We can see from teenagers nowadays, they using their computer do their homework and information from the internet already become their main references. It is because of this, many people already less go to library to search information for their work.

Topic 7 - Media Imperialism

Defination - Media Imperialism

Media imperialism is a theory stating that smaller countries are losing their identity due to the force-feeding of mediamediamedia from larger nations. It can be equated to small community shops closing down due to large superstores moving in, taking over and having a monopoly. As the larger mediamediamediacorporations begin to take over, smaller media companies are either being forced out or swallowed up.

Critical Reflection 1 & 2

In the documentary "The Power of Nightmares" (Part 3 - Shadow in the Cave), the september 11th attack make America lauch the War on Terrorism to against the terrorism. America find a former associate of bin Laden, Jamal al-Fadl, and pay him to testify that bin Laden was the head of a massive terrorist organisation called "al-Qaeda". They use any types of media tools to make their people believe that Islamic country is terrorism, they keep brainwashasing people in order to make people stand in their side for the war. They are using the media imperialism to control people by giving any information which is be favour of them in any media tools. They also make people beliave that all the information given by them is the truth.

After the American invasion of Afghanistan fails to uproot the alleged terrorist newwork, they then extend the war on"terror" to a war against general perceived evils with the invasion of Iraq. In order to do that, once again they using media to justify they have the right to start the war again and again because there are terrorism in others country. This all is just same as the theory of media imperialism, the large country swallowed up the small country. Media imperialism which is too over will casues many problems to people. It also will make people hard to believe in media because people don't know the information is truth or lies, and fake information can be create to deliver to the audience.

Topic 6 - Media Effects

Critical Reflection 1 & 2

Television is one of the mass media that widely use We are The media brings a lot of changes to our society from time to time. We were surrounded by the media and definitely media have its own effect to the society; for example; television. Television is the most common media in our daily life and it is widely use for transmitting messages, knowledge and also information to the audience. Television are also particular as a source of entertainment and news.

According to McLuhan's "Tetrad of Media ", television can be the extend of the eyes. The media effects of the television connect us to view things around the world. Television is a far sight to the audience by just sitting infront it. It also brings others people culture or information to us all the time. Television play inportant role in our daily life and almost all people in the world have their own television in home. By using television, we no need to travel around the world so hardly in order to know what is outside the world. It make our life more covenient. Television already make travel obsolete because we can know things by just turn on the television.

Television make us more knowledgeable and it also bring new lifestyle into our society. People need television for entertainment, news, information and many more. Television already becomes a part of our life. The advertisement, news, information in the television programs keep changing our lifestyle from time to time. Television is the extend of eyes; it already becomes the far sight for the audience.

When the television is over extended for the audience, it will also causes some negetive effects audience. For example, television programs make the audience believe what the they showing in the programs is real, and the audience never go to find out the truth by their own. The audience is too rely on the TV and never explore the world by themself. That will make them be confined to a small world compared to the outside world which is so big and beautiful. They will not realize things from their own experience because all the time they only learn from television. All the knowledge they know is from the television.

In my opinion, media like television has its own positive and negetive effects to our society. So, we must not too rely on the media like television because it will make us lost ourself if we do not use it properly.
