Second Analysis 10/14

Attitude is a manner, disposition, feeling, or even a position of a reaction. Attitude can be expressed physically or verbally. When looking at a person you can get an explanation of how one is feeling. Yet, looks can be deceiving. The way someone acts in public verbally may differ from he or she’s feelings inside. The concept of “attitude” in a story, or picture, lets viewers related and understand emotions of the content. The way one presents their attitude affects the way they are treated.
The concept of “attitude” raises controversy in a positive or negative way from audiences. The way people react to an emotion triggers the way they express themselves in public. Patricia Lynott quoted, “…such experiences do not have the same impact on all women” (Lynott, 1). Every person reacts differently to experiences in life. People may be upset about something, or even overly excited where as others may not. Therefore attitude can affect the way people treat a person. If someone looked mean and scary or was acting unapproachable then people will act the same towards them. Even though a person may or may not intend on acting this way, the way they act can affect their respect.
Attitude can be noticed in people’s voices, looks, wardrobe, and tone. Looking at a picture can clearly be an example to analyze attitude expressed in it. The picture I chose to analyze is a movie cover. The cover of the movie, “Coyote Ugly”, is a correct subject to consider because of the five girls on the cover. Each girl has a different attitude and story. One is laying in front with a sad, annoyed look to her face. One has a very confident and mean aspect. And the other three have a scary and confident appearance. Looking closely one can see that not all women are the same. One is dressed in a white half-shirt and looks uncomfortable. She might strike her audience as a sad, unhappy, and forceful attitude. Looking at the picture you can certainly tell that she is the main character. If someone who hasn’t seen this movie saw this picture they would notice that something was wrong in the picture. Why is the girl’s face so sad? Why is she wearing a half-shirt? And why is she laying across a table? All of these subjects can be analyzed and a story revealed.
It is very important for people to have an accurate understanding of the concept of attitude. Reasons why because attitude mainly influences the way people are treated. If you have a positive attitude you will be treated favorably. If you express a negative attitude you will be treated poorly. The most interesting but simple concepts can be the most impressionable.
