some model show
So, I have never really been a big TV person, I have just never found time to let myself get hooked on TV series so instead I just watch movies and listen to music every once in awhile. Anyway, the place where my husband and I are living right now has a work out room so i decided to view some media while i ran on the tread mill. This model show, I believe it was project runway or something came on and it was hilarious to watch. All the girls were extremely thin and they all had cliques and were catty like girls in junior high or something. It was saturated with the typical woman our society conveys in the media. I also found some of the commercials very interesting. There was one for a scary murder show about college sorority girls and it really did get my adrenaline going which helped me run faster like we talked about with the "excitation transfer theory". This station was definitely geared at women and teenage girls because the content of the show and the commercials were all very feminine and materialistic and worldly.

I know what you mean about the cliques and social drama. I have watched many episodes of America's Next Top Model, and many of the girls gossip or openly fight. I think it is definitely a negative side effect of the stress and competition.
ReplyDeleteI love that you paid attention to the commercials that went along with this show, because that's something I never would have noticed until this class. However, they are important to be aware of and do have an underlying effect on us at times. The excitation transfer theory is a confusing one and it's nice to get an example of it in the media that we see and listen to every day.
