Propaganda Technique

This is an example of black and white fallacy, which is an ad that two has two sides. If you're with one side than you're against the other, or the enemy of the other side. Basically saying that your with something or you're not- http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/graphics/propaganda_shutmouth.jpg

Direct order is used to simplify the decision making process by using images and words to tell the audience exactly what actions to take, eliminating any other possible choices. This ad is very well known , and was used to get people into the army. http://ranger25.com/Ranger25Photos/I%20WANT%20YOU.jpg

The big lie explains the repeated articulation of a complex of events that justify subsequent action. This ad was also know as a stab in the back, which blamed the Jews for the underlining reason of why the Germans were defeated n WWI

Internet

I believe i'm addicted to the internet, because whenever I'm at home or at a library I have to be on my laptop. Sometimes I go on repeated cites just to make sure I didn't miss anything or to see if anything new has come up. My laptop that I have right now, is the first computer or laptop I have ever had. Maybe because this is my first computer or laptop I just use it so much because I've never had one. I always check yahoo and the articles they have, and i also check my fantasy teams on yahoo. I'll spend like an hour just on my fantasy teams. I go on other basketball websites to see highlights and rumors about trades and stuff. I constantly check amazon and ebay for clothes and other necessities. I also always look for clothes to buy on the internet, because their is so much more on the internet than in a store or a mall. I also check for new songs on the internet everyday. I also procrastinate on Facebook, as does probably 95% of the people on Facebook. I also check some other websites that talk about all sports as well. Their is so much to do on the internet I don't ever think I'll be un-addicted to the internet.

The Medium is the Message

I have not seen a new movie this year but from last year I would have to say my favorite movie was Inception. It was amazing because it was a mind baffling movie, and the concept of the movie plot was very unique and interesting. One of my favorite movies of all time has to be Rush Hour 2. I loved the acting of Chris Tucker, I thought he played a hysterical role in the movie. An oldie I love is Heavyweights. The kids and Ben stiller were so funny in the movie. I saw all these movies in theaters.
