in the null; in denial: 1984
http://inthenull.blogspot.com/2009/10/1984.html
In the null; in denial. A mish-mash of everything comms related. Or at least, I try! Sunday, October 18, 2009. In George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, the citizens of the province Airstrip One (which actually is Britain) in Oceania (the location of Americas, Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and southern Africa below the River Congo, according to the novel) were under the totalitarian rule of the authoritarian Party , resulting in an oligarchical collectivist society. Scope required him to rewri...

The Youth Is Starting To Change, Are You Starting To Change?: Entry #6: Ban Trend
http://crashingcassettes.blogspot.com/2009/10/entry-6-ban-trend.html
Sunday, October 18, 2009. Entry #6: Ban Trend. And decided to feature some of the ads that were deemed inappropriate due to sensitive political, religious and sexual content. This advertisement on anti-smoking is yet again provocative and seen as violent. The public was afraid that because such images are widely displayed on billboards, buses and pillars on sidewalks, it may have a harmful impact on young children. October 24, 2009 at 1:47 AM. October 24, 2009 at 3:05 PM. However, even though the governm...

The Youth Is Starting To Change, Are You Starting To Change?: Entry #5: Group Whoop!
http://crashingcassettes.blogspot.com/2009/10/entry-5-group-whoop.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. Entry #5: Group Whoop! Within a social group, there are always people who are better listeners, problem-solvers and peace makers. Therefore many a time, people take on different roles to maintain the harmony of the group they belong to. Groups predominantly exist in the world to satisfy the interpersonal needs of the individual, placing him at a higer position of self sufficiency on the emotional ladder. October 16, 2009 at 10:33 PM. October 18, 2009 at 1:42 AM. Yup I agree with...

The Youth Is Starting To Change, Are You Starting To Change?: Entry #7: McDonalds opens in Lourve
http://crashingcassettes.blogspot.com/2009/10/entry-7-mcdonalds-opens-in-lourve.html
Sunday, October 25, 2009. Entry #7: McDonalds opens in Lourve. Some people however, may feel that a mere McDonalds outlet would not disrupt the culture of the fine museum but in turn enhance it and make it more modern. McDonalds IS culture. As mentioned in the video. Youths may find the museum less boring with something they are more familiar with and are able to gravitate to. After all, almost everywhere is McDonalized. So why try to influence the only entity that has not been touched by consumerim?

in the null; in denial: 500 days of seasons
http://inthenull.blogspot.com/2009/10/500-days-of-seasons.html
In the null; in denial. A mish-mash of everything comms related. Or at least, I try! Sunday, October 11, 2009. 500 days of seasons. 500 Days of Summer (pun intended) transcends your typical romance comedy. It is far from your sentimental, sappy love stories, save one cheesy part towards the end. This film screams indie all over from the soundtrack with The Smiths, covers of The Pixies (all your old school wonders) right up to Zooey Deschanel's argyle prints and mid-calf skirts. After their break-up, Tom ...

The Youth Is Starting To Change, Are You Starting To Change?: Entry #4: Homosexuality in order?
http://crashingcassettes.blogspot.com/2009/10/in-no-relation-to-bible-christianity.html
Sunday, October 4, 2009. Entry #4: Homosexuality in order? Theories have also stated that it is more difficult for a gay or lesbian couple to repair their relationships during the period of differentiation, circumscribing and stagnating (reference: Knapp Model of Relational Development. Of course, we have to bear in mind that mindsets take time to change. It could take years, decades or even centuries to change views and perceptions of issues that are not socially accepted. However, will such a s...Perha...

in the null; in denial: Marriage Marred
http://inthenull.blogspot.com/2009/10/marriage-marred.html
In the null; in denial. A mish-mash of everything comms related. Or at least, I try! Friday, October 2, 2009. This is an advertisement, which is worth a good laugh, for Nomad whereby there are selling out their "No commitment, no contract" for mobile plan. In the ad, the couple has just tied the nuptial knot and are being led by their raging hormones. Bride goes missing for quite awhile and groom peeps into the toilet only to be horrified by seeing his bride standing to pee - you get the picture. Recentl...

http://valeriechuameishi.blogspot.com/2009/09/image-matters.html
Thursday, September 17, 2009. Bad image for Singapore? Featured above is a short clip of an interview with Miss Singapore World 2009 winner- Ris Low. She tells us more about herself in the clip and also gives us some advice on fashion. And what would others think of Singapore upon meeting her? Perception includes the process of selecting, organising and interpreting information presented before us. In this case, the majority of us would choose to focus only on the negative aspects of Ris Low, namely ...

Back to basics: Communication: Two halves make a whole
http://valeriechuameishi.blogspot.com/2009/09/2-halves-make-whole.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. Communication: Two halves make a whole. We all know the usefulness of language. Here, language helps establish the main characters in the clip, namely Blair, Georgina and Vanessa. They can be seen dominating the conversation, especially Blair and Georgina. Many of us tend to overlook the value of non-verbal communication. Take for example the use of kinesics here. We see how Blair feels like an outcast through her false smiles and her symbolic retreatment backwards....There...
