Inside My Mind

      Fast food has become a common source for most of people's meals. After all, it is convenient, somewhat affordable, and most of all convenient. This McDonald's ad shows a fuel pump, which represents McDonald's food pouring into the soda representing our food. The ad uses the line, "Fuel up... feel good!" Is McDonald's really a healthy source for us to be fueling our bodies with?     In this ad, McDonald's is saying that their food offers fuel for our bodies. Based off of the sources of their food, and how they cook it, is it really the best option to give us nutrients?     In society nowadays, it is common for people to rely mainly on fast food places to feed themselves. This poses the problem of are these fast food places actually fueling our bodies with the nutrients our bodies need. In order to keep costs down and maximize their profit, many places use cheap nutritional sources for their food and then cook them in unhealthy ways, which may make...

    Who else is a barista? As we head into the holiday season, many coffee places have introduced holiday drinks to get into the Christmas spirit. With an increase in volume due to people shopping and wanting to taste these drinks that they waited all year for, baristas have become overwhelmed with the amount of drinks, making it extremely hard to keep up with sales.     As a Starbucks partner, I have had to deal with the release of the new holiday drinks. As other baristas can tell you, the increased volume in sales is challenging to keep up with. Because of more customers visiting the site and a massive increase in mobile orders, it is challenging to fashion drinks promptly. Not only are there many more drinks to make, but the featured drinks are more complicated with extra steps, making it more challenging to make them. On top of that, as the weather gets colder, many people are switching to hot drinks. This introduces an extra step. Now, you have to steam milk, a...

     Where does our food even come from? After watching the Fresh movie, I started to think about the conditions in which our is produced. Before this, the farthest I had ever thought about it was the grocery store that we get our food from. There is a longer chain of where our food comes from than I have ever thought about.      The Fresh movie is targeted toward consumers who are affected by the conditions in which our food is grown. By showing different farming conditions and talking to farmers about how they run their farms, the producers give us examples of different types of farms and how they treat their livestock. They are also talking to farmers about the conditions of their farms, many of which have turned away from inhumane methods. By giving us first-hand witnesses and showing graphic fFrootage of cruel farms, they are proving that it is better for the animals living on these farms with more humane and caring methods.     This film is ...

 Taylor Swift is a mastermind when it comes to marketing strategies. Tonight, she will release 1989 Taylors version nine years after the original album was released. You may be thinking, "how can she re release an album when we've already heard the songs?" She has somehow successfully done it in the past and it all part of her plan to own her music.      Everyone knows this album. You could play pretty much any song and everyone would be able to sing along. So why is Taylor trying to re release it when it has already had its spotlight? Wouldn't it just flop since everyone already knows the songs? Taylor is releasing all of her old albums that she does not own the rights to. By rerecording it, and calling it (Taylor's Version), she is able to re release the music she wrote and have the rights to do what she wants with it.      She has done this with three of her previous albums all of which have broken records and have grown to become more successful t...

 Advertisements are a common thing that we encounter when viewing almost any media. Wether it be a show on tv, YouTube, or even driving down the freeway we are most likely faced with multiple ads that try to influence the way that we think. These advertisments use different methods to actually influence us. This advertisement about Allstate insurance , uses a couple different methods to change our perspective and try to convince us to buy their product. The commercial for Allstate insurance immediately starts out with our actor appearing to be in some sort of accident based off of the bandages and blood on his face. He is then seen talking to the camera is if he is making a video. He then states that he is doing it for the "likes." This gives us the first insight that he is referring to a world that is engulfed in social media. He seems to be sarcastic like he is making fun of people who will do anything for the likes. He then, suggest a bad idea and acknowledges that it will...

 In todays day, we often see musical artists creating their music from home and being extremely succesful. This is extremely different from the past where artists would rely on studios and labels to pay for them to record their music. Not only has it made it easier for upcoming artists to create music, it has increased exploration of musical genres and created growth for musical artists.    You may be wondering, how can someone make music in their room without a band or instruments to actually make the music? Due to advances in technology there has been an extreme change in how sound is engineered and made it a much easier field to experiment with. Rather then relying on expensive equipment to create music, you can now use something as simple as just your computer. Artists such as Billie Ellish have created successful albums in their rooms with little equipment such as a computer, microphone, and speakers. Rollin Stones has a video on YouTube showing behind the scenes of...
