The Importance Of Non-Fictional Media

Thus, the potential danger of stereotypes in cartoons can be depicted as using subliminal messages to affect children’s minds. However , some people might argue that these messages are perhaps unintentional and open to different interpretation. Others might even justify these subliminal messages by claiming that sexism is inevitable in this male dominated society. However, an irrefutable fact remains: many cartoon producers treat children as consumers and not students to be educated (“The Good Things About Television”). In fact, many companies employ subliminal messages in cartoons as a lucrative strategy for marketing their products and merchandise. According to Giroux and Pollock (3) “Corporations such as Disney recognize the potential of lucrative profit to be made of the commodification of children’s culture.”

Media is a very important aspect of human life. It 's images heavily influence our behavior. More importantly, it keeps us within the current lingo of society and allows us to feel more connected with the people around us. However, not all of the concepts the media portrays is good, considering the fact that sexual images and violence is swarming the airwaves. A Surgeon General even reported last year that violence is in a grand total of 61% in the media 's content. Despite all of these negative criticisms, people take the media for granted and do not look into the media that do contain intellectual ideals. It can be really interesting to research whether or not some of this scientific content is true. Our group decided to use the movie

Mass media is one of the greatest tools of communication. Media is the source of mass communication which can be delivered through newspapers, radio, and television. Mass media is very important because it provides information for people around the world. Because of its importance, mass media is always changing day by day. The development of technology lead a change to digital media. Internet, for instance, has been most popular in recent years. It has provided people with a large source of information. As a result, printed media such as newspapers are left behind by the majority of readers. For example, readership for the New York Times has dropped by 50% (BBC. 2010). Newspaper readers have moved onto digital media because of several reasons. These reasons prove that paper newspapers are becoming obsolete.

The media is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, ways though which social issues are influenced. The influence exerted on the issue can either help resolve it, or make it worse. As such, the information a presented in the media is very specific so as to control the direction of certain issues. Such issues may include war, immigration, or gay rights. As far as gays rights are concerned, the progression of this issue has been very slow due to the portrayal of gays in the media. First, there was a lack of representation. Then, it moved to a misrepresentation of gays in the media. The representation of gays in the media has created a specific image of gay individuals that is used to perpetuate inequality and discrimination

According to Stevie Hossler, “Too many children are watching too much television and the shows that they are watching (even if they are cartoons) have become violent and addictive.” (ethos) Prime time animated cartoons give young children a false sense of what real life is about. Unless networks are willing to readdress their social responsibilities as providers of entertainment for young society, television should boycott these types of shows. Television channels that used to show good family values like “Full House” or “Parenthood”, networks now have replaced them with shows like “The Simpsons”, “Family Guy”, and “American Dad”. Cartoons on television glorify violence, influence children to have no respect for

The accessible new art form of television and film is unique to our age and it would be foolish to deny its influence. It’s all around us. In this new age of instant access to entertainment wherever we go, the power of the arts permeates our society and is a daily part of the national dialogue. Those wielding this power take it seriously and many times have a motivation or agenda for the art they produce. They are trying to elicit a certain action or response from their audience: laughter, pathos, anger or

The Mass media is the communication of spoken, written, or broadcast information or idea to a large audience. This could be through various medium such as newspapers, magazines, television, Internet, radio, movies, video games and others. This essay will analyse the representation of crime in newspapers and television. Newspapers are a very important type of media that keep the public informed about happening in the society and around the world. The newspapers tend to give a negative or an exaggerated or an inappropriate account of events especially when the report is related to a criminal activity. This representation of events may be hugely misleading and give the wrong ideas to the audience which may lead to an inappropriate response by society.

Often as adults, we dismiss the culture that children see as valuable in opposition to what is perceived as superior, to adults. Adults often see children’s culture as dumbed down or innocent. Dismissing children’s pop culture as just entertainment or as fluff, misses the overt and covert messages embedded in the medium and the value these items can possess for literacy.

With the fantastic spur both in industry and economy in the world, the spread of media is on the rise. In general, ‘media’ refers to the implement of mass communication, it consists of newspaper, magazines, television, the internet and so forth. There is a huge amount of media users around the world which means the number of audiences is large. As generally acknowledged, nowadays, the spread of news, entertainment has a rapid speed through the media and mass communication. The public opinions and thoughts can be easily affected by the spread of media, also, mass communication of the news media may provide some bias and prejudice of the news. In this sense, to have a powerful communication tool, the agenda setting theory demonstrates that it is better if shaping the various news in order to create a moral society (Kiousis and McCombs, 2004). In general, agenda setting describes the effects of the media on the general public, the ability to choose important issues (Moon 2011, p.699). The sense of agenda setting has been deeply accepted by the public a long time ago. In 1992, Walter Lippmann (1992), a newspaper columnist, argued that the mass media has the ability to produce images of events that can be present to the public. Since 1948, Lazarsfeld and Metton (1948) acknowledged that the function of the press to give specific status upon events it emphasizes. Till 1959, Norton Long (Long 1958) also illustrated that media will grasp specific attention from the public on certain

It has taken a long time to get to where society is now in 2017, and now more than ever media plays a big role in everyone’s lives. With the invention of the computers came numerous other inventions, such as the Internet and smartphones. An example of the big role computers, the Internet and smartphones play in society is given by Baran in page 30 where he says “ the average American child between the ages 8 and 18 spends more than seven hours a day engaged simultaneously with many different screens.” I understand that in order to invent the computer there other creations that allowed the computer to become what it is now, but putting that aside I consider computers to be the most important technological breakthrough. The World Wide Web, smartphones and gaming consoles, would not have come into existence without computers. Other media sources such as Cable television, CD’s, and newspapers, have began to decline in terms of audience mostly due to the upsurge of the computer related media, Baran talks about the industries in transition and mentions how newspapers have lost 26 billion dollars in the past 10 years, he also talks about the decline in CD sales by 13% in between 2013 and 2014 (30)

In this aspect, it´s important to mention that the development of a child´s brain depending on what type of messages and stimulus he receives when he is small will strongly determine the way of thinking of that person when he grows up, so if we understand a little more about kids, it will be easier to comprehend the adult mind. Focusing also on the idea that stimulus for children are pretty important, specially in that stage that goes from the 8-10 years old, because it´s the time when they feel attracted to colorful themes, things that move, sounds, and many other things they can perceive with their senses. Second, still talking about senses, mass media plays a really important role in them, being the first one (specially talking about TV) to influence persons, particularly those in-development such as kids. This influence can be either good or bad depending on what they see, but that will affect their way of thinking nonetheless. As a third reason, and now referring to mass media economic business, it will help us realize and understand a little bit more why cartoons media and companies are so strong, and what type of stimulus they need to put and create in a cartoon in order to keep the attention of a children, in comparison to other type of shows, that even when they are really strong on TV, they don´t have a really major public in small children due to the

It can change opinions because they have access to people and this gives it a lot of strength. This strength can either be used constructively by educating the people or it can be used destructively by misleading the innocent people. Power of the media can transform the whole society especially in the developing countries it can be used as a 'weapon of mass destruction'. But I think the most important use of media is to educate the people about the basic human rights. The dilemma of the developing countries is that people are not fully aware of their basic rights and if they know, they don't know about what to do and where to go. They don't know their collective strength. Even they don't know how to protest and what is the importance of
