Each one has its own purpose and you can use them for many different purposes but just like everything else they have their positive and negative features. Let me begin by saying blogger is my favorite social network aside from Facebook. In Blogger you can share your expertise pretty much with the whole world and be recognized for it. This is one of the good features and one of the negative features would be blogs take away the feeling of finding things on your own and they are not always accurate. Jumping onto Facebook my second best social network because you can connect with pretty much the whole world and can talk to different people across the globe, but one of the negatives features about Facebook is you pretty much do not have privacy and you are vulnerable for people to scam you or something. We also have twitter and the good thing is you can communicate with celebrities and bad thing is it is also very addictive and you are constantly checking your updates.…

    Media bias on issues and candidates. If the local media is heavily stacked in favor of say the liberal agenda then most of the things that are published or aired will be pro liberal on the issues and candidates.

    Media Essay

    Disney has impacted the lives of children for more than three decades now, and has been influencing the way they think even at a young age. It supports and actually created the idea of how different gender, race or age group should be treated. Unintentionally, we pick up morals from Disney of how to deal with certain gender groups. In addition, Disney has put women into different stereotypes that the representation of women and femininity is narrow in the media. Images of women did not change, women are still differently stereotyped and the different representations of the characters inside Disney leads to the narrow representation of women in the media.…

    Within the last few years British Cinema and Realism have been linked. “Realism began in the 1930’s with documentary films, and a prime example of this is with the ‘father of documentary’ John Grierson, who founded the British documentary movement and created classic films such as Drifters (1929), Industrial Britain (1933), Song of Ceylon (1934) and Night Mail (1936).”In which British Cinema depicting the daily lifestyles of working class citizens. Social Realism presents a tenacious raw and grim image of lifestyles explored by the working class. It is conventional for social realism to be filmed with natural lighting, as it help encode realism, with also de saturated colours as Social realism tends to deal with real life issues, as the mood of the media text typically tends to be negative.
