Completely agree that "Fight the Power" almost ties the knot with the main theme of this film which was social injustice. Th film definitely amplifies the tensions that till this day, we haven't been able to get over.

I agree with the idea that the film made you feel uncomfortable. I also think it was giving you different perspectives so you can find the one you resonate with the most and see if you are "doing the right thing" by thinking that way. The directorial work influenced a lot in this.

After watching the film, "Do the Right Thing" by Spike Lee I felt confused as the last scenes after Radio Raheem's death, from my perspective showed how the next day it was like nothing happened. I do feel like the audio elements influenced my feelings throughout the film. #Media180LabWednesday1130W

Agreed, and I think it also be famous person testimonial. Previous to the collaboration she would always post herself drinking Dunkin Donuts. Since she would always consume this products, she is testifying that its good and everyone should have some.

Totally agree with the type of ad and with the fact that it was kind of off. Like another classmate commented, it was quite cynical that they portrayed a real issue being solved with their product. It puts a real problem to the side just to promote their product.

In this Corona Extra beer commercial made in 2021, we see stars like Snoop Dog, Zoe Saldaña, and Bad Bunny. This advertisement is using the famous-person testimonial, which we discussed in lecture. The artists are seen with a beer in hand living "the fine life."

Although, it's "just" a meme, it's pretty accurate to the media situation we are currently. With election coming up, more than ever it is important to put Media Literacy skills to use and make sure we are digesting true information rather than fake news that is all over media.

This meme does shed light on a more recent media studies theme with AI. With this novelty there are still blurred lines about what is ethically correct when using AI to create media. The record labels vs AI music generators is a great example of this arising conflict.

In the past, radio stations played songs covered by white artists so they wouldn’t have to listen to the people of color. It was an acceptable practice then, enforcing racist ideals. #Media180LabWednesday1130W
