NORMA’S POST:

Hello class,

I chose a television commercial advertising Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate. The commercial features an Asian man entering a bus and taking a seat. The man is dressed in black clothes adorned with metal studs.

The people on the bus seem wary of the man and react by pulling their belongings closer with a frightened look. On the bus is a crying child seated with his mother. The child spots the man, and their interaction stops the boy from crying and brings a smile to his face. Then we hear Cadbury’s tagline,

“Goodness that melts your heart.” The clear message is: Don’t judge a book by its cover.

The stereotype here is that the man is probably in a biker gang and may be dangerous. The clothes that he’s wearing are typical of what members of biker gangs usually wear. The generalizations made here are that only biker gangs wear black clothing adorned with silver studs which is not true.

CHARLES’S POST:

The stereotype that I can see, is that strength and power overcome anything. Masculine over humility. The media clip I choose portrays Darth Vader. It reflects that the dark side is strong, unbeatable, and powerful. How did it influence the social situation in the clip? Well, it made Luke Skywalker fight back. That you have to fight back and have no fear.

BRENDA’S POST:

Hello Professor and Classmates,

My name is Brenda and I live in Upstate NY, I am married with two children, our son that is sixteen and our duaghter that turns 13 this month. I come from an average family with two older siblings a brother and sister.

My story begins while I was in high school it was my senior year. On May 17, 1993 my father suffered a cardiac arrest. The EMT’s and hospital staff worked on him for two hours and ten minutes. They revived him. Like I said being my senior year I was getting ready for college, my parents and I had been on many tours and finally decided on “The One” I was very excited to be headed off on a new journey. However, God had different plans for me than going to college.

It just so happened that all the services that my father was receiveing at home were about to end, his physical, speech and occupational therapies. So I made the decision to saty home and take over my fathers care.

This started my interest in becoming a nurse. When my father was able to be home alone for short periods I went to take my Certified Nursing Aide class and passed. I worked in the nursing home setting, the hospital setting on Pediatrics and Women’s Health for five years, then moved to Missouri and worked for Health Midwest at Menhora Hospital before moving back to New York. I was then a pediatric home health aide for seven years then I got married and started our family.

It seems that healthcare just continues to follow me and I am needed to care for others. I am quick to help anyone I can, if I can. I donate food to families that don’t have enough. I feel that I am a caring, warm hearted, patient, and respectful individual. Fast forward to when my son was four years old and my care giving in the medical sense starts again as he was diagnosed with Acure Lymphoblastic Leukemia and this was devastating news to my husband and I. With our daughter about turn one two hours away while we are at the hospital with our son was hard as well.

Our son made it through three and a half years of chemo and treatments and today we say he is cancer free. Fastward to today.

I chose this degree because I have so many firends that suffer from PTSD, anxiety, depression and so many other mental health issues. It seems like they have a hard time getting into see therapists and counselors, I love helping people and I want to try to make a difference in people’s lives. I know you can’t help everyone.

Then we realized that our children have a hard time expressing themselves and I wanted to be able to help them cope with life and hard times to the best of my abilities. This is where my story is now I here at Post full time and running a household, and trying to build a house ourselves we have a lot on our plate but we will pull through.

TYNE’S POST:

Top of Form

Hello, my name is Tyne Reinosa and I’m currently pursuing my B.S in Human Services.  In this paragraph I’ll be telling you a little bit about myself. I’m 27 years old and I currently reside in FL. I live with my boyfriend of 10 years, my mother, and our teenage son who we’ve been raising for about 5 years now. I know what you all are probably thinking to yourself how we are raising a teenager if we’re such young adults ourselves. Long story short, my boyfriend’s coworker asked if we could become his guardians since he loved being with us.

I would love to elaborate more however I’m trying to make this short and simple. I’m currently in the process of becoming a licensend agent for healthcare. I unfortunately don’t have a set schedule at the moment. What I’ll be doing is on some of my days off I’ll be dedicating a whole day to schooling.  When I started Post University, I was unemployed so this will be different for me this term. I’m not going to lie I’m a bit nervous about this class only because I struggled in writing back in HS. I’m not going to allow that to scare me. I’m super stoked to see what this class is going to bring me.
