From How I See It. That’s Why We Are Different. October 4, 2009. Girl: What do you think of this girl? Guy: Very pretty but not quite my type. Guy: She seems like the kind of girl who goes out clubbing a lot. Girl: How do you know? She looks like a perfectly homey girl. Guy: She just looks like one. But I’d do a double take if I see her because she is very pretty. Though the process of how humans form our perception follows a fixed routine, the factors may vary from gender. Coupled with how each individu...

From How I See It. Are You Feeling Naughty? September 27, 2009. For those of you who commute to school by train for instance, did you happen to see an advertisement by Naughty G? Here is a snapshot of the bus print ad. Whether it’s found on the bus, bus stop, in the trains, in print ads or online, they are very similar in terms of design and information put forth. The ad has been running for a few weeks now and it was spotted at places like Clementi MRT Station and even in the trains. Indeed they shouldn...

Media As It Is. Laquo; Foreigners: Bane or Help? Most of us in Singapore have not caught the Twitter fever yet, but our Western and Japanese counterparts have. Twitter is the current ‘fad’. It’s Facebook for stalkers, or well, just plain bored people who love to update about their lives! Before I sound like an advertisement for Twitter, I shall continue on how pervasive a medium Twitter has become! Image from: The First Post]. For example, in August 2009, when President Obama’s opponents slammed th...

Media Repression | Communications
https://myspacebar.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/second-entry-media-repression
From How I See It. September 20, 2009. A week ago, the Straits Times reported on journalists in Hong Kong protesting against media repression. What ignited the protest was the allegation, which claimed that a journalist and his cameraman were tied up, abused and detained by the police while covering a protest on syringe attacks in the state of Xinjiang in China. (The Straits Times, 2009). Which leads us to the next point of where is the press freedom? Take Singapore for example. We do have rather str...

http://secondchance-gracegiven.blogspot.com/2009/10/culture-imperialism-in-nigeria.html
This, for now, is a Communications blog. Sunday, October 25, 2009. Culture Imperialism in Nigeria. I believe that the very awareness of the presence of cultural imperialism serves to diminish its impact. Since these people already know that the American influence on the country’s media, government and society is relatively significant, they will be more alert so as to not fall prey to its attempts to shape culture. October 30, 2009 at 9:48 PM. November 2, 2009 at 7:32 AM. Media globalisation is a double-...

https://nomorereruns.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/oh-wonder
Media As It Is. Laquo; Tweet tweet! A recent article on CNA caught my attention. It was about the Korean girl group, ‘Wonder Girls’. Their song ‘Nobody’ has dominated the airwaves all over Asia, but it has managed to reach the guarded gates of America. Image from: Channel News Asia. My first thought was, ‘Woah, Wonder Girls, really? 8217; I read the news ages ago about them opening for all the Jonas Brothers concerts; a real feat for. 8220;love love LOVES”.
