2010-03-21T11:26:00.001-07:00

Typical for a new technology to be adapted within a culture and used to support existing patterns of behavior.

2009-04-26T08:41:00.000-07:00

This is the last blog assignment..

1. What kind of culture influences through technology can you see from today’s world?

From the question, i think every culture in this world already influenced by the technology. I took music culture as the example. Nowadays, there are a lot of people that have a band. How come they know each other or how they can improve their music style or skill without the technology? It is imposible without using a technology. From where we know that is a band called "Green Day"? Exactly, we know it from TV. TV is a technology which is already influenced us and people arroun the world from just watch inside their home.

2. Is there a possibility to reshape the (new) culture today via new technology, How?

Yes it is! It's very possible to reshape the culture. How? If people want to play guitar, what should they do? Buy the guitar of course and play it. Nowadays, with the technology people just sitting on their chair and browsing through the internet, and download the software and play it. It is exactly the same. From sound untill the chords.

Personal Reflection on class:

Madam Helena gave us a about Technology and media. We saw a short clip about social networking for example about Facebook. It is quite interesting, and also we submitted the 2nd assignment of MLC subject

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.

Media Effects Using McLuhan's "Tetrad of Media"

2009-04-12T08:24:00.000-07:00

Critical Reflection no. 1

Until now, magazine is still the best print media all over the world whether now, internet is the latest media that help us. People still believe the print media as the fixed information. Some people in part of the world still doesn't have internet connection. In some country, internet is still be an expensive things. Back to the magazine, people like it because the visual in magazine is more completely intersted people. Magazine also be the best advertising space for people to promote their porducts.

Critical Reflection no. 2

Why people still loving magazine? We know that print media is more long lasting as proofment in this world. Some people love to keep magazine as a thing that can be collected. The information is valid, its mean there's no fake news. Their have their own editor that responsible on their magazine company.

Personal Reflection

The topic of this week is“MEDIA: THE EXTENSIONS OF MAN”. It related with the Marshall McLuhan; Medium is the Message that describe McLuhan's concept of "media", Examples of Media and their Message, also the explanation about "Hot" media and "Cool" media. I think it is an interesting topic.

Obscenity, pornography and indecency: What are the differences between these terms?

2009-04-05T04:05:00.000-07:00

Hello there.

This is my 5th assignment topic which is i should give the diffrences between Obscenity, pornography and indecency and also the reflection of it.

Obscenity is indecent in very offensive way. For example: raping.

Pornography is obscene inside picture, writings or video. For example : nudity

Indecency is uncourteously things. For example : kissing in public (some countries not accepted this things)

From 3 things above is it usual problem in our life. All of them we can find it in every media type such as TV, radio, magazine, newspaper, and etc. In some counties, they have a law about three things above.

My opinion is we sholud reduce the spread of three things above inside the media.

PERSONAL REFLECTION ON THE MLC CLASS:

Last week we don't have class, so there's no activity there.

What is Media Literacy and why is it important for you as FCM students to have it?

2009-03-16T06:45:00.000-07:00

Media literacy is the ability to sift through and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us every day. It's the ability to bring critical thinking skills to bear on all media— from music videos and Web environments to product placement in films and virtual displays....

http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/teachers/media_literacy/what_is_media_literacy.

Media literacy is the process of accessing, analyzing, evaluating and creating messages in a wide variety of media modes, genres and forms. It uses an inquiry-based instructional model that encourages people to ask questions about what they watch, see, and read. Media literacy education provides tools to help people critically analyze messages to detectpropaganda, censorship, and bias in news and public affairs programming (and the reasons for such), and to understand how structural features -- such as media ownership, or its funding model -- affect the information presented.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_literacy

So from two of the example i can make a conclusion what is media literacy is.

From my opinion Media Literacy is a process that very important on media (every form of media). The process is making, evaluating, thinking and everything that have conncetion with media. This thing is very important for me as an FCM student.

WHY?

