PWR2 Reflection:

We focused a lot on memes in PWR2. It made me realize that these comical quips are actually powerful tools that can be used to express ideas very creatively (as demonstrated by the countless meme exercises we did). In fact, memes are an important way that our generation communicates. We are able to use memes in and outside of their contexts to make points that wouldn’t be as easy to make without said memes. They are, in a sense, a sort of rhetorical tool that is used by our generation.

We focused on memes that were generated for public interest and went viral. Whether it be the victory baby, philosopher raptor, or confused Fry, all the memes we focus on are viral and public memes. But something I noticed recently is that memes are both used in public settings (i.e. philosopher raptor) and memes are used in much more private, inside joke settings. What I have posted here is a meme generated by a friend about another friend. We have an inside joke, a story he told us about himself, where when he was younger, he was unable to control his anger when someone laughed at him, and somehow he took that person by the head kneed him in the face and yelled “WHO’S LAUGHING NOW! WHO’S LAUGHING NOW!” 

I just find it so interesting how prevalent memes are in our society. There are work wide memes, personal memes, memes only fans of a certain show or game know, memes that are down right bizarre, blue memes, red memes, multicolored memes, oddly shaped memes…wait I think I’m digressing into incomprehensible rambles. But you get the idea. There is a plethora of memes and there rhetoric powerful is unimaginable. That’s something I learned in PWR2 (wow I sound like a second grader).

Thanks Susan

While my paper briefly mentioned that men are more inclined to watch reality TV “to learn” rather than to to be “entertained,” I think my paper could be strengthened if I spent a few pages delving into how exactly men are learning from the contrived authenticity displayed before them. I think it would be particularly interesting to explore the ways in which men perceive female relationships and compare these relationships to how men interact with one another. Since reality television generally portrays men as less aggressive and catty with one another than women are, there’s a danger that male viewers might assume that women are male-focused and thus let their relationships with one another be easily affected by men.

If I were to add another chapter to my research, I would be interested in exploring how women’s perceptions, specifically, about other women might change as a result of viewing the portrayal of females in reality TV and social media. I would explore questions such as the following:

Do what women…
