Media Class Analysis

explain it to someone else. But this is neither a film review nor a film

The media plays a massive role in the construction of crime, this includes the reporting of crime, the sensationalisation of stories, over-representation of different social groups and age of offenders. Construction of crime is also through stereotyping both ethnicity and gender. It is sometimes argued that the media is an ideological tool that is used to distort reality from its viewers. Female killers are often considered as ‘oxymoronic’, as they are seen as contradictory. Females are generally seen as caring beings but once they commit violent crimes, they are judged based individual circumstances and it is not taken into consideration that they could just as violent as male offenders in their own right. In this essay, I will be focusing on the gender stereotypes in media, specifically focusing on female killers.

In the article Media Magic: Making Class Invisible, Mantsios speaks about how the social classes are placed upon the society, and how mass media plays a role towards the individual’s perspectives within our surroundings. Mantsios explains the class effects of a person’s life changes, such as the inequality of rich and the poor from the representation of false truths from “daily newspapers, magazines, movie studios, and radio and television outlets in the United States” (Mantsios, pg. 92). Advantages were usually directed towards the higher class, as their status and access to resources were usually the center of attention when it came to favoritism from the media. The idea which the media “provided hype for individuals who have achieved “super” success” (Mantsios, pg. 96) as individuals praise the idea of the 1% upper class by “making it all on their own ” along with the acknowledgment of being wealthy is to be accepted.

How has the media’s objectivity been affected by the explosion of information sources? Will individuals increasingly live in worlds of their own ideological and moral construction by further isolating themselves from competing ideas? Are we entering an era of “choose your truth”? How does information technology further expand the same rifts between civilizations and between individuals in the same communities? How does it bridge those divides?

The media post news stories daily about ways to loose weight, ways to be more energized, and many other stories that claim doing something will lead to an outcome everyone wants. However, the media often times takes scientific studies, and post what they want the viewers to believe out of the study. Sometimes the media is correct and other times they have completely turned the studies around. When looking at a media claim the actually study is usually mentioned but not shown. If viewers wanted, they could look up the original study to compare if it is true with the claim or not. This paper will address three media studies that are compared with their original study to see if the media claim is true or falsely advertised.

1. What struck me most about the astronaut video is the way in which all the speakers agree that they had a type of cosmic, profound experience when seeing earth from the perspective of space. They refer to this as the "overview" effect, where space travelers become aware of earth and its sun as a planet and star among others in space. One person noted that the effect of this, for him, was an emotional, visceral sense of being "one" with everything. Living on earth, it is difficult to achieve this perspective in a truly profound way. I think it must be an awe-inspiring experience to see earth like this, from space, with all its interactive, dynamic systems. It must be far more profound than study could ever make it.

It not only benefits you and your environment and reputation, but it also helps others feel more wanted and accepted. “There’s only one rule I know of: You've got to be kind.” —Kurt Vonnegut. If you're kind to others, you'll most likely make at least a friend if not more. Make sure you make friends, friends, are important, the people you associate yourself with, are so important. Focus on friends and ignore enemies. “Garbage in, garbage out.” You truly are only as good as the people you surround yourself with. You gain knowledge from your friends, but they also impact you, your attitude, and sometimes even your beliefs. The people you are around, follow, or even talk to, can shape you as a

Frequently, countless discussions on the topic of representation in the media have surged on the internet. Representation stands for a portrayal of countless groups of individuals on the screen. This paper will analyze the effects of the media about representing LGBT characters. Especially, since portrayals of LGBT characters influence society perceptions for the best or worst.

The first media usage I am going to analyze will be Facebook and the agenda setting idea. Agenda setting is repeated news coverage of an issue over time that raises importance of that issue in the public mind. In the past week when I logged onto Facebook, all I saw were posts about whether or not you should kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality or stand. Most people who don't watch football would not have any idea of the debate going on. However, since it is all that is being talked about on Facebook, more and more people are seeing it and making it more of an issue. For example, the University of Iowa is hosting a police brutality protest during our homecoming game this upcoming weekend. This post has been shared all

Science World use several media assets to get their message across their targeted audience. To begin with, one of the media assets used for their message was real life size objects such as a car and a cat litter box. These two media assets used were very effective due to the fact it was eye catching which attracted the audience attention, which led them to read shocking fact. Furthermore, other media assets used by Science World was mock ups like skin, hair and pictures. These assets in my opinion were more effective because as a viewer, it makes use curious and wanting to perhaps touch or get a closer look. In other words, rather then just seeing the life size objects were most less likely to react and just keep going with our life’s. However,

Like many people my age, media is a huge part of my daily life and is prevalent in all my memories. Media such as photography brings to life memories I otherwise would have forgotten, while the internet allows me to connect with others from across the world and gives me access to resources like Khan Academy to aid me in school. Media also has more negative impacts, such as interfering with family time. Whether its effect is positive or negative, media has influenced my life since the start and this reflection helped me realize that.

An artist's chosen media controls their entire artwork. I feel as though the media are the most important part of a work of art because it can determine how art makes us feel, how we interpret it, and how long it takes to create. With having so many forms of media such as: architecture, paint, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking, an artist has a wide array of directions their artwork can go. Furthermore, I think that when an artist commits to a medium they have already narrowed down the type of art they are going to create and this greatly influences the amount of time their art will take to create. By having such expansive, and various options for media, I feel as though artists truly have all control over the process of designing their art. Some of the aspects of the creative process that are affected by the media are: cost, materials used, color schemes, and textures.
