Google - Year In Search 2015


 Honestly 2015 was awful and I'm glad to say good riddance to it. Sure there were some great moments and some incredible ones that were highlighted in the Google commercial, but there weren't that many. The video created an illusion of popular mass movement, but most of the many of the movements last year were started because of violence or ended with violence. So much blood was shed and lives lost that everyone has been scared for beyond when the year ends. The year showed the world that as of now peace is a lost key thrown away in the world's deepest waters and no one is willing to dive deep enough to get it. All we do is look up "How can the world find peace?" but we take no actions. 

Google was able to make a 2 minute video of propaganda. This Google video of the most searched questions of 2015 cover these bases:
Ignoring that 80% of "refugees" are economic migrants? Check Cringe worthy "revolutionary" narration. Check Ignoring that "Black lives matter" is actually a racist group themselves? Check Annoying dress fad? Check 
It is just trying to distract Americans from what really happened in the United States, because if you pay attention you can see that most of the events occurred in the U.S. or really interested the majority of the nation. It doesn't necessarily cover other parts of the world. It detracts people from the truth about what occurred last year and because of the years of videos like this one it didn't work for most. However, in the comment section some did say that they cried while watching the video. Its safe to say that the video can go both ways. 

Beside the message of the video, Google did a great job with the music and layout of the video. The music made it an upbeat and happy two minutes. Without the music it would have been very boring. Not only did the music make it sound good, but also the speech by Caitlyn Jenner and the short words spoken by President Barack Obama. The layout of how you see the words searched and the images also keep people's attention. 

Google did what people wanted, they showed most Americans what they wanted. Many Americans don't like to open their eyes and see the true reality of what is going on outside of the U.S. They did a great job to try and sell just how great 2015 was, even though it wasn't.
