In the last post, Ideological Criticism was discussed which gives way to the task of analyzing specific artifacts. My area of study, communications, is focused in media and popular culture, therefore I will be making selections tailored to this subject.
One artifact I would like to analyze using the ideological method of criticism is a television commercial by cleaning product Swiffer which was aired several years ago. This artifact would be appropriate for ideological criticism because it is a main stream advertisement that abides by certain standards and implies certain sociological aspects of life that could be examined with a discerning mind.
Another artifact i would be interested in analyzing using the ideological method of criticism would be the music video "One More Drink" by hip-hop artist Ludacris. This music video would be an appropriate artifact for ideological criticism because it communicates an interesting message in a comedic approach. To look into the underlying ideas in this piece of pop culture would be an intriguing venture into a way of living comprised of clubs, revolving around relationships, alcohol, and sex set against a background of hip-hop lyricism.
One last artifact that I could possibly analyze using the ideological method of criticism is the Disney film "Up" by Pixar Animation Studios. An ideological analysis of this film would allow for an intriguing look into the world the filmmaker's created to serve as entertainment for a younger audience. The potential images being communicated to the audience would be appropriately uncovered in implementing the method of ideological criticism.

The artifact that i think would be most beneficial for you to analyze is the Ludacris song One more Drink because you go into depth about the song. I think you should use the pentatic method of analysis becuase it would let you analyze the paper for 1000 words. I feel it would be easier for you to write your paper this way.
