In yesterday's class, we continued the topic on Ideology and the different sources that are used with it. Noted from the power point in regards to sources of ideology, media reflects norms of the moment. In other words, what we see and hear on television, movies, radio, newspaper, etc., has some type of affect on our everyday life in society as a whole and individually. From a the news media, if watched or read, this creates ways of how we look at our world in ways of wanting or not wanting to make a change in different aspects of not only your life, but family and friends, and also others around you. It may not always be for the good or the bad, but mainly what are settling for from what's being seen and heard in reality. From the movies media, we know everything isn't a fairy tale, but we use different genres of films to correlate with our personalities at times. It can be something simple as a message from some movie and we will run with it and apply it to something in our lives; this is something I do a lot as a individual who's a big movie buff. From the TV media, it was noted as it creates a window to other worlds, meaning, television shows are produced as not just being seen as one issue/problem/situation, but seen in many genres that life throws at you. For example, shows aired on BET, MTV, VH1, TLC, Life Time, Bravo, and etc. Then our professor went into Reality TV and the Economy. This explained how prevailing television has become over the course of two decades and the influence of reality television on ideology. One sitcom or television show that I feel fits this topic and lots of people tune into it will have to be The Game. This show has a tremendous buzz and its ratings are off the charts. People around not only the nation, but the world are really watching this show faithfully. If you read or watch news stories on this sitcom, it really has a huge influence on people around the world. The show digs deep into actual problems and traits that we as people portray in our lives daily; no matter if you have money or not, we all still go the same trials and tribulations at time.
