The life of Adidas


The semiotic analysis is for Adidas which plays a major part in my personal life because with the fact that I play sports and they are the sponsors for our team. Adidas is a major for not just people that play sports but for everyone in the world because they make anything that you possibly wear. Its is like a national icon. The reason that I pretty much only buy Adidas products is because I have never had a problem or defects with anything that I own. When I say its a national icon I mean it due to the fact that everyone knows what there business is about. The brand plays every part of my life because not only do I wear it on days that I play sports but everyday other than that. (135)

Media

My relationship with the media is a medial one in that I really only follower the stories that are big, interest me or stories that are happening in my area. I am neither a media addict or a luddite. I see myself as in the middle as someone that doesn't mind watching or reading the news but then again I would rather be doing other things. The things that influence my relationship about the media is that fact as a kid I never really paid attention to it due to the fact that I had other things to do like be outside or just hanging with friends. I think that I could improve on following the stories around me so that I know whats going in the world that I live in.

what america means to me

My name is William Quigley and I am a student at UMBC. I play soccer for the Mens soccer team. I live in Essex Maryland. now the real question is what america means to me? America means alot to me because it one of the few countries that you are allowed to speak your mind and not be arrested for it. the good things about america is the fact that it is suppose to be a democracy in which the governement is chosen by the people that they govern by in fact the actual things that count during an elections is the electoral college. either they can vote in the way of the people or they can vote the other way, which ever they choose is right.
