Depending on the story this could lead to some trouble. People might get scared and panic. This will lead to people doing bad things. It would only make it worse if these actions were taken with wrong information. Another issue would be does a specific media conglomeration have their own separate agenda?
I was naïve enough years ago to believe the same. But that is far from the truth. For instance Atlanta a city that is only about 530 miles from my house is taking claim of being one of the biggest underage sex trafficking cities in the United States. A local teen group recently came together to make awareness of this issue stating facts that 500 girls are trafficked in Atlanta each month, servicing 7200 men
The publicity of the case and the one-sided role of the media caused a majority of people, internationally, to be biased and influenced. This impact then led to numerous problems and difficulties in being treated fairly, such as finding an impartial jury. This factor of having preconceived idea meant that the jury had already decided Lindy Chamberlain’s fate, opposing the justice being “served,” legitimately. Wiping away any chance for Lindy Chamberlain to prove her innocence creates an inevitable outcome. The Chamberlains being judged under a heavily biased jury influenced by the media, therefore shows the maltreatment of the case by the justice system and the society.
It actually taught me something, the importance of words. It taught me that everything you say affects other people, because some things are so easy to believe and that they affect what some people think. Although many advocates persuade their listeners by using statistics, they sometimes use facts that are not entirely true. This is a fact, and it is a method used to brain wash people and to catch their attention. Although it is affective, it
“Is talk Cheap” “Don’t believe everything you hear of read”, a common quote to help us pick truth out of information. Information is available to us in many forms, like television, internet, radio, newspapers, books and so on. But before accepting certain types of information we are constantly bombarded with, it comes down to the individuals’ beliefs and perception of processing that information. Humans like to be right, the feeling of being right, so anything that is in likeness to their beliefs distort factual thinking. Some humans don’t like to think thoroughly and the brain snaps to the more suggestive decision making process…information more suited to our liking.
2. What is ethnocentrism? In what ways can ethnocentrism be detrimental to a society? Ethnocentrism is the judging of another culture at first glance without truly knowing and then either already resent it or love it. It’s actually already harmful to the society because you
The more you read the more your views about a particular topic change. How do you know what you are reading is actually accurate? Reading is not the evil but reading unacceptable material is an evil. Unacceptable material consists of text that is written for some evil propaganda. Reading causes the brain to stop thinking rationally and rely on what we read.
Strengths of this study would include the large number of participants over various countries therefore a socio-cultural strength and more in depth data is produced. Another strength is the ability to access existing conditions or phenomena ethically. A weakness of this study would be using a self scale is unreliable as the participants might have a different approach on how intense the level of disgust is on the scale. Another weakness could be that there could be participants who have not taken the online survey seriously therefore altering the results. These results showed that because people find the pictures that harm our immune system more disgusting , we use the disgust gene as a protection against disease.
It often seems that there are headlines concerning affairs, theft, embezzlement, misrepresentation, drugs, etc. unfortunately, these are problems seen in our country with many people. The fact that our leaders are human is a part of their failure. I often wonder, however, if the pressure of leadership makes them more susceptible to a loss of self-control, or is it because they feel as though they are beyond reproach? I believe that anyone who is in a leadership role should understand that they will be scrutinized more closely than those who are not.
Although, media mostly responds to the negative stories, they cover the positive ones too. The media can influence society by proving more coverage when people in all cultures and races come together in certain situations to help with the act of kindness. For example, during an event that someone needs help all people come together to help regardless of race, ethnicity, color, religion, or other factors. The media is also coming out with more television shows and movies that portray actors of all nationalities, sexual orientations, gender, beliefs, and culture that once were prohibit. These shows and movies help the acceptance into society.
