Mass Media influence on Today´s Society
I just found this video, it is made by a student and i found an interesting comment that made me think a lot of things.
Ever heard the quote,
"He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future."
- 1984 -- George Orwel

Book – The Giver Author Lois Lowry
A controlled society
This book is a short novel that tells a story about a community that is control by the Giver. This man controls the society, so no one feels pain, hunger, hatred, or illness. He also controls certain needs and emotions. There is no prejudice for every one looks basically the same. He controls the family’s size by only allowing one girl and one boy per family and also who each one spouse will be, but the children are born by a birth mother and assigned to each family. Every one is studied closely and found a spot in society. If they could not be integrated into the society that was created and control so well they were released. With out giving the book away I will only say this The Giver and the controlled society doesn’t allow for choice. The people in this society have never experienced choice making or suffering and there for can not appreciate the true joy of life.
I have added the link for the overview of the book. This book is a keeper and is shared in the elementary libraries of schools every where and is implemented in the curriculum as well.

Secret Societies –Bilderberg Group
Do they really exits or not?
This is an interesting question to ask you’re self. Do you feel that there is a more powerful government out there than the one we all see in everyday media? Even though, their existence is denied by many and is in great controversy, as whether they really are a secret society that shapes the world around us or not . It is said the group came into existence in 1954 just after the World War II with the most powerful men and women in the world. These men and women started meeting in a luxurious Hotel called the Bilderberg of a small Dutch town. It is said that at these meetings they debated the future of the world and to date meet once every year somewhere in the world plotting the silent takeover of constitutional government everywhere, and also to exchange ideas and analyze international affairs. With the goal in mind of New World Government order. On the flip side some say that the reason they meet in secrecy every year is because they don’t want the media involved, All though they can be present they must never publish the meeting in whole or in part . They say it allows the men and women in power a chance to discuss world issues without having the media twist what was being exchanged and this is why the great secrecy. But just to mention a few things about the Bilderbergs it is said that they are going to control the population. By the water we drink, aspartame, Additives, and the Flu vaccine will be said to be voluntary but its actually mandatory. Take a look at some of the other devastation's in the world is there a link. How do they come up with the names such as SARS, or the N1 H1, AVIAN Flu, Like really maybe its just me but I always felt that the virus' and different things we encounter world wide are made at government level. I could very well be wrong and that is why I encourage everyone who reads this to research the secret societies that exist and come up with your own conclusion. If nothing else it’s really good reading.

Policing the G20
As we all or mostly know, during summer of 2010, Toronto played host to the G20 summit. More or less the leaders of the 20 most powerful economy's gathering behind closed doors. And we all know there were protests, we also know there was a police clash with the protesters, but... did the police use their 930 Million of the 1.1 billion dollar budget correctly though.
as the so called "Black Bloc" was running rampent through the streets, causing vandelisim and destruction, there was nearly no police presance, and the small ammount that there was were ordered to retreat. they had about 16,000 police men on hand that weekend. this same weekend after the "Black Bloc" had retreated into the masses of the crowd, the police turned on the rest of the protesters, the peaceful ones, in increasingly more violent and demeaning ways. That weekend we witnessed what can happen if police are given total control, we witnessed the fall of rights and freedoms, if only for a short time.
Dont believe me??

In Monday's class we talked about money. One thing after class that came into my head was Titanic (cliche I know but..oh well. Although it does not directly relate to money is does show the power dynamic between the upper and lower class and how much social control and power the rich had over the poor, as when getting off the ship, the rich were first, where the poor were almost forgotten. with our above average knowledge of power we can look at this movie in a whole different setting, while the power was always there..its interesting to look at it in a deeper level.

The power of water
What can travel for miles and miles with no end and no start?
Causes destruction with everything it comes into contact with and has the ability to suck the life out of everything in its wake. It's Able to take control over every inch of being, every nook and cranny there is to find. It has the ability of finding the weakest of the weakest, and engulfs the vulnerable in a matter of minutes until there is no distinction between start and end. It has the influence of control and power, with no holds barred not caring if you are human, animal or structural. It has the ability to take control over all until all is blanketed by the power of its force.

Panda Commercial (Marketing & Power)
I think this commercial was produced in Middle East, I am not pretty sure but it is about a cheese brand. This commercial shows us the power that someone (Panda Bear) can have over us.
Les, I think you are teaching Marketing, this commercial could help you to show to your students.
Here is the link:
