Media’s Spring Break 2007
Being on spring break this week and also trying to think about what I should write about for blogs I decided I could write a blog on how media affects what people should do on spring break. The best example that I believe media uses to tell us whats “cool” for spring break is in TV shows and movies. One of my favorite shows they have the main characters go to Florida and find themselves on an MTV show licking whip cream off girls belly’s. Media gives people the idea that you should spend your spring break at the ocean, drinking beer, and dancing to music. Also media gives this idea through billboards. I just say a billboard that said something about “how are you spending your spring break”. It then had a picture of cans of beer on the beach with the sun setting in the back ground. Media doesn’t give you a choice on what is cool to do on spring break. Media wants us to think what is supposed to be involved during spring break and so we go with that instead of making up our own minds.
