This week in the discussion board we talked about the media and the effect it has on society today. I have attached a video that i felt represented this subject very well. The men in the video talked baout how the media and political groups are all working to control the minds of the people. At the beginning of the video they talk about professional sports and how the media has labeld those superstars as people that especially men look up to and praise for what they do. The leadership that these allstars have has allowed them to control what us as men do. We find the need to relate to these sports stars and follow them with everything they do.
At about 5:50 in the video a man comes on and talks about the audiences control. We as memebers of the audience can have control when we realize what the media is doing. When we realize the attempt of the media trying to control us the media loses their edge. The man also suggest that we get to know our neighbors and us thepeople around us to relate with, not the TV and media. Today's audience allows the media to make decisions for them. We feel the need to follow what is happening in the media and what the media portrays as the "right" thing to do. Everyone is looking for that leader who will tell them what to do and how to do it instead of thinking on their own making a decision based on their own opinions.
Watch this video!
