Comment on Megan's Weblog!!

After viewing Megan's weblog so far, it is clear to me that Megan has thought about what needs to go into her posts. She has also displayed each post very clearly and in a way that relates to the point she is making i.e. pictures and website links. And has the basis for a successfull weblog if she keeps the good work up!

Stalking

After watching; Peep show, 2005, Productions. During a lecture, we were asked to answer the following questions. When does a concerned interest in someones activities became stalking and are some kinds of observance allowable and appropriate.

Thinking about these questions, I personally feel that being concerned in someones interest cannot be classed as stalking. However when the person who is interested in another person and starts to copy them and follow them that it when I would class it as stalking.

Observance is allowed for research or other kinds of observation however I feel that when observation gets out of hand like constantly and for no real good reason then I would class that as stalking.

Prostitution

After watching; Breakfast at Tiffanys, 1961, Paramount. Our lecture decided to ask us a few questions on the subject of prostitution.


These questions were; is it prostitution to take money from somone who is expecting sex, but then not to supply it ? And If it isn't prostitution then is it more socially respectable?

After thinking about these questions, to take money from someone who is expecting sex but rhen not to suply it isn't prostitution. I would say it is more likely to be known as a 'golddigger' or a 'tease'. My thoughts to the second part of the question are no this isnt more socially respectable than prostitution as it is still degrading.

Shoplifting

After watching a clip from 'breaking out is hard to do', Family Guy, 2005, Fox.

Our lecturer gave us some questions which were; is shoplifting any different to any other king of theft and why do people who can afford to buy, shoplift anyway?

My response is, no it isn't any different as it is still a form of theft. It may not be instant but it will be noticed in due course. One way it is different is it may not physically harm others unlike aggravated burglary or muggings.

Comment on Anneka's Weblog!!

Anneka has thought throughly about what needs to be published from each lecture. She has used relevent images and links which correlate to the post being issued. If she carries on like this, she will create an excellent blog which students studying the subject can relate to very well and use to assist them in there posts.

Smoking Countinued

Smokers can be defined in four ways. First there is the regular smoker, occasional smoker, the 'I used to smoke', the 'I have never smoked' and as someone in the seminar shouted the passive smoker!

Did you know that per annum smokers pay a massive £19,000 to the exchequer, this is equivalent to the price of the whole police force. Or as Jeremy Clarkson says in the Sunday Times, every pound we cost the NHS, smokers give £3.60 to it.

There are many films that we discussed in our lecture that involve the use of cigarettes some listed were; pulp fiction, grease, constantine, trainspotting, die hard and basic instinct.

We also discussed a couple of organisations that are related to smoking these were; ASH - action on smoking and health and FOREST - freedom for the right to enjoy smoking tobacco.

We then went on to discuss how smoking in Hollywood was used as a metaphor for seduction.
