After taking this class, I view the first amendment in a different way. At first I was a bit ignorant as to how much we can use the first amendment as one of our rights. Now that I am more aware of this right, I have become more careful as to what I post or say on the internet. I now know that we are protected from the government for our first amendment but not corporate companies.
here's is a video clip about a young man who got fired because he mentioned about the company and job he works at in a video:
I view the media as another tool for our society to be kept under somewhat a hegemonic control. From this class I intake different perceptions of what the messages the media put out for people. It's made me realize some of the effects the media has on my own personal lifestyle.

Media Ethics/Media Law
Free Bird
in this article, a man is pulled over several times by the police. The reason: not because he violated the law, but because he had discretely pulled out his middle finger at them. In about any lawsuits dealing with the flipping of the bird to an officer, it is usually dismissed in court.
Apparently, flipping the bird is protected by the first amendment as a form of freedom of expression.
In a sense, the act of pulling the middle finger to anyone can bring up dissatisfaction, even to the police. I think the protection of the first amendment brings up a lot of contradictions morally and ethically. The free bird can not get you in jail or receive some sort of punishment but it does bring out a bad ambiance.

Propaganda Techniques
one of my favorite commercials ever is for DHL delivery service. The advertisement is directed and made in Korea.
one of the propaganda techniques that this advertisement uses is the
slogan technique. At the end of the video, the DHL slogan is "we deliver. whatever" it appeals to the audience because the slogan phrases that they can deliver any kind of item or in this case, a kiss. The commercial uses a comedic approach which gives a light heart sentimental feeling to the phrase.
Another technique this advertisement uses is the half-truth. The commercial states that they are able to deliver anything, but in fact it is common sense that kisses or affection can not be delivered by delivery service men.
