Signs represent cautions for people who don't use their common sense and take precautions while surrounded by deadly or harmful chemicals. They serve as a reminder for us to be alert.
Jersey Shore: the TV show that serves no purpose but to annoy, entertain, and make fun of people who really act like this. The cast show no role model behavior but none-the-less causes an epidemic TV sensation among all ages throughout the US.
Our technology defines our nation. It provides laziness and convenience. The industry is constantly battling to create a new gadget that WOWs America and empowers us into buying the latest and greatest.
The elephant and donkey are key symbols to our government. It creates tension among voters. New voters struggle to pick which side of the spectrum they belong to.
This symbol is dispersed among border states along the Mexican-American border; informing citizens to be aware of possible immigrants strolling our streets. It has created conflict among our citizens battling for control over immigration.
The woman and man are indicators of same-sex facilities. This allows people to be aware of the difference between restrooms usually. Although some people might not obey these signs, for the sake of others, we like the indication of whether or not we belong in the specific room.
This picture shows the convenience of picking up food through a DRIVE-THRU.You don't even need to leave your car! This issue is a factor of the increasing rate of obesity among Americans.
I love how you set up this blog. I agree with everything you said, but it's pretty sad that things like drive-thrus and Jersey Shore are some of the first things that come to mind when we think of America!
ReplyDeleteYou have some great symbols. The male/female bathroom symbols crack me up as I just read a post on another blog (not from our class) that was talking about how we label our bathrooms says a lot about how we define gender. We're going to do something with that in our socialization unit :)
ReplyDeleteI like how you have jersey shore as your symbol. I cannot believe how much time we spent watching these reality shows and how we try to do what they do on the tv. Also i like how you have drive thru in your symbols we are just so lazy to get out of our cars and get food that we just decide to stay in ours cars.!!
