ABOUT THE TV..CHECK THIS OUT..

I was watching this show last night called "UNDERCOVER BOSS" on CBS and I was enlightened about how inspirational it was. They take bosses of big corporations and they go undercover and become entry level workers for a week and they go to sites in different areas. The episode yesterday was about the COO of Waste Management and he was able to meet the very people that keep his business going and how people are affected by the different protocols that he has put into place and he also got to see the things that managers did that he was not awhere of. Through doing this he was able to see how hard the job was and one of the jobs he was let go (fired) by one of the guys because he just didnt "cut it" and this guy who did the job had been dealing with dialasis for 19 years and he could do more than him. But anywho to make a long story short he was inspired by all the people that he worked with and he was able to change things, he promoted people, he also gave the man dealing with dialasis time off to talk to people and he also became a mentor for those dealing with health issues in the company, he created a position for one of the guys to come and tal to people about making this hard "nasty" job fun and exciting. It really made me see that the tv isn't so bad but at the same time we still have a ways to go but this really made me smile and I wanted to share it with you guys..thank you.I hope it enlightens you too..

ABOUT THE ADS!

IT was very interesting actually taking time to look at the different ads that we encounter on a daily basis. It made me see how we as a society don't even focus on the things that we see because there is so many differnt shocks and jolts that we experience, and us taking time out to focus on the things that we see we just over look them.
After watching the video and looking through the magazine ads and the food ads..lol..we see that we have so much work to do. Though it is obvious that we exploit females, we do it collectivley women just are effected more by it. I'm glad that this was brought to my attention because ever since I have been telling my peers and showing them ads. So it has definitley enlightened me and my peers as well. I guess this just shows us that we have a lot of work to do in making society aware of the things that we do to one another..
