Reaction To News

Our society's reaction to today's news tends to be a bit vulgar (or political) and probably not something we should be proud of. Like my last blog, I picked something that was totally vulgar and a bit embarrassing for the person who did it. It is great news because it teaches us why we shouldn't get high off of things, but also that we have vulgar tastes in news stories.

Most Newsworthy

I belive the most newsworthy would be the Miami "Naked Zombie" Was Likely High on Bath Salts. It is very interesting because you never hear of someone eating someones face off, even if they are high. I don't know why this guy choose bath salts to get high off of, but clearly they should not be your choice of things to get high off of.

Depending on who you ask media has problems, and has throughout history. Some might be they "speak" before they "think". In other words, they present a story to the public without knowing all the facts and if the facts they have are true. We also don't have a neutral media. Everyone is biased about something, and if they don't give you all the facts, and they don't do it correctly, it could cause problems in the future and even for the company that person is working for.

I get my news from multiple sources, but I would have to say my biggest new source is CNN. Whether it's on the internet or on the TV that is usually where I get my news from. I hear about some news from Facebook, but you can never tell if it is reliable or not. It is important to get your news from multiple sources so that you don't have just one biased opinion. Make sure you have all the facts before you decide to side with someone. Or if you like to have "nice" discussions with people on politics or something, you don't want to just know about one candidate, but about all of them so you can make a good decision.

I believe that the pictures in newpapers, magazines, or the online version of the two have more impact than the words do. You can use words to describe things, but unless you have actually seen the problem or know what they are talking about, the article might not have as big of an impact as someone who knows whats going on. A picture can say 1000 words, and will have more impact and help the reader uunderstand the topic better. For example, if we didn't have pictures of the Great Depression we probably would not feel the way we do today with the pictures. As you can see in the picture above.

Media Intake

I think I have a pretty healthy intake of media in my life. I only really use my phone or my computer for electronics. I have a facebook account but I don't use it that much. I maybe go on there for an hour at the most at one time. I am obsessed with using Pinterest though. To me it's like my drug as cake is to a fat child. Although I use my phone everyday, I mean what teenager, especially teenage girl, doesn't use her phone everyday? Especially since most teenagers have smartphones nowadays and can use all their social media and play games on them. All in all I think I am golden.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Memorable Commercial

My favorite commercials ever are any of the E-Trade commercials. They are so funny and I love how they give the baby a grown man/women's voice. I think it is more memorable because you are taking a little baby and putting it in a real life situation. They also make it funny by having the babies drink milk instead of normal "grown up" drinks. The creaters successfully meshed together "grown up" life and "baby" life.

Media-less Society

     Our class assignment is to think about what our lives would be without a media-less society. Meaning no facebook, pinterest, twitter, etc. I find this hard to think about because my generation is so dependant apon the media that I am sure the world would end (not literally). But if we did live in a media-less society I have no doubt that we would all get along better. We would have to depend apon eachother for our information (or gossip, whichever way you look at it). With saying that, we could also become more ignorant in the sense that it would be harder to get information across the country/world. Something that happend in July in New York, would probably not reach California for a few months.

     We would probably be a more fit country too, because all we would have to do is play outside or go out to get our information and the latest "gossip". We have grown up in a world where we basically get everything handed to us (even if you are poor *cough* wellfare *cough*).  It would seem that my generation is so dependant apon technology and the media for their information that it would be harder for us to cope with no media, taking it from a stand point that we grew up with media then it just "vanished". Now on the other hand, if we grew up without actually knowing any media, then it wouldn't impact our lives so much, because we wouldn't know any different. Who's to say that anything would be any different than it is now? We could probably come up with "runners" to run our information to places for us, just like in the olden days.

     We could benefit from not having a media, but we could also loose things as well. Everything has a good repercussion(s) and a bad repercussion(s). It all depends on how you grew up and how easily you can cope with changes.
