His brother, Wilhelm Karl Grimm, was born on February 24 of the following year. They were the oldest surviving sons of Philipp Grimm, a lawyer who served as Hanau's town clerk. As small children they spent most of their time together; aside from a brief period of living apart, they were to remain together for the rest of their lives. Their even-tempered personalities made it easy for them to work together on projects. The main difference in their personalities seems to have been that Jakob, the healthier of the two, had more taste for research work, and it was he who worked out most of their theories of language and grammar. Wilhelm was physically weaker but was a somewhat warmer person and more interested in music and literature. He was responsible for the pleasant style of their collection of fairy tales.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">The romantic movement in Germany (a movement in the arts that favored a return to nature and a greater focus on national culture, especially folk tales) awakened the Germans' interest in the past of their own country. Although some work in the rediscovery and editing of medieval (from the Middle Ages, 500–1500) German literature had already been started in the eighteenth century, it was the poets and theorists of the next century who first focused national attention on the origins of German culture and literature. While most of the poets viewed medieval literature mainly as an inspiration for new writing, others turned their attention to the investigation of the past. The Grimm brothers were the most important of these early language and folklore romantic historians. The Grimm brothers' last years were spent in preparing a complete dictionary of the German language, tracing the origin of every word. The Grimms' dictionary was carried on by generations of scholars after the brothers' deaths, and it was finally finished in 1960. Its completed form consists of sixteen large volumes.Wilhelm died in Berlin on December 16, 1859. Jakob continued to work on the dictionary and related projects until his death in Berlin on September 20, 1863.</span></span></div>

In his "Morphology of the Folktale" (1928), Propp, based on historical analysis of ethnological materials relating tales from Africa, America, the European classical world, of Byzantine and Russian folk storytelling, and concludes that tales reflect historically locatable, previous mystical conceptions.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">Propp extracted from his studies three basic principles:</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">1. Constant and stable elements of the story, are the roles of the characters, regardless of who performs or its embodiment.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">2. The number of functions (or actions) that occur in the story, is limited.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">3. The sequence of functions is always identical.</span></span></div>

He applied psychoanalytic principles to social problems, especially in child rearing. Bettelheim was a good storyteller and popularizer of Freud's ideas, and his books sold very successfully. He recounted his clinical experience in three books about the Orthogenic School, Love Is Not Enough: A Treatment of Emotionally Disturbed Children (1950), Truants from Life (1955), and A Home for the Heart (1974), and in The Empty Fortress (1967), which studies three cases of autism. The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales (1976), a study of the role of fairy tales on the development of the unconscious, is Bettelheim's best-selling book. He also wrote a book on education in the kibbutzim, The Children of the Dream (1969), and many other works on children's education (Dialogues with Mothers, 1962; A Good Enough Parent, 1987; and numerous articles). Dr. Bettelheim taught us that fairy tales are an endless source of aesthetic pleasure and have great influence in the education of children.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;"> Fairy tales - Little Red Riding Hood - Cinderella - Snow White -Sleeping Beauty - Hansel and Gretel - exert a liberating function and training for child mentality and endow it with moral and emotional support. By identifying with the same characters in the stories, children begin to experience for themselves feelings of justice, loyalty, love, courage, not imposed lessons, if not as a joyful discovery, as an organic part of the adventure of living.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="color: white;">Kieran Egan criticizes the principles underlying the teaching in primary schools, whereby children learn only if we proceed from the concrete to the abstract, from the known to the unknown, from the simple to the complex, and the conceptualizing symbolicmanipulation. These approaches neglect the fundamental tools with which children have to attribute meaning to their experience and the new information they receive: imagination and fantasy.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">Currently most of the authors, based on empirical observations, assert that children learn from what they already know. Therefore, when children come to school, are able to produce mental images and abstract knowledge have paired some very powerful: goodness/ badness, courage / cowardice, true / false, etc.. Both mental imagery as abstract knowledge allow children understand Snow White, or have in his mind the animals talk, even when they know from experience that this is not so.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white;">If we know that the above is true, then we cannot say categorically that the child learns from the concrete to the abstract. Therefore we cannot say that history is not taught to young children because they lack the knowledge needed to make sense of abstract. Children have the conceptual tools necessary to make sense of history, to learn about our past, to understand the struggle for freedom and against violence, etc.. Children use these concepts to learn about aspects of the world and experience.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">In Africa, in the grand scheme of things and time, printed material is a fairly new development, so these stories had to survive through generations without being written down. African folktales are intended to teach people, particularly the young people, about life lessons and ways they should conduct themselves in order to succeed in life and love. Most of the stories come from the south of the continent and , as is common in the oral tradition stories, appears animals with human characteristics and a high burden of symbolism. The stories are often accompanied with a moral end.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; line-height: 21px;">Anansi (as he is known in Ghana), the famous spider is usually the “bad guy”; a frequent trickster in folktales circulated around the vast continent, he goes by many different names depending on the country and tribe where a story is being told. Through the character of Anansi, listeners can learn from his wise, humorous, and sometimes idiotic ways. This legendary character of Anansi has even travelled as far as Caribbean island folk tales, where he has the name of “Ti Malice” in Haiti for example.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">Another very common characteristic of folk tales from Africa is the use of nature. In almost all stories, animals play a significant role, sometimes taking on human characteristics such as becoming the protagonists and cameo roles from which the main lesson or moral of the story is learned. Some of the common animal characters include:</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">The natural habitat and environment of these animals also teaches the listener about the land in which they live. Many folktales talk about the landscape and climate of the African continent, such as:</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The suffering of the dry season or of droughts when rain hasn’t come for several years</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">The vast savannas, muddy rivers, and spectacular sunsets provide a diverse backdrop against which the stories take place.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: white;">Just like in real life, and quite unlike the majority of Western folktales, not many African folktales end with “happily ever after”, but they spread important life lessons of selflessness, community engagement, honor, loyalty, honesty, and friendship.</span></span></div>

