Concept essay

                                                Concept and Image Essay

 

The concept Attitude can be expressed in many different styles. Attitude is looked at differently in many ways and people often see it in a different point of view. The concept attitude is not expressed the same way to everyone and some people take it different ways. Attitude is shown in many ways, such as, through your facial expressions, through someone’s stance, the way they are dressed, their different kinds of gestures, and their overall way of presenting themselves gives off a certain kind of attitude. People determine who you are by your attitude.

            Attitude is a very general topic but there are many ways of looking at it. People do not agree upon this topic because they have different sides to the argument. Having different point of views might often cause controversy because of the different opinions that people have on how the attitude is being portrayed. People must have an appropriate understanding of this concept because some people might think that they see no attitude what so ever, or others might think that attitude can also be positive and not always just negative. Just because you have an attitude doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s bad, it could also be sarcasm. The makeup of attitude consists of many different traits, and each trait has to do with how your attitude is portrayed.

            Your attitude has such an impact on how you present yourself and what other people think of you. Attitude carries a lot about who you are as a person. Some of the emotions that might be associated with attitude would be, having too much confidence, to be to sure of yourself, conceded, or being stuck up. Your attitude has a huge impact on your first impression towards other people and what they think of you. Sometimes attitude can be misjudged because you could come off at first as having a lot of attitude and maybe being rude or over confident. On the other hand, it could be the complete opposite; you could just seem different because of your first impression on others. When your attitude is consistent then it represents who you are because that’s the way you act naturally and shows when you are not thinking about acting a certain way, you just act that way automatically because it’s who you are.

            I can relate and compare my concept to the image on the front of the mean girls movie cover. This picture reveals a lot of attitude coming from the four different girls. A major factor that has to do with what their attitude would be there facial expressions. None of the girls look happy and they are giving mean intimidating faces that would intrigue the viewer and tell a lot about what the movie would be like. The picture fits the name of the movie because of how the girls are presenting themselves. Their posture also tells a lot about what they are like and what others think of them. The girls on the cover look very determined and confident.

            I found an outside source on the Internet that talks about the movie Mean Girls and what the plot of the movie is. “Survival of the ruthless…only the strong survive” (Taglines for Mean Girls). On the website they say a couple of things to draw you into wanting to watch the betrayal and brutal behavior throughout the movie. “This summer, [when the movie first comes out in theatres] be part of the in-crowd” (Taglines for Mean Girls). This is supposed to draw you in so that you will want to be a part of the movie, and you already have a general idea of what the story line will be because of the girls on the cover and their way of expressing their attitude. The girls are sending a message that shows through their attitude and how they act throughout the movie.

            Attitude is a very strong characteristic of your personality and people often determine who you are by it. Your attitude is not something that you have to think about or focus on how you are acting, but it just comes out because of who you are. This affects all the people around you and they notice it in you, and it could bring their moods down or make them feel uncomfortable or angry towards you. Attitude tells everything about the kind of person you are, no one matter how many times someone try’s to change their attitude or someone else’s attitude, it will always come through and show because you cant hide who you are.
