Media Literature Final Exam
I enjoyed a lot of topics covered in this course. I especially enjoyed learning about media and how it portrays stereotypes. I didn't realize the "big six" companies owned so many smaller companies. That was interesting to me. I wish we could have learned more about using the Internet. I feel as if the Internet is a main part of our lives today and many people aren't very good at using it.

Lyrics that talk to you
Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
These lyrics are compelling to me because I feel as if every girl would like to hear something like this from their boy friend, and it really isn't something we hear very often. Listening to this song makes me think of my boy friend and when he says nice things like that to me. This song makes me happy, and I start to think about happy things instead of bad things.
When I hear this song it makes me think of my boy friend and that makes me smile. I love it when he says nice things like that to me. It makes my day. Sometimes he will mess around and sing it to me to make me smile, so when I hear this song, it reminds me of when he sings it to me and automatically makes me happy. I am sure when most girls hear this song they automatically think of their boy friends or husbands and start to smile and become happy. This song most likely plays a positive roll on may lives.
There is many different types of music out in the world. Everyone has their favorite type of music. There is music that fits just about every holiday, and songs that can just be played on a regular daily basis. Music is composed in very many different ways and moods. Happy people most likely enjoy happy up-beat music and sad and depressed people are most likely able to relate to sad and depressing music. There is certain music out to motivate certain people and some music out in the world to help others relax. There are so many different types of music and so many different types of people in the world. There is something out there for everyone.

The Big Six
I have never realized all these smaller companies are really part of one big company. I was surprised at what companies owned which television shows and surprised at some of the companies that owned certain websites. A disadvantage at only having six companies in charge of all of this is that many ideas could be different if it was broken down in to a lot more smaller companies. There would be more jobs available for others, and probably many more creative minds and different television shows out. I feel as if the Big Six controls all of the media seeing there really isn't any other companies or anyone else that has any say in what happens, unless they are part of one of the Big Six companies. One of my predictions was right on the activity, my other prediction was off. It is hard to tell which company is in charge of what, seeing many of them deal with the same types of media. What stood out in the activity for me were where I placed somethings thinking I was right, but really I was way off on my guesses. I really enjoyed this activity, I defiantly learned a lot I didn't know. I never really knew the Big Six existed.
Many people are out in the streets watching teens and interviewing them. Some interviewers even pay teens to interview them to see what is "cool" and what isn't "cool" at the time. They like to see what teens do on their free time, and what they wear. They may ask them what they like and why, and what they don't like and why to get ideas so create things teenagers will spend their money on. I feel like many teens get their dressing and much of their attitude off television. They see something that looks good or looks fun on television and decide to copy that, thinking it is the ideal way they should be. This happens all of the time and shows that television is only reflecting the real world "media is only a mirror."
