 What was learned... The second video we watched centers around consuming children, and how ad companies are poisoning and brainwashing our children into buying buying buying, and how something must be done. First of all, in America the government cannot control companies or people, beyond making sure nothing illegal is going on. Any other form of control is communism. So when this video is stating that the government should learn and control companies to make sure they don't brainwash children. If the government starts to control businesses in one way, then that is the first step to a communist government, along with universal healthcare and one sided videos being shown to children. This video does show that there was once a movement that tried to ban advertisement to children due to its brainwashing effects, but it was revoked by the Reagan administration. Wow, two republican presidents blamed in two videos. Doesn't that seem like brainwashing, which these videos are against. Interesting. Here in America, the land of opportunity, it should be the companies' choice of how to do business, not someone else's. It is not the government or the advertiser's job to tell the child or parent what is an actually good product, that is the job of the educated parent. Taking away the rights of companies is standing against everything that this country lives for, and has lived for for almost 300 years, and taking away those rights, forcing companies into how they do business, and what is there business, is pure communism. The third video we watched is called 'Trashed' and it centers around how we are throwing away too much, and of course global warning. The main example that is given is the Pacific Gyre. This is basically an area in the Pacific Ocean where there is supposedly a lot of trash. It is also stated that it is as big as two United States. First of all, is this the area in which there is trash to be found, not where there is always trash. This means that there are large gaps and areas where little or no trash can be found. But once again this video is being used to spin the truth into something much worse than it actually is. The second problem I have with this video is how they talk a lot about it being our fault, our responsibility. If they mean our as in America, then they are sadly mistaken because the main contributors to the gyre, and even trash itself, is the eastern countries. Now if they mean our as in us as a planet, then that is pure supporting of global nationalism (one world, one country, one government), another main idea of modern day communism that I talked about earlier. Three communist principles in three videos, interesting. There is one more principle that I would like to talk about, that played a major part in all three videos: Global Warming. Now what exactly is global warming? Most will tell you that it is the warming of the earth and thus the melting of glaciers, killing of polar bears, less snow, less earth, dirtier air, all by human cause. This is complete rubbish. Global warming is a term that was invented a couple years ago during the long streak of republican presidents, except for Bill Clinton. The Democrats hadn't had a good president that had done a lot in a while, so the yhad to figure out a way to get the next election going the way they wanted. They came up with the famous Al Gore, and global warming, and it being the worst thing that had ever happened. There were two purposes to this. The first was to scare people that we were going down the drain, and so was our planet, and the animals, and forests, and fish, and all that stuff. So once everyone is scared, and wondering what to do, here's where the magic comes in. Al Gore, or Obama, or a state representative or town selectman or whoever would say 'I can fix this'. And it works! Al Gore barely lost the presidential race, and Obama won! Do you remember when back when he was campaigning about how Obama talked about helping the earth and whatnot? Well, he's been president, and what's he done about it? Nothing. It's all in the campaign, getting people to think one thing so you do something expecting another thing in return, only to see that that is not the case at all. Propaganda, having government spin the media into thinking none thing, but having entirely different intentions. Most of the info about global warming anyway was either 'lost' or 'destroyed' or 'misplaced' (all of those words had been used at one time or another to explain the lack of evidence of global warming and its effects.)or simply taken form outdated sources, and blatantly made up! My closing statement is just that what makes me mad the most, is the who lopsidedness of this unit, and the lack of info from both sides, for this is school, and in school we are told to learn. So if we are told to learn about one thing, which is unfair, untrue, unsupported, unreliable, then that takes away the very usefulness of school, and actually brainwashes us into thinking whatever the government wants us to think, despite half the unit talking about going against so-called brainwashing of young children by advertising. In its greatest form, this unit is just a load of misinformation, and outright hippocracy. Article posted April 21, 2010 at 07:35 AM • comment • Reads 1154 • see all articles |
