I would like to share with you guys some blogs, that to my mind are extremely interesting.
The first one is by Nika: http://guerillaandbuzzmarketing.blogspot.com/ she writes about guerrilla marketing and it's effects on society. There were many things I learned from reading her blog and I found it extremely interesting how much there is, that I didn't actually know yet, as for example Ikea's promotion on facebook. SHOCKING :)
Secondly Karo's blog: http://theproductplacementblog.blogspot.com/ was such a pleasure reading, as I could really notice how much she is interested in the topic of product placement in the media. She gives great examples of how it works today and the issues she discusses are extremely interesting as well. I especially liked her post about the cigarette production placement in the series "sex and the city", as it is a controversial topic in the media.
Also, Jules blog: http://bollywoodtakesoverhollywood.blogspot.com/ about Hollywood and Bollywood brings great joy to me when I read it, as there are so many facts that I never even realized before. Myself, I am not a big fan of Bollywood, but lately I hear more and more about it, there is hardly any escape. Reading her blog was not only informational, but also fun, as she has such a great style of sharing her passion. Maybe I will actually begin to like Bollywood production after all, as she inspired me quite a bit with her great examples.
Mark's blog: http://newmediaandstudents.blogspot.com/ is also something I definitely want to share with you. He discusses what impacts the new media has on students and I found it truly shocking how for example facebook changed so many aspects today. It is a good question whether internet dumbs us down or educates us, but merely I think it all depends on each individual. Great topic Mark :)
Last but not least Tisha's blog: http://mediainfluenceon2012.blogspot.com/ to me was very amusing. She wrote about the influences media has on the apocalypse in 2012 and how the media deals with this believe. To my mind this is a very interesting topic, as we are soon to enter the year 2012 and I would never think that just because the Mayan's believed the world would end the, it will really happen. See for yourself and make up your mind, whether the world is coming to an end or not.
What is art today? Throughout history, art has changed tremendously. In this blog I will go through the changes of art and what purpose it had and still has to society. Some call it nuisance, others talent and others really don't care. But art has a major impact on society and can change, provoke and even hurt peoples feelings.
Art is beautiful

WHY ART MATTERS!
With time, and historical events, art changes all the time and in today's society art could be considered nearly everything. Influences such as the camera, which was invented by Nicéphore Niépce in 1825, created new styles and changed the meaning of a painting. Before the camera, paintings would "capture reality in detail" and represent status. Certain objects in paintings would represent important meanings and the more detailed the painting, the more impressive it was. But once the camera was invented, it was no longer necessary to paint in detail and many artists began to paint abstract and focused on other things as colors, composition and personal style.
The problem with art is, everyone can interpret it differently. To my mind art has a major influence on society and can express opinions/world views much more than one realizes.
In today's news, one can use art, as for instance cartoons to express political views and comment on current events. For example, the most discussed cartoons in the press are probably the 12 cartoons of Muhammad, published in several European newspapers, as for instance the danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten on September the 30th 2005. Muhammad, the Muslim Prophet, was shown in many different humorous situations and many Muslims felt it was too much of a deliberate offensive joke that should not be taken in a humorous way. Cartoonists were asked to express their opinions about the Islam and it was not intended to provoke anyone directly, but some Islamic radicals took them to the Middle East and that's when the violent reactions began. Danish Embassies were burned only because of the cartoons published in the newspapers. This is when I began to wonder how art can have such an intense influence in the world. Cartoons, which is considered as art can provoke and unnecessarily cause problems in society when at the same time it is something so beautiful.
