How do you relate the information given to you in the documentary to the theory of Media Imperialism that we talked about in lecture?


This is the 7th blog assignment

Critical Reflection 1
Ok, this is my 7th blog assignment. I have to watch  a part from The Power of Nightmares which is part 3 Shadow in the Cave by Adam Curtis. Based on the task i have to talk about Media Imprealism. Media imperealism can be describe as expansion also in media. As we know, news media sometimes never give us the truth information about something. For example, there is a wrong information in The Power of Nightmares (Part 3 - Shadow in the Cave), a BBC documentary by Adam Curtis, about the story of the United States and the Islamic Movement . It is makes the United States of America thinked that Al Qaeda were hiding in a cave but it's never foun anything there.\

Critical Reflcetion 2
Impact from the video like The Power of Nightmares is make people believe to something that only from one side, which is from Adam Curtis side. BBC has the very important role as the main source of information. This thing can make all the people believe all the information that BBC gave. That's why many people always think like what BBC think.

Personal Reflection
This week, we learned abot Media Imperealism and also watch Adam Curtis's video which is The Power of Nightmares especially part 3 Shadow in the Cave. This video make us know the bad side of news media in television.
