In my opinion, this society is controlled by “Media”. When people watch television, video, film, and popular music they captured certain things that they don’t purposeful and it can be either positive or negative. Most people nowadays only focus on media and not the actual reality thinking that it is making their lives better but it can also get worse. Messages are conveyed in many different ways and it is like because people like or are addicted to media so much they think that everything that is said is true while it’s not always. An example of this is when advertisements and things gets us to buy their products that are not very liable and we just spend our money on it. Another example is when a celebrity, a president or just someone famous advertises something, they kind of makes us trust whatever they are advertising and then we get even more comfortable and buy it ourselves. Impact of media on gender roles is just like in the real world but they can sometimes exaggerate. Women on media are the ones that are mostly, cooking, cleaning and just basically doing house chores while men are the ones that go to work and provide everything for their families. Some things show on media can be sexist at times because it is not only men that go to work and provide things for the women and it is not only the women that do house chores. Some things shown by media can influence others to act a certain way because like I said before most people rely on media so much that they trust everything it says. 

For my 2nd Genius Hour project I chose a different topic. Is it more appropriate to wear a uniform to school or normal clothes? In order to get more valid information on my topic, I was assigned to follow 10 people on twitter who were related to my project which were all school administrators.

The following admins were: @Dr_LMR, @rvoltz, @ewilliams65, @L17RGY, @NicholasADiaz,  @MrLeBrun, @andre_meadows, @DrConnieDF, @shanestevens and @StevenAlanCohen.

I followed school administrators because I think they are the ones that control the clothes students wear to school. These people relate to my Genius Hour project because I thought since they work at a school they might know which is the appropriate clothes for their students to wear. I asked them all different questions but I think the general question that I was try to come across was if they thought that uniforms should be enforced in schools. This information would help me in my project because then I would know how many people think that uniforms are more appropriate.I really did not expect anyone to reply to my questions but thankfully @StevenAlanCohen, @andre_meadows and @DrConnieDF did give me clear and accurate answers. Luckily out of all the people I tweeted to, @andre_meadows was the only one that followed me back. None of them offered more assistance but after having all of the information that I need I don’t think I need anymore help. I also did not continue the conversation with them because they were so clear and straight-forward in what they had to say. I might use this process in the future in school to help teach others with the knowledge I gained from all of this.
