Question Posted Wednesday September 20 2006, 7:39 pm
i need help with an assignment. can someone give me some opinions or answers to these questions that may help me understand the assignment better and give me some ideas? thank you so much.
*think about images or words you see each day that truly stand out. how do these images help to shape who you are as a person and your family as well?
*How have these images shaped American society and what we value?
*What does it mean to be an American in this day and age?
*How have images or words in current media caused what we value to evolve or change?
Additional info, added Thursday September 21 2006, 7:31 am: i just need ideas.. thats all. im not asking you to answer it like you would if it were your assignment. . Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category? Maybe give some free advice about: School? littleblufirefly answered Thursday September 21 2006, 11:53 am: I'm going to try to help you out, but this assignment really depends on you as a person and what your family values. Words or images you see everyday that stand out: On the dollar bill it says "In God We Trust", which symbolizes what the majority of Americans value, religion. Also, the American flag, the Lincoln Memorial, and the eagle also represent freedom. If you see the court house, this could symbolize justice and peace. If you pass a music store, this could symbolize freedom of speech. These images show what we value, ie: freedom, freedom of speech, justice, peace, freedom of religion, etc. As for what it means to be an American, that's up to you. Images or words in media shape the American society. Media tells us whats in style, what music to listen to, what is right and what is wrong. I hope this helped. Feel free to message me if you have anymore questions. <3 Dana [ littleblufirefly's advice column | Ask littleblufirefly A Question ]
