Chapter 2 Media Impact
Question: Does media have a big impact on our society?
Answer: Most certainly does.

Movies

My favorite movie from 2009 would have to be The Blind Side. I like this movie so much because of the story. It showed a kid who really came from nothing and he was given a chance to get out of it and he did. My favorite movie of all time is Friday Night Lights. This is a great movie, and i can watch it whenever. I love how in the end they lose and it breaks away from the "hollywood" endings. I saw both of these movies in movies and at home.

Magazines

Proposal: LFL (Lingerie Football league)

Concept: This idea is different from other magazines because it is one of its own and there is no magazine covering this sport. This magazine would be like a maxim and a football magazine together. There would be pictures in lingerie and articles about the games that the girls play in.

Readers: The readers would be men usually around the age of sixteen to the age of thirty. So the young male, who is interested in sports and the opposite sex.

Five advertisers would have to be car dealers, insurance companies, food companies, the National Football League, clothing companies, and watch companies.

Five articles that would be in the premier issue would be one a article introducing the game to everyone and describing what to look for, an article on a big game, a article on a certain girl and photos on her, an article that is just B.S. and funny thats sole purpose is for laughs, and then an article looking forward to the next weeks games.

The cover of the magazine would have either a team of the league or a girl of the league on the cover. It will be very colorful. It also will include the topics that are talked about in the magazine on the cover. 

Books

Three books that have had the most influence in my life would have to be Green Eggs and Ham, Captain Underpants, and The Bible. Green Eggs and ham is one of the most influential books in my life because it was the first book I ever read all the way through with no mistakes. So it will always be in my memory. Captain Underpants is another influential book for me because I never was fond of reading, but i loved reading Captain Underpants, so it really helped me ready more so thats why it stays with me. The last book is The Bible. This is the most influential book out of all for me. it is the basis of my religon and has helped me change my life around. I wasn't going down the right path and I got into trouble and it really changed my life around drastically and you can find it right next to my bed. Since it hass drastically changed my life I dont plan on ever leaving it behind.

media impact

I believe a good research project for looking into how big the medias impact is on us, would be to see if kids who watch violent programs growing up, do they tend to live more violent lives, or is it just in the person to be violent. The methodology that I would use, would most likely be the social learning theory. I would test my hypothesis by having a big group of children and have some watch only violent programs, another group who watches no violent programs and then a group who watches both. This would show me if people do become more violent due to the media. I think that my results would show that it makes  little to no difference, and that it come more from how the parents act then things they watch.
