How the media controls the world
Question 1
The presenter discusses how media allows people to go beyond their limits of media reality. Different people will interpret the original content differently. Notably, He also explains how media impacts human efforts to identify their true identity. Secondly, the presenter notes how the media plays a crucial role in dividing people. Division occurs in terms through race, gender, politics and class. He notes that media
ceases to be a source of political and a source of politicalinformation. Instead, media is a profit-driven platform.
Thirdly, the presenter notes the positive exposure opportunity facilitated by media today.
Question 2
People use to Media to amplify historical injustices that divide and continue to spread racism and hate speech. Further, the media plays a critical role in causing a political divide. Due to enhanced technology, people use media to carry out their campaigns. However, media may publish statements that are likely to produce political profiling of people of a contrary view.
However, I think media is a useful tool in eliminating the divide among people status in the world. Media facilitates the necessary communication platform, builds movements, planning and also makes efforts to transform undesirable culture like racism. Media effectively fights all forms of social inequities. For the case of the poor who have no medium to air their concerns, the media plays a crucial role in exposing their plights. Through the display of the conditions by media, it induces responses for addressing these issues by the relevant agencies.
I feel that better policies should be i place to control the use of media in every country. Such [pl policies should including arrest and sentencing of people abusing the proper use of media. I once got hurt by a post on media purported our state as affiliated to a particular political party. This political profiling resulted in decreased development in our state. I appreciate the mediated world since people can quickly air their grievances to the relevant authorities. Further, through media, we can know the events taking place elsewhere promptly through the use of the internet. Further, the media facilitates education and research.
