The Sunday Night Project

Before I completed this assignment, I never noticed the amount of unintentional media I encountered every day. After observing the large amount of media I use each day, I am now wondering how many times unintentional media has influenced me. For example, I know I have bought products that were advertised on the side of a YouTube video that I was watching. Furthermore, I noticed that I frequently see the same item being advertised, and I wonder if companies do this on purpose to familiarize…

it was my parents had to make sacrifices to the family life to help keep us financially stable. When I was younger I hadn’t been able to see my dad that much because he would work had owned a store from 7 am-10 pm everyday except Sunday and my mother had worked solely night shifts. This had left me and my brothers mainly growing up in the hands of baby sitter. She would pick us up from school and we would wait at her house until my father had left work. My parents had realised that this wasn’t…

Overall Reflection Finally, it is time to take a breath and think big picture. Completing the capstone project was exciting yet very challenging. The exciting part of DAT650 and DAT690 is the ability to connect the dots, to piece together everything that is learned throughout this Data Analytics Program.

This dream starts off by me imagining myself waking up on a Sunday morning back at home where I can hear my parents doing dishes and getting ready for church. This dream is more auditory than visual but it makes me feel safe and like a child again. Bulkeley 2013 says that thirty- seven percent of people dream of…

BP Oil Spill When presented with this project during class, my group and I knew it would be a challenge, but knew with the right topic we could easily overcome the challenge. We thought long and hard about what topic we wanted to research. It had to be something that was interesting, impactful and well known. We thought of controversial topics, headliner news stories, and topics with familiarity. In the end, we chose to use British Petroleum’s (BP) Oil Spill in the Gulf Coast during 2010. The…

Looking back a week later, the Young Democrats High School Leadership Academy was nowhere near what I imagined. And I mean that in a good way. I had an idea going into the conference of what I expected out of it: marketing, social media branding, touring, and networking. And yet, in hindsight, YDA HSLA was all of that, but immensely more. My father dragged me up at the wee hours of dawn on Thursday the 4th, catching an 8 o’clock flight at Midway. By the time I landed at Ronald Reagan at 9:30, I…

asked if there were gender issues in the community, she took the lead answering the question. Linette told me that she never felt like she was not equal when participating in the community (2017). Then continued to describe one of her songs “Boys Night Out”. When her husband, Ren, (the guitarist in the band) was getting ready to go out with some of his guy friends, Linette told him she was going to go out with them too. She then told me that she was just like one of the guys, treated equally…

She and her family were very involved in the Lutheran church. If it wasn’t making it to church every Sunday, it was volunteering at church during the week for different events. She met RM when she was 17 years old and found herself seeing…
