Media impact on daily life

Posted on by

Media communicate information to a large audience through television, radio, newspaper and internet. They make market product sellable by publishing videos and magazines about it which improve the economy in countries. They create a difference in gender with television shows and impact a wide range of both girls and boys who cares about their appearance. They improve relationship between people and spread cultures all around the world with messages and TV shows.

To promote the development of a product made by a company, media play an essential role in that area. They make advertisements to promote that product. The advertisement goal is to persuade the audience that this product is good and to make it sellable. This advertisement will impact the economy of companies in a positive way if it is successful and in a negative way which can result to bankrupt of companies. Companies economic budget lies on Medias. An example of advertisement would be if a broadcasting company films a country which is affected by food crisis, their goal is to persuade people to either help these people or find solutions to stop this crisis. Another reason would be to promote their company and their TV show.

Media have a huge impact on girls and boys especially when it comes to appearance. Media makes magazines about celebrities which is benefit for them but also for teens. Girls look at magazines or TV shown about mode, their appearance is influenced by media and so is their way of interacting in social media and with friends. Both girls and boys uses media to interact with friends and to look at reviews that can help them improve their appearance and relationship with friends and families.

Media create a connection between people of all around the world. Media inform us about what is happening in the world and about how it works else where in the world. Compared to the last century, we have the ability to view the world through televisions and staying at home. It can help us interact with other people around the world and to be understanding toward other cultures

Media itself is part of the society in which we live. Without media, we would not be able to communicate with other people around the world and we would have less opportunities to understand cultures.

“The child who wanted to be a fisherman”

 Long ago, very long ago in a village of fishermen, lived an orphan name Sam who was banned from the village because he was the only survivor of a deadly disease which killed many people including Sam’s family. The village chief did a tourney in the village and recorded the number of dead people. He made a list of the house that were affected by that epidemic disease. Thus all the number of dead people were recorded, when the chief arrived in Sam’s house, he was sitting in a bench and playing with an innocent mind. He was accused for sending the epidemic and was banned from the village. He lived in a cave on the other side of the village. He learned how to live by himself and every day, he kept on watching youth fishermen go to the river with their fishing net. He stayed in his cave waiting for the fishers to come back from their expedition early in the morning. This was the only thing that made him forget his melancholy. He was dreaming about the day when he will also be going down the hill with his net on the arm and going to fish and coming back with a net full of fishes of all kind. He aways believed in his dream, in the evening, he watch the sky full of stars full with dreams. He later go back to sleep in his loneliness. At the age of 14, he made his first net and went down the hill to fish. He stayed at the edges of the river, he did not catch anything for his first try. He decide to come back the next day and try, unfortunately he still did not catch any fish. He did not give up and kept on trying. Sam questioned his method of fishing and decided to change it. He invented a fishing cane and became the most popular fisherman of his village.

“Never give up on your dream, there is always something that can emerge at the last second”The moral of this story is:

  • “Believe in your abilities”
  • “Don’t look down on yourself”

Connection with Twitter expert

Posted on by

In my digital Citizenship class, we have been tasked to follow 10 experts in the area we chose to get some information about our Genius hour project. My Genius hour project is about “Graffiti” but mainly focused about it evolution over years. My first assignment was to follow 10 people who are either authors/professors or artist and to add them to a list. After that, we had to send a tweet to each expert.  These experts are people who draw graffiti. Here are 10 of the experts that I followed.

@hiregraffiti, @manOneArt, @iambobzilla, @tomokeefe, @streetartnews, @ArtatBerlin, @imcorinnemec, @Flow1oner, @DZIAAIZD, @HEBRUBRANTLY. Some of these experts graffiti are really old and each of them have something to do with an event that occurred. The work  they made can help me demonstrate how graffiti evolved over years. I first commented some of their work and then I requested help from them by asking some questions. By getting some request from them, I can use them either as pictures for my Genius Hour project, but also to show the chronological evolution of graffiti. Here are some of the experts who I sent tweets.

Hey! Thanks for sharing the graffiti, It helped me find different sources of Graffiti origins. hope to get more information. @hiregraffiti                                                                                                                                                                        Hey! The Aladdin you made is nice. I need help with the pictures i’ll use for my GH, can you give me some suggestions.thanks @GraffitiLife                                                                                                                                                      Hey! I’m doing a project about the evolution of graffiti over time. Can you give me some suggestions. Thanks @Flow1Oner.

However, out of all the tweets I sent, I only received some assistance from the expert @iambobzilla, he suggested me a blog where there are a lot of graffiti (). I continued the conversation him but did not get any response. @ArteyMuros followed me back, I sent him a message asking him questions but he did not respond and other experts only favored my tweets.

Although I did not get the help I needed, I will still use some of the pictures in the blog that one of the expert requested to me. This was my first experience and I did not get good results, but as they say “you learn from your mistakes”. I learned a lot of things from this process and if I get to do it another time, I will definitely do better.
