Economic perspective is all about the money that is involve in media. Indeed, there are a lot of ways in media gain money from the audience. One of the vehicles where media uses to gain or to profit from the people is the advertisement. It fuels to sustain the product and be more alluring to the people. However, the challenge for us is to know and be aware how these things functions so that we will not be engulfed by the mass media and not be captured by the automatically that they would like to impart to us.

Lessons 9 & 10

Advertisement

The report on advertisement is a very nice report for it was more or less delivered well by the reporter. He tried to follow the indications and explain well his topic on us. Thus, I have learned something from his report unlike to the next reporter who really make bad report and made a mess in the class. However, when he reported to us the understanding that I gained from him is that we are all duty bound of what we do in our life, therefore, he says that we should always decide on what is good and avoid what is wrong for we are the one responsible for it.

On the Development of the mass media, I could say that the reporter made a very complicated slides and so he end up doing mess in the class. I cannot understand what he was trying to figure out in his report because I cannot read the text on his slides presentation. In addition, I cannot understand the way he delivered his report because it seems that it is not systematic, he just say something which is not necessary in his report. Unfortunately, I did not learn something from him instead he makes my head ache.

advertisement

Advertisements specifically shown on television have been a major influence on viewers’ opinion and preference. It became a powerful tool for products and even for people like the politicians who wants to reach out to the public. Television commercials are made simple yet it leaves an enormous mark on peoples mind. Take the example of a commonly used product like Colgate or Pampers, a customer would go to a store and ask for “Colgate na Close Up”. It is simply because advertisement manipulates human understanding that caused them to the erroneous comprehension of the things around them. And so upon reading the article I realized that as a consumer we should be more aware and attentive to the advertisement so that it will not manipulate, deceive, and not make us more dependent on the products which are not necessary in our day to day living. It also reminds us to be critical so that we will not be easily convinced by the advertisement for we are all duty bound of the things that we do in our life.

100 years of cinema

Today’s famous and fad among the youth is the cinema, as we can see every time that there are new movies that are shown to the public it is easily accepted and embraced by the people particularly the youth and the children. It is for the reason that it is so appealing to the eyes of the viewers and it awakens once emotions in such movies presented to us and we cannot but affected by it in some way.

AETATIS NOVAE

MASS MEDIA SHAPE OUR UNDERSTANDING AND WAY OF RELATING WITH OTHERS.
As we experience the rapid change of technology, we cannot but be amazed and affected by it psychologically, morally, and spiritually. It is for the reason that media, take part and gradually shape our way of understanding and our way of living. It also affects our way of looking at what is real and what is profane. Media, as I understand it, is a means for us to communicate and make our relationships with others intact. It also makes our tasks easy and comfortable with what we are doing. However, it helps me to know the reality outside the world where I stay and interact with and little by little widen my understanding and perspective about life and the happenings around me.
