Facebook Advertising!!

My immediate thought was to boost a post.  The post in particular was the video posted of my brother giving relationship advice. Mind you the guy still thinks girls are gross and have cooties.  The video posted nonetheless was pure gold!


This post reached the most people and received the most views. 



The demographics for this page are very vast.  The people who respond to the posts by liking it and commenting on it are often people who have met Kellen at least once.  He isn't one to easily forget.





The reason this video is such a hit is because it's just that, A VIDEO!! It's validation of what I have grown up enjoying.  I have wanted to post more videos like this, or have others post videos of Kellen if they have any.  It's difficult to attain such epic videos due to the fact that his uncanny comments are random and at the most perfect timing.  Which makes it difficult to actually film them.  I have often thought of purchasing a GOPRO just to mount on my head and have it fully rolling and filming at all times in order to capture these very moments that I share so much with everyone.  It's just not as funny unless you are witnessing in person.  HENCE why I have been trying to get video.  Kellen also has complete access to this page and can go and post things himself that he feels he'd like to share with everyone.  Having his approval was my number ONE priority. As well as making sure he had say in what was posted.  That being said I'm off to look at GoPro's online! Stay tuned......

Contextual Analysis

 
Women should have never left the kitchen!!!

For my contextual analysis I am addressing the negative side of having women in the work force and why the gender wage gap is nothing more then propaganda. In order to be a critical thinker we must analyze both sides of the argument. With major factors like housing, vehicles, and basic standards of living having DOUBLED since just a generation ago, it's wise to note that this is largely due to dual income households. Women started working and contributing to the household income.  World Wars forced women into the workplace and once they had a taste, there was not turning back.  With double the money coming in, they were able to spend more, so therefore prices increase!  As opposed to a single income household a generation ago was easily sustained with just one individual in the workplace. Dinners were ready on time, children were being taken care of by their mother instead of an alternative caregiver. Life was simpler when Marsha broke her nose, Beaver got into trouble, and maybe Lucy shouldn't have tried to work in a candy factory.

Climate Change and Use of Social Media

When discussing this in class it seemed that the idea of Global Warming  like the word Feminism has a negative connotation for many people.  So let's do away with *GLOBAL WARNING* (said in the loud car dealership announcer voice) and replace it with Climate Control.  The phrase indicates a notion of individuality towards the situation.  Control. As human beings merely occupying the planet, we have the CONTROL! We have the ability, power, right, and responsibility to maintain this ever giving planet we live on.

 All throughout the world there are rallies against oil drilling,  stands against annihilation of natural forests, protests encouraging recycling of renewable resources, pushes for natural fuel alternatives, lock-ins for the wildlife preservation, and movements for public transit usage to reduce pollution.  In countless of cities, from coast to coast, sea to ever shining sea, WE RALLY!!

But... HOW? How are we so divided on the same common goal??  With the ability to instantly connect and talk to someone in a completely different time zone than ourselves, how are we so apart? We should partake of this opportunity that we obviously take for granted.  Think of the effects we have when our nations are in a security crisis.  With the hashtag craze that ensued when newspaper offices were bombed in France, the same can be done for climate control.  We can create a rally that is scheduled to happen on every continent by joining efforts together via social media.   With one rally and with everyone using their social media to capture the event as it's happening can spread from that one event to others at the same even in a different country.

#TheSolutionIsNoPollution


We could go all day harnessing our inner Dr. Seuss's for catchy rhymes.  The answer is USE SOCIAL MEDIA.  We have this resource, we have the passion, and we have the passion!! Together we can make a global change to preserve our planet and our footprint.  We have a chance, with advances in technology we create problems, but we also have the solution.
