What aspects of our lives were emphasized by the speeches, ceremony, music, song, spectacle? What image of "the good and meaningful life" was strengthened and what sorts of lives were implicitly or explicitly critiqued?
Obama's speech was very inspiring and influential. He has given everyone hope to become better people by starting with a clean slate. His words were very powerful although there has not been any change yet, you can hear it in his speech that he is very serious and determined to change and improve all the negatives in our country. Everybody in the U.S is counting on this new president to make change. I feel like this year is all about change, which is a positive thing for us. We finally got the chance to start new with a responsible and determined president.
Although Obama's words were very positive, we don't know for a fact what changes are going to be made. Personally, I want to see his words come true. I believe he will make change but I want to see how far he can go as for improving our economy. I would like to see the social classes come together and everyone be treated equal no matter the race, color, etc.
Obama states, "On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics." He is determined to be the one to make up for others mistakes toward our country. This quote is like a wake-up call to all that we have had so much negativity in our country that something needs to be done and having a new president is the first step to success. We need to work together to better our country and our lives. We must face our difficulties and solve our problems.
Obama also quotes,"the time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness." This quote has touched many lives, people have hope for a better future becuase of Obama's determination towards new goals and accomplishments for all of us.
In his speech when Obama says, That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet...Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met." He is talking about lower class citizens who lack jobs, money, education, etc. He wants to improve their lives first, he wants to help the people who are in great need of help first. This makes sense becuase I feel like the majority of people in the United States are the lower class people who include blacks and Hispanics. In Obama's quote he speaks about greed and irresponsibility is a part of why our economy is weakening, but you cant stop someone from being greedy, if they are working really hard for the money they are earning but I do feel if you earn so much and okay you work hard for it, you should still give some to people in need who don't have nothing in life.
In conclusion, Obama's speech has been something that will not be forgotten and hopefully with these words actions will be followed. We need to improve our society to better our future. We need to work together and let go of the hatred and greed.

Unfinished business/ 'Where do we go from here' Responses
The article "Martin Luther King's unfinished business" portrays MLK as this hero figure who wanted to gain the peace between all races. "In August 1963, under Kennedy's presidency, King led a multi-racial rally of 250,000 in Washington demanding economic justice... King held the crowd spellbound with his inspiring, momentous "I have a dream" speech about how "this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." (Page 1)I believe that this article has made people view MLK as this heroic person that has done his best to not only improve black society, but the whole world. He fought for equality; which is most important not only to Americans but also African Americans. MLK's accomplishments and achievements are awarded today through celebrating his death. We are supposed to honor this day with respect and thanks to him becuase he improved our country by changing the way people viewed others.
In my point of view, I believe that Martin Luther King is an important figure in the United States because we Americans are taught to believe that becuase of him, our society has changed and improved to be more peaceful. MLK fought for all races and their rights as humans. He states, "Many of our white brothers as evidenced by their presence here today have come to realise that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and they come to realise that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone." Martin Luther King was an inspiration and a positive influence to people who believed they had differences with other races, he wanted to open people's eyes to see that everyone is united; no matter the race, color, or ethnicity, we are all the connected. Personally, I believe that MLK's accomplishments made a big difference for our country. He improved the way we viewed one another and it made a big change.
Through Martin Luther King's achievements we have made him into a "plastic postage stamp saint". In our LDH2BM class we made a definition for this name as, the idea to make someone this perfect figure to society and how we cannot be like them. In other words we have made MLK into this plastic saint who did the right things in life and because of everything he has done for our country, he is now someone we all honor and appreciate. We have made believe that when someone has done a great deed in their life, they must be honored and we must celebrate their accomplishments.
When Martin Luther King stated, " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal", it had a big impact on how everyone viewed themselves and others. MLK has influenced everyone that we are all one. We are connected in every way. We were all born with different colors, races, etc but we are all equal. I agree with MLK becuase in my point of view color does not matter. I believe we are all equal and no matter the race or social class we should be treated the same. The difference between rich and poor really upsets me because our society has made us to believe that the rich are the higher class and becuase they are "rich" they have more power and respect while the poor are the lower class who don't have much power or respect and as they work their way up to the rich, the rich are only getting more money more power and more respect. Our government has gave the rich more options in life to succeed in life while the poor has to work hard to become successful. This to me is unfair and it contradicts what Martin Luther King has stated that "everyone is equal". As a middle class citizen I believe that there are many things in life that are unfair but I know that isn't up to me. Isn't that unfair?

