Know Your Audience Analysis

From reading through the posts to the "Know Your Audience" questions, I gathered a lot of information about my classmates. I really enjoyed reading through everyone's comments and understanding who it is that I am virtually classmates with, and sharing a lot about myself with! It is good to feel like I know all of you a little bit.

From everyone's posts I realized that we're all somewhat consumed with pop culture. I got this from the response to the question about if you could be stuck in a TV show for a month, and who would you trade places with? Most everyone answered with very popular, current, TV shows. And for the trading places question, most everyone answered with a famous celebrity, or someone who has made an impact on the American public in some way. I think having some touch with pop culture is a good thing. I think it gives us a chance to laugh, something to talk about, and an opportunity to realize that none of us really would want to be like that. Pop culture has a funny way of making you jealous, but being perfectly content with being a normal person at the same time!

I also realized that as a group, we all seem to be generally pretty good people. When asked the question of "what would you do with a million dollars?" most everyone answered that they would do very practical things, buy or pay off a house, invest, send our kids (or future kids) to college, and donate to charity. I know that not all of us are from around here, but it seems to be a very midwestern attitude of giving, being down to earth, a sense of community and caring for those around us.

We all seem to really care about our families and making ourselves better. Obviously, we're all in school trying to accomplish an ultimate goal of making ourselves better and more successful, and ultimately able to provide for those we love. 

I really enjoyed reading these posts and getting to know all of you!
