Hey Guys, Girls And all manner Of creatures from the night.
As i have Been watching, lately i have noticed Quite a few References To the government in mainstream Films Positive and negative (mainly of the Government being useless/ untrustworthy)
In My opinion The Media industry is the biggest and most powerful in it's country as it controlls what people know, What the don't know and even what people think, It has a massive influence on the population and it is in control of what information we are allowed to have.
The example i have of head are The Tranformers movie and Simpsons movie, however there are more out there and i'm sure more to come.
Simpsons movie, Government Emplyee: " Hey We found them, Everybody! The government actually found something they're looking for! Yahooooooooo!
Transformers movie end Credits, Sam's Parents: "I'm Sure if anything had happened here, the government would have told us..., Oh definetly..."
So What do you think of These views?, what are yours?
How Powerful is the media?
How Is the government being portrayed, Why ?
General opinions?
Is there something going on here, Is it purposeful?
Let me know what you think...
Regardless of What the Media outputs, It influences peoples way of thinking and reason etc... It's like any other form of influential behaviour but it is fed to the public,
wheather you care or not about what you produce to them, People who read it will still take it in and Contemplate it's point.
In Countries Such as darfour The internet has been censored of most of the content, Why ? because the Dictators of the country don't want people within to become inspired to revolt and aware of Change outside the World, They are basically cut off, And that is controlling what they know, by removing Certain media, and replacing it with propaganda.
Btw i like the replies Keep em coming guys
