Blog Questions

1. Which of the 8 rules of Media Literacy is illustrated in the Beauty and Body Image article? Why and how?
All Media is constructed. Gives us message of what's good in life.

2. The article on advertising to children is a great example of media constructing reality (#2 rule of Media Literacy). Can you think of an example of media constructed reality aimed at teens? Tell me what it is and how it constructs reality.
An example of media constructed reality aimed at teens is like a new song that was introduced by the radio. It construct to reality because most people are interested in music these days.

3. The commercial implications (#4) of media literacy are illustrated in The Economics of Ethnicity link. Do you think most media does a good job of showing what your real life is like? The number of minority people you see daily, the kinds of problems you have in real life, the way those problems get solved - are these things that you see in TV shows, movies and advertising?
Yes I think they do a good job advertising real life like situations and solving them because sometimes when I run into situations they have on t.v, most of the time I do what they do to solve the problem and it actually works.

  1. #1 is awfully brief. You don't really answer the question.
    #2 - I agree that music can help construct our reality. But what song are you talking about? What reality does it construct?
    3 - Again, the details. What situation can you use to illustrate?
