I like this remix because it appeals to society and what a lot of people are dealing with now when it cmes to ping rent. I always see on television how people have to protest to stop rent increases on their rent stablized apartments. More importantly, people have to put food on their table and take care of their children. People can relate to this video and know that even though it may seem a little funny the implications behind it are real and something that affects people all over, especailly in New York City.

I like this remix because it is a remake of Beyonce's Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) video and song. When people watch it, especailly women they think about the state of the relationship they are in. I feel that it makes them consider getting married and having a ring to make things offical. This is something that I think a lot of people in society can relate to. I feel that marriage is important and I would love to have my princess cut diamond ring in platnium or white gold on my finger.
NVT,
ReplyDeleteI think there is definitely a cultural and a social component being conveyed in the remix of Beyonce's Put a Ring on It. It is reinforcing or supporting the accepted definition of courtship, engagement and marriage. I suppose this is fine, acceptable or "warm and fuzzy" if one is allowed (or believes) in courtship, engagement and marriage. But what if one is not allowed to marry? (As is the case with gays and lesbians in many of our states.) Or, what if you are a woman (or a man) who doesn't believe in the institution of marriage? I definitely agree with you that many people in our society can probably relate to this remix.
My concern with a remix such as this is that it is a cartoon. A remix such as this is directed at children, primarily girls, so this is trying to convey to girls that this is accepted or expected behavior/action: "if someone likes you, they will put a ring on it..."
Very dangerous if you ask me.
The rent IS too damn high!
