Hey guys its Dante again, I'm here to catch you up with whats going down in class today. So we had a class about our letters that we did in the class prior to today. We opened up with little snippets of a couple of students letters and some cool rendition of the letters through poetry. And the topic of modern day outlets and how they affect millennials came up for a bit.Lets bring it back to the mother lands when chismis was obtainable by talking to people and pagers wasn't a thing yet. At the time, society's culture was shaped around how you lived on your island from what you wear to how you acted. You would inherit the traits of you fellow neighbors of your barangay from talking and interacting with people. Prepping food and just working together on projects would bring you socilizing. You dress your self with obtainable items on the island. Next we would treat people in our barangays as humans.Fast forwarding to the generations of early millennials, the invention of the T.V. and technology in the late 80's early 90's change culture forever. Creating a marketing monster that will change the way people act and dress. Yet not as crazy as today but, we will get into that later. Due to technology, companies were able to reach a huge population through movies, music/music videos, art, and television. Society was able to see what was cool and trendy from actors and artist, people praised similar to a deity, quickly setting a standard to how we dress and respected one another. Created fashion trends and standards to become acceptable. We as humans wanting to be accepted want to fit in group. So we adopt culture from a group to create "urban culture" where we demoralize each other. Call women B****s (and be okay with it) then make fun of each other to feel bigger. Went from simple to complicated yet before the invention of social media and smart phones, we retained some habits. T.V. made parties seem "cool" but for a party you need to prep by cooking food with our your family, which is time consuming, and spend time cooking and prepping which required communicating verbal. Watch this YouTube video and analyse what I'm saying from a scene in a great movie called Poetic Justice.Lastly we travel to today on how millennials are shaped into "zombies" craving acceptance and instant gratification. With later generation millennials, social network is really big. Social networks is a platform used to now communicate with a lot of people now unconsciously satisfying our craving for instant gratification for likes and follows. Instead of talking to our barangay we save time and effort by just posting it up. Also leading to finding the new trends that are sponsored by companies and corporations to follow that style. Creating a subliminal and concrete way of advertising. Conditioning a person idea of "hansom" or "beautiful" as something with a price tag. To impress everyone you meet instead of your family or barangay.
