Final Project Reflection

For my final project, my partner and I decided to write about the hook up culture. Originally though, this was not the topic we wanted to work on. We had both taken a psychology class about interpersonal relationships and we were eager to discuss some of the things we had learned in class. In truth, we actually wanted to debunk many relationship myths out there. I shared my plan with the class, but they all said they would rather hear about something else. They actually did not want to know the truth about relationships! What they really wanted to know about was the hook- up culture and whether it was actually something new on college campuses. Seeing that it was relevant to our audience, we went for it!

I was very content with the outcome of our project. I enjoyed learning about the history of hooking up and what were the technologies that influenced dating scripts. Diane did an excellent job with the video, which I don't think I would have been able to do.

This project was definitely a learning experience- particularly for my personal growth. I learned many things about myself that I will be able to apply in future group projects. I learned that I was a control- freak and that it is definitely something I need to work on. I also learned that I get stressed really easily. In essence, I learned that I need to let things go... and that sometimes I just need to take a chill pill. I am very content with the final product and I hope you find learning about the history of hooking up as much as I did.

Eric Pinashin: Comm 204 Final Project Reflection with Link

Good morning Everybody!

Well, it looks like this will probably be my final blog posting of my undergraduate career at USC, and I'm glad that the topic is going to be on how I collaborated with David on creating our informational video on sunbathing.

The week before we were supposed to introduce our topics to the class, I was lost on how I was going to create and edit a video all by myself, and how would I get good footage with just my Android videocamera?! At that moment, David approached me in class and asked me if I would want to join his group, and I gladly accepted. I first thought that the biggest impediment would be that since I don't live on campus, arranging a time to meet would be a pain, but we crunched out the project in a timely manner, and it was done accordingly to when I was already on campus, so no commuting issues arose from that :).

When David introduced me to his idea of sunbathing, I thought this was a bit of a funny idea at first, but then after David it explained it to me, it sunk in. But I was still stuck with what I was going to talk about in sunbathing, since I am not an aficionado as others maybe. I then pitched the idea of discussing the negative health implications of sunbathing, and David said it was a great idea. So far, we are 2/2 for avoiding negative consequences :).

The greatest part about working with David, asides from the fact that he's been a really chill guy all semester, was that he was a master in video editing. We split the work accordingly in terms of recording and choosing images, but David was the one who put in the most work for video editing and making sure that all of our cuts looked flawless and transitioned smoothly. If I didn't have David as my partner, this would've been one hell of a project that I would have had to work on. Since our topic was more or less straightforward, we did not have any particular challenges, well, maybe David did when he showed me how to use Final Cut Pro (Video Editing Software), but I found this to be an educational experience. This is perhaps, the smoothest and easiest group project that I have ever worked on. It was as if we were completing each other's sentences in regards to this project. There was no bickering, no flaking, no arguments, nothing, everything went smoothly, and I can't thank David enough for him bringing me onboard his team.

Here is the link to David and I's project, which I hope all of you will enjoy, especially since summer is coming up :D

And I wanted to give one more big thank you to Cynthia for being such an awesome professor this semester. I can whole heartedly say that this was my favorite class during the semester, and even though I am a Biological Sciences major, I learned a whole lot of critical information, which will propel me in my aspiring career of business and Biology. It was a pleasure taking your class Cynthia, and I hope that you will enjoy your summer.

Thank you everyone for making this a fun and exciting semester. I hope everybody enjoys their summer, and remember, don't forget the sunscreen! :)

Final Project Reflection_Sleep

For this last assignment, coming up with a topic was pretty difficult. It took a while before Emma and I came up with some possible topics. In terms of coming up with an outline for our video, it worked best when we met up and worked on it together instead of working on it on our own. It was more efficient and we could run different ideas across each other and change our outline if we wanted. Another advantage of working with a partner was that we could come up with ideas that the other might not have thought of. Working together also made this process more fun, since we had someone to share it with (you struggle together or have fun together). We came up with the general outline together and then split up the work to expand on each topic, which facilitated the process. As for the video, we originally wanted to use Moovly or some other site, but after trying it out, decided it was best to just film ourselves and to add some effects. Emma had some editing experience so she was able to put the video together after we discussed what kind of effects we wanted in the video (I personally think the owl that pops up is pretty funny). Overall, allowing us to work in groups was a good experience. We will need to work in groups or teams in the future and this enables us to get some practice for the real world! Again, thanks for a great semester, Cynthia!