LDH2BM - Folk Culture Holiday Analysis (Thanksgiving)
In the United States we have been celebrating many holidays. We have certain images, messages, ideas, thoughts, etc. for celebrating these holidays. We as Americans have been limited to what we can do on these special days. From dressing a certain way, to decorating our homes, we have been following a strict rule on how we can celebrate these "wonderful" holidays. Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving) One of the most basic reasons for celebrating Thanksgiving; is being thankful for everything you have.
Thanksgiving is a day where "we" as Americans should be with our families. It is a day where food is the main thing to make it an official Thanksgiving day. There are certain foods we must eat to also make it a Thanksgiving dinner. The centerpiece of our current Thanksgiving in the United States is a large meal, most likely surrounded by a large roasted turkey, with side dishes including sweet potato, mashed potato, corn, stuffing, etc. There is also a certain dress code, which is to basically look your best compared to what you normally put on a regular day. In my opinion, if Thanksgiving is a day for gratitude than it really shouldn't matter what you have on and how good you look, you're with your family; who are supposed to be people who care and love you. But since we have been limited to certain things, in other words on this day we are not ourselves. We must be happy, look our best and be with our family. Three main things to have a good and meaningful life on Thanksgiving.
As I stated before Thanksgiving is day where it's only about family. Yes, you are excluding your friends! Our society has made it seem as if family is number one on our list and it would be very strange to spend your Thanksgiving day with others besides you family. This is one big thing that we must keep in mind through our society, if we spend our holidays differently from how society has made us believe we will not fit into our society. I do not agree with this, I believe that we should have options on how to celebrate our holidays and n one should be excluded. One contradiction on this day is where the family sits together and talks about how they are happy and act like everything is okay. No one really thinks about the history behind this day and how it was once this horrible thing to think about. No one ever brings up the fact that Thanksgiving day came from the Indians getting killed by the Whites. That is one thing that excluded at dinner, you must act like everything is perfect and how the history was horrible for those Indians who got killed and then robbed. No one barely speaks about the fact that there are many people who don't even have a home and something to eat while we stuff our faces with food and then whatever we don't finish, goes straight to the garbage.
Holidays can be looked as good or bad. It's good to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family and get closer to them but what contradicts this holiday is that you only really act this loving and caring on this certain day. It's bad on the other hand becuase we are limited on how we are supposed to act and feel on this day. We don't realize the real meaning towards celebrating holidays.
In conclusion, holidays can be a good and bad thing. The most important thing people should think about whether or not they want to follow society's rule or do things on your own and be independent.

LDH2B BIG PAPER (Revised)
Introduction
People believe that having a good and meaningful life will make them a better person and that they will go to heaven when they die, but to be truly honest I don't think there will ever be a "right" or "wrong" way to live life. So, to the people that are trying to better their lives to be happier, "wake up to reality becuase whatever you do, your life will never be perfect". We usually get most of our ideas and beliefs from the larger subculture. The larger culture can be considered a combination of three major sources - corporate/commodified culture, folk culture, and big subcultures. I feel as if we should forget about the contradictory messages from our culture and make-up our own ways on how to live a good and meaningful life.
My ideas
My ideas on the good and meaningful life are to take risks in life that will help you become a better person and to overcome things you never thought you can do. Many would think of my ideas as rhetorical and childish but I really feel that working on yourself to be happier and successful will make you feel more of a better person not precisely give you a good and meaningful life but feeling right about yourself is key in my life. What I am trying to say is if you love to draw or write, go right ahead and do it but do something that is healthy for you and your life. In my point of view, an example of a meaningless life would be to be the person that sits on their ass and accomplishes nothing in their life. Someone who rather waste his or her life playing video games and watching t.v for hours and doesn't explore the world to try new things. One of the biggest dominant cultures is the corporate message from the media. The majority of of music videos, movies, and advertisements give us an insight on how to live a good and meaningful life. It's not so much of a positive advice we get but a more "in order to be cool or in order to be beautiful this is what you must do..." We always find ourselves in these situations and it's not one of the best because it's as if we're slaves to the society; whatever is told, we have to do it. For example, a teen in high school always feels pressured from worrying about his/her looks to his/her's way of living. You always want to belong to a group or else like it is told, "You'll be a geek or an outsider" as our society calls it.
Others Ideas
From my interviews with my family and friends, I noticed that they struggled with this question, which made me think that there will never be such an answer to sum up the meaning of life. It is just how you look at it. I asked three people who are very close to me these questions, “What do you think and believe the meaning of life is?” “How meaningful or meaningless is your life?”
