Module #5

This video influences our Limbic and Neocortex brains. Limbic – because it is a pleasure for us to see all these famous people in the video. And Neocortex – because we listen to the message of the actors, think about their “advice” and then we read the web site addresses (and will probably register).


BANDWAGON – There are lots of people involved in the video and in the end they all say that they will vote. It makes us want to be in the group and it persuades us to vote.

RHETORICAL QUESTIONS – The main question of the commercial is like “Do you care about our future?” It makes us to think about the answer, which brings to the result that we need to vote.

FEAR – When we watch this video we understand that if we do not vote it will NEGATIVELY influence our future: education, economy etc. and it makes us feel the fear and vote.

TESTIMONIAL - All “participants” of the video are famous and respected people and of course we will trust them and will be sure that voting is important.

DENIAL – Even the name of this video is “Do NOT vote”, though its aim is to make people vote. While saying “don’t vote” they manage to explain that it is better to vote.

HUMOR – This video is not funny, but it has humor, especially in the last few seconds.

We must help them!!!

Some days ago, when we went home from school we saw a man who tried to find something in the trash. It was very regrettable view, but we didn’t know how to help him. Then we went to him and asked some questions. He said that he has a family: wife and two adult children. He said that nobody works besides him, but when we asked why, he answered that they can’t find a job but they want it very much.
While we were talking to him some of his neighbors offered him to clean the yard for money - just 100 AMD (about 0.3 USD). People were behaving with him with contempt.
Here is a snapshot from the interview video…


What I want to say is that I think if a person really needs and wants to work he/she will find any job for sure. We MUST help them!!! What can we do to for it??? If you have any ideas and suggestions leave a comment please.

Skiing

I like extreme very much!!! For me skiing is sport, extreme, hobby and fun!!! My father taught me to ski, when I was over ten years old. Every winter I go to Tsakhkadzor (in Armenia) with my family, but this year we went to Austria to ski. It was very interesting travel for all of us!!! Nature in Austria is very beautiful. There were three lines for skiing: blue-which was easy, red-which was not so easy but not so hard too and black-which was very sloping and very hard!!! My mother started to ski this year and she always went by the blue line. My father skis very well that’s why he could choose the line he wants. And what about me: I ski well and I always went by the red line, but one day I asked my father to take me to the black line. It was so fun, you can’t imagine:)But I can’t say that it was easy for me, it was really very hard and even I thought that I would not reach the end. After skiing we were always very tired and very hungry :)

There I wanted to learn how to ski "sitting", but every time I fell down. This is a video, where I managed to ski "sitting" without falling down.Here I passed between my father’s legs.

Module #3

Our brains on media



Our brains has three parts: Reptilian, Limbic and Neocortex.
The first video is influencing our Limbic Brain, because during this video we see many different colourful images: rainbow, clowns, animals, flowers, balloons etc. and hear a music which gives us a lot of positive emotions. Than we read the massage and understand. So it is influencing our Neocortex Brain.
I like this video:)
