Media & Three Learning Outcomes

1. The Mass Media is such a powerful tool. The ways of collecting knowledge and being connected to the world. All of the tools that are used to display facts and news examples being the newspaper, television, radio, magazines, books, sound recordings and the internet are all ways for the big bosses to send out a mass message to the people. Whether a good message or a misleading message they are sent daily. We the people are always being downloaded upon with all of the buy buy buy! Also the lies that constantly fill our heads, its starting to wear us down. The people of this country are no longer empowered, they are scared and dependent on a government that does just that. Lie to them constantly to keep them in fear and keep the economy afloat. There are some very beneficial properties to all of the components that have been touched up on. The first thing is breaking free of what we have to do that is ok by society. Stop talking about things that don't matter. Like how Britney Spears gained 10 pounds. Nobody care! Empower the people to take their country back, give the people the right to make decisions and laws.

2. The cultural impact of the mass media is pretty powerful, if in India the clothes would be different. What is considered ok to say in front of all sorts of people in certain places of the world is very different then here. America is pretty lenient with the words aloud to be said and the clothes and style can be pretty skimpy. Anyways back to the point the cultural influence in America is lenient, but its very subtle there is a very corporate business aspect to how one is to dress when having to represent the country. America is a melting pot of amazing cultural differences that is not always portrayed correctly. It seems that there is a corporate portrayal overall. If you look beyond the mass media and all of the stuff that really should not speak for an entire nation, there are amazing cultures thriving within homes and traditions are being kept alive. Which is the best part of this country because these traditions are aloud to flourish. The main point being is that the cultural differences in this country are not showed to the extreme that is really going on. The political aspect of the mass media is ridiculous though always an undertow of making one believe that they should change their mind.

3. The mass media has changed in so many ways. It has become so bold and in your face. As it can be detected my opinion on the mass media is some what pessimistic, but thats ok. In the fifties girls could not have a music video of them with their booty hanging out of their chaps. Woman were just being aloud to vote let alone be interviewed and shown on television in a lot of important debates. Thank whatever is out there that things have changed. It seems that the initial grab was all the cigarette and alcohol advertisements. Now its all about what the president is doing to mess up or what scandalous celebrity has come out with a new sex video. Yes on the lighter note the mass media is free from constraints on a lot of words and the mass media sometimes comes around and talks about something worth it. This once again is such a powerful tool and if used properly it could change the world, lets just start with us first. Wake up America