First, I interviewed my father. He began off telling me family was the most important thing to him but as he continued to get more in depth he concluded, “having the freedom to say what you want and believe in what you believe right when you come out your mother’s wound is something that I find most important in my life because without that you wouldn’t be living the life you chose to live now.” I thought this answer was a little strange but when I thought about it I started to agree with it. We choose the lives we live but its only because we have the right to pick how we want to live it which makes our lives either meaningful or meaningless.
I also interviewed my mother. Her answer was more on the simple side. She said that the meaning of life was to be alive and to finally have the opportunity to be someone. I understood where she was coming from but I didn’t agree with this answer it just seemed too simple. Being alive is something people are happy with but not something people are thankful for on the regular basis, they are just glad that they’re alive while having people that will be helpful to you in your future and the goals you accomplished is something that is meaningful to many. It is also a part of the meaning of life to me. My mother quotes, “Personally, someone might not think my life is meaningful but the way I see it, it is. I am happy with my life and I have my children to prove it. I have a job and I have somewhere to live, I’m not just your average face I am somebody in life no matter how you see it.” This answer was very interesting to me and it made me think more deeply into what the meaning of life really is, but there are many answers, ideas, and thoughts, which questions me what is the meaning of life? How does someone know? The meaning of life is very tricky. People answer this question thinking, “What do I like to do? What do I love most? Who do I love most?” And so on…there is never one answer to this question.
The third person I interviewed was my close friend Yanet. As I asked her my questions she responded, “the meaning of life to me is accomplishing the goal you want to achieve and being someone important in life.” I would mostly likely have to disagree with her answer just because in my perspective I believe that someone can have all the education and money in the world and still may not be happy or feel like his/her life is meaningful; it might just be that they are doing this to feel batter and higher than everyone else or its just an expectation that someone who raised them expects from them.
Dominant messages
Corporate dominant messages bascially send messages that are going after young people who are naive to believe the things they say. In VH1, the international T.V show "Real Chance of Love," is about two brothers who are out in the world trying to find love. The massage that they give young people is that you need to have fame in life and you should do anything to get the person you love even if you have to embarrass yourself on national t.v. These women are exploiting themselves to some guys that they barely know and are willing to do the most dumb things to get them. If you watch this t.v show you see drama after drama with between all these young and beautiful women who are all after the same two guys.
Music Video
In our world we receive mixed messages about life in general. We are told how to live life. From having the good looks to being the richest person alive,I wanted to demonstrate how music videos influence us to live a certain way.The song Lip Gloss is basically giving out a message to all young people that you have to be cool in order to be accepted. As you can see in the video in order to be "cool" you have to have expensive products and materials, look a certain way to get attention from others especially the opposite sex. These messages are influencing young people that they have to act like someone that they're not to be accepted in a group. At the beginning of Lil Mama's video she is sitting in the care with her mother ready to go to school as shes about to get out she tells her mother she wants to be "part of the cool crowd" her mother gives her the lip gloss and as the video begins she quotes,
"They say my lip gloss is cool
My lip gloss be popping
I'm standing at my locker
And all the boys keep stopping
What you know 'bout me?"
In this quote she is saying that because her lip gloss is so "cool" guys are after her and girls are jealous of her. She wants to be the center of attention which is what a lot of young girls these days tend to accomplish. There is a part in the video that show a "geeky" boy with eyeglasses turns "cool" as Lil Mama blows some sparkles at him and automatically he drops his glasses and begins to dance ridiculously. You can see in the video that they are in a school dancing through the hallways, not even getting an education learning about important subjects but being educated on how to be cool. The video also shows a clip where there is a poster that has Lil Mama for class president. The meaning behind that is voting for her because she is "cool" and good looking, not because she will contribute to the school's education and intelligent. Most videos similar to these give mixed-messages to young people. Some may say its the way they express themselves as showing how much fun they're having as young people but they are really brainwashing people that there is a specific way to live a meaningful life which is to have all the glamor in the world. Pop culture has influenced young people so much that they truly believe that to be happy in life you need all the expensive products and materials, that you need to be good-looking and I feel that is when all the fixing you body up doing surgery, botox etc. comes in. People want to look like their favorite singer or celebrity and they will do whatever it takes to look and feel like them. People need to realize that being cool is not going to make your life more meaningful but its going to show how dim-witted you really are.
Films
In the film The Dark Knight, the movie is based on an 2008 American super hero. Batman who apparently is the hero of the film, is eager to set out and destroy organized crime in Gotham (which is where the setting takes place) for good. In the civilian's eyes Batman is a good person because he saves lives. He is expected to protect everyone else and be this great figure to the society in order to live a good and meaningful life. This is a an example of a dominant message.
