Jour 2 has taught me a lot about how the different media play an
impact on peoples lives. Before this class I never took into account the
effects that media and the changing technologies have on my own life. I wasn’t
aware there were so many ways that media can persuade our decisions and
thoughts, makes me think twice about what I believe in. I now see media in a an
entirely different light, it can be used for spreading truth and joy but is
much more commonly used to directly influence people into doing what “they”
want.. I don’t know about you but I’m not the biggest fan of brain washing. Another
thing I’ve learned about media & the first amendment is that if you want to
get the word out about something that the government or other media controllers
want to conceal, then be prepared to have your freedom tested.
Over and out,
