[Group work] Reflection

We were working together because that was the assignment. However when it came to the drawing, we split the work to make it easier on us. We work really well together, there were no issues. His ideas were very solid and based in the texts. He helped me work out a few things I did not understand.

I was shocked to find Regan next to the Terminator on the 5th one-pager. I understand why, but still seems a bit odd. I think their question was: how did this effect the current government? or something to that effect. I think that the answer to this question is that I could only imagine how the people thought of the government after these movies that the ads are loosely based on. It was a terrifying time to most Americans.

I liked how the 6th one-pager showed different parts of the ad. I'm pretty sure their question was "What was Stein's view?" I think her view was that this ad changed the outlook of the computer race, but also changed the way Americans look at many other things like politics.

I think this still leaves me confused on why Stein wrote such great detail in an article on an ad from 1984. Does it really matter what this ad really meant? That's kind of like saying me analyzing the "What's up" Budweiser commercials from the late 1990's.

My CP: How does Stein use the history of Apple to support her thoughts on the impact of the ad.
