@shanghanaxox I understand your point of view because racism and stereotypes have been prevalent in our society for years.

[ash_ortiz0431 @aortiz0431]

@elaine720e I agree, Do the Right Thing (1989) made me feel angry because of the racism depicted. The irony in the film astonishes me; how the victims of stereotypes also spew out stereotypes.

After watching Do the Right Thing (1989), I felt mortified over the moments of racism I observed in this film. Breaking the fourth wall with stereotypes was an important moment in this piece of cinema to depict the ugliness of racism. #Media1802D06

@ejazarwa they cannot form their own opinions or ideas about the society and government they live with and in.

@ejazarwa I agree, censorship hinders the ability of an individual to learn more about the topics that are being discussed. Without being a part of that discussion due to regulations by the FCC,

@esth3rrr_ I agree, media literacy is a skill that everyone should be able to build in order to conceptualize topics rather than being fed what the FCC believes is appropriate. It is up to the individual to control their personal consumption of information.

(3/3) it does not allow the individual a chance to learn and form their own opinions about an issue.

(1/3) The Internet is an essential part of our democratic government because it allows people to speak freely without regulation. Freedom of speech protects an individual’s right to say things that are disagreeable by other people and so,

(2/3) policing by the FCC would not allow for expressions of opinions. The ability to conceptualize topics discussed on the internet is a skill that needs to be practiced and built. Society’s media literacy would not improve with the addition of the FCC’s supervision because

This is an advertisement for a perfume. The target audience would most likely be for parents of children who want to celebrate mother’s day. The childish drawing suggests that it would be a cute and thoughtful gift from a child to gift their mothers.

@tinachen5448 The “fuel up” reference also suggests that this fast food is good for you because of the saying, “food is fuel”. It would seem beneficial to get food from this company because you would be able to “fuel up” fast and easy.

@mediiatwt The scene implies a peaceful atmosphere and result from drinking the tea. The swing set above the ground could also symbolize feeling free.

Whether an individual likes to crochet while another likes to play basketball, a channel dedicated to solving mysteries could bring them together. (3/3)

Cable has brought communities together by becoming an activity that people could enjoy together even if they have different interests. In some ways, cable has brought together communities by finding a common ground, or a common interest. (1/2)

[ash_ortiz0431 @aortiz0431]

The variety of channels help the community choose things they are interested in and can enjoy together, forming a connection and building relationships. These benefits of the cable involve a togetherness that may not have been possible or established before. (2/3)

[ash_ortiz0431 @aortiz0431]

@Milkshake_202 I agree with you completely because its hard to relate to other people if you are not interested in the same things. Cable created more opportunities for people to connect.

[ash_ortiz0431 @aortiz0431]

@sarahathunter I agree and believe that cable has helped individuals connect to one another after finding a “common ground”, or common interest. The variety of channels allows people to connect and share with one another with a wider range.

@tinachen5448 I agree with @NeeneH138 that social media platforms help to empower people into not only spreading awareness of social and political issues, but to act on them by sharing information about things they can do to help in the real world.

[ash_ortiz0431 @aortiz0431]

@julilations However, as participants of these platforms it’s our responsibility to think critically about the media we consume to identify bias and manipulation before we act on these issues and topics. (2/2)

[ash_ortiz0431 @aortiz0431]

@julilations I agree with @sarahathunter. Your points are valid and I agree with @julilations that misinformation comes easily with social media platforms. (1/2)
