EVOLUTION OF MEDIA

The evolution of media, from old media to new media, has transformed the way we understand the world around us. New media is interactive and is user-generated while old media is a more traditional way of communicating through television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, etc. New media gives us a new perspective by allowing us to interact with one another through the Internet. Media has become much more personal and diverse as user-generated content becomes more prominent in our lives. We are exposed to various viewpoints that shape our understanding and knowledge of the social world, but does the form of media actually affect the way we understand the content which is presented to us? For my paper, I will determine whether or not the medium is the message by analyzing two different types of media sources and how they affect our understanding of the content. For my old media source, I have chosen a news clip from the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric that deals with the ongoing Egyptian uprising. For my new media source, I have chosen a video blog, or ‘vlog’, by an Egyptian man named Omar who discusses the crisis in Egypt from a personal point of view. Both media sources deal with the same topic but result in different understandings of the crisis. Although both mediums focus on the same issue there are a lot of differences between the two.

      Media fulfills several basic roles in our society. One obvious role is entertainment. Media can act as a springboard for our imaginations, a source of fantasy, and an outlet for escapism. In the 19th century, Victorian readers disillusioned by the grimness of the Industrial Revolution found themselves drawn into fantastic worlds of fairies and other fictitious beings. In the first decade of the 21st century, American television viewers could peek in on a conflicted Texas high school football team in Friday Night Lights; the violence-plagued drug trade in Baltimore in The Wire; a 1960s-Manhattan ad agency in Mad Men; or the last surviving band of humans in a distant, miserable future in Battlestar Galactica. Through bringing us stories of all kinds, media has the power to take us away from ourselves.

     The media can also provide information and education. Information can come in many forms, and it may sometimes be difficult to separate from entertainment. Today, newspapers and news-oriented television and radio programs make available stories from across the globe, allowing readers or viewers in London to access voices and videos from Baghdad, Tokyo, or Buenos Aires. Books and magazines provide a more in-depth look at a wide range of subjects. The free online encyclopedia Wikipedia has articles on topics from presidential nicknames to child prodigies to tongue twisters in various languages. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has posted free lecture notes, exams, and audio and video recordings of classes on its OpenCourseWare website, allowing anyone with an Internet connection access to world-class professors.

     Another useful aspect of media is its ability to act as a public forum for the discussion of important issues. In newspapers or other periodicals, letters to the editor allow readers to respond to journalists or to voice their opinions on the issues of the day. These letters were an important part of U.S. newspapers even when the nation was a British colony, and they have served as a means of public discourse ever since. The Internet is a fundamentally democratic medium that allows everyone who can get online the ability to express their opinions through, for example, blogging or podcasting—though whether anyone will hear is another question.

ABORTION: is a guilt of human labor.

Abortion is a highly controversial issue that is affecting our society. People feel that abortion is evil because it is killing an unborn child. On the other hand, people believe it is a woman's constitutional right to choose, but if one were to end an innocent child's life is not only unethical and inhumane, but it is also morally wrong.

That abortion is the killing of a human being, which defies the word of God, spoken from the Bible. In where the Bible states that “Thou shalt not kill,” in Exodus 20:13. In all countries around the world and among peoples, a natural instinct or an unwritten tradition placed murder among the worst crimes, and made its penalty death. According to the Bible, there is no fine line or conclusion drawn between a fetus or a baby. Women are murdering their developed children and lying to themselves while doing it so that they feel better about it. The truth is, there is no way around it. They cannot make the fact that they are inhumanely killing an innocent child just go away. Each abortion deprives an innocent baby of a full life. Think about this, each person who supported slavery was never a slave… and every person who is for abortion wasn't murdered and got to live.

Our world today is full of unsolved, decisive and controversial issues. Most of them relate to our morals, ethics, and religion, thus creating a very strong yes’ or no’, or good’ and bad’ side. Therefore to any person who is for abortion or is contemplating having one of her own, think about this, everyone who is alive got the chance to live and experience wonderful things.

Discrimination

      Discrimination is one of the common issue on our generation. Keeping or making distinction towards others according to their sex, gender identity, body shape, race, age, record, status, nationality, disability, religion, genetic characteristics, ethnicity or telling between right or wrong. It also feels like you are worse you think you are and some can also lead to depression, suicidal and other mental disorders that may cause you to be suicidal.

      Discrimination has long been a fascinating and frustrating subject for social science. Fascinating because it is a powerful mechanism underlying many historical and contemporary patterns of inequality; frustrating because it is elusive and difficult to measure. Over a century of social science interest in the question of discrimination has resulted in numerous techniques aimed to isolate and identify its presence, and to document its effects. Below I consider some of the dominant methods used to study discrimination, examining their primary contributions as well as their possible limitations. In thinking about each of these methods, the primary question we seek to answer is: How do we really know when or where discrimination is at work?

      To some, discrimination is as easy to spot as a train wreck in daylight. We notice subtle cues in the ways others are treated around us, or in the ways we ourselves are treated. The curt exchange with the shop clerk, the security guard who keeps a watchful eye, the cab driver who doesn’t stop. Whether due to age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, or any other stigmatized identity, most of us can think of at least one instance in which we, or someone close to us, was treated unfairly on the basis of a single status distinction. In these instances, it doesn’t take a social scientist to certify the case as discrimination.

                                                 ( BULLYING )

Bullying occurs in different ways and for different reasons……..others bullies might be popular but thoughtless.

Middle school can be tough: switching classes, learning locker combinations, more challenging coursework. It’s also where the most bullying begins. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, about 49 percent of children in grades four to 12 reported being bullied by other students at least once a month, and 31 percent of children reported being the ones who bullied.

BULLYING IS A DISTINCTIVE PATTERN OF HARMING AND HUMILIATING OTHERS ,SPECIFICALLY THOSE WHO ARE IN SOME WAY SMALLER.IT IS A FORCE COERCION OR THREAT TO ABUSE, AGGRESSIVELY DOMINATE OR INTIMIDATE.

Gamers be warned!

Over the past few years online games has been usual to us teenagers. Many are already addicted to it already, and to be honest I myself is addicted too. Though it has been already part of our daily habit, many still lack the knowledge about the effects gaming addiction does. So as one of this individuals, I decided to study about it and figure out the common reasons why we’ve been addicted.

Now I learned that the main reason why individuals get attached to this stuff is because they’re playing with another individual. “Gamers tend to compete” with one another, showing off which one is more better at the field of playing. Also with another player, they can feel the tension rising in the air because they are against an opponent which is capable of thinking. Another good reason is because “they can’t pause the game”. All online games probably, if a player interacts with another player the game cannot be stop anymore. This is the most probable reason why you can’t disturb gamers. Last on my list is because of “proving something”, many individuals play a game out of loneliness in which case make them weary to continue to play when socialization in person occurs. Others tend to stick to the game because of a goal, for an example an achievement in the game, trying to beat someone and proving they’re good. Many reasons are still out their but I guess this is the most precise.

I am also a gamer, I was addicted to it before, but I changed at the time a realize that it was slowly effecting my life. Though gaming can make us avoid life problems it doesn’t mean it can fix it. So as for now, I encourage you not to play.
