[vvp/teen] Digital Media
Hey guys, im just here blogging. During today's session at Global Kids, we talked about digital media and how its portrayed on television. How some commericals and digital media gives everybody a different interpretation of the world. Sometimes how the media tries to hide the negatives of a certain topic and it persuades the veiwers to purchase products like cigarettes and other drugs. They would sometimes show all the positives like a persson smoking for years and years and nothing ever happened to them. The fact that some products get celebrities to help sell their products makes it even worse because this would really make people think its cool because the celebrity is doing it too. People want to be like celebrities and some are role models. Thats not a good example to set. Also the way they expres the message they're trying to send out to everybody also has a big influence on selling products. Anyways, the Global Kids program has been really great. I've been learning a lot about the world, global issues, and how different each country's technology is. I am really having a great time and i hope everybody is enjoying it too. See everyone on thursday!!