KarpasD Project Final: Sunbathing

Making the video with Eric was a tremendous experience. Because we were in the middle of studying for other finals we buckled down and got to work. The team worked well. I handled the cultural side of suntanning, while he covered all the scientific aspects. Making a speech in a full video format was an interesting experience. I got to work with my wheelhouse, so I felt much more comfortable doing this than making a speech. That is not to say that I have enjoyed making speeches. My skills in public speaking have strengthened a lot, and I owe this class to that. But, it was a cool experience to finish off the semester doing something that I plan on doing with my life. I also got to learn a lot more about sunbathing than I thought I would. I owe much of that to Eric’s research and Brooke’s comment about Coco Chanel. Eric made SPF something I could understand. I just assumed the higher the better, but he showed that there is an actual scientific side of making SPF. More than this, that story about Coco Chanel has been supported on many different Internet sources. That blew me away. I am in a fashion class and we are talking about how magazines like Vogue are the arbiters of fashion. The story about Chanel becoming the authority of tanning makes perfect sense now. Overall, this was a great way to finish everything up. I enjoyed it very much, and I wish more classes would do projects with partners or teams. Doing things in pairs or groups is the future, so why not incorporate that into academia? Great job, Eric!

Final Project with my home girl (w/ project link)

For the final project I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Brooke Fry! It involved a lot of late nights at Delta Gamma as well as a full day on 28th street capturing footage. Brooke's sophomore knowledge of the row made the process of  interviewing individuals much easier.  Brooke knew everyone, and everyone was glad to help out! Brooke provided almost all the research on the project. Her experience on the row certainly lent its hand to statistics, as well as general knowledge of Greek student body leaders. In addition, the fact that everyone made themselves so readily available to help fellow Greek members demonstrated to me yet another aspect or perk of the row. Even though I was not in the same house as another individual, they still were there. Through take after take, with little to no frustration. This immense amount of respect and patience for fellow greek affiliates showed me that the Greek system is a team. We all want to help one another out and at the end of the day it doesn't matter if we wear different letters on our chests.
My main job on the project was editing the video. For the opening and closing I wanted to juxtapose the recent news reports and other infamous moments of Greek Life with our own Greek members. This antithesis between the two was intended to bring our speech full circle. In addition, my job was to break down our long dialogue into 3 specific sections: academic support, social support, and character development. This proved to be the most difficult challenge, because it was arduous to order the clips in a way that made coherent sense to the viewer.
Overall, I thought the project was not only soooooo fun to shoot and edit, but really provided some solid reasons as to why Greek Life is a positive thing on college campuses.

Technologies that have Changed the Way We Date --by: Isabella and Diane

Hey Everyone!!

Check out our final project for COMM 204! :D 

As we thought about topics for our project, many of our peers suggested that we talk about hooking up. Many of them had been told that it was nothing new on college campuses and that they were interested in knowing more. The truth is, they were right! Hooking up is nothing new! It has actually been the norm on college campuses since the 60’s. 

For our project, we decided to investigate more as to how hooking up started and how the dating scripts have changed over the years. We discovered that there are three technologies that have changed the way we date. Learn more about how the car, the birth control pill and the internet have shaped our romantic lives. We hope you enjoy!

Lane Bryant vs. Victoria’s Secret: How Two Campaigns Resulted in Very Different Reactions



The Power of Media

In the last decade, messages have been spreading more rapidly than ever through one of the biggest outlets of our generation: social media. Sharing thoughts and images on networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram has allowed the public to have a voice and start powerful movements. It has also become a means to challenge issues in society that have otherwise been ignored. As a result, many people have taken to social media to express their concerns about the representation of body image and how we should think about women’s’ bodies. You may have noticed when Lane Bryant made headlines for their #ImNoAngel campaign, which not-so-subtly challenged another campaign by leading lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret. In this post, I will talk about the Victoria’s Secret campaign that landed them in hot water, Lane Bryant’s indirect attack on this campaign, and how the public responded to #ImNoAngel.   

Victoria's Secret's 'Sexy'

Victoria’s Secret is probably one of the world’s most well-known lingerie brands, and subsequently it has millions and millions of followers. Women of all sizes are exposed to the images of models clad in lingerie as they pass by the Victoria’s Secret stores, flip through magazine ads, or watch television commercials. With all of these models plastered everywhere in the media, there lies one huge problem. All of these models look almost exactly the same (body wise). Such advertisements are exclusive of women of all shapes and sizes, and everyone knows that Victoria’s Secret is supposed to encompass what is ‘sexy.’ After all, that’s what their brand is all about. So, what makes a size 2 or size 4 model the definition of ‘sexy’ and what about women who are size 6 and beyond?

