The only way people can fight against it and try to slow it down is to ignore it and not follow what it resembles. The media controls our lives through every outlet and resource we obtain it has consumed us and we hunger for more. The only way to change how media does business is within ourselves it begins with us not revolving our lives around what celebrity did what or what new fashion item is popular. We as consumers need to take a different aspect on how we live our lives and promote awareness for the greater good and become role models for the youth rather then who has more followers on Instagram. Ultimately the only way to change the media is to express yourself in a way that makes you comfortable and happy and not what they…
A lot of the information that people obtain come from the news, social media, and other types of media. The news has a lot of influence in forming some people’s opinions. The problem is that the many media outlets have biased opinions or provide…

Response to Cory’s Post It is impossible to know the things that go in individuals’ souls unless they speak them out. As a person grows old, s/he experiences many things, some with a positive influence on their lives, while others with negative influence. Some people are quick to judge others depending on their behavior, not having taken a chance to know that might be the reason for them to behave that way. It is indeed wrong, where one should not conclude an issue not having known what might be the problem.…
Over the years the media has caused a lot of controversy with public opinion on racial, political and even matters in other countries. A lot of these controversies have caused Riots, the Rodney King Story, Racism and bias in the workplace/school systems, segregation and plain old stereotypes. There are so many developments that arise in the public because of racial stereotypes and bias. The media never really helps with this train of thought. The media can make today 's youth corrupt on their idea of how other races really are.…
Malcolm X once said “If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. ”The news often belittles black individuals more than white individuals, it is an enormous issue in the black community. Society has been mentally conditioned to feel that most dark individuals have negative conduct. The media uncovers inclination by just depicting black people as individuals who are not as much as white people by demonstrating their poor and broken side of their gathering of people. The media is also responsible for displaying a substandard side of black people rather than showing them succeed in life.…
In modern America, there is a consistent division between people. A common causef of this division is political beliefs. Actions of people on different sides of the political argument can cause contention between people, and these actions cause arguments. The American culture has progressed liberally, and there is liberal bias that is prominent in the media that shows that progression. First, liberal bias is prominent in social media.…

Racism in News Media is one of the primary way to know the affairs of the world. People believes what they see on newspaper or television without judging if the -information is trustworthy or not. Sometimes the way a situation is presented on media is the exact opposite of the reality. The people in power do not let ordinary citizen know the truth. If the authentic news was provided, general people would think situations differently.…
Breaking news, “In recent events, a white male was seen outside making obvious gestures towards a black male.” This is one of the many ways the media shows its interest in certain events. By inserting a person’s race, more individuals will be agitated and think negatively towards a group or groups of people depending on their view of the subject. It does not stop there, however. The media, also, makes it apparent to create arguments and controversy over other topics that include, but not limited to, gender, race, and birth control.…
Often in history we make ourselves seen in a certain light with how we prioritize the media. But the documentary “Control Room” demonstrates a realistic view of the acts committed during the Iraq war by having it recorded and later televised with two conflicting viewpoints. The documentary utilizes the media in filming a historical account of both views on the Iraq war as a way to educate the people with context that they can apply to the moments of terror during the war. Due to most conflicts bring fought on two grounds with the war and the propaganda it can lead to distorted views of who the “good guys” are resulting in biased media and can lead to limitations on what the media can project to the public.…
The United States of America, land of the free, is a country where American citizens are allowed and encouraged to vote for a candidate they feel is representative of their own personal beliefs and values, as well as capable of leading our country in a positive and economically sound direction. In fact, voting is often considered a duty not a privilege. Unfortunately, there are only two major political parties, which do not always provide the voters with candidates whose beliefs and values coincide with the majority of U. S. citizens. The United States is one of the most progressive countries in the world. Yet when it comes to politics, change is minimal.…
Instead the news is comprised of the bad things in the world; the things that make people stock up for an apocalypse, become shut ins, and force people to become paranoid about every little thing. It’s not that there aren’t happy things happening around the world, but the media knows that people react more to things that evoke fear. Business Week says, “But make no mistake that whatever you choose to eat, do, or believe in, people will keep trying to scare you.” This quote shows that there is no way to get away from the hysteria and fear mongering. Looking at the news today, there are several articles and posts about the Zika Virus and ISIS.…
Media Ruining Our Lives The Media is ruining peoples lives because kids get distracted, others ignore their friends or even family in public, and just about anyone can be endangered by fake people being online. This applies to all media, social media, the news, television, etc… We rely on technology so much because of social media, you get a bunch of people to like one thing and next thing you know everyone wants it (iPhones, Android, T.V. shows). The news televises everything, an important story comes up about someone important, and you can bet you will be able to find out the person's name, where they live a lot of important information that jeopardizes our security.…
