YouTube Videos

Today I looked at numerous YouTube videos. My goal was to try and find something controversial and interesting. With YouTube, there are so many videos to search so it was hard to find a place to start.

The first topic that I wanted to search was about my major, which is journalism. I figured since there is so much talk about how journalism is dead (or dying) that this would be good topic. I found a few videos that I may could have used, but they were all too long. I couldn't really find any videos that had a meaningful message, so I moved on the next topic.

My partners' major is math, so she wanted to search for something in that category. Specifically, she was interested in how girls and boys compare in math, and how there is a stereotype that boys are better than girls in math in grade school, as well as middle and high school. We found a few videos in this category as well, but nothing that would make for a good presentation.

Lastly we decided to search ads. Political ads normally have a lot of hidden and interesting meanings behind them. We found campaign ads that were all great. We searched videos about social networks as well, and found a good one about about Facebook. We choose this one because everybody is familiar with Facebook, and it's probably a clip that most people haven't seen.
