In chapter 10 of A.O.S.D, the author was trying to say that kids and teenager learning from television is not true, but that television teaches them that learning is entertainment or need to be fun and if a teacher like postman states, “And they will not rebel if their English teacher asks them to learn the eight parts of speech through the medium of rock music” (pg 154). This explains if they learn something through something fun they will not have a problem learning. I believe it true that if it's fun teens and kids will be more compilable because it's entertainment. I relate this it a tweet I saw about School of Rock and that in the gif they all look very interested in the topic because the teacher is being really funny and so they are learning through entertainment na being respectful.

In chapter 6 of amusing ourselves to death, Postman defines the changes in America’s communication culture. On page 92, Postman declares, “Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. They do not exchange ideas; they exchange images”. This quote can be related comparatively to black mirror, a show about the isolation of the future. Americans today no longer hold many conversations face to face, but through the medium of technology and media. This interaction leads to isolation because Americans are meant to be with on another without a device separating them. We feel the need to entertain, not just to be true to ourselves.

Through Chapter 6 of the book Amusing Ourselves to Death, the author talks about the American culture and how communication has changed for everyone. The change in communication affects the relationship we have with people. In addition, he discusses the distraction that television has on people and on the public. For example, Postman states, " the problem is not he television presents us with entertaining subject matter, but the subject matter that is presented as entertainment" (Postman 87). What Postman conveys is that what we watch on TV for our own amusement may not be necessary. Moreover, this made me think about certain headlines of fake news that we entertain ourselves with. For example, the headline "Hilary Clinton adopts an Alien Baby" is subject matter that is entertaining and completely false. The headline grabs are attention. Even though this is a newspaper headline, it is not uncommon that this can appear on TV.

In chapter 6 of Amusing Ourselves to Death, Postman describes how communication has changed and how it is bad for relationships. We feel like we always need to be connected to social media and get entertainment from that instead of other people. We are constantly looking at screens and not paying much attention to the people around us. This can also destroy self confidence and relationships. It is all about getting the most likes and followers and if you don't have very many than that can put an image in your mind of not being good enough. Also if you are also on your phone instead of being interactive with people than that can show the other person that they aren't worth your time and it just ruins the relationship.

Chapter 6 of Amusing Ourselves to Death explains how the culture of America and communication has drastically changed. Looking at it from then to now, communication has changed immensly and  Postman argues that  "Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. They do not exchange ideas; they exchange images (92)”. Technology is everywhere and it’s inevitable, for example social media has consumed our lifes. People everywhere are obbsessed with how they look to others, the amount of likes they get on a photo is crucial and Postman argues that technology has destroyed our communication with others.

In chapter 6 of Amusing Ourselves to Death, Postman discusses how the culture of American communication has changed. Postman suggests "Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. They do not exchange ideas; they exchange images" (92). With technology now a days, it is all about entertainment. A perfect example is with social media. In our culture now, there is a necessity to have a lot of followers. We feel the need to entertain people and to put things out there that will make us feel amusing. It is now longer about the content.

In Chapter 6 of Amusing Ourselves to Death, they clearly identified that electronics play a negative role in relationships. They take away what we can get from each other. We constantly are always staring at TV screens, computer screens, and most of all our phone screens. Although at times we may be with others while we are on our phones or other electronic devices, it doesn't mean we are building the relationship you have with that person or people, you are only taking away from it because no one is learning anything from the other or taking away anything on which to build a relationship.

In chapter 6 of Amusing ourselves to death, I was able to establish a connection with the text because I noticed how much the chapter was talking about how entertainment has become such a big part of our lives because we feel the need to be entertained instead of entertaining people becaus we as a society have somehow become lazy in not providing entertainment for our guests whenever we have people over. Or we stare at or phones and just sit in each other’s warm company. But this doesn’t do anything for a relationship. This only hurts it instead of building upon it

In chapter 6, postman talks about television's role as a medium in public discourse. One thing he said really stood out to me. He said, "The problem is not that television presents us with entertaining subject matter but that all subject matter is presented as entertaing..." (Postman 87). This stood out to me because once I read this I realized I can see this everywhere. And not just one T.V. but YouTube and social media as well. A classic example of this, I think, would be the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge. I know this wasn't exactly protraid as entertaining, but really any "trend" has the same cause and effect. When actors do things, no matter how dumb, they are seen as "cool" or "hip." When these kids saw this lip challenge, they didn't think about how dump it was or the consequences that may arise. They did it because it was on trend, and in that way they were not being entertained by the challenge but rather believing the challenge was entertaining.

In chapter 7 of A.O.T.D, Postman uses the metaphor “Now...This” to “the news of the day” to explain how our televisions and how these news companies have been describing our daily news in one whole, with using entertainment and explaining to us what's coming up next and forcing people not to collaborate on it, but to quickly move on to the next topic and they don’t totally give us the full information on the topic and it can be misleading but we don’t even think about because they move on so quickly and as a society we get used to it. Postman writes, “It has not yet been demonstrated whether a culture can survive if it takes the measure of the world in twenty-two minutes. Or if the value… by the number of laughs it gives” (pg 113). This statements reflects how if the news makes us laugh it's good enough and then we can move on to the next topic and don't get to talk about. This relates to the real world for me because I watch 9 News every evening with my family and I can now see what Postman is talking about because they never give us a chance to talk about that part of the news instead they move on very quicking, so we don’t have time to talk about it.