Because in FCM when we produce a thing such a design, a film, a video clip, a picture, a painting or anything we should do a process untill the artwork is finally done. For example, when we make a painting we should now what is the subject that we need to draw until the artwork is done.

personal reflection on the media culture class

2009-03-15T11:27:00.000-07:00

I think wee need something diffrent that happen in the class. Like a game or something about culture but interesting. It is very boring if the lecturers just talking and the student only listen to them.

Give a very short basic explanation of what media stereotype is? (Keep it short please!) From your personal experience, what other media stereotype (b

2009-03-15T11:21:00.000-07:00

Media tereotype for me is an something that make an information to quickly understand by audience. Sometimes they related it with ethnic, race, gender, occupation or social class

This thing can be a serious thing because they related it with a few things that little bit taboo. For example like race.

I think we can see it in old cartoon like in the example. It's very funny but when i'm understand it now, i think its a serious thing..

Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it? If yes, why? If no, why? Discuss this in your own words.

2009-03-08T07:58:00.000-07:00

Critical Reflection:

We can see form the picture a family talking about a news. The Father never trust the internet but his son really believe that every news in internet which inside the official site is the truth. The last box we can see that a child told to his mom that he made a news in official site.

For me not just internet, even newspaper or TV news sometimes never approved their validity to people. We have to re- check about everything about something that we felt strange or unsual. Me as university student also using internet very often. I also check about the truth of one topic. Sometimes i also found that there is a lie inside the internet because everyone can posting everything as they want.

Personal Reflection

2009-03-01T04:10:00.000-08:00

I think it's still the same as ussual MLC class, i mean by the type off the subject but for the lecturer session is lil bit diffrent because two lecturers have their own part when the class running.

Critical Reflection of Current Media Issue

2009-03-01T01:10:00.000-08:00

how this new phenomenon (social media) is affecting your life and the lives around you.

This is my weekly assignment for MLC0013 (Media Culture)

Based on the video, i want to discuss about it.

I think because of the social media, people can do that they want as they have idea and media that support their idea. From the video, we can see that people could make their own ice cream product because of the ice cream maker propaganda. The ice cream maker came into the Scoopvile and introduce to the people that they can produce their own ice cream with their idea.

Nowadays, social media already reach all of the people. They can reach us with the many form of media like blogs, podcast, and media sharing. So people just put some information to it and the one of the media form will spread it all over the world..

LET THEM GROW POSTER

2008-09-08T23:41:00.001-07:00

This is the poster of assignment 3.
The title is LET THEM GROW UP.
Based on the first assignment, i took the deforestation issue. As we know, one of the causes of the green house effect is illegal logging. So, i put chainsaw as the symbol of the illegal logging. Because, as ussualy people who did illegal logging is using chainsaw as the property to cut the trees.

We can see that the poster is based on vector art. I really love vector art, but i can't make it properly so i try my best to make it beauty. :-)

The blue colour is symbolize as clean air. Because nowadays is so hard to get the fresh air. I put the smooth wave to symbolize as ozone layer which still in good condition.
The green colour is symbolize as the land. Green is ussualy known as grass. I make it look like a hill because i really love the scenery of small hill in my village.
The tree is the symbol of the good life. I mean, this is the real tree which never cut by human or we can say the original form.
Why i put a chainsaw beside each of the tree? Because it's the key. Global warming is cause the by the green house effects. And the green house effect is caused by the illegal loging and chainsaw is the tool to do the illegal logging.

That's why i choose chainsaw as the subject matter of this poster. We have to LET THEM GROW UP. I mean let the tree grow up and cover us from the broken ozone layer that contain ultraviolet light which is very dangerous for our live..

Keep our world save and LET THEM GROW UP!

Process of Assignment 3

2008-09-08T23:34:00.000-07:00

Even though it isn't very detail, i hope people who look at it will undertsand it.

Picture 1 until picture 3 is the procces of the poster.
Picture 4 and picture 5 is the process how to make the tree

I did a simple way to make the tree. First, i draw on paper manually and then i scanned it. And then i put it into Adobe Illustrator and traced it.
