The documentary entitled "The Power of Nightmares (Part 3 - Shadow in the Cave)" by Adam Curtis was shown in class on Monday. How do you relate the information given to you in the documentary to the theory of Media Imperialism that we talked about in lecture?
definition of media imperialism
Media Media imperialism is a theory stating that smaller countries are losing their identity due to the force-feeding of media 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 mediam corporations begin to take over, smaller media companies are either being forced out or swallowed up. source - What is media imperialism?
critical reflection 1
from what happen on 9/11, this incidents create a situation that people used media to accused or create story that we don't know whether it is true or not. for what happen on that day, US try to protect they nation by searching Osama (the person that US accused the mastermind of what happen on that day), but none of the plan is successful. now days, people start to think whether the story that be create about Osama it is true or not.
critical reflection 2
people are still believe on what media delivered. no matter whether that is the truth or not, media are capable to make audiences to trust the news. that's why because of some of the audiences that find out the media delivered false information, they try to find the truth and tell the world so that people might change their perspective on the issue. now days, people are trying to find out the truth to prevent war or killing. the evidence is the thing that can make people trust the truth, without it, the news or the information is can not be trusted.
personal reflection
because the next day have df submission, a lot of student absent this class. class become more quite and a little bit cold. overall i think i can be more focus even it cold. to me its better cold then noisy.
