Ways of seeing John Berger (1)

"In the cities in which we live, all of us see hundreds of publicity images every day of our lives". (John Berger) This quote most definitely relates to the project my group and I have put together. The reason being that it focuses on the idea that advertisements on social media, television and music videos enforce us to think in a certain way. We based our project on the theme of advertising causing us to believe we should not only think in a certain way but live in a certain way. As it appears on the media that if you don't go to school, go to university and get a well paid job you are a minority. Although this isn't true people still feel obliged to go by these tasks in life and the quote that was mentioned before conveys that images bombard our lifestyle and cause us to believe that if you don't complete all of these things in life you won't be accepted. Which is why we wanted to make a project out of this using sweets to mock this ideology.
