Media Effects Using McLuhan's "Tetrad of Media"

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?

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:

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
