A Moral Media

I think in some ways that the media should be and not so ethical, because society at times aren't prepared for the sad truth of either being racial, and some people just rather go through and take the problem head on. So we must see media through a ethical view point, for example you see a group of people of all different races gathered striking against a company, exploiting Constitutional Racism. One may thinking those rich white people are so racist, but amongst the all the strikers there are white people. And for another example would be religion, some people have their own idea of what is the best choice on behalf of their life. But there are those that think badly of others ideas, because people like higher up company owners feel what’s the point of having these factory workers if I could have the work done triple the time with machines. I would like to take from one of Postman’s ideas of the world through his eyes. “One is the natural environment and consists of things like air, trees, rivers, and caterpillars. The other is the media environment, which consists of language, numbers, images, holograms, and all of the other symbols, techniques, and machinery that make us what we are.”(Postman) Postman’s idea of these two worlds we humans only see is very true. As a matter of fact I see it today, people who are all about the “Bling”, becoming very materialistic. People see only things for what can make them look good, for example girls want the latest purses or the in fashion clothes. Men are no different; we want fast cars, more money, and big houses. The media provides with so much of the celebrity high life that they pretty much promote the glamorous life, they want us to follow. In the real world people don’t live that extravagant, and people can’t afford even one thing some of those celebrities own. There is also a sense of ego that coincides with our media as well, because I don’t really see the point in having a big house, whether there are and specifics of advantage or disadvantage. I real think to myself would having a big house really make me happy or promote me into some egotistical prick? A lot of the time I see the media as a source of entertainment, not my open reality to the real world. A lot of what the media may say can be distorted, because it’s coming from one person point of view, not from the entire public, but what journalist or writers believe is the precise thought. Often times I look at the bigger picture and from my own view point and not just what the media says even if they claim it is on behalf of what the major public thinks. Because in the end it is really how I perceive things and what I believe and not what others rather have me think of or believe in
