ironic-ness
Oct 19 2006, 10:43 PM EDT
i think the ironic thing about this unit is the fact that teenagers these days seem to always say that they ARNT effected by the media. i know ive said that and corrected myself after. Plus i agree with ashlee when she says that the media gives us our identities...such as...well apperently most people have their own theme or whatever. like....gothic or ghetto and what not...a label! everyone has a label...and it seems in my eyes to come from the media. like...actors and the new stlyes and stuff. but im not really sure how thats ironic.... i suppose the ironic thing would be that its obvious to everyone that the media had so much power over us and all the things they say and do and tell us arnt true and its a bunch of crap, but we listen to it anyway....i believe thats the ironic thing. ( i think politically they have an influence over how we see war starvation poverty and democracy in the world as well...not just over fashion and the way we think about ourselves as a person...i just kinda noticed that!) Do you find this valuable? |
