I will attempt to brainwash the girls in the class with a video project and a consumed stimulus. I will convince the class that they are insufficient in their current state and need to buy products that will help them become more desirable.

Trying drinking a couple of Diet sodas while you watch.

At first I wanted to express to the class the way I feel about my body, which is not positive. As I began to think about why I feel this way I realized that my environment had alot to do with it. This is how it looked in my brain:

1. The media is convincing me that I'm not acceptable, (that I'm too fat).

2. I'm not the only girl who feels this way.

3. The media is acting like a brainwashing agent by the way it distorts our perceptions & ways of thinking.

4. I diet to lose weight.

5. I don't drink diet sodas because it has aspertame.

6. Aspertame is a neurotoxin that hurts neurons in our brain.

7. Chemicals are used to numb brain activity in government brainwashing experiments.

8. Aspertame is a dangerous white powder like cocaine.

9. I became addicted to cocaine because I liked the way it kept me thin.

10. Cocaine is illegal, but Aspertame is not.

The more I thought about it, the more connections I began to make. I started my project with research. I studied brainwashing and effects of aspertame and cocaine. Then I set my VCR to record 20 minutes of different channels throughout the day. I logged this footage, using mostly commericials that used body image as a way to sell a product. I put together some pamphlets that contain a consumable stimulus and instructions.
