Pornography





Critical Reflection :

Pornography is the explicit depiction of sexual subject matter with the sole intension of sexually exciting the viewer. It is to a certain extent similar to erotica, which is the use of sexually arousing imaginary. Every human being will go trough their puberty stages. In that mean time process, teenagers are having changes in controlling their behaviour such as exploring new things that they haven't explored, socializing with new group of friends and etc. For instance, x-rated movies or pornography magazines are made for adults to satisfy themselves in spite of under age people. Although they knew about it, all under age community inclined to take a risk to view them hushly.

TOPIC 2 - Games Under Attack : Addiction and Violence




SAMPLE OF VIDEO GAMES.

Critical Reflection :

Video games is famous among kids especially that plays between 8-12 years old. This is the part where the children are growing up and anxiously wants to know everything new. Based on page 156-157 of Introduction to Mass Communication : Media Literacy and Culture, what i understand from the comments is video games may cause a lot of negative effects towards video gamers. These cannot be blame on the publisher but also comes from the parental guides too. For instance, a child has a game consoles, PC's and etc that their parents has bought for them but parents need to guide on how to filter or managing the purposes of having it. Lack of positive guideline may cause the changing of personality in video gamers too. In Grand Theft Auto IV, for example, gamers can drive drunk, run down innocent by standers, hire and murder prostitutes, and commit unspeakable violence.

Rumors, lies and innuendo spread far, wide, and fast on the Internet. Taken from "Introduction to Mass Communication: Media Literacy and Culture" by Stanley Baran, pg 324.


Critical Reflection :

In my opinion,i don't take whats is on the internet is true because i'm curious the credibility of the writer. Based on comic strip above, we can see that the son is being lied by the small kid based on the 'Official National News' blog that he currently approach with. Why i curious with the credibility of the writer because from the internet, we can't really know or see with our naked eye whether the content is the finest from the finest author. Every infomation that we have is better for us to diffrentiate other sources of the same topic.
Next, in internet there's too many information that we can utilize but are they the fresh ones? All writer must have their sources to make up a story. The genuinity of the source is by making a research, travel to the place that you are investigating and etc. True story is balck and white or recorded. Make up stories by listening from mouth to mouth is not valid because every conversation from each person will be containing diffrent stories.
