How, if at all, do you consider yourself as “active”?

I answered number 1.

Honestly I am not active when I watch television, reading a book, or playing video games. I am however really active when it comes to listening to music. Once I listen to any type of music I try to find more and more music that sounds somewhat like the music that I am listening to. Currently I starting to listening to old school R&B like Erka Badu Bag Lady and old hip hop like a  De La Soul ,Tribe Called Quest, Diddy, Biggie, Nas, Tupac, Eazy E,. I tend to find myself looking at old interviews of these artist because a lot of these artist were so wise and so ahead of there time its honestly heart breaking because some of these artist that I named are now gone and died way to soon. Not many artist like Tupac, Eazy E, Biggie or even Nas can be duplicated an now were stuck with  music that we can't barley understand and not many artist are confident about talking about issues like how the artist back in the day use to. Anyways i'm getting off subject, I also listen to a lot of 80's and even early 2000's R&B   music but I always listened to different types of music, since I was a sophomore in high school so I guess me listening to these type of genres is not all that surprising. But ever since I watched Straight Outta Compton movie I needed to do more research when it comes to hip hop and music in general because there was so much that I didn't know. For example, Nina Simone once I saw  the Netflix movie documentary about her  I felt that she was not just a singer she was a poet, she was outspoken, and a person that gave African Americans a voice of what was going on then in that time. I find myself always active when it comes to finding my type of music and finding artist that I gravitate towards because of their voice, their individuality and the way the beat is once they begin rapping or singing. 

Here is a song that I really like with Tribe called quest. (I also really like the video also)

Hypoermic Model

Honestly, I had a lot of trouble starting this post because I wasn't sure exactly sure how I would make an example from the hypodermic model and I was just kinda confused in general. However, the hypodermic model is a theory that the mass media direct, immediate and powerful effect on the audience. I don't know what exactly or if my example is right on wrong but there are a lot of examples that came to thought when I was thinking about the Hypodermic Model. I think that the example that comes to mind is Television and Radio such as advertisement or even magazines .  For example in  advertisement there might be a product that a person may be influenced in buying a product like a perfume or a fitness product by how a person looks or feels. Magazines are a big influences on everyone's life, especially on women.  Tabloid magazines, beauty tips, or even how women are "supposed took". The radio is also the same thing advertisement, pop culture, and even these things can influence a lot of people.  People want to know whats the new thing or the new products that could help with there daily lives and television helps with fashion, gossip, and this could influence a lot of people they would think this looks great on them or this worked for them so why not me the same thing with the radio.  That goes for any media outlet.  This could be a good thing and a bad thing to have media like television and the radio  to a have a influence on others because for some people they might think that from what people are saying they would be influenced on what people say and eventually can't think for themselves.
