Memoir Assignment

Family is the root source to my upbringing ensuring my personal progress and promoting well being. Without the interactions between me and family, or friends my life would be altered severely. The people I associate with are loving individuals providing insight and a different view point for me to think differently. The people called my family are the individuals I am most familiar with and commonly around. Friends have been an effective source in being beneficial by conversing in a friendly manner to promote my imagination and overall good mood. Most friends are more temporary while the family will always be together, though some individuals do create a sense that they are family. Though family is generally blood related, Good friends can seem as if they are family themselves.
These relationships have shaped the foundation of my thought process and have unintentionally forged my beliefs over the years.

From teaching me manners to teaching me how to ride a bike my family has always been there for me telling me to reach for the stars and do as I wish to do without squandering over petty things. You only live once and must give it your all while you still can because life is short. I am already 19 years of age when it feels like I was just ten worrying about what video game to play. Now I am onto more serious matters such as worrying about paying bills,and excelling in college while working. I now shuffle through out the crowd as a usual person instead of a wandering young boy lost from his mother. These changes though they happened subtly leave me in awe at how much I can grow in a few short years.
The future is unpredictable but with effort you can increase your odds of succeeding.

Friends to me are individuals that are trust worthy and loyal. This is why dog is mans best friend, A fellow animal to nurture and help promote without deceiving you. The need to protect falls into play with anyone you are associated with on a personal level. The actual friends I have made over the years are enjoyable to me, And I to them. In times of support I am never without a helping hand near by, though I prefer to solve issues personally it is comforting to know help is close by. Decisions I make are unintentionally made subconsciously with the constant thought of making others proud instead of being a disappointment. Though I do not dwell on failure, as decisions need to be made regardless in situations and to regret is merely preventing you from progressing. Every idea formed in my head is brought about from my memory and the people I interact with. If my mother were to not raise me or I was to be born with no one to care for me I would simply have died unable to achieve anything.

I remember days where money was never anything I thought of, Now it’s constantly on my mind to save up and pay for what I owe. Whether it’s help paying for grocery’s or just helping to put them away I do whatever I can to assist. The harder you work and the more pride you put into your work the better you’ll feel. If you plan on doing shoddy work your entire life your not going to go anywhere. The hope and drive to continue is what fuels the fire to success.

All my virtues, All my thoughts promoted by my friends and family who support me. This very sentence is made from numerous interactions and ideas that lead me to believe what I currently do. My thought process is always changing, evolving me slowly to become more mature as well as responsible, and hopefully successful. My will to continue and earn my keep is a product of what I was taught. These people, Family as well as friends, Are my everything that I love and respect. To stop believing is giving up on my very culture. Determined to achieve the impossible is not a fools deed, Mere the wise mans path to leave an ever lasting mark on society.

Family Dinner Etiquette (1950) PSA

This public service announcement is one of a typical nature for the 50′s directed at family. This specific ad is about dinner time and explains the importance of sharing and communicating with the family. Food has gathered people around since the beginning of man kind and is still used as a popular tool to converse. The advertisement plays through a family dinner and how kindness should be shared when enjoying a meal with the family. The announcer discusses the “proper” 50′s way to be around family. Discussing all family members should be appropriate and kind.
In all reality dinner with the family isn’t always a complete friendly exchange but kindness with tolerance is a virtue that this advertisement is showing to the viewers. The advertisement is directed at representing the family as a whole instead of individual issues. Formalities such as not discussing gross or disgusting topics while people are eating are addressed, as well as helping everybody out when it comes to cooking and or cleaning up after dinner is served. The overall atmosphere of the ad is to provide a friendly and tolerant base for family’s to follow in accordance with dinner time. Many of these ads were created during the 50′s to preach tolerance and well being. A popular advertisement was the introduction of taking a bath everyday for health reasons.
Relaxation was promoted through the use of emphasizing the family’s ability to communicate with each other. Ensuring that proper communication would generate a much more pleasant eating experience. The statistics are clear: Kids who dine with the folks are healthier, happier and better students, which is why a dying tradition is coming back. This is why I chose a 50′s advertisement to display the message for family tolerance and acceptance has always been around. This idea is not re birthed but rather a cultural tradition of Americans, And I believe should be of any family to sit down and enjoy a meal together. It is a special moment that increased productivity as well as happiness.
The characters depicted in this short film are a father, mother, a teenage son, a young son, And grandmother. It is a black and white film as color wasn’t available then with the family in typical 50′s fashion. Father and older son in suits with the woman in house coats and aprons, Though a stereotype in the 50′s now in days it isn’t uncommon for men or woman to cook the meals. The ad is shown to represent the perfect family, But nobody’s perfect and that’s what makes your family perfect. The family is clearly the target audience in this advertisement and I believe the point is conveyed wonderfully. The point being in which that dinner time should be shared with members of the family in a proper and fitting manner. Kindness is much appreciated during these times, And family is suppose to be there for support. This ad though directed at family applies to any general gathering involving food with proper etiquette to ensure nobody is uncomfortable.

Second Assigment / Proposal

I wish to discuss family & relationships to illustrate male and female roles not just in society, But intertwined with one another. How family differs from any outside source, And the significant roll family plays in your life and how it effects you personally as an individual. As well as how humans interact with each other based on what they see or hear. I would like to discuss more the psychology behind relations and its ethics, Which I believe can tie in with your education as well as your interests. Information is absorbed as if through a sponge with the people you come in contact with. I would like to divulge in how family and or your relationships can make or break a person depending on how they are treated. An alternative subject I would discuss is education or technology. Though with family and relationships I will tie those 2 genre’s together anyway.
