UGC

I chose this video "Don't Fit in if you want to stand out." The name pretty much sums up the main idea of the video. Though it may not be as entertaining and funny as the videos my classmates posted, it is very motivational and in my opinion, just plain true and relatable,we try to hard to fit in when we are born to stand out. Which I think makes the video VERY effective. I honestly don't even think that this video would be produced by "traditional" media, because it goes against the norm, it promotes uniqueness, which I think is completely contrary to what media promotes. All I see in in the media being promoted are things like style, and technology, just to name two. All I hear is a silent voice that that screams, "THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE WEARING, THIS IS WHAT IS "IN-STYLE," YOU NEED TO BE BUYING AND WEARING THESE ARTICLES OF CLOTHING, OR YOU WILL BE CATEGORIZED AS DIFFERENT!" "IF YOU DONT BUY THIS NEW GADGET YOU WILL BE LOST IN THE WORLD!" Even television shows do it subliminally, you see a character you love, you love their style, or personality. This is enough to make you want to conform to how they are or how they look, i'll admit, I do it to an extent. That is the kind of world we live in, a big world of conformity where uniqueness is yearned for.
