Media companies often own each other and work in collaboration to set a certain vision and manipulate society to reflect and strive for perfection by their standards. By having this power media companies are taking control of the moral education of the children in society.
@SamanthaDavid22 I think the Idea of dreaming big was an important message but I think with Disney where it is lost is in the dreams being an unrealistic of world standards
The documentary shows how movies, TV shows, and other types of media create a set of ‘ideals’ of what perfection is and what society should be like, and the way we are teaching children unconsciously at such a young age to glorify and compare themselves to these standards.
I have noticed when talking to others the term 'feminism' can cause some eye rolls but when spoken in terms of 'gender equality' it seems everyone is on board. #lesson10
Technology gives us the illusion of freedom. This is because although it gives us a platform to learn, engage, and discover there is also a set of moral and ethical code that must be followed.
I love being able to share different articles with friends and family and keep them in the loop with what I'm doing even though we live in different parts of the world! #Lesson2
No, you can't have an excellent education without global collaboration. I say this because a wider perspective allows us to form more in-depth opinions on educational topics.
@Spinman307 LOVE THIS QUOTE, if social media is going to be incorporated into education, those delivering our courses have to be knowledgeable and understand these platforms.
The evolution of technology has enabled humans to communicate with each other instantaneously, allowing for easier access to information. Technology also gives us access to more information which can affect multiple social institutions.
Need to figure how education on technology can be taught in a manner so that it can be applied in different circumstances as well as our knowledge be updated as technology and media continually advances!?
@rblizard1997 I totally agree if media is used correctly it is an amazing tool that can really improve the way in which we learn and understand new concepts!
I subscribe to Kozma's argument that it is not media or the user alone which affects how media is used, but how they are used together, and how can we make this use more effective
