What have I learned about myself and Media?

     I have learned that media is all around us. It can affect the choices we make and the lifestyle

we live. Media is on the radios we listen to, the TV we watch and the internet we surf. I think

most of us have seen or heard a ad on one of my three examples.

 

Am I free of media influence?

    I think adds do sometimes affect us. For example, adds can affect us by the lifestyle we live.

 Like beer commercials, they try and make you think if you drink a certain type of beer, it will

make you cooler. For another example, in the ski world, companies use "beautiful people" to

get younger kids to ski on their skis. For a final example, ads on the internet like that never

ending "FREE IPOD" ad can appeal to many kids because iPods are a popular product in

the kid's world. The "secret" company is using bribery to get kids interested in their

company.

 

How can I increase my freedom from media control?

    There are many ways I can increase my freedom from the media. One way is to take some

time off from the TV. In every commercial, there is going to be ads.
