If I was to create a public service announcement I think I would create one about teenage stress or bullying. The reason I’d choose teenage stress is because someone like me goes through it everyday, and more people need to be aware about it. Teenage stress is a big problem in today’s society, not everyone is aware of how real this problem actually is. On the other hand, bullying is another serious topic. The reason I’d choose the topic of bullying is because I went through it myself as a young kid and I feel that it would benefit young kids if I made a public service announcement about it. Bullying is another big problem in today’s society, it is still happening and it needs to be stopped.

Greta Thunberg is a social activist wanting to stop global warming and climate change. Platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and as well she did a Ted Talk is what she uses to connect with people about the issues of global warming and climate change. Gretta uses these platforms to help get more information about the issues that she deeply cares about so more people around the world can listen. In my opinion her methods of activism are agreeable, she is only fifteen and she is already making more change than most fifteen year olds. Protesting is one way that she stands up for this cause, I personally, agree with this form of activism because I feel that it is the most effective. I personally, am not as passionate as Greta is about the causes of Global warming and Climate change but with that being said, I still think that these are serious cause that need a definite change. Global Warming and Climate change are serious causes, and just because I may not care about these causes as much as someone like Greta does does not mean that I don’t think there important. As far as the issues being up to my generation, I think that in a way it is up to us to change the world or maybe not the world but at least starting with where we live. People my age nowadays don’t care as much as they should, and I myself should change that too.

Did the film change your perceptions surrounding male body image? How does the media influence male body image? Is there an addictive component to chasing the perfect body? What realizations did some of the body builders arrive at?

Yes. This film did change my perception on male body image. Before the video I only thought about women that suffer from serious body image issues. Male body image is just as serious as women’s form of body image, even though it is not as common in the media. When we think of body image we think of women in the media typically we don’t think of men who struggle with this as well. The media influences body image ust by what someone may post online. People that may have a negative body image are typically more obsessed with the body parts that they don’t like. Being active on social media could affect how men think about their appearance. Some of the realizations that the body builders realized were that they don’t need to be doing extra workouts on top of their workouts just to gain extra muscle and “look good”.

Ed Sheeran ft. Justin Bieber “I Don’t Care”

Do you think it’ll be the hit of the summer? Why do suppose they teamed up? What is your opinion of the video?

The song “I Don’t care” has already been a great hit since it came out, so it’s definitely guarantee that it’ll be one of the greatest summer songs to listen too. This song is a catchy upbeat tune that will probably be the top hit for the summer. I’m not too sure why these two paired up just because that they are totally two different artists. In a way I feel that they paired up just for the reason that they do sound almost identical in the song.
