Week 9: Internet – Blog 8
by Masayuki Furushima
I have used on-line games with PS3 and PS4. SONY’s games are able to make a community room in the virtual world. However, I developed an addiction of games because these communities and activities made me forget spending time. While I was playing, I didn’t get public news from media literacy, so I decided to escape these communities. I think we should pay attention to public information and to participate public communities.

10: Media Ethics – Blog 9
I am now writing about the status of the ombudsman in today’s media.The American Home ombudsman is supposed to help borrowers get the loan files, and tell them what trust the loan is in. The FDIC (Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation) ombudsman is the person to contact if the bank was part of an FDIC recievership and therefore it is subject to a loss share agreement which has loss mitigation guidelines.

In this class, I have learned American media tools. I couldn’t complete to do my presentation, but I could feel the introduction of journalism from hearing everyone’s presentation and discussion.
I am more interested in advertising because there are huge money making a profit to media corporations, especially for Super Bowl. I want to pay attention to advertisement in the towns or media tools.
Week 7 : Propaganda in Advertising – Blog 6
Written by Masayuki Furushima
– Appeal to authority ; Trump Steaks
This advertisement is that Donald Trump is promoting his brand of steaks saying they are the best in the world. People will believe the steaks are good as they believe someone successful eats them. Donald Trump tries showing this when describing the average American family. It is used to give voters the sense that they can relate with the politican. The politician is trying to show he is just like the voters and understands their endevours. This technique is used to promote the masses to follow a caus if they believe the leader understands their problems.

– Celebrity (Beautiful People) ; SIXPAD
This ad shows promoting your muscles used Cristiano Ronaldo. He has great body, especially in an abdominal muscle. This new commercial for the electrical device that just gets slapped onto your abs, arms, thighs or wherever feels right, Ronaldo lets the Sixpad flap his muscles around for all of YouTube to see. Pretty bold—even if you look like Ronaldo.(http://www.maxim.com/gear/can-new-tech-device-give-you-cristiano-ronaldos-body)
Week5 : Movie – Blog5
By Masayuki Furushima
<My Favorite Movie of 2014-2015>
-Our Little Sister (2015)
When I was seeing this movie, I really considered my family, like how my parents make me and my sisters grow up. The situation of Suzu, who was the youngest sister in this movie, but not true sister with others, was so complex that I could not imagine a process of creating ‘family’. This movie will give us the value of our family, so I want to recommend it to people having frustration for their family members.

<All-Time Favorite Movie>
-Departure (2008)
This movie theme is ‘about death’. Generally speaking, the image of dying is negative in order to make people sad.All people are naturally afraid to coming death. However, this movie regarded death as a final send-off to heaven. I think it is amazing to look at it from a different angle.

Week4: Audio- Blog4
By Masayuki Furushima
My favorite sound recording is ‘la la la’, which is sung by Shakira, Columbia singer. This song was used to World Cup 2014 in Brazil. The promotion video made with a concept to rouse not only Brazil, but other participated countries into the competition, so there were some soccer appeared on this PV. I often check many soccer leagues, so I think we had better to listen the song with this PV.

I cannot forget the oldie song, which is ‘I don’t want to miss a thing’, sung by Aerosmith. I knew this song when I watched the movie, ‘Armageddon’. This song also matches to the last scene of Armageddon. I was moved to tears at first time to watch movies when I was a elementary school student.

Weeks3: Books or Magazine- Blog3
By Masayuki Furushima
In this week, I would like to introduce my recommended three books.
1.Pep Confidential: The Inside Story of Pep Guardiola’s First Season at Bayern Munich
This book was the story about Pep Guardiola, a Spanish football directer. In this year,2013-2014, he headed the first season as Bayern Munich. He said his philosophy for possession soccer, and also how to communicate with his assistants and players. I have respected him since he took up the first team, Barcelona. I think readers can find new perspective about soccer, if they read in many times. You will be able to know his soccer world well.

2.The series of Harry Potter
I don’t usually read fantasy books, but this series is so funny that I read many times. There are many characters complexed at any kinds of situation. I can feel mysterious and expectation when reading.

As you know, Steve Jobs is one of the most famous and greatest innovator. He spent a more strange life I thought before reading. For example, at first he did not think that students in university did not need to take the general education, but later he suggested we go to university to learn some variety of subjects. Therefore, I can make a sense how to make my decision in my life.

Week 2: Business Aspect of Media- Blog2
By Masayuki Furushima
Today, we can share information with mass media. Media options have improved more useful to use, and the tendency of these options is that some companies own mass media literacy. In other words, these companies can make a huge profit. I think media consumers have more choices to get mass options because we are able to be conducted how to know the trend of mass society easier.
In recent society, smart phones are no longer indispensable for our lives due to get information wherever and whenever we are. Apple is one of the biggest company which owns media society. Apple Company invents new types of media tools. Apple Store or iTunes Store are like big library we can see any kinds of information. We can bring a lot of information, and share with other Apple devices.
The positive perspective owned media options by some companies is that we can be evolved our technological lives to shift the latest skills. If the competitive rate of media tools is intensive, we will be confused which companies can be trusted. Spending time more, we need to keep up with new media technology. After reading Chapter 3, I believe The New Players of big media will make new generation for technical society. With the same time, we as media consumers, and other organizations, like government, should pay attention to these companies’ concept.
Week 1: Media Autobiography
By Masayuki Fukushima
Today, there are a lot of ways we can express our ideas or opinion to people. Information has power to improve our social life better all the time. In the recent 20 years, technology has been extremely developed, which means that we can get information whenever and wherever we are. Actually, after I use social network service, mainly Facebook and Twitter, the opportunity to hear the latest news has increased, especially about European soccer which is my favorite topic. Almost all people use Internet for getting information or working. Internet media tools is the easiest way people can share opinions and assume the rate. As mentioned above, Internet is huge community place, so we can say something on and on. However, this place has a risk because we are not sure whether all information is true. In addition, each people have different ideas. So I have to be careful to report when I become a workingman as a journalist.
I need to read many kinds of books to become a journalist. Actually, Journalists should know wide knowledge. Reading books is the most important way I study because I think this way can make me cultivate my imaginative power more than getting from Internet or TV. Recently, I rely on Internet or TV due to my time, but I am conscious to reading book more.In the future, I would like to be a sport journalist, mainly reporting soccer business and marketing in my original perspective. So I prefer to transfer California State University, East Bay. Then if I transfer there, I follow Major League Soccer to be interested in by people in the world, with using social network. This is my my prospects for my future.
