[VVP/teen] Workshop on 1/9/07
Toady in Global Kids we got more in depth with the term media literacy. We had a busy afternoon discussing about the concepts of media literacy such as audiences negotiate meaning in the media, commercial implications, subliminal messaging, social and political implications, content, and its unique aesthetic form. I believe that media literacy is very important because it happens everyday and there are examples being shown in movies, shows, and commercials. People who are more aware of this concept have the power to manipulate these contents to support a cause. As the world tries to adapt to technology, they are somewhat being manipulated to do a ceratin thing in what commercialism is intended to do. The power of media literacy is a very big factor in our cause to raise awareness throughout the entire world.
