I have always been the kind of person who is interested in advertising, especially those companies that make creative marketing. Personally, the image and words have more impact than we thought. We know how to lay them out to the audience; if the product is powerful enough, it can even change and set a new price for an inferior product. The perfect example of this would be the campaign to advertise diamonds by De Beers company's marketing campaign in the mid-20th century, famously promoting the idea that "A Diamond is Forever." this movement perfectly transformed the perception of diamonds into something symbolizing the symptom of love, increasing their value in the marketing significantly.

What fascinated me the most was seeing how the media has such an effect on human life through history in every aspect of life. Moreover, through media, I really want to get a chance to learn more about the power of marketing and analyze more about the production of a big company and how they can create impactful and meaningful based on the culture and value as well as the target audience they want to see

During the early days of Canada's development, it is not an understatement to say the railways and radio systems played an essential role in helping build the Canadian identity that we see today. Regarding the railway system back in the 19th century, John A. MacDonald made an ambitious decision to create an independent rail, starting the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and reaching into the southern United States, making it the most extended railway system in North America. This train line plays a crucial role in shaping the "Canadian identity" we have nowadays by pushing economic growth, knitting together a vast and geographically diverse nation, and no longer relying on America.

The phenomena system of this train line did an incredible job facilitating trade and commerce and boosting economic growth. However, the regional barrier still needs to be broken down. There was still a distance sharing between people in Canada. For that problem, the radio system plays a crucial role in creating the same identity for people in Canada by simultaneously communicating national concerns to everyone. The radio system helps listeners imagine themselves as a part of the community and see themselves as having many things in common with others living in the same land as Canada.

Every creative advertisement can have its method of communicating with its audience, and there are many meanings that we can convert from them. The print advertisement below from a sun cream company is the perfect example. The first thing we can understand from it is the literal meaning by looking at the ad when you look at it at first glance. The setting is at a beach, and people are doing their activities, like hanging out behind this massive tank of cream tubes, blocking the sun from coming directly at them. At the same time, it creates shading for people to do their thing.

The second means we can take by analyzing this advertisement is the considerable sun cream tube is used as a metaphor for another interpretation of the efficiency of suntan lotion, especially when it comes to how much it can protect you from the sun from the way the huge tube covers all the people in it. The creator is trying to represent how good it works for the people, especially when they go to the beach, which requires a lot of sun cream.

Thought and perspective at every moment play a crucial role in our life decisions, which proves why Cultivation Theory is the most accurate to my values. Our viewpoint of how the world is depends a lot on what kind of media we consume, not only on TV broadcasting but also on other social media like social media, YouTube videos, etc. For example, if you spent a lot of time watching a lot of criminal documentaries, you would start to form an idea about how this world is a dangerous place and full of awful people who were trying to rob or physically hurt you.

Social media has a vital role in attracting our attention to certain problems, which results in us starting to rely on it unconsciously and think it is a value everyone should care about and sometimes it is not the media affecting them but the after-effects of this media they consume. When we do something, we concentrate on it for a long time so even after we are finished, our minds cannot help but still think about what kind of thing we just did or watched. Additionally, if the media is something the audience can believe in, this viewpoint would start to form as their value or their world’s perspective.

For the media to be successful as it is now nowadays media policy plays a huge role due to its content regulation .

Deciding what kind of content can be shown significantly limits the content that is violent and hate speech and accuracy in reporting . At the same time dictated what type of show or program should appred on channel push uncousiouly idea to people what kind of problem or content is essential. Moreover, media policy creates regulations to prevent monopolies and ensure fair competition in the media market. When there is a healthy amount of competition in the media market, this helps producers be motivated between content and better programs for the audience .

The purpose of media law definitely plays a vital role in Canada preserving cultural identity . This country is a multicultural nation, so the media policy is essential when it come protect it own color and created the distinctive differences with other media from other country particular form United State .

I spend a lot of time on two leading social media platforms which are youtube and tik tok so the most new about the world I know is from two of them. For youtube, most news is posted by Tv broadcasting company channels that have been publishing news to citizens for a long time so it is pretty reliable compared to other platforms like Tik Tok. This quick video platform has a very clever and fast way to inform of people about what is going around the world but because there are primarily individual who try to promote their own content so the new can very biased and there were not much new company that are active on tik tok so sometimes the information can come out very subjective.

It is an undeniable fact nowadays that technology has become one part of our lives that we can't live without. Needless to say, as long as you own a tech device like a phone or laptop, it is not an understatement to say that you are being monitored every second; it is something I expected when living in this modern society. Just when you think you can drop out and choose to live a no-tech device life, you are still being watched every second by the government through every place that you step into by camera or hidden surveillance.

As a result, we live in a panoptic society where people feel like they are being watched and observed every second of the day. Moreover, not only technology devices are following us, but social media platforms nowadays even make a profit by taking the data of the user like their age, sex, interests,..etc., something that is considered private, and use that information to even make predictions of their behavior in the future. So, while the panoptic society might not be all right, the concepts it explores—such as pervasive surveillance and the potential impacts on behavior and freedom are something we should question.

The most exciting thing I have learned through this course is that the foundation of Canadian identity relies significantly on the power of railways and media like radio. It is fascinating how such small media advice can make people from multi-circle in Canada more tight-knit, building a prolonged, everlasting place for Canadians to see themselves. Moreover, the way social media works nowadays is very familiar regarding connection. For example, many TikTokkers post short videos about everyday situations that people can relate to. The more comments or the more views they had on that video that proved a point, the more people find it funny and relatable, and people would gather to comment on that post, this creates an effect where this video builds a sense of community and connection that they are not the only one.

Throughout the course, I find hypodermic models interesting for me. Even though I don't see the audience as passive, it does make me question its context. If you lived in a specific time where the only sources of media, TV, and connection with other individuals are not possible choices, does this mean that this audience would rely on this media called TV? Nowadays, people have a chance to be critical about whether to believe or not certain events happen, so having enough knowledge and access to many forms of media will lower the opportunity for people to be naive and passive with the information they consume.

This communication course has changed my mind, especially when I look closely at what is happening in this industry. More brain and work has been put on an advertisement than we think. Lastly, having a closer look inside this industry gives a more subjective viewpoint about how media companies profit, as well as looking at the world outside through the eye of the media's production.
