Media And Media

The mass media is an important factor when it comes to getting a message across to the public. No specific community can do without media as it is a crucial element to society. The media helps provide individuals things that they need the most, that being information. Sometimes this information is considered injurious and appalling, whereas other times it normal. The messages that are taken from the media are based off of one's own faith and knowledge, in accordance to the reinforcement theory (Jetter, 2017). The reinforcement theory argues that you can change someone's perspective or behavior by using reinforcement, punishment and extinction. Punishments are used to avoid the behavior you do, rewards are used to support the behavior you want and lastly extinction represents stopping an individual from acting upon a learned behavior. Although terrorism cannot be defined in one specific definition, it can be depicted as the use of violence against innocent individuals to bring political change through the means of fear. Majority of the time, terrorist attacks are often not directly intended for an exact individual, rather, are done to convey a memorandum (Altheide, 2007). This can potentially signify that the media paying a large amount of attention to terrorist organizations, may further encourage them to continue their violence. The correlation between terrorist and the media is symbiotic as terrorist organizations terrorize in order to seek publicity for the sole

Media and Diversity

Diversity in media has been a topic of concerns for years now. The diversity across all areas of media has seen significant change from that of the 50's and 60's. Comparatively, media representation has seen somewhat of a golden age in regards to diversity. Unfortunately, despite the progress we have made as a nation, we still have a ways to go in regards to properly diversifying our various forms of media. There are a few ways in which we can begin to diversify the how media is produced and well as how it is viewed. The media will need to get away from the status quo, media needs to portray a collective view and finally proper education and insight into the mindset of the target audience will help diversify the media. Media is stuck in a loop and to diversify it needs to try something new. The end goal of most media, regardless of the form, is to produce revenue. Therefore methods that have proven to work in the past will be repeated until shown to be unsuccessful. A recent article in Feminist Magazine discussed an annual report released by the Women's Media Center on gender bias in major US media creation. The report discussed some reasons as to why media creation is still geared towards males. The main cause dealt with how marketers utilize media to target the group of people that have the most disposable income, white males 18 – 49 (Mandanas, 2014). This mentality was been the status quo for years and does not take in consideration other groups or combined marketing

Dangers And Long-Term Effects Of Tanning

Media Analysis 'Media' is the plural of the word 'medium', which often refers to different ways of communicating with other people; if the target is a large number of people, then it is called 'mass media'. There are many types of media, such as TV, radio, films, newspaper, Internet etc. The main purpose of media is to entertain; however they can also be used to persuade, inform, explain and advice. Media can be very powerful; therefore people are influenced and affected by them. The two articles we have looked at for analysis have a common theme – both talks about the dangers and long–term effects of tanning. The first article is from The Big Issues and the second is from Derby Evening.. more content... The two texts have been written with different intentions and they both have specific target audiences. The first text, 'Sun Vampires' from The Big Issue, has been written to inform the readers of the dangers and long–term effects of tanning. Other purposes include: to ridicule the 'tanorexics', to advice people about the proper method of tanning and to warn those who are beginning to go on the sunbeds. The main target audience of this article is the younger generations of the society who are more likely to get addicted to tanning on sunbeds. Nevertheless to some extent, the authorial intent is to entertain and titillate leisurely readers who are looking for something to amuse the mind. In order to achieve the purpose and communicate the ideas to the readership, the writer uses vernacular language such as 'fork out', 'one hell of a habit' and 'let's face it', and modern names, e. Peter Andre and Bros – these techniques appeal greatly to the young people and therefore convey the message more effectively. The writer also grabs the attention of casual readers by using a light– hearted tone– as a result of this, the reader wouldn't be too shocked or frightened, thus willing to buy another copy of the magazine in the future. The second text, 'Face the fact – the sun is a real danger', from Derby Evening Telegraph (DET), have similar purposes to the 'Sun Vampires': to

Essay about Reflection on the media

"So many of the pictures we see are artificial, manufactured images. What happens when a girl or woman compares her real self with this narrow, unreal image of "perfection"?" (SB 127). Advertisers constantly use unrealistic models, male or female, to sell their products. These techniques target people's self esteem, and plants false images of perfection in society's mind. The media's techniques lower people's self esteem and damages their self image. I don't agree with the techniques the media uses. They make young girls and women feel insecure about flaws that don't exist. "The Price of Happiness: Advertising and Image" says,"Researchers have found that girls and women who work as models weigh 23% less than the.. more content... After school I always listen to music or watch Netflix. What i've listed is barely half of my actual interaction with the media on a daily basis. This goes to show that the media plays a big part in my life and others. The problems found in the media can't be solved easily. "Ads tend to convey the idea that appearance is allimportant. They teach us to be selfconscious about how we look" (SB 128) To grow up being taught to be selfconscious is tough. People should be able to go about their lives without constantly being concerned about how they look. A simple solution to any problem about self image through the media is to address the fact that everyone is beautiful in their own way. Promote loving yourself the way you are instead of influencing others to change for others. Have the media come together and agree that it is perfectly acceptable to teach others and influence them to be happy with who they are. All the problems addressed in the media cant't and won't be solved easily but it takes the first step of people to at least try. The media's techniques lower people's self esteem and damages their self image. All the lies and false images have impacted our society negatively in many ways. From increasing numbers of females with eating disorders , to our society being accustomed to being selfconscious, the media needs to change dramatically. If the media were to use

Essay on Media Effects

Media Effects The Effects of Media on the Public's Opinion Mass media – have you ever taken the time to consider two articles about the same thing? Some may be more bias against a group or idea, while others keep a strict, non bias view. The way the media portrays events may change or even corrupt people's thoughts on certain public matters. This paper will dissect four articles on the Woodstock riots and show the relationships and differences between them. On a Sunday night, near the closing song of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, there were a few bonfires were reported. The firefighters, feeling they were under control, let these bonfires burn. Then Limp Bizkit came on, another hard–core band. In their song Breakstuff, the audience climbed.. more content... (PG 2 para. 3) his statement helped direct the blame at high prices. In the article They Must Have Run Out of Drugs, the author used a quote by Chris Melnyczenko to help place blame on the disgruntled youth. Melnyczenko said, They're destroying everything. (Pg. 1 para. 7) Another similar quote by an unknown person, Oh man they must of run out of drugs, (page 1 & 2) struck the author so much that he made it the title. Facts may be different or changed up to help exaggerate the authors' or companies' view points in the articles, Is Rock 'n' Rage Replacing Rock 'n' Roll? and Woodstock Gets Ugly. In the article, Is Rock 'n' Rage Replacing Rock 'n' Roll? the author spends the majority of his writing comparing the past two Woodstocks to the current one, barely touching on the subject of the riot. The article only stated what happened and the fact that the blame should be placed on the band, Limp Bizkit. The band was said to have urged the audience to break stuff. In the other article, Woodstock Gets Ugly, it is said that placing one hard–core band after another could be a mistake and may be the cause of the riots, or other happening, to be placed on the organizers of the event, the bands or the audience. This shows how the companies' or authors' views can be bias against certain groups or ideas by placing the blame on a single band, but a non bias paper places the blame all around. The motivation in
