Here is where I got this picture Today in class we discussed meme's and ad's that went viral and brought up an immense amount of attention. The attention for the Pepsi Ad specifically, came back pretty negative and many people were not pleased with this ad whatsoever. This ad went wrong in many ways and it makes me, and plenty of other people, wonder why no one creating the ad realized the issues they were creating. The company tried to mock what seemed to be "similar" to a black lives matter movement. They knew that was relevant in the country right now, yet what they did was romanticise the protests to make them seem like they were one big happy party almost, instead of what they actually are. That being that they are heartfelt and those protesting are definitely not happy, which is the point of them protesting. The point of the protests is the issue with police brutality and how people of color are treated differently in this country than "white people.&q
Improvisation is truly unique in that you can I have no right or wrong answer. It also means that you have to agree with each other. I remember when I was playing a musical instrument I did some improvisation and I was decent at it. It was almost like a call and a response type of thing where we both had to be in the same scale and we just either make the notes sharp or flat. Improvisation is very fun to do and easy to do.
ReplyDeleteHey Bria, today in our E Society class we had an improv activity. The subject was how to organize your desk in a classroom setting. It was interesting to see how we had to think on the spot about the subject and say things that kept the conversation going. Before going up to do the improv I was hesitant because it was my first time ever doing it. Luckily with the help of my partner we got through the activity.
ReplyDeleteI agree that improv is an excellent demonstration of how groups are able to collaborate with one another to achieve an end result. Being able to take a situation and run with it is harder than it appears and it certainly takes practice for these individuals to collaborate with one another on topics that they are not familiar with. I enjoy improv because just as you referenced, there is no wrong answer, so there is room for the conversation to take interesting twists as it is carried on. It is a good example on how a variety of individuals are able to form group cohesion by similar interests.
ReplyDeleteHey, Bria! I agree with what you said on how improv is really interesting because I'm honestly in love with the idea in general. I just find it super fun and it's a pretty easy-going game that always lightens the mood. I find that in everyday life we are sort of improvising our actions when meeting and working with new people so it helps to be comfortable in yourself and to not be afraid to make mistakes because there aren't any in improv anyway. It's crazy that we sometime's don't realize that we are improvising or using Tuckman's 5 Stages of Group Development when we are doing things throughout our everyday lives so learning about how this can affect us in a great manner is nice to learn.
