Personal Reflection

Through out this week I learned that one of the important thing needed now days is Media Literacy . This is in order to keep the productivity level increasing as all time based on the standars of the particular time .

Why is it important for me as a FCM student to have Media Literacy ??

I as a FCM student need to accessing, analyzing and evaluate and communicate information in a variety of formats so that I can produce better products .By analyzing the message i could understand more deeply about the message rather than knowing a fraction of it . The mass media affect how we perceive and understand the world and people around us so as a FCM student I need to have Media Literacy .New technologies also provide new opportunities for youth as media creators .As we approach the end of the 20th century people in the workplace as in their daily lives will increasingly need the information and communication skills necessary to live and work with multiple formats so the need of Media Literracty is important not only for me as a FCM sudent but to all students and workers.

WHAT is Media Literacy ??

Media literacy is the ability to accessing and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us every day. It's the ability to bring critical thinking skills to bear on all media .

Media stereotype that I have seen either on TV or in the movies?

When I was young I watched a lot of cartoons on television . Then i did not know stereotypes so I was blindly addicted to these cartoons . Even some times when I watch them now days I'm still addicted .

WHAT is Media Stereotype ??

Mass media became on of the main sources of popular culture in modern capitalist society. Media, however, not only entertains and offers news to people, but also transfers the stereotypes .A media stereotype is a preconceived idea that attributes certain characteristics to all the members of the media .

PERSONAL REFLECTION ON THE MEDIA CULTURE CLASS

This week I learned that internet currently could be the best source of information but not everything in it is true . At times we should question the truth of a certain fact that is obtained from the internet since the source that the information is obtained might be fake or improper . The lack of realizing that certain information obtained is false ,provides us with wrong facts .

Do WE often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it ??? (CRITICAL THINKING)

Yes, majority of times we don't even bother to question whether the fact provided is true or false . This is because we are too dependent towards the internet till when we receive any sort of information and accept it as the truth with out even thinking a moment about it . This could lead to false information giving and other bad effects.

Do WE often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it ??? (CRITICAL THINKING)

Yes, we as humans are easily influenced depending on the source we get the information from. For instance , Wikipedia . What ever information that seems to be shown in that website , we seems to believe it as truth without thinking much about it because we assume that the source of the information is reliable . Trust on websites like Wikipedia or on other information giving websites makes us become blind to the lies which are shown in the internet .

PERSONAL REFLECTION ON THE MEDIA CULTURE CLASS

Through the media culture class , much could be gained other than what is taught by the lecturer. I have gained interest on knowing about the past because of the lesson learned in the media culture class. Over the period of a week which was week, I learned a lot based on Social Media on what it does to the society by doing so research . Unsurprisingly I found out that currently, there are growing amount of social media applications and most of it is used using the internet . Other than that I also learned that there is an increasing amount of usage of social media now days . This informations were presented to me through a long and deep research . I hope that i would learn more in this class other than what i have already learn .
