Our cultural experience are affected by the mass communication, if we may look how much time we spend on TV set for example.We tend to spend large amounts of our time in a range of media, because television has the power to recognise how we spend our time, but we have to look how its change our perception and cultural identity.How we perceive what we see on media, for instance a message that is anticipated for high culture and that is meant for low culture ( Urban versus Rural).
They are movies that define certain society for example famous movie known as Tsotsi which was based on human circumstances to overcome obstacle, but where else drama such Yizo Yizo was seen as promoting violence in some certain societies. where else do you agree with this argument, "that Media exposure to pornograph causes viewers to display specific attitude towards women.
Media is capable on making assumptions about audiences that are based on conceptual ideas of what people are like, rather than how they really are, for example look any glamour magazine and you can see what the makers of those texts think men and women should look like. Think of any advert on TV where they advertise something, notice that there is always power behind it, but people's feedback on media shown that mass media is seen as a facts of life, for example people nowadays consider something from Internet or in a newspaper as truth, regardless of the source.
Mass media has a persuasive power over us, Newspapers, Radio, TV can manipulate whole societies cause debate and concern. The media and mass communications have interacted and mixed with pre-exsting cultures, forms, and values. People need to acknowledge what media portray, and take media as a dissemination of information, and stick to what you belief and acknowledge unknown sources from the media before you take a step. Is not late to challenge Media perspective sooner or later it will affect us and the coming generation.www.cliffsnotes.com/study.../topicArticleId-26957,articleId-26946.ht..
The power of MEDIA has already affected us and up coming generation is on the say track we at- we do not see things as they are but we see them as we are, take my word our culture is vanishing a bit by bit because we spend time on media than practicings it.

ReplyDeletethats true.thanks for your comment
Deletewe need to look the impact of the media in to two ways: positive way (constructive) and negative way(desruptive).i agree that the media has the power on our perception and on our cultures.most ads convinced women on how they should be;and they tend to believe them.
ReplyDeleteyep as the television has recognise how much time we spend on TV, the impact of the media is going far beyond.
DeleteI have a quastion for you,Is it okay for parents to let their teenagers get information from Media only and apply it in their lives? for exmple watching a soapie and conducting their lives as if they are TV stars.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that media must tell us how to live.
Actual parents must not allow their childrens get information from the media, one big issue for media usually uses unknown sources in most of their stories,
Deletemedia is an infuence, although TV make family bond but not TV stars
no, media wont teach you how to live, media no nothing about culture... this is our elder's responsibility not media, all they know is feeding us rotten info, sometimes!

DeleteI like your topic and I must say that I feel that television is some sort of brain-wash because it either over do it or tells litle facts.I feel South African should stick to Newspaper, just to improve our reading.
ReplyDeleteGuys a culture can't die it evolves with the people who practice it.No-matter how much lil wayne or AKA talk about how much money they have or how they sleep with twenty different girls we as the youth know these lifestyles are not ours. Look at black Americans for instance they where removed from their homes and traditions as slaves but they created a newer culture a culture that has taken the world by storm even white people wanna be black I say let television brain-wash the youth but sooner or later they will realize what is fake and what is real.
