India’s response to the Western influence has been controversial because the elders believe that the youth are gravitating to the western culture and forgetting their Indian traditions. It is Indian culture to take care of those in their community. They do not have social security and making family bonds is extremely important to them. For example, the youth are so connected to social media sites, smart phones, brand name clothing and partying in night clubs according, to YouTube videos that are circling the World Wide Web. In the past, the youth stayed home and girls married young; however, this is no longer the case.…
The media is at our fingertips and accessible almost all hours of the day, of course it’s going to have an influence on the way people think and act. The issue is the negative messages that the media is presenting. Media’s power helps spread false information that cultivates racist beliefs and broadly speaking, a culture of hate and violence. One example is seen in social media and advancing technology. There are countless cases of photo shopped pictures, and innocent people are attacked for this false reality perpetuated by media. For example, there was a picture circulating, even some news websites used it, of a Sikh man who originally was holding his ipad but it was photo shopped to him holding the Qur’an with a bomb strapped to his chest.…
The American public view their country, the United States as a democracy, yet with such a large presence of mass media in modern American culture, has it in fact evolved into a mediaocracy? Whether it is on a billboard on one’s way to work or the magazine stacks on line at the supermarket, the media has essentially become inescapable. It is a part of the public’s everyday life, a source of entertainment, and a source of information on critical current events. But with the advancements in technology, has the media’s influence grown so large over modern day society that it has the power to shape culture and public opinion? The presence of the media now far exceeds its original purpose for public knowledge of current events and has crossed the boundary into defining popular culture and establishing the norm in modern day American society.…
Although media is not the reason why terrorism are growing, every move of those terrorists are somehow taking advantage of the media. The media stimulates the terrorist acts unconsciously, and those terrorists acts are using the media coverage to maximise their influence. The media should be selective when it comes to doing reports about terrorism, editors should be analytical about the coverage. The aim of media coverage is telling people the truth not creating fear. If the intervention of media is sensible and reliable, the spread of terrorist acts will be cut off soon.…

Today, more than ever the media plays a pivotal role in the ways in which Americans think and what they believe. Media can influence the masses in a number of different ways. Without the media it would be virtually impossible for the typical American citizens to be informed of today's events. But information is not always the media's goal. In fact, it rarely is. Many Americans feel that they can form opinions on there own. But, unknowingly opinion's are formed simply by what paper gets delivered to your door or what channel you watch. The views of the president are greatly affected by the media due to the overwhelming amount of coverage by every form of media.…

The purpose of this report is to consider the role of media in liberal democracies of the 21st century and to analyse if the ownership of media affects this role. Media can widely be defined as any media of communication. This report will focus more on the news aspect of media rather than the entertainment side. In considering the role of media, I will examine multiple arguments of the role. The media ownership will be taken from examples in Australia, United States and Britain. This report will firstly look at the role of the media and then analyse the effect of ownership on the role.…

1 Introduction In recent years, the notions of imperialism and capitalist empire have gained importance in critical globalization studies. This discourse forms the background and context for this paper. In the 20th century, the notion of imperialism has been primarily advanced by Marxist theorists, such as the classical theories of imperialism (Nikolai Bukharin, Karl Kautsky, Vladimir Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, etc.). Within this context, this paper deals with the question: Is the new imperialism an informational imperialism? My goal is to make a contribution to the new imperialism debate from an information-, media- and communication-studies perspective. The notion of imperialism employed is Lenin’s classical one, so the task becomes to analyse the role of the media in a contemporary reactualization of Lenin’s notion of imperialism. The main section of the paper is structured…
Cinema is meant and believed to entertain, to take the viewer to a world that is starkly different from the real one, a world which provides escape from the daily grind of life. Cinema is a popular media of mass consumption which plays a key role in moulding opinions, constructing images and reinforcing dominant cultural values. Hindi cinema has been a major point of reference for Indian culture in this century. It has shaped and expressed the changing scenarios of modern India to an extent that no preceding art form could ever achieve. It has influenced the way in which people perceive various aspects of their own lives. This paper deals with the representation of female in hindi mainstream cinema. There has been an attempt to examine the relationship between women and popular Hindi cinema. While cinema in India is in itself a diverse strand of expression incorporating mainstream cinema which holds popular appeal, art/parallel cinema that engages with social issues, middle cinema and regional language cinema. The explorations in this paper are limited to mainstream/popular Hindi cinema better known as ‘Bollywood’ because such cinema is seen to exercise widespread influence over people and enjoys mass appeal. Popular cinema and culture derive from each other. Films are believed to be the opium of the Indian masses as people rely on this medium to help them escape to a world of fantasy. In a very explicit way, cinema has shaped the cultural, social and political values of people of this country. While, the other forms of cinema are also important when it comes to the representation of women, restricting to popular cinema is the core concern.…
