Ted

I found that the episode of Better Off Ted we watched on Tuesday was a really great piece of Media to to analyze in class. Although it was a very exaggerated look at the dynamics of big cooperations, there is a very real underlying issue they in a way, expose to the viewer. I found the key issue to be that our society can be molded and manipulated so easily, which in turn gives big cooperations a plethora of ways to capitalize and profit immensely off the materialistic nature and the blindness we have as a society. They do this through incredible marketing and brilliant advertising based hugely on shaping our perception of "how things should be".
