sim happy # 12

in this post we have to talk about the sim character chuck klosterman creates and explain what type of happiness he has synthetic or natural. Now remember synthetic happiness is when you get when you don't get what you want. Natural happiness is what you get when you get what you've wanted. I    I would say that chuck is giving sim chuck synthetic happiness by buying him all the stuff that real chuck thinks he wants and that will make him happy and it doesn't. From the reading he does this all the way up to the end where he talks about pushing the free will button and sim chuck does what ever he wants eats takes a shower and sleeps for 14 hours straight in his sleep machine. When real chuck pushed that button he was then giving sim chuck natural happiness by not being his god or the one calling the shots.

Post #11 item of GEN. X

Im going to talk about reality tv and its affects it has on the millennial generation. Media plays a big role on my generation. If you think about tv shows and how they are classified or how they are broken down. They represent certain groups of people that are just like the show (i.e. the characters and the way they act). People of this generation are represented by tv shows like teen mom, real world. People of my generation grew up with reality tv at its highest if you think about American Idol it started when I was about 7 and is still being watched today. Reality tv isn't just about all the stupid drama or underage kids having babies. Its a way for people to watch and observe or experience something that they will probably never get to in there life and I think that this plays a big roll in the millennial's generation

Post #10 reality tv show farmers and blondes

I would make a tv show where u take a bunch of hillbilly rednecks and a group of ditzy blonde girls and put them together in a house for a month as roommates. I don't think that I would have to try to create drama I think that as soon as they are put together there will be tension and fights rght off the get go. If you think about the personalities farmers are more laid back when it comes to how clean things can be or when it comes back to putting things back where they came from. If you think of a ditzy blonde they ask a lot stupid questions, and do NOT!!! like getting dirty or and or clean freaks. I think that this kind of show would be kinda both a comedy and a drama all at the same time.

Masculinity #9

Masculinity is all around for young boys growing up you are pressured into doing sports and or things that are considered to be manly. One thing that is a big thing would be sports if boys don't want to play a sport that is manly or any sport for that matter they are considered to be unmanly and are subjected to name calling. Another way masculinity plays a big toll in todays culture is if you think back a couple post we had to pick two slides that dehumanized women and made men look like the dominant sex. Being considered manly is all around us even in the work force if you don't do anything that you have to work with your hands your doing a girls job lol. Another thing that young boys or teens see as a way to make your self manly is to join the military they think that just by joining that you can become a man over night lol. I can tell you first hand being in the military that there are a lot of boys that do this.
