My Last Personal Reflection

This is my the last personal reflection of min , anyway this week i learned an unsurprising yet unrealized fact that technology is powerful and that it can influence the great minds of humans. I also got to know that most culture ,example like the internet culture is created by technology itself.
As a conclusion , Technology is important and powerful.....

The Possibilty of Reshaping Culture Via Technology and How....?

The possibility of reshaping culture via technology is high , because people can easily be influenced by technology because of their believe in it . How? Internet is one of technology's biggest product and currently is the most important tool for more than millions of people in the world including me , who is using the internet to write in this blog , back to the matter in hand . Internet is the fastest way and the most simplest way of technology to reshape culture , it could even create or destory culture itself .

Culture Influenced by Technology....?

These days , technology plays a big and important role in everyone life in making their lives easier or to some , making it better . Technology as an important element in our life can influence many types of culture into our lives . The internet culture is one of the main culture that technology has influenced to people . Through this culture , the internet culture , the usage and gained of the internet itself has increase rapidly and is still increasing . Since there are many advantages , people don't give it a second thought thus the increase in usage . People seem to look at it as a tool that can be used to simplify their lives . Although there might be some disadvantages which are found in every sort of thing , people seem to like using it . If this keeps up , the usage of internet will increase to levels beyond imaginations .

Personal Reflection

Through this week I have been doing some research on media imperialism ,and found out that media imperialism is widely happening in our country . Big superstores like Giant , Tesco and Carrefuor are taking over and monopolizing the small community shops , preventing them to run their business . Other than that in the aspects of culture , it too has been influenced deeply due to the screening of movie in cinema and reality shows on the television which are often watched by teenagers .

The Connection between the information given from the lecture and the documentary .(critical thinking)

Media imperialism as we all know clearly happened and even now is currently is happening . In a shorter version , media imperialism is sharks and fishes , smaller countries represent the fishes , the fall prey to bigger countries in the aspects of media industries and they also cause force-feeding of media due to the intense power of the bigger country . As we have watched in the documentary , we have learned that a few great minds of the past have predicted and tried to prevent media imperialism from happening . In the aspects of economy , large superstores move in and sell their products in a much cheaper price , causing the smaller community shops to either sell their shop or close down .

Personal Reflection

This week I learned about the effects of media tools on media . You tube was the example i choose , I oso learned that there are other media tools like the You tube which hae deep effects on the media . Facebook is another example of an effective media tool , Facebook bring not only the society closer , it also bring people from other country closer . Other than that it creates a new gate way for people to make friends with other people frm other state or country or even for people to find their long lost relations .
