"Berlin Walls"by Brian Ladd

It is difficult to fathom the psyche of the human mind, that it can be so influenced by people with no consciences. The essay "Berlin Walls" by Brian Ladd gives insight to the people of Germany and their contrasting thoughts on the existence of the "Wall" that separated Berlin from the rest of Europe. Hitler 's immoral influences on the citizens whom should have been able to rise above the hierarchy that the regime imposed on the country of Germany. It resembles the working of a wave within the crowd at a sports stadium, once it gets started and momentum, everyone else follows the motion and the spectaters enact a wave that circles the whole stadium. The "Wall" created a lot of anxiety for the people that had to live within its proximity. The "Wall" depicted the fascist regime that ignited the World Wars, I & II. How could this "Wall" be erected and put into the world as a reminder that fascism still exist. Most of the world's population is thankful that this monster of concrete did come to it end. In a world of ideologies contrasting with other ideologies the need to respect each others rights is foremost in the future of civilization.

Alice Walker, "Everyday Use"

The cultural emphasis within this essay gives insight into a family and how they interact & develop into their own selves. Alice Walker's , " Everyday Use"gives the reader enough background to understand a few of the cultural aspects of this mothers heritage. The insight given into the two very different children, one having been scarred from a house fire still living at home & the other who has left the nest on a search for the "good life." Her descriptions of the surroundings, what each person looks like, expressions on faces as the story evolves really give the reader some weighty knowledge & stirs interest that any reader enjoys. The way she describes the two houses, one that burnt & the one the mother & "Maggie" live in. (697) The essay tells of "Dee" leaving the nest & pursuing a better life. Alice Walker writes, "Why don't you do a dance around the ashes? I'd wanted to ask her. She had hated the house that much."... "Dee wanted nice things."..... "I used to think she hated Maggie, too. But that was before we raised the money, the church and me,to send her to Augusta to school."(699) Then "Dee" comes home to visit. She has intentions of not only visiting but asking for items of the cultural heritage that she was brought up with. The essay reiterates that culture is imprinted on ourselves. The community in which people live reflects what contributions they have to share.

"Cultural Imperialism"& "The World of Coca Cola"

This commercial presents to me a group of people that are very culturally different & collectively put together to promote a product, Coca-Cola. It almost looks utopian. The singing creates a common bond among them, but they are all staring straight ahead & not interacting with each other. I'm not sure of how Dean Barnlund would evaluate the Coca-Cola commercial. I'm still trying to sort out all the ideas he wrote in his essay. I just saw the reference to the "Denny Doodlebug Problem." (56) Now that is interesting. While the camera scans the group you are given a diverse looking group of people. A neighbor each has the capability to be, but the commercial does not immulate that. It is just trying to sell Coca-Cola. The just of all the group is to show that the product does span large amounts of the worlds' population.

"Our Purpose"

Reading the " Our Purpose" statement in the "Global Village News" is essential to inform it's readers of the content it presents. It is somewhat a mission statement. The "Our Purpose" states, "The conventional media focuses almost entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction.While this represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience..." The statement proposes a different way of expressing news with more of a constructive emphasis, and "cross culturally". If only more of the media sources would commit to this type of format, we might see a tide of more constructive journalism.

The World of Coca-Cola, in Atlanta GA

From reading the article by Ted Friedman I would like to go to Atlanta & experience "The World of Coca-Cola" for myself. The description in the article presents a lot of interesting aspects of the Coca-Cola industry through the 105 years of production. It sounds like a very big place, and elaborately displayed. It has a lounge, gift shop like all other amusement attractions have. "The Coca-Cola Company view the World of Coca-Cola not as a source of income, but as a $15 million public relations investment."(Mooney and Goodman,1991) There are several exhibits illustrating the path to the Coca-Cola product that is produced today. An entrance fee of only $2.50 per adult is quite reasonable.