When it comes to the public’s view of the Victoria’s Secret image, many people have taken to social media to express their opinions. In a study conducted by Joan Chrisler, Twitter users’ reactions to the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show were measured based on the social comparison theory of body satisfaction. The study discovered that the fashion show spurred a wide range of reactions. Some users called for more body positivity, a number of users degraded themselves after seeing the likeness of the models, and others bashed the models for their smaller figures (Chrisler, 2013).  Looking at the way in which Twitter users reacted, one would think that Victoria’s Secret would be more welcoming of all body types on the runway and in catalog spreads. But seeing as the models continue to look the same and the brand released an extremely controversial campaign in 2014, not much as changed.

"The Perfect 'Body'"

In October 2014, Victoria’s Secret announced their latest bra campaign with the tagline “The Perfect ‘Body,’” which they intended to be a play on their popular ‘Body’ line of bras. Take a look at their chosen photo for the campaign. What do you notice?
(Neon Tommy)

Yes, a lineup of slim models associated with the words ‘perfect body.’ Despite Victoria’s Secret’s attempt to attract attention to their line of bras, all of the attention was only on the models (Ciambriello, 2014). Since we are living in the digital age, this did not stop people from reacting on social media. Portraying an unrealistic body image in the media has become a hot topic in recent years, so people will keep talking until their voices are heard. Judging by the success of a petition on Change.org, their voices were definitely heard. In a U.K. petition, 33,001 supporters asked Victoria’s Secret to “Apologise for, and amend the irresponsible marketing of your new bra range 'Body.'” Although Victoria’s Secret did not issue a direct apology, they quietly changed the ad to read “A Body for Every Body.” It looks like they may have gotten the message?

(ABC News)


Is Victoria's Secret's 'Sexy' Different from Lane Bryant's?

Regardless of the turnout of the Victoria’s Secret situation, the brand has always been allowed to publicize their campaigns through various forms of media. Yes, they are criticized for their unrealistic representations of body image, but they still prevail and continue with the same models and sexy campaigns. If Victoria’s Secret can flaunt their bodies on television, shouldn’t other brands be allowed to as well? In April 2010, Lane Bryant released a memorandum from ABC, which confirmed that the network rejected their Cacique ad from a number of programs including Dancing With the Stars. A spokesperson for Lane Bryant explained that the brand was not treated the same as brands who were advertising the same product. Victoria’s Secret ads were played during Dancing With the Stars before the Lane Bryant ads were rejected, so there is no reason for Lane Bryant to be denied (Lane Bryant, 2010). The only difference between these ads was the size of the models on screen, so ABC definitely had some explaining to do. They eventually played the Lane Bryant commercial in the last bit of the show, but there definitely should not have been any back-and-forth in the first place.

If Lane Bryant had to fight for their ad to be broadcast on television, what does that say about Victoria’s Secret campaigns? That Victoria’s Secret ‘sexy’ is more acceptable than Lane Bryant’s ‘sexy?’ Even though Victoria’s Secret came under fire for a few of their campaigns, the lack of diversity when it comes to the models’ bodies remains. In April 2015, Lane Bryant took a jab at the Victoria’s Secret brand when they released their #ImNoAngel campaign. In the Youtube video below, famous ‘plus-size’ model Ashley Graham stands alongside other fuller figured models as they redefine ‘sexy’ and emphasize they are not all the same. As the ad comes to a close, the models say “I’m no angel” in unison to illustrate that Victoria’s Secret models are not the only ones who define ‘sexy.’


#ImNoAngel

#ImNoAngel garnered much attention all over Twitter, and users felt that they could relate to these models better than Victoria’s Secret models. As the ad illustrates, sexiness is not limited to a specific body type. In the same fashion as Victoria’s Secret ads, #ImNoAngel can be found on your television screens, magazine spreads, billboards, and even public transportation. Consumers can now find t-shirts with the tagline on Lane Bryant’s website. When women see these examples of body positivity, they feel more confident in their skin and celebrate their size by posting pictures of themselves along with the hashtag. 

