Assignment 3

1. What does the video say about how media influence works on individual people?
The media cultivates and forms ideas in our minds that manipulate our actions and behaviors. Advertisements in videos or newspapers, for instance, make us believe that the product they're selling is the best even if it isn't. Also, editors in their articles focus on certain topics that influence our ways of thinking on it. We are framed to tell the stories we read or hear in a certain manner that we give the bad guy or good guy role to certain people without considering others.
 
 
2. What is your favorite fact pointed out in the video? Explain why this fact is important or interesting to you?
My favorite fact pointed out is that more than fifty percent of the world population is less than thirty years of age. This is interesting because the amount of adults are decreasing. Today's youth will be the rulers of tomorrow and their population is growing really quickly. Young people are becoming experts in fields of adults at a quicker pace.



3. How is multimedia effecting our daily lives? Do you think there such a thing as "too much media" in our lives?
Social media is really affecting our daily lives, for example, because we are not connecting physically with on another. We prefer to talk to a machine instead of talking in person to our neighbor. Also, media makes us think in a certain way only. Editors can manipulate information so that we only learn about certain incidents or topics and not all topics. They want us to think in a certain way only and not look at the big picture.
