Media In Politics...

The media completely influences us...because of it, we are the way we are, we make famous people with or without talent, and basically more people now more about the pop culture, than about important things such as politics, economics issues, and the situation of our world. Media totally influences me, the way I think, and what things I like and dislike because we want to fit in a world in which we are accepted by what the media and other people want us to be, but not by who we truly are. Visual communications are, in my opinion, the biggest influence in our everyday decisions because if we see an add of something with someone famous, or a brand name, we would rather buy that instead of a no name/fame less brand, even if the name/fame less brand might be better/cheaper than the name brand. That is a good thing for companies, but it sort a messes up our trully decision making process because even if we like something that is not cool or popular, we rather get something that we dont like in order to fit in and belong in a group that is accepted by society and the media. I personally think that media should use its power on us in a way to help us, our planet, and our future because we are destroying more our culture, our own people, and sadly, our own planet.

Media presence on politics is just big when they can get something out of it and they dont really focus on the main importance of politics, which I think is a better future for us and our country, but they just focus in making the president, senator, w/e, into a popular icon so that he/she can get more votes an win...without even really convincing us if he/she is worth our vote and our will to give him/her our future in their hands. I found the video a little different, but it went straight to the point... YOUNG PEOPLE DO NOT REALLY KNOW ABOUT POLITICS. Sadly i belong to that group. We dont really care about politics because we cant do anything about it, at least that is my opinion, and I would rather listen to a pop culture news rather than a politics news. The media should try to focus more in the real issues of our society, rather than which celebrity has more money, looks better, is going to have a comeback, was on a sex video, and so on because we do not really attain anything from that information; just knowing stupid facts.
