Final Project

Cancel Culture & Free Expression In today's digital world, cancel culture has become a powerful force its capable of taking celebrities and influencers from the height of their careers to severe public disapproval. Today I am going to be to be discussing cancel culture and free expression specifically in online spaces like YouTube and social media platforms. Cancel culture is similar to a mob mentality in everyone honing in on the accused party. Cancel culture has become one of the most influential and controversial aspects of the digital age. It refers to the widespread practice of withdrawing support -- whether socially, professionally, or financially -- from public figures after they have or possibly have not done or said something offensive or problematic. While it began as a tool for the everyday people of the world to hold powerful people accountable, cancel culture has evolved into a complex cultural phenomenon that raises questions about free speech, accountability and ...

  INTRODUCE: I chose this particular recording because Tory Lanez is one of my favorite artists. His newest album PETERSON stands out because it has recorded all from prison. The album isn't really in the news but just Tory Lanez information in general is in the news. PETERSON is Tory Lanez newest album that was released on March 7th. It has 20 songs adding up to 1 hour and 27 minutes of music.

Media Blog Project 1

  Introduction:  Most of us currently can't drink alochol but we have no doubt seen an ad for alcohol on the TV. I am going to be discussing one of the alcohol ad's but this is probably an alcohol that you have probably not seen before because it actually has zero alcohol in it. You probably haven't seen the ad unless you watch a specific sport. I am going to be discussing a Heineken ad I saw while watching a Formula 1 race. You probably will have not seen this ad before unless you watch Formula 1 since it includes a famous driver in the ad. This ad got my attention because I do not like this specific driver featured in the ad. This ad is important because it shows the importance of a designated driver.  Describe:  1. The content is a group of friends is drinking in a bar several different times. Every time they go to the car Max does not drink. There are 3 men and a lady one of the men is Max Verstappen. At the end of the night they ask "Who is driving?" and ...

Week 1 Blog Post

Hello my name is Kiya Hill I am a first year student who is dual enrolled at Linn Benton and Oregon State. I am currently studying Zoology. My career goals are to become a zookeeper or an animal ambassador at a zoo or aquarium or to do research for endangered animals. I choose Linn Benton so that my college tuition costs could be cheaper because I do have to pay for my own college. And as well for the small classes size which are very beneficial because you are able to get help more easily.  What I am most interested in learning about is how media can positively impact our lives because I feel like you always see ways it can negatively impact lives. But I love media and I think it can be a good thing sometimes and I feel like we need to realize what that is and focus on it so media can be seen in a positive light more.  One of the things I am passionate about is gymnastics. I did competitive gymnastics for 9 years and I did gymnastics in total for 15 years. So gymnastics has a...
