Media life

Media is now a big part in our lives, we basically use everyday. We share ideas, traditions, thoughts, and expressions. Which is a big part in communication. There is a big exchange in knowledge. There also has to be a certain amount of individual and collective understanding of communication.

Gender segregation is something that comes with media. People separate and categorize people by their social status, what there profession is, how they look and more. This can effect the way that people look at themselves. Although some people have become more open minded about what your gender is (Kaitlin Jenner)  . But other people have not, and that has had a big effect on people’s  image on themselves. There is a lot of judgement on media either way. But there are a lot of ups to your gender on media. There is a lot of socialization on the media. There is also the problem of having some standard that they need/want to get to. And this can bring them down to thinking that their not good enough. It effects the way they look at the world. And the biggest problem that I think occurs is facing the truth about media. It is a big business that can be public or private.

We live in a world surrounded by social media. So in a way media has become a part of our culture, because its a part of who we are now. Media is a essential part in our life. We use media to learn about what is happening in our economy, whether its political, social or economical. There is also a lot of drama and conflicts that come with this information. It could be bias, false information……

 

 

Discrimination

7ca79badd85c0a3fbad8bc005f70614d

There are many different types of discrimination, but the one I am focusing on is race/color discrimination. Discrimination on race is when you treat someone differently(Mostly in a negative way) because of how they look. It is when you separate different characteristics that go along with their race. This includes skin color, hair texture and facial features. Color discrimination is when all the hate and cruelness is pointed to the color of a person. Race and color discrimination can also occur because of who a person gets married to(A person of a different race). Because of a persons race, there can be some unfair treatment. It can be harder for other races to get good paying jobs.

  • Culture: Discrimination based on cultural characteristics , race or ethnicity. Such as their name, accent, and their manners.
  • association: This is when a person marries another of a different race which then has a multiracial or biracial child.
  • Reverse Race Discrimination: This is where a person or a group of people discrimination on a whole race.

when someone discrimination happens a lot of times the victim thinks that its because of who they are. But its not. Nothing gives anyone the right to hate and change the rules for someone because of their culture and their race. We are all humans and that is what I think our race is. Color or facial features does not change that.

Twitter Expert Reflection

           alltwitter-twitter-bird-logo-white-on-bluegeniusHour_badge

For this assignment I had to find and follow 10 people that I thought would help me advance in my knowledge and understanding of my Genius Hour topic. My topic changed during this time, but I could still could use the advice that the people gave me. I asked them about good presenting skills and websites that were not PowerPoint. I contacted @22MThompson,  @SkwirkOnline,  @PowToon,  @TechnicalInnov,  @Mersive,  @ForbesTech@Adweek@jshamsy@IMAXNinjasmrholshoe@mrholshoe, and more. I created a list that helped me see tweets that held importance to my topic. It was also easier to contact everyone. At first no one replied my tweets. But the second time I sent out tweets @22MThompson and  @PowToon replied.

             We started to have a conversation, and then they started to connect me to other people that could potentially help me. @PowToon is here to give me help for any problems I run into. I am in a group conversation and It think that they are quite interesting so I will be continuing them. So to conclude I think that this was a really successful. project the people that I connected with were really fun to talk to, and I liked the fact that they would give me advice to help period. Even though not all the people I tried to connect with replied, the few that did made a difference. This strategy can be a really good way to learn to create better connections with people you never knew and that could be interested in some of the same things as you. I can continue this process by using it to do other projects out of technology class.