In the visions of the Dreamtime the border between man and animal, between earthly and celestial bodies, are often blurred. All elements of the cosmos participate in a mysterious symphony of subtle harmonic nuances.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Aboriginal children were told stories from a very early age; stories that helped them understand the air, the land, the universe, their people, their culture and their history. Elders told stories of their journeys and their accomplishments. As the children grew into adults they took on the responsibility of passing on the stories. These stories are as much a cultural necessity as they are entertainment and are still passed on orally though many are now recorded in print, audio and video.</span></span></div>

This is a drinkable product whose brand is "Gatorade". This is an ad in which we realize that is targeting to all sportsmen. What this ad shows is a water bottle in the boxing ring defeated by a Gatorade bottle so the message is that with a Gatorade bottle someone can get more strenght to overcome himself without losing energy. The image that all of us can see coincides with the slogan "Gatorade always wins". Nice ad!!Cáceres Yaninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03877014164158358771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206950430871200932.post-18082537601214427482012-10-07T16:16:00.001-07:002012-10-07T16:16:30.302-07:00<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">La yama que yama-circo de Moscú</span>

<br />
The service that is being advertised is a telephone service and the company's name is "Telecom". This ad is targeting to the family in general and what the company tries to display with humor is that someone can call anywhere in the world without worrying about the costs of long distance. Besides this ad shows a funny and united family that when it is time to use the telephone they generate a humorous climate.<br />
The message is clear and personally I believe that this a very well done commercial!!Cáceres Yaninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03877014164158358771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206950430871200932.post-42682363800359366542012-10-07T15:32:00.001-07:002012-10-07T15:42:00.591-07:00<span style="color: white; font-size: x-large;">Pantene commercial</span><br />

The product that is being advertised is a hair product and its brand is "Pantene". This advertising is targeting to all women and although this is a charming ad I do not like at all the idea of selling because this ad plays with feelings of discrimination. What the ad shows is a young disabled girl, to be more specific, she is a deaf and a mute girl who struggles against her disability to play the violin while her classmate who is a competitive girl and who is always discriminating her, attempts to break down this girl's dream. But the young disabled girl achieves her dream and finishes playing the violin, being recognized by all the crowd.<br />
The slogan that appears at the end of the ad next to the Pantene logo is "You can shine" and from my ponit of view this has nothing to do with anything. It is clear that this is a misleading ad that attempts to play with people's feelings using as marketing a disabilityCáceres Yaninahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03877014164158358771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206950430871200932.post-29769045413618095162012-10-07T00:34:00.000-07:002012-10-07T13:54:43.690-07:00<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-size: large;">Diary Milk chocolate-Sweet way of flirting</span><br />

<br />
<div>
This is an ad in which the product is a delicious chocolate that is called "Diary Milk Chocolate" and we clearly see how a boy tries to flirt a girl asking her for a bar of chocolate. This is an ad that is targeting to adolescents in which tries to persuade them through romanticism.</div>
<div>
The message that shows is clear: wherever this chocolate is there will be love. Personally this is an interesting ad but at the same time is misleading due to the fact that a loving relationship does not arise because of a chocolate as is being shown in this ad.</div>
