In class we have been talking about the effects that the media has on us. I really enjoy subjects like this because they really keep you thinking. The Media shapes the way we think to a certain point. We believe most of the things shown to us on the News because we trust that they tell us the truth and they know this. The News keeps information form us and only tells us the thing they want to show.
The media tells us what we should buy, how success looks like, and how we should look. All this is controlled by the government. Have you ever looked up things that you wanted to buy on amazon or other places and when you went to YouTube or Facebook you saw a similar item that you could buy on the side of the screen where the ads are? If not you should keep this in mind.
Here are two of my favorite songs by System of a Down.
sugar and Hypnotize
Sugar has a little clip that relates to the News and how they keep things from us and Hypnotize talks about how simple mined we are when it comes to the media.