Now, with all of the support that #ImNoAngel received, there are still critics who believe that the Lane Bryant campaign is practicing exclusivity much like Victoria’s Secret. On the website xoJane, a woman named Amanda Richards published a piece that explained her take on the Lane Bryan campaign. She states, “I don't think it's particularly healthy or progressive to pit fat bodies against thin bodies.” Richards acknowledges that Lane Bryant is trying to show that women with fuller figures are just as sexy as women with slimmer figures, but she feels as if the campaign is also attacking the thinner models by saying that being a Victoria’s Secret ‘Angel’ is a bad thing. She also illustrates that the models in the ImNoAngel campaign are not necessarily representative of all ‘plus-size’ models. Even though Lane Bryant’s products are made for a wide range of plus-sizes, most of the models in the campaign appear to be a size 12 or 14. As Richards would argue, there is not very much diversity after all. As a way to show her vision of diversity, Richards posted a few photos of her own.

(Amanda Richards via xoJane)


Whether or not bashing thinner models was Lane Bryant’s intent, people have taken to social media to decide for themselves. It seems as though the majority of people are embracing the campaign as a chance to show how women of all sizes are beautiful, contrary to the ideas perpetuated through ads from brands such as Victoria’s Secret. Personally, I love to see that women with fuller figures are receiving more attention and reshaping how the public views ‘sexy.’ At the end of the day, all women (thinner or curvier) are beautiful in their own way.

What is Cryotherapy?

Cameron Smith
Comm 204
Final assignment
    What Is Cryotherapy?
    Have any of you sat in an ice bath after being significantly sore because of a sporting event or work out? Ice water immersion is a process that many athletes have used to speed up recovery of muscle pain or soreness. The particular degree of the water is roughly 55 degrees and the athletes will stay in the cold water for about 10-15 minutes (Lateef, 2010). Fatimah Lateef states that “the ice bath will cause constriction of blood vessels. This has been suggested as a mechanism that helps with the flushing of waste products, such as lactic acid, out of the affected tissue”(Lateef, 2010). Lactic acid is the body fluid that creates soreness and getting rid of the lactic acid is what will help the body become less sore. All athletes want to be able to come back and produce day after day so it is important for them to be fresh and not have any soreness to slow them down. As the athletes are evolving they are always looking for the new and quicker method of getting back to their full potential. A new method was created in 1978 by Dr. Yamaguchi is known as “Whole Body Cryotherapy” or “Air Cryotherapy” (Whole Body Cryotherapy). This started as he used freezing treatments of short durations for his patients arthritis and he noticed that he was able to significantly “reduce the soreness and pain in his patient’s joints where they felt pain” (Whole Body Cryotherapy). This created a new source of treatment and recovery for athletes with pain or soreness.
    Cryotherapy is a method that includes freezing cold air around the surface of the body that essentially does what ice baths do, but quicker than water does. There are two rooms that you walk into during the Cryotherapy method. The first room you walk into is to start you off with the freezing cold air. The first room is set at -76 degrees Fahrenheit and the second room is set at -166 degrees Fahrenheit.
cryo_4person_chamber.png
“Cryotherapy Technology Chamber.” (2015). USCryotherapy. Retrieved from
Due to the fact that the air is so cold a person is asked to take their shirt off, or a female is to wear a sports bra. Then they are forced to wear socks, slippers, oven mittens, a beanie, and a doctor’s face cover so you don’t breath the air straight into your nose. When I first tried the process of Cryotherapy I was a little worried that stepping into a room that was as cold as that would freak me out and I would start to feel closterfobic because of how thick the frosty cold air is. It is very difficult to see in the room so if you are a person that has a problem when you can’t see everything around you then this is not the recovery method for you. One thing I noticed when in the second chamber was that it was very hard to breathe as I felt the very dry air in my nostrils and a pretty uncomfortable feeling in my lungs because of the air. However, other than that I don’t think it’s much of an issue. The room is big enough for up to four people total and each person stays in the room for up to 3 minutes. “Your skin temperature will decrease more than 30°F over 3 minutes (or less) inside the chamber; however, your core temperature will only lower slightly” (US Cryotherapy).
    As the idea of Cryotherapy becomes more popular and heard around the world more and more athletes are trying this method for themselves. “A growing number of elite soccer players, rugby teams, professional cyclists, track and field athletes, and basketball players in the United States and Europe have eagerly turned to whole-body Cryotherapy” (Freezing Athletes to Speed Recovery, 2011). According to a group of French researchers put a group of runners through a 48 minute trail run on a treadmill. After the run, half of the runners entered a whole-body cryotherapy chamber once a day for five days, while the other half sat quietly for 30 minutes a day for those five days. The blood of these runners was drawn and the runners who entered the chamber showed fewer blood markers of inflammation than the group who did not (Freezing Athletes to Speed Recovery, 2011). These results suggest that athletes could potentially save two to three days of training time compared with forgoing whole-body cryotherapy (Freezing Athletes to Speed Recovery, 2011). This new method of recovery is not for everyone because of the different surrounding area and the uncomfortable environment for some people but this method is definitely productive and can help the recovery process speed up very quickly.
    There are still a lot of people who don’t believe in the Cryotherapy recovery method. A study shown by Mr. Costello, published early in 2011 found that “whole-body Cryotherapy did not lessen muscle damage among a group of volunteers who’d completed grueling resistance exercises with their legs before entering the chamber” (Freezing Athletes to Speed Recovery, 2011). There are always going to be people against a new technology or a new find. Some people may not like it for themselves and some might think that it just didn’t work for them for one of the times they did it. Donnelly, a professor at the University of Limerick is also unconvinced. With a study of his own he points out that the muscles are not recovered after the process and that the athletes’ muscles were less inflamed but were still weak and damaged (Freezing Athletes to Speed Recovery, 2011). Mike Moynihan recalls his experience saying that “the cold air floods your brain and you can’t process much more than putting one foot in front of another” (Holt, 2015). Some people don’t enjoy the freezing cold methods.
    Back in my hometown, Roseville CA. My friends and I have a Cryotherapy chamber right in the middle of our community and we were exposed to it a couple of years ago. All of the players on our football team have memberships to Cryotherapy and we use the chamber almost every time we have a tough practice or long game. All of us believe that it helps our soreness or any injuries that we had. It is a very quick and easy process. It takes no longer than 15 minutes to get done and it helps tremendously. It is also a great place to bring your family members or friends that have never done it before because it is a very exciting activity that everyone should really get a chance to experience. One thing that I like more about Cryotherapy than ice baths is that Cryotherapy doesn’t have the excruciating coldness like when you step into a cold tub. If I am about to step into a cold tub I feel so much more fear of the cold than if I am about to walk into a Cryotherapy chamber. The process can be for some people and just not be for other people. Just like any other activity some people may like it and some people may not, but from my experiences and my findings I believe that it works and I enjoy it much more than taking an ice bath.

