1. What is a media persona?
A media persona is when one is conscious of his/her actions, for the reasons that they are afraid of showing their true self, because it can be caught on tape and can be posted anywhere, which can potentially ruin their carrier, relationships or reputation.
2.How does social media fit into the proffesional world?
Social media now plays a big part in the proffesional world, because so many people have facebook and twitter, that it's impossible for these things not to intervene. People now a days post everything they do, it can sometimes get out of hand, because some unacceptable things can be discovered by bosses co-workers etc... That is why it is so important for people to put on a media persona, depending where they are, because you just never know.

1. Was there a point where you felt you were overwhelmed and felt like your "image" wasn't enough?
Yes, I have felt overwhelmed about my body image before, it is impossible for someone not to I think. We are constantly surounded by ads of beautiful people, people who we only wish we looked like. The problem is that we are constantly being tricked into thinking that these people are infact beautiful, because they are absolutely perfect. That's when we should think in our right mind, and tell ourselves that no one is perfect, and that we should realise that we are as beautiful as we feel, and not how the rest of world percieves us to be.
2.Is the line blurred between what is "sexy" and the image that you have (or are building) of yourself ?
I think that at 15 years old and older, most teens can distinguish the difference between what is sexy and too revieling, and what is tastful and classy. It depends on the choices that the person makes, because we all know what we should and should not wear. Therefore, yes, the line can be blurred at times, because of what we are exposed to, but it's up to us to create our path. I think the problems lie mostly with 14 year olds and younger, because they are still in the "I want to fit in " stage, hopefully their parents can help them become respectfull and well respected individuals in the long run, because unfortunately their is no stopping the media.
3. Whose role is it to set limits?
Of course advertisers will give any message in order to make money, even if the messages degrate women, or insult certain beliefs however, it is up to the government to aprove of them. In some cases the limits aren't being implemented, because women are still being degrated in video clips and ads, luckely racial, religious ads and others, are not aloud.
4. What advise would you give to a 4 year old about to start her "social life," by going to school next year.
It's hard to know exactly what I would say, because I would want to warn her about the ups and downs on having friends, and how a social statis can start early in school years, with out getting her scared to start school. I wouldn't want to overwhelme her, or make her feel like she should constantly be terrified, which is why I would probably tell her the following: I would reasure her that I love her, and make her feel confortable enough to open up to me about anything. Most of all I would like to make her understand that she is beautiful, and perfect the way she is, and that she should be herself, because that it is the only way that she can make true friends.

1. What is Media?
Media is all around us, it has great impact on our lives. Most of the time we make decisions based on what we see on the news, magazines, billboards etc... The clothes we wear, the restaurants we go to, vacations we take, are all advertized to get our attention and make us want them. Media sells by communicating with large audiences in various ways.
2. What is your favourite form of media?
My favourite form of media would probably be cell phones, because not only can we communicate with people by voice, but also by texting which to me is very practicle.
3. What media do you use the most?
I use mostly my cell phone and radio or ipod, depends what I feel like listening to.
4. Where does Media make itself visible in your life?
Commercials on t.v., radio, and magazines.

The impact of media on our society is huge, like I said before people make there decisions based on what they see. They listen to the news to know what to be carefull of, they look through magazines to find the lastest styles. Media changes their audiences oppinion and persuades them to belive in what they say.

Media image...
This advertisement grabs your attention by showing fingers holding a mini icecube tray, which indirectaly tells you that you now need small icecubes for small cans of Pepi.
Stereotype image...
Why is it that women always have to be the ones who advertize cleaning products?
