Stay true to who???

I wrote about this in the past, but with a different view. Now after listening to the same ad more than ten different times I’ve changed how I viewed it. For one of my two jobs you are allowed to listen to music and for the most part I listen to Pandora, which plays ads if you don’t pay for it monthly. Do to the fact that I am a broke college student I just live with the ads. The ad I looked at is the For Stay True To You the campaign to keep teenagers away from drugs. This one in particular is about smoking weed. It starts off with a student saying that he feels as if he’s the only one who doesn't smoke, but then that he found out he’s not alone and is surrounded by a few other students. The ad then goes on to tell the facts about high schoolers smoking weed. The ad was done using actors, but none that looked familiar to me.

The internet and its ads

Each ad you see is different depending on the product and the social media site that it is located on. On Instagram I looked into my favorite brand of lipsticks social media platform.

Social Media is a huge part of our lives now a days but how much does it help us. This week our class looks at twitter and what it does for us. I've had a twitter since I was in high school and haven't really thought about what it does to offer any sort of help to the community or country at all. For twitter I follow mainly my friends or people who post funny things such as Ryan Reynolds and Christine Teigen. I do follow buzz-feed that post articles about the current things going on in the world as well as the random quizzes a person can take to figure out what kind of dog they would be. I don't use twitter for anything more than entertainment and I rarely look at the news that is on my feed so the best tweet I've seen lately has been a story about the rapper 2 Chainz turning one of his old "trap houses" into and HIV clinic. This stood out to me because not very often to people are in a position of fame take their own belongings to help those in need and to th
