer when the temperature can get as hot as 115 degrees. Our generation is obsessed with the idea of winning. Most of us will do anything to be the best and to win which can be dangerous in football. There's also a big problem with the amount of concussions that happen during football practices and games which leads to brain damage later on in life. The expectations our society has on winning today puts a lot of pressure on these young high school athletes.

Romance

Everyone wants the perfect relationship like the kind of love  Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling share in The Notebook. The way mass media has portrayed love has everyone getting their hopes up when they face reality. Even song lyrics make us fall in love with the type of relationship we want to have. Klosterman called this "fake love" that we are all addicted to. Fake love is something we all wish we had, an absolute romantic, spontaneous relationship. But we know it's not true so we cling on to songs or movies that display fake love relationships.

Jean Kilbourne would  not agree with this advertisement because of how "dehumanizing" it is. In this ad, they are trying to sell a car but the car is not the main focus as you can tell. By using a woman and a man in bed, they are trying to draw an older audience to notice. For some reason, people tend to read more and actually read the ad if there is some type of sexual scene displayed. Sex is used to get attention of buyers and every company does it.
