thank you very much if someone can help me or give any ideas...
"We have all grown accustomed to things in our lives and now simply take them for granted. It becomes more problematic when we have never taken the time to look closely at what is around us and take those things at face value. I call this the “danger of passivity.” This passiveness is present in many people today who simply take what others tell them as the truth. They do not question the media, our leaders, or even our teachers. They simply believe in the honesty of those around them. What are these people really telling us? How do we get past this passiveness? How do we make people see what is going on behind the scenes?
For this essay, you should take any piece of advertising, television, or film and examine it closely and break it down into smaller parts. By pulling these items apart, you should be able to tell us something about the whole: something shocking, enlightening, or just interesting. This analysis can be done in a variety of ways. The first of which involves comparing and contrasting this item with provable facts or real events. What does this piece remind you of? What should it remind us of? This entire process might contain some outside study which looks at what you are looking at. Say you are addressing the show The Real World and its effects on our social interactions; you would probably want to look for a source which addresses that same topic like “What Happens When People Stop Being Polite?” in the book ***, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs. That essay traces the presence of character traits of people on the early seasons of The Real World as they appeared in the author’s everyday life. You could also examine the tactics employed by the company producing or airing the piece. What are they after? How are they trying to convince us? Why are they doing it?
Find a source that you like or dislike and analyze it for the world to see. Why is it popular? What is it really saying? Should we be laughing or crying? Etc."