Dean Barnlund,"Communications in a Global Village"

Dean Barnlund writes,"Within no longer than a decade or two the probability of spending part of one's life in a foreign culture will exceed the probability a hundred years ago of ever leaving the town in which one was born."(47) Making note that Barnlund wrote this several years ago, the copyright referenced is 1975. Foreign cultures are very present in our daily lives. Through the internet, television,radio. The United States is referred to as the melting pot of the world. It has been from the beginning a place for immigrants to settle and live their lives. Many large cities are made up of bergs that house separate ethnic groups. Knowing just one language is not the norm as society becomes more integrated with other cultures. The experiences at the market place while shopping and hearing other shoppers speaking a foreign language are ever more present. These occurences are becoming more commonplace. Is the world becoming a smaller place or just more expansive in the cultural communicating experiences that can be encountered within you own neighborhood & city. Tourist always have had the cultural encounters, but with the transportation industry being able to transport people very quickly & in larger numbers the probability of a non tourist is ever so present of meeting a person or persons of a different culture. As we live our lives the experiences with different cultures we gain will enhance our feeling of a "global village."(48)

Paper 1, Introduction

Thesis statement: Why is "cultural reinforcement",(619), so important in the context of advertising a product, in contrast to the premise of a commercial just being imaginative entertainment?

Paragraph 1: Scholes mentions, " Either way they serve us with the greatest single virtue of art, change from the normal, a defense against the ever-present threat of boredom."(619)

Paragraph 2: Scholes points out, "It is the myth of America itself, of the racial melting pot, of justice done without fear or favor."

Paragraph 3: Scholes believes: "These derangement's of normal visual processing can be seen as either constraints or extensions of visual power-that is, as power over the viewer or as extensions of the viewer's own optical power, or both."(691)


Scholes,Robert (2000). "On Reading A Video Text". Literacy's. 2nd Ed. Terence Brunk et al. New York: Norton, 2000.(619)

Robert Scholes,"On Reading A Video Text"

Scholes states, " The moments of surrender proposed to us by video texts come in many forms, but all involve a complex dymanic of power and pleasure. We are, for instance, offered a kind of power through the enhancement of our vision. Close-ups position us where we could never stand. Slow motion allows us an extraordinary penetration into the mechanics of movement, and , combined with music, lends a balletic grace to ordinary forms of locomotion." (619)
In the "Arby's Monkeys" commercial there are many aspects of Scholes statement involved. The close-up of the man & woman's faces give you a sence of power. The fast motion of the picture frames give a sense of pleasure, so much that you have a desire to watch it several times to drink in the whole commercial. Like Scholes commercial that he commented on, the power is in the thought of a product that is pleasing & satisfing to the persons interest. The motion, whether slow or not, has a fluent effect on the viewers mind;and, added with the music in the background maintains your interest in the visual aspect. Commercials are a very competitive business, so the dynamics of the visual are refined, & refined till the maker of the commercial is sure the products' sales will increase. This is the whole essense of the commercial, increased sales of that product. The majority of commercials aren't created to make you feel weak & insufficient. The power of "fitting in" is there for you to view, & if using the product can give you extreme satisfaction like the commercial implies . Your visual experience will be even more rewarded.

Arby's Monkeys*

This commercial advertises how a product can be overwhelmingly persuasive. It opens with two people , one male & one female. They are presumably scientists, because they have white lab coats on and are seated viewing the activities of chimps through a viewing booth. The chimps are in a small room with two tables. Of the five chimps in the room, three chimps are seated at tables. One table has a boom box on it. The boom box is on, & a classical music piece is playing. Suddenly one of the chimps changes the radio station on the boom box in the room. The chimps assemble into a dance line facing the viewing window & dance to a tune that is ethnic in nature . A rustic dance native to another country, not the United States. The scientists show astonishment by their words & jesters. The astonishment in reality is the persuasiveness of the Arby's sandwiches. When the camera pans out, they are shown looking down at their Arby's sandwiches in front of them & both of them have an Arby's hat over their heads. They are oblivious to the unusual activity the chimps have done.

Ponder the Thought

Well if reading is your pasttime & main source of daily experience. Personally this person gave me the indication that he is a reader to the extreme. Dialect is not a word I use in my every day thinking. If only I was as well read as this person. I can only suppose that he is presenting a point that can be expressed as the truth.
