The Credibility Of Technology And Media

Improved Essays
In a land of unfair systems, broken spirits, lost minds, and fading attention, there are unintended influential persons following behind. Want to know what gives these people the right to be superior? It’s the fact that they’re as what was referred to earlier as a “person”. No credit given, because they are told they can’t have any. No chance to shoot into the hoop of their own future, because they acknowledge the words of the closest, which is dribbling negativity into their court and among their foundation. No mindsets of their own worthiness, because they have decided to let society’s media, limit them and set them at its’ level. This has become a bit too much to look at. Groveling and obsessing over media, letting someone close to them …show more content…
Likes and comments won’t make fame, just as shares and retweets won’t classify anyone as “important”. Technology and media has murdered them all! They’re dead! The youth has been slandered, cut open, embarrassed, mistreated, and burned by such media and technology, yet they stand by it. Rather protecting the morals and values as a “person”, they rather protect the source that’s sucking away their morals and values. There are simply no good reasons on why anyone couldn’t rip apart from something that is mentally taking over, but then again for everything running off energy in the world, there is a main source or a line of sources. But the thing to remember here is that, as humans instead of materials, the ripping away from materials won’t reduce energy. Media is not their energy, media is just a …show more content…
The camouflage of it is that the words could be wrong and they would never know it because of previous words they’ve listened to before that have gotten them by. This is why they are becoming so weak, the trickery of the ultimate people close to them. It’s sad to say, but even the ones close plot and plan for failure, but the scheme doesn’t need much plot when the trust is already there. There is no future in some of these youth because they can’t see the difference between the plot twister and the care giver. They have to learn and understand that everyone is not for them, and not everyone wants to see them win. The future is between the minds of those people, the youth should know how to make their own influential future

    There are two types of people in the world at any given second: the powerful and the powerless. Everyone is capable of being both. Saying something such as this may not make sense right now, but it is a very important thing that everyone needs to know. This is what John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men and Robert Burns’s “To a Mouse” teach us about the way that the world operates. These pieces of writing also show us that there isn’t always a happy ending for everyone because of people who have power over other people.…

    Creating Free Will and Individuality in an Oppressive Society In the excerpt titled “The Soul of an Individualist” from Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead she writes, “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time.” She also mentions these individual creators got nothing but hate in response for their miraculous inventions. The same is true for the protagonist, Equality 7-2521, in Rand’s novella Anthem; he struggles to show his individuality in his society’s collectivist government.…

    Today’s haughty society is full of pride, vain, arrogance and condescension. Weather it be an individual’s beliefs or personalities, it is everywhere and always there. No one cares if they are adverse in the life of another so long as they are at the top of something, therefore scaring identities, damaging relationships and blocking access and opportunity for individuals. Whether it be immediate, or years later, the encounter between society and vain will forever tarnish and hinder an individual’s identity, image and relationships as depicted in The First Day by Edward P. Jones. Pride, it is a blessing and a curse, allowing yourself to be proud of yourself is an incredible however, it is taken advantage so often we turn into condescending figures who haunt our thoughts and corrode the image we project onto one another.…

    Dominance is discovered by thousands of interactions between the powerful and powerless. Those who desire to obtain dominance, however, open the door for unethical behavior. In The Tortilla Curtain, a novel written by T.C. Boyle, Boyle reveals the unethical behavior power-hungry individuals commit towards the powerless. Boyle suggests a parallel between the characters in his novel and institutions and people in the United States. Through these parallels, Boyle illustrates the division between people due to a single person’s motive to appear dominant.…

    Media outlook In America today, the media has shaped males and females to have a significant impact on the way both male and females should look and act. Men often act aggressively, never showing any emotion to what is taking place in their lives or around them. Men also depicted as lustful lotharios, constantly on the hunt for a new woman. Women, on the other hand, are usually portrayed as attractive, and emotional beings who seek satisfaction in pleasing the men in their life.…

    Power Wrongly Implies Privilege Power, position, fame and wealth can wrongly give a sense of entitlement. In Greek mythology, this entitlement was the accepted norm. In today’s society everyone is held accountable for their actions; however, people of power often think their actions have no consequences. The poem “Leda and the Swan” written by William Butler Yeats is comparable to current media reports in today’s society; men of power being accused of sexual misconduct against women. Many famous men repeatedly abuse their power and the consequences often fall upon women and society, relating to the events in “Leda and the Swan”.…

    It is often said that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Even as this holds true throughout history, power and more specifically, exerting power over others is necessary for any society to exist. Exerting dominance, leadership and power are animalistic instincts that are necessary to maintain the order of organisms co-existing. Humans, as advanced organisms, face the unique challenge of morality and maintaining justice within societies that have had a history of being unjust because they are undeniably and unchangeably power based. This power imbalance leads directly to inequality and systemic oppression such as racism and sexism.…

    In this essay I will be presenting how types of media’s discourse affects the way information is presented to a reader. Unsurprisingly, different situations create different types of writing and often with different purposes. To illustrate this mind-blogging revolutionary concept, that has not been realized since the fall of the bourgeoisie (this whole facetious thing is not ending anytime soon, it is not very clever or fun but enjoy… on second thought it does actually), I will be discussing how data is represented in a popular news source versus the academic research article it is based upon. The topic that both sources will be discussing is how Geni.com provide data on family marriage patterns within the United States and how distance affected…

    Status is a curious thing. It is so often set in a way that cannot be controlled, and there is not much one can do to change it. Even though all men are supposed to be equal, there are still clear lines of status: wealth, popularity, intellect, and ability being some. And those with higher status almost universally have more power over those “below” them.…

    Our society is a system in which people are ranked above one another due to status or authority. Every day, our opinions are influenced by the media, peers, and other hierarchical figures. The main message in Billy Collins’ poem, “Some Days,” is the power of manipulation, and how even though these hierarchical figures can have control over character and identity, they have the potential to be subjected to manipulation as well. Using the analogy of a doll house, the speaker depicts himself playing with dolls, emphasizing how he is in control of the dolls and can make them do whatever he pleases. He states, “Some days I put the people in their places at the table / bend their legs at the knees / (...) and fix them into the tiny wooden chairs,”…
