Norms Student Video Examples

Example#1: So...What are your rituals? by Christina B, Amanda I, Kevin T
The first video example was about different cultures and the different rituals they have. For example, in Jewish cultures they have the Bah-Mitzvah and so forth. This video explained each of the rituals and that even though they don't seem important to many they actually hold a great importance in their cultures.
Example#2: Television: then & now by Amber D, Travis G, Hayley H
The second video example is about a compare and contrast between today's TV shows and the past TV shows. How different they have become over the years and how they have lost a lot of value. For us who are older and remember all the old shows we don't seem to show an interest in the popular "Hannah Montana" when its compared to "Saved by the Bell."
Example#3: Skin by Amber D
Skin is a video by Amanda Dupre and she basically talked about herself and how different her view is on the world. Her norms and how they differ from society. For example, the first she had ever heard and was stereotyped against the term; white-washed. Herself and the stereotypes she has come up against growing up.
Example#4: Transcending Stereotypes by Kevin T
The last video example was based on stereotypes that people make on the narrator, Kevin. He is asian so automatically people stereotype him as being a smart and an A+ student. However he states that he is far from that. Stereotypes are all labels and fake. We get a glimpse into his non-stereotypical world and what its like.

Mr.Debt by Errol Moriss' First Person

The following video was about the narrator sharing his experience for his job. He is a lawyer for his job and explains that he represents people who go into debt. He is highly against credit card companies and explains how it is a trap for them to take your money and put you into debt. For example you get a credit card, go into debt, yet they send you a notice that you qualify for the 'platinum' card. It's ironic and described in this dark humor for all viewers to understand.

Frontline: Growing up Online

The following video discussed today's generation of kids and how important the internet is to this generation. Social network cites help you connect and get any information possible from anywhere and anybody. The video stressed the way internet makes it easier for teenagers to self-disclose information about themselves rather than in person, and on the internet they can be whoever they want to be. From sexual predators to eating disorders and all the way to cyber bullying, this video segment goes over it all. A glimpse into the lives of teenagers and their world in the web.

Kids and Money by Lauren Greenfield

The following video by Lauren Greenfield was based on a group of different kids and what money means to each of them. Some were very well off, spoiled girls with an attitude. And others were middle class families with kids who had to work for what they got, and the importance of what money meant when they had it. Money can make the world go around, you just have to have it.