(Sarriesrugbytv, 2013)
Why Cryotherapy is Better Than the Ice Bath
    The Ice bath has been found to affect the body in a completely different way than the Cryotherapy Chamber. Professional athletes have been using the ice bath for rehabilitation for as long as people can remember. In the article “Whole Body Cryotherapy The Three Levels of Influence” it states “during the 15-20 minutes of ice bathing, tissue freezes quite deep and frozen muscles temporarily lose capacity and needs time to return to normal”. After taking an ice bath the body needs rest, it doesn’t matter what time you took the ice bath the athlete cannot come back to the activity or practice no earlier than the next day (Whole Body Cryotherapy). “In the Cryotherapy process the freezing cold does not freeze muscle tissue it only creates a powerful illusion that that the body freezes, so only after 5-10 minutes an athlete can go back to the activity or to perform” (Whole Body Cryotherapy). This is very important for all athletes because each athlete's main interest when in recovery is to be back as fast as possible and perform in whatever sport or activity they are playing. There is a distinct difference for me after I get out of a cold tub or ice bath and after I get out of a Cryotherapy chamber. The first step out of an ice bath is like a baby deer taking its first step. You can’t feel your legs at all because of how numb they are and it takes a solid couple of hours to have your legs feel normal. The muscles are still way too tight to do anything athletic without tearing every muscle. After you get out of the Cryotherapy chamber the first thing you do is get on a stationary bike and warm your legs right back up. This is a perfect example of showing how fast a person’s muscles can recover after they come out of a chamber. Also, “While in the ice bath, oxygen supply to the skin surface is interrupted, and it causes skin surface injury that can promote skin disease if the procedure is often repeated” (Whole Body Cryotherapy). Although the ice bath recovery method can be very beneficial it can also bring some negative effects to the body especially for an athlete who needs their body to be in tip top shape at all times.
    They are many differences between ice bathing and Cryotherapy. I have done both and I do prefer the Cryotherapy chamber method because it fits my style and need more than ice baths do. The recovery process is different for every individual so everyone could prefer different methods. One person might enjoy ice baths, one might prefer Cryotherapy, and one might prefer not to do either and let their body get rid of the soreness by itself. Each person should try every method to figure out what they like most to help them get through the pain and soreness that they feel.
