Tell me about the power of advertising as you see it.  What types of ads appeal to you?  Or disgust you?  What kind of ads seem pointless or senseless to you?

 

The types of ads that appeal to me are the types of ads that make me feel happy. The ads that have families and everyone are enjoying life. I also like the ads that are just funny and make me smile those are the ads that I think everyone likes. The ads that disgust me are those that are well disgusting. There are ads that are just dumb and then there are ads that just cross the line and I think everyone feels the same way about those kinds of ads. Not only do I think those kinds of ads are disgusting, but I also find that they are pointless. I find that most ads and commercials are being viewed by children and young teenagers so I think that the ads should tone it down and keep in mind the audience that will be viewing their ad and make it appropriate. That is what I find completely and totally pointless. The idea that sex sells is something I find pointless. This is why I think it is most important to show kids the funny ads rather than the ads that are inappropriate. Show them that they don’t have to look like the girls in the ads or make them think that some of the things they show in commercials are the norm.                                 

 

Yes I am a Facebook user. I have a Facebook mostly to keep up with all my friends from high school. I do think that most people are becoming too addicted to Facebook and this type of thing. I have almost 400 friends and I know that that’s a lot but through choirs and camps that I have been too I have met a lot of people and have been friends with most of these people at one point in time.  I am very cautious about what I put on my page. I know that there are going to be people that I do not want knowing all of my business looking at my page so why would I put it on my page. I feel that it is perfectly ok for future employers to look at my page. I if am stupid enough to put something that I do not want them to see on my page then why shouldn’t they see it. There are always dangers and risks associated with being on the internet. I think one of the major risks from Facebook would be having friends that you do not know. That is very dangerous to me. I also think it is very smart for businesses and television stations to join the Facebook bandwagon. It has become such a sensation that I believe they would be dumb not to join. It is a great way for them to reach new viewers or fans.

What is my major and why did I choose it? What qualities, strengths, or skills do you naturally possess that make you suited to this type of employment?  Once you graduate, do you intend to stay in the Dayton area or leave the city? State? Country?  And what is the ideal employment situation for you? 

 

The major that I chose is elementary education. I picked this as my major because I really enjoy kids and the fact that I know what kids can do if you believe in them. I truly believe that this is the career for me because it is what I have wanted my entire life. I am very good with kids and I teach a junior church class at my church and the class has grown since I started and I hope it is because the kids are having fun and inviting their friends to church.  All my family and my friends say that I would make a great teacher because I have the qualities of a teacher. I am kind and work well with kids. Once I graduate I do wish to stay in the Dayton area preferably close to home; I am very close with all my family. The ideal situation for me would be to get a job in the area surrounding the town I grew up in. As I said before I am very close to my family so I would not be able to move far away from where I grew up.
