When
I think about the word Media, it reminds me of the words newspaper, magazines,
books and the internet. Media is really
amazing since it put the readers in another side of the world. A newspaper would be packed with information
about other side of world or about bacteria that only exist in a certain
environment. I do not usually read the
news or communicate with people on the internet because it is time consuming
but once in a while I pick up a newspaper or go to social media sites hence the
title.
One circle that I have dipped myself in to is
the world of late night television. I watch
YouTube videos of talk show host and personalities. They would joke about current events which tell
me that things aren’t so bad. Most of my
information comes from late night shows so I may know something about the pope picking
his boogers instead of his political views or how the pope saved people. I think media is so diverse these days that
one in thirty people would know a references I am talking about. While media is so accessible, people have
grown apart consuming different types of media. It seems like only major events like the
presidential race or the super bowl tether people together.
Media
is a huge part of how I see the world. The
news would try to fill in spaces in my point of view. For example, I do not know many Irish people
so I would fill in that space with an Irish talk show host who is funny and I would
generalize that Irish people are funny. Movies
also influence my identity since I would sympathize with villains. Heroes always mess with them. This somehow made me believe that plans do
not work out. I do not want the media to
highly influence me so I restrict my access.
sometimes friends tell me about these interesting things.
