Baywatch: Beaches ain’t ready for this

1. Why does this thing look the way it does?
This image focuses on a masculine man centered in front of a view of the ocean beach holding a lifeguard floating device. The man on the image is a well-known actor by the name of Dwayne Johnson. Dwayne Johnson is reputably known for his masculine body and his good looks. The movie Baywatch has been a classic beach themed show from the 90’s. In my opinion, the reason why this image appears the it does is to attract an audience. In this case it is to attract audiences who are fans of Dwayne Johnson, as well as fans of the original series Baywatch. The image portrays a sunny day at the beach and blue waters.

    In Roxane Gay’s article “Why the Beach Is a Bummer” she explains her outlook on the beach and why it’s a place of discomfort rather than fun. “This is an ideal beach of hot sun, warm sand, crystal-clear water that leaves your skin salted.

As much as I do love the beach and enjoy laying in the sun I agree with Gay’s perspective of the beach to an extent.…

Jersey Shore is affecting our culture in a negative way because the majority of people that watched it might have thought differently about Italians and think that’s all that they do. At one point, Jersey Shore became one of the most watched TV shows and I think it influenced some slang we use today. MTV is famous for making popular TV shows and sucking people in to watching them.
