Assignment Questions: Introduction to Mass Media 101 Week I find some of the Jamaican reggae music video very offensive. This is because the videos are full of provocative scenes and sex dancing which leaves little to the imagination of the viewer. The videos also treat women as sex object. This has created a wrong impression of women who are valued according to their sexual appeal and used as objects to gratify the sexual appetite of men.Week 2:In this assignment the song “happy” by Pharrell Williams will be analyzed in terms of aesthetic, moral, emotional and cognitive aspects.

In terms of the esthetic value, the video is quite appealing with different people showing different dances. In terms of moral value, the song is not offensive and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. In the dimension of emotions, the song teaches one to smile even in the face of adversity. This is in the line where the singer says that he does not car whether someone gives them bad news. In the cognitive dimension, the song opens up the mind to feel happiness by comparing it with sunshine and freedom.

Week 3“Scandals” is a TV series that is premiered on the TV. The themes of this series are bad governance, use of power to one’s advantage and infidelity. A child who is 5-8 years watching this show would learn how the people in government operate and more on national affairs such as elections. Emotionally, the child would learn to let reason override their emotions. Morally, the child would learn that they should get what they want in life even when it involves hurting other people. If a child watched the show through adolescence without parental guidance they would tend to have delinquency behavior as they would tend to believe that even if they make a mistake, everything can be fixed.
