I feel like youtube is the most diverse social media app in the world because unlike other apps like instagram and snapchat that always feed off specific trends and controlled by one whole community, youtube is controlled by hundreds of different communities with hundreds of different cultures that don't recognize each other and that's why youtube is a place of growth controlled by versatile influencers who put out content to entertain, inspire and teach. I chose this question because Creators with CHARACTER and PERSONALITY control the world of youtube and the big meaning of it, be yourself and express your emotions and ideas to the world.

I have grew up watching youtube my whole life and as I was just talking about how youtube is a place of creation with creators from different countries and cultures controlling the scene, I have always watched all those different creators, from english youtubers to arabic youtubers and have gained a lot of maturity and growth from some of them. Youtubers like KSI inspire me to expand my work ethic and create goals as well as buying drinks from his drink company "prime" because of how well it was advertised. I'm also a creator myself, working to create more videos and inspire people to be their true self.

who is the target audience for this text and why would this audience be targeted?

I feel like the target audience for instagram is definitely teenagers because teens love all the drama, gossip and attention and that's what instagram is all about. If You scroll through instagram and check out a post about something controversial, you will notice that everyone in the comments are a bunch of toxic teenagers arguing with each other. Adults are more likely to connect on more casual apps like messenger and whatsapp with no childish drama and celebrity issues with propaganda that teenagers seem to always engage with.

my introduction to social media started off with Instagram when my cousin told me to download it 5 years ago. I actually really enjoyed instagram years ago because the media felt friendlier and a lot less toxic. I used to just take pictures and post my daily life without having to worry about what others think or who sees it and comments on them, now it's just a toxic place with toxic videos online. Now it's just a place for me to text others when I'm bored

what codes and conventions are used for this text?

goosebumps is a TV show on Netflix and they have done an amazing job with their series the past decade because they mix genres together to appeal to different audiences. Mixing horror and comedy together to thrill people but then also make them laugh worked perfectly for their brand

Goosebumps means a lot to me because it was the first TV show I ever watched on Netflix and the first TV show I watched in Canada after living my whole life in Dubai watching cartoons and that's why I feel so much nostalgia everytime I watch one of their episodes today. They had very creative ideas every episode. "the night of the living dummy" chain of episodes are my favorite ones because of the unique display of the dummy and how it's brought back to life.

What is the Narrative of this text? How does it tell a Story?

The NBA was formed in 1949 after the two rivals, The BAA, and the NBL came together after 3-years of rivalry and formed one huge league now known as the NBA. Neither the BAA nor the NBL were popular, so it just goes to show that sometimes teaming up and doing stuff together instead of battling each other and doing things on your own can go a really long way. The NBA has many players that went from rags to riches, Players that got disowned by family, players that grew up on the streets.

The NBA is one of the most entertaining sport leagues to watch with all the competitiveness, drama, rivalry and physicality it brings. I got into basketball in 2015 after watching my first NBA game ever with my friends, It was the 2015 NBA finals and I really enjoyed the Cavaliers and Warriors rivalry back then so I got interested in the sport and fell in love with it. With my favorite player being Lebron James, I started buying a bunch of his LBJ basketball sneakers and wearing them to all of my basketball games. NBA players always advertising these Nike's and Jordan's is what gets so many people to buy these sneakers even when they're ugly looking.

Based on my Psychographic profile, I'm a very athletic person who loves to stay active and play sports. I'm a very independent person that is more task-oriented than relationship-oriented just because of the work ethic I have towards my goals. My circle is small, but I'll always be up to meeting new people. WE OUTSIDE!

This Ad is known as the "Twin Lotus Tooth Paste" Ad and it is the most obviously offensive Ad I have seen in my entire life. It's offensive because it's portraying a man of colour who climbed a pole to get a little girl's balloon that was stuck up there and then as soon as he gets her balloon, her mother takes her kid and runs away then the ad continues to show the upset man of colour laying down on a toothbrush with brown toothpaste with a quote that says "appearance is deceiving" The Ad is clearly trying to tell us that white toothpaste looks better than brown toothpaste but we shouldn't "judge how it looks" and they did that by bringing a black individual into it and got race involved.

"are my values being left out?" I would say everyone's values should be left out because these are human values and as a Muslim who has been through racism before and got called terms like "terrorist" and "Isis" this Ad hits a spot in my heart and makes my values feel left out as a past victim of racism and discrimination. Black is beautiful!

This Ad is clearly intended for african-american individuals and the ad is mostly appealing to them because they're showing an African-American who is feared by all these children's mothers that he tried getting their balloons for multiple times and were portraying him sleeping on brown toothpaste trying to send the message that "white may look more appealing than black but don't judge by the looks because they're both the same quality" and that's racist to the coloured community. They thought they were sending a message but all they did was prove that they think white is more appealing than black.

I express myself through the beauty of fitness & movement. I'm nice on the outside when you see me, Killer on the inside when you compete with me

I have different styles for different places and different timings. to school I dress comfy, you're not important so I dress comfy, In my own space I dress comfy because that's who i am within myself but when you're special I dress like a magician.

I'm only on Instagram to live, learn, fail, get back up and improve. I'm not with the whole texting drama. You bark with passion, I move with passion

WHAT DO THESE MESSAGES MEAN TO ME?
These messages mean positivity and hard work. They show that i'm a very goal-focused person with big dreams that out number the social life that I have on the side. i'm very independent and like to do things without distractions. I'm the king of positivity, when I fall all I do is get back up even stronger.
