Very nice. sort of funny how this is black and white where as multi-media conditioning is almost always in color

your point is valid. That is what I feel makes it more striking. I was going back to German Expressionism before the rise of that Nazis (because there are no obvious paralells with the United States of Today). I feel the harsh contrast evokes an emotional response, or at least that was my attempt.

I does evoke an emotional response. Might i suggest that the left side be darker I think it would high light the people and also show that we come from darkness or at least a lack of multi-media conditioning. This may not work because darkness can also mean evil and saying that we come from evil and then are made in to human beings by muli-media conditioning is not really the point.

thank you. I tried to limit the words for what I was attempting to express. I feel in the modern era it is a concept that people can relate with. Really based off Brave New World and the essay of Brave New World Revisted. Huxley said that The songs in commercials were not to appeal to the age demographic of those the product was designed for, but to make something that was catchy and would stick in a child's head thus perpetuating their product into the futre. Sorry about the rant, but there is something to that idea.

I didn't really need to have a lot of words to understand this. It's really quite sad how that's happening and how children are being raised on television now. And don't worry about the rant. I got to learn something new (about the guy Huxley).

Brave New World and Brave New World Revisted. Also Orwell, 1984. Those guys were on to something. Both Brave New World and 1984 have been banned in many schools around the country, Brave New World for drug use (soma) and 1984 for its sexual relationship between Winston and Julia. That is what they say at least. Sometimes you wonder the motives of really keeping books out of schools.

I think at the school I went to last year the grade 12s had to read 1984. I've been meaning to read that.

They just find any excuse for taking something out of schools that'll make the children think and question.
