The Layers of Meaning After studying media for the past two semesters, I am now a more cautious consumer and wary watcher of the influences on my life. As advertisers bombard me with television and print media offerings to buy, sell, drink, eat, wear, drive, smoke, and use a vast array of products and services, I conclude that there is no escape from these images except moving to a desert island — not a viable solution at this time. Not only do the media seek to empty my pockets of hard-earned
advertisement of the Marlboro cigarette. Marlboro started out as a woman’s cigarette and then they completely transformed into a man’s cigarette. The cigarette has a red strip on the tip which was consideration as a way to hide woman’s lipstick when they smoked. They got the idea to change their market from woman to men when a man changed his sex to a female. They had to change it from a tea room smoke to a manly cowboy kind of smoke, so they used a cowboy to do this. This was known as the Marlboro man. He even
smokers may perceive certain brands as more sophisticated, and therefore they shy away from other lesser-known brands. For example, a person who smoked generic cigarettes at the bar may be perceived as uncultured. On the other hand, the smoker with the Marlboro Lights may be more socially accepted because they have a brand name product (Focus group). Many types of cigarettes cater to the many markets of smokers who want to portray a certain image in social settings. Tobacco companies do not create the need
as dominant and cultural war ideologies are evident in the famous Marlboro Man ads. According to the course text, it is best to look at ads that are at odds with our contemporary opinions as this helps differences in assumptions to be more readily apparent (Croteau, Hoynes, &, Milan, 2012). Following this guideline an infamous ad campaign was that of the Marlboro Man (Tobacco.org, 2011). I can remember as a child seeing the Marlboro ads on the backs of magazines. To me the denotation was always very
“I even kissed James Garner in an elevator once. I loved him deeply, despite that our relationship lasted 47 seconds” (“About the Pioneer Woman”). The public knows her by the Pioneer Woman, but her name is Ree (Ann Marie Ree Mahoney.) Ree has done many wonderful things and will do several more. Ree was born in a small town in Oklahoma, has lived in big cities, dated a young man for four years, met an amazing cowboy, fell in love, got married, had children, and has numerous achievements.

Marlboro is currently one of biggest cigarette distributer in the world. Originally, Marlboro was targeted towards women with the slogan “Mild As May” Campaign until Philip Morris repositioned Marlboro at 1950, with the objective of attracting a wide target audience of American men to save their failing brand. The company began to advertise towards men because they wanted to increase customer while hoping to increase their profits. Therefore, in order to attract their targeted audience, Leo Burnett
targets of the tobacco companies. The cigarette manufacturers will deny it, but advertising and promotion play a very important part in making these statistics a reality. The two main companies in this advertising war are Marlboro and Camel. Marlboro uses a western cowboy called the Marlboro Man, while Camel uses Joe Camel, a hip cartoon character. Everywhere you go there is billboards or some other kind of advertisement on these two shady characters. When I say shady, I imply that these characters are

The first Italian visits to Canada began within the 14th century under the French regime and Newfoundland under England’s purpose to explore and claim lands and missionary work for Italians. Particularly in Montreal, Italian migration can be traced since the late 1800s although there were already few hundred Italian artists and tradesmen before then. The first wave of Italian migrants to this city began in the late 1900’s until after the first World War. Most of them came from Southern Italian
The Victoria Bridge, constructed in the mid-19th-Century in British North America, is a famous Canadian landmark that set the stage for the beginning of the industrialization phase of Canada and more specifically, Montreal. It would eventually “play a vital role in the growth of the city and the country”. The overall location of Montreal would lead to large transportation problems for the city. More specifically, the fact that Montreal was an island made it difficult during the fall, spring,
“Between 1880 and 1920 more than 4.1 million Italians were recorded as entering the United States” (Daniels, p. 188). The Italian immigrants of post-1880 were different from other immigrant groups by these topics of religion, labor, family orientation, politics, and education. The 1880s brought a change not only in the amount of Italian immigrants but also the characteristic of them as a group. This group of immigrants was incredibly male dominated, in comparison to the other immigrants of this
The website that I choose to write about is fairus.org which stands for Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The reason that I choose to pick this website is because I have worked with them before. At my current field placement I work with refugees and sometime people from organization such as fair call to verify documents we have for people.

Crime, murder, filth, and tension. These are all aspects and feelings that play into the photograph that creates Bandit’s Roost, figure 1. This photograph was taken by the infamous Jacob Riis in 1888 for his studies, How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York. While this photo rests within a compressed, dirty alley on the lower East Side of New York City, the alley itself is set within “the Bend”, the slum of Mulberry Street. Mulberry Street is historically known as the center

Gasoline I wake up to my phone ringing non-stop, and my roommate, Max yelling “Wake up!” Although Max has a mild form of dementia, he usually sets a reminder to wake me up just to make sure I got to New Jersey in time. “Coming!” I yell. As I quickly grab my bags, I rush downstairs and prepare to leave. “Ryan, where are you going again?” Max says. “I’m going to New Jersey for a temporary job as an accountant.” “Why didn’t you tell me?” Max says, clearly getting angry. “I was packing yesterday and
Anticipation, heartache, and mystery are only a few of the abundant emotions immigrants feel about their journey to the United States. Notably, in Shaun Tan’s graphic novel, The Arrival, the main character experiences the same series of emotions on his immigration journey seeking safe haven. In fact, through the three-week introduction to a new adventure and literature, I was able to tune into the feelings and genuinely understand the dismal journey of the immigrant archetype. Furthermore, this new-found
