Blog Assignment topic 2

Here is a comic strip entitled "Rumors, lies and innuendo spread far, wide, and fast on the Internet." taken from "Introduction to Mass Communication: Media Literacy and Culture" by Stanley Baran, pg 324.

Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it? If yes, why? If no, why? Discuss this in your own words.

the critical thinking on the media effects

First of all , i do admit that internet became one of our main source of information. Most of the students, including myself are not even bother to take an effort to go to the library , or bookstore to find an information that they need. The easiest way to find an information is on the internet. But, not all informations on the internet are true. There are a lot of websites that we can search. We can get the information in just one click. We can just "google" or "wiki" to search what we want. We also know that all the information on the internet cannot be trusted 100 percent. This is because, all the information provided are reliable. The information is based on the writer's opinion and the facts also can be change. Most of the article written on the unreliable blogs or websites are just to take the readers atention by creating a fake and controversial issues.

But, not all information on the websites are not true. There are several of websites can be trusted such as a news websites, CNN,BBC, The Star Online and many more. For example, last week i've tried to search on the topic of Gaza. There are some of the information are true but some of them are not. So, we as a human being, can think which is good and true, and which is not.

the reflection on the media culture class

This week class was conducted by Mr.Razi Bedu . He was elaborating about media effects and that media cannot be trusted 100 percent. This topic made me realise all these things. Before this, i don't even bother about the thing that we suppose to know for example about the topic given by the lecturer. This media culture class made my mind to wake up and think about those kind of issues. Back to the topic, sometimes, the news are not true because only based on the writer's opinion. Lastly, this topic is a good topic anyway :)

critical reflection on the topic given

On my first time wacthing this video, seriously i don't understand what is all about. i have to watch it several of time. after watched it few many times, finally i understand. social media had   been such a great impact on one's life. after saw the topic about social media, the first thing that came to my mind was myspace, facebook, friendster, and yahoo messenger. these social   media had me been so addicted to check my friend's updated profiles, pictures, and many more. even their mood. this is a perfect for everyone to communicate with their friends and other  people.The social media is actually quite wide in this world. class With these social network profiles, make our life a most easier to communicate among friends and sharing info and new about events. We can skip all the mess to call everyone one by one, instead just post about the news on my social profiles and have everyone look at it.

personal reflection on the media culture class.

At the first place, i dont really understand what media culture is. The topic that caught my attention in class the most was how persuasive social media could be in giving information and sharing-delivering idea. Seriously, i dont even care about this media or technology stuff eventhough i'm using it everyday in my whole life. Luckily in this media culture class, the lectures had done a good job by making us feel how important the media is. thank you for that. :)
