Blog #5

this class has been very informative to me this semester. I have learned a lot about the different kinds of critiques to apply to topics. My most favorite part of the class is the open discussions that we had about the topics we read or watched. It was great to see all of the different ideas everyone had. The film about the food industry was very enlightening. It showed me how food companies can treat their employees and how the development from farmer to grocery store takes place. Also, the parts we discussed about the women in sports and politics was very interesting. It was very educational to learn how women are viewed by their looks than by the stories they tell. The parts on Disney films, to me, were greatly exaggerated. In my opinion, the writers already had personal biases and hatred for the Disney films. Why can't they just be fun and whimsical for children. If we were to force children to critique these films as adults, then they won't get to enjoy the childlike fantasy of the cartoons. My least favorite discussions were the race topics. Too much emphasis these days is put on race. Why? If we are such an advanced society, why do people keep doing this? It just propetuates hate and focuses on race, not the individual. So, to sum up, I had a blast in this class and learned a lot.
