In order to determine the topic of one of these speeches, one can examine their titles because they generally offer viewers a comprehensive idea of the speaker’s thesis and main ideas. Characteristically, the speaker offers his audience subject matter either that no one has previously contemplated or that may seem obvious at first, though most people have never actually considered it. In “Listen and Learn,” Nathan Heller points out that much of the subject matter covered within TED conferences involves “world-changing ideas” (69). World-changing topics describe something the viewers frequently encounter or are able to foresee impacting them on a significant level in their lives. Considering the title of Anderson’s talk, “How Web Video Powers Global Innovation,” it becomes evident that web video, something the vast majority of people encounter multiple times per day, is something that creates a clear impact in lives around the world.
Breadwinner, the word that told thousands of women in the early 20th century that their roles were limited to meal preparation and housework because only men were deemed capable of achieving success and earning a steady income. The early 20th century was characterized by the Roaring Twenties, which was a period of dramatic social, economic, and political change. This period of mass consumerism was also characterized by many other factors such as the Jazz Age, prohibition, the Great Depression, and later WWI. Although this was a period of change, a group of individuals who didn’t see much change in their favor were women. Therefore, in the early 20th century, women were seen as secondary to men and had little to no freedom because of their inability

I believe that one other pro of the “youtube effect” is that just like Moises Naim stated in his article, When a video is posted to platforms such as Youtube, it gains more of a permanent presence with the help of bloggers and youtube enthusiasts as apposed to seeing something in the news that most people would end up forgetting about in a few days, Which brings me to the cons of the “Youtube effect”. In Naim’s article he talks about a downside to youtube and how with manipulation, it is harder to know what is real and what is not. I agree with that point because today, there are so many people that know how to photoshop and manipulate videos and photos
In his article "Netflix’s Plan to Rule the World" published in The New York Times, Farhad Manjoo describes how Netflix is changing the way we consume media and how it is using a strategy of open-border digital cosmopolitanism to gain viewers all over the world. The author argues that this strategy is fundamentally different from the one adopted by other companies that aim to sell American ideas to a foreign audience, as Netflix's goal is to sell international ideas to a global audience. Manjoo supports his argument by discussing the diverse and eclectic tastes of Netflix's viewers and the incentives created by the company's subscription-based business model. He also gives examples of some of the most watched and culturally significant productions

The main media’s used are social media and television which are the main focus of chapter 9. Shirky’s article “Why I Just Asked My Students To Put Their Laptops Away” begins to talk about a way that people investigate and draw conclusions about the intersection of technology and everyday life. While Elavia writes about how reality shows are viewer driven rather producer or network driven. One thing social media and television have in common is how much of an impact they have on today. Everywhere you look there are ‘perfect’ images being displayed representing unrealistic goals.

In 1950, about 3.8 million American households had a television, as of December 2022, that number has skyrocketed to 122.4 million. We all know about tv, it sits in our living rooms and we watch every once in a while when an actual decent show comes on, but you may not know how influential television has been in our lives. Our social norms and the way we act have all been influenced by what we watch on the big screen. The people we watch in shows and movies become our role models and who we aspire to be. Throughout its years, television has been used as a platform of change and helps bring awareness to different issues.

This rising generation does not have the patience to sit through the commercials on cable television. All of their entertainment is easily streamed through Netflix or YouTube. YouTube has become so massive and widespread that youth these days could, and will, spend an entire day watching 5-10 minute videos. Parents do not want their children having this much time watching a screen.
Racism, defined in moderation as prejudice or discrimination towards another race, deeming one’s own race as superior, is and has been a very hot topic in today’s society. Racism can range from anything to refusing service because of the color of skin, to blatantly killing an African American boy who’s walking down a street with an Arizona Tea and a pack of skittles. Living in a post-Obama administration, Americans believed that this country was finally a post-racist society. However, actions, both consciously and subconsciously, show otherwise. African Americans, or any person of color, have to constantly be on guard against racists acts.
You’ve watched more than 2 hours of TV, and you get ready for dinner. When you turn the TV off you suddenly get a shock of pain in your head, you ignore it, but when you stand up you feel dizzy. Then after all this, your eyes start itching so you use your hand and scrub your eyes, but the itch and the pain just doesn’t stop. Has this ever happen to you? Well, it happened to me lots of times.
The third aspect of the video that I studied was the camera angles, this aspect is significant because its shows up what we are meant to be looking at and focusing on. Evidence of this aspect is how the whole music video apart from one important bit is filmed only as a mid-shot. The camera angle of mid-shot helps to represent the hurt the girl is put through, through this shot we are able to see and feel every single emotion that she portrays through her facial expressions. By using a mid-shot the camera is so close to her face that while watching the video that only thing you have to look at is the girl, this gives a clear idea about what is important and the main focal point. Since her eyes are showing so much emotion we are not only looking into her eyes but her soul which I mentioned earlier, we are linked
