Brinks, security or not?

I ran across an ad the other day about Brink’s Home Security. I thought this sounded like a great idea, so I decided to check it out. I got on the website to sign up for this security system, and it started asking me for all of my information. i thought to myself, "brinks says they provide safe and secure security, but how secure is it really when they are asking me for all of my information?" i never thought that something like Brinks would use these crazy tactics to get people to use their product. They are always advertising that they are extremely safe and that there has been very much work put into it. But one of the questions that i want to know the answer to is how is brinks secure when they know everyone’s information who signs up for their security system. They reel people in by using commercials of incidents of robberies and break-ins. they look real and it looks like the security system would work well, but i don’t think that giving out all of my information is a safe and secure way just to have home security. I think that their ads and commercials provide great evidence that they are a safe security system, but I do not agree completely when they want me to give them everything that they ask for. After I submit that information, it is saved to them forever. They will always know where I live, what age I am, what kind of house I have. Everything they need to know to potentially rob a house or break into a house I am giving them just to get security. Their website is very contradicting.

Disney Video

I chose to write my blog this week about the Disney video we watched. I believe that this taught me and everyone else in the class a great lesson about copyright. I think using Disney films made us interested not only in the video itself but the message it was putting forth about copyright. I think that copyright is a very important subject, and the person who made that Disney video used copyright in the right way. Doing that also helped us to understand the message he was trying to get across to us. I think that the way he used all the Disney characters the way he did was a very unique and useful way of getting a message across.  All of the clips were from different Disney clips, and they weren’t but like 5 second clips. This meant we really had to pay attention to what each character was saying in what scene and put it all together in the end to come across the actual message. This video really taught me a valuable lesson about copyright, and it also used some of my favorite things in the world, Disney cartoons. Using the cartoons and clips from different Disney movies can really speak out to many different audiences. I am a college student, and I still love cartoons. Other people, such as freshmen in high school, or even as young as fifth graders, could relate to this message and understand this message. They would get enjoyment out of this video as well as a very valuable lesson that can be used for the rest of their lives. I personally loved this video.
