Text of the page (random words):
ion which is great to read about n3ws disclosure writing is the one thing that when i do i don t feel like i should be doing something else it s hard enough for most of us finding an affinity towards a career in university but 19 year old caitlin james went through high school as one of the few teenagers who always knew what she wanted to be and stuck with it reading and writing has always played a huge role in her life and although many aspects of journalism are also important to her cailtin s passion lies with creative writing mum read me a lot of books when i was young and i m sure that s where it started she sometimes says maybe she should have taught me more math not my strong point but i think my life is a lot more richer with reading and writing studying extension 2 english for her hsc she became emotionally involved in view original post 383 more words may 29 2014 annie hazelton leave a comment reflections who s ready to read about what i ve learned while blogging about the intricacies of media and communications are you totally excited it s okay i know you re not but let s go ahead anyway in a thoughtful and considered manner media has turned out to be linked with everything that society does it s just that we re not aware of it most of the time while we ve mostly been talking about traditional media newspapers television magazines etc in class my personal thinking has gone a lot further than that i ve been pondering over the fan culture that i seem to find myself constantly submerged in and whether the forms of social media that we all use regularly really allow us to be individuals i ve been questioning tumblr and fan fiction and youtube in short i ve been completely rethinking my entire existence i used to wonder if it was inappropriate to be a fangirl because of my age but now i m wondering if i can still be a fangirl because of what i know now i ve been wondering who controls the media i use i ve been wondering how much impact the media i use has on my life and whether i m constantly being subliminally influenced i m starting to see the internet itself as a place of discussion with thousands of opinions where people can express themselves it s made me realise just how small and average we all are as people in this massive media drenched world reading other people s blogs has also forced me to think more about interacting with the media some people have very little experience with any social media outside of facebook while others have far more than i do my classmates have made me realise that despite being just one small individual whose socks don t match i still have power i have a voice just like they do and i ve realised that screaming against the media on my own will achieve nothing but a conglomerate of screams will be heard that looking to others for guidance and support is the way to go april 14 2014 annie hazelton bcm110 leave a comment modern day girls when asked to pick a controversial text to write about my instant thought was which one you ve probably grasped the concept that i am pretty strongly immersed in fan culture did i pick harry potter mean girls twilight no i ve decided to go with a tv show that has created a lot of controversy with it s seemingly brutal honesty girls is a tv show written and directed by lena dunham who also plays the major character in the series lena has been both critically acclaimed and slammed for girls the show depicts a group of four twenty something girls struggling to make something of themselves in new york city which seems pretty normal right i mean sex and the city was a smashing success and there are a lot of parallels between the two girls even makes references to satc regularly this demonstrates that lena is completely aware that she is playing with the public sphere one of the criticisms mckee writer of the public sphere an introduction has on the public sphere is that it relies too much on spectacle one of the keys to girls success is it s confrontational and sometimes spectacular nature people appreciate the inhibition of the series james poniewozik a popular culture reviewer from time magazine called it raw audacious nuanced and richly often excruciatingly funny the characters within it are representing a generation of young females other reviewers such as abra norton from the women s website sheknows com disagree with this statement she believes that the girls in girls are not voices of their generation but instead cater to a small minority of women she instead believes that the characters are so pathetic while being so arrogant at the same time that it s hard not to feel they deserve every horrible thing that happens to them something which is fascinating about the controversy surrounding girls is how much of the action takes place on the internet the ultimate public sphere there are countless blog posts written on the issue so this one will be lost in that sea of knowledge that we call the world wide web this blog post is itself a contribution to the public sphere but will never have the same impact that girls has had on the world mckee a 2005 introduction the public sphere an introduction in public sphere an introduction cambridge university press cambridge pp1 31 http entertainment time com 2012 04 05 dead tree alert brave new girls http www sheknows com entertainment articles 959665 hbo girls episode recap hannahs diary april 14 2014 annie hazelton bcm110 leave a comment you have the power so this time i have a conundrum for you at the beginning of this blog rather than at the end just to you know spice things up a bit do you believe that who controls the media has an effect on the way you perceive the world around you can it make you think and feel a certain way most importantly does it affect the decisions you make oh man i hear you say is she going to talk about propaganda again you bet your uncle sam i am the thing is the media and the people who own it can have an effect on you to a point it s not really about who owns the media it s more about who controls it there s a difference it s the people who control the media that civilians need to be aware of as they are the ones with the power but in order for them to be to manipulate the way we think and feel we have to allow it access to our minds which totally doesn t sound like mind control or anything subtle propaganda has been around for such a long time that often people are unaware that they re being manipulated at all we would never call the ad campaigns that take place in our elections propaganda because what we consider propaganda to be is completely different we think of campaigns done by the nazis during world war ii and north korea in today s world to be propaganda part of me wants to say that propaganda is wrong and should be eliminated a part of me also want to say that the fat cats should have control taken away from them and that they shouldn t be allowed to manipulate the average civilian bu there s also a part of me that says that actually maybe our modern day propaganda isn t all that bad it can teach us to make informed decisions about our world education is the key reflection on past events is a vital aspect we can improve our future by looking back on the mistakes of the past restriction of propaganda would naturally lead to a great debacle in regards to freedom of speech so what do we do it is vital that young people are able to evaluate the information they re given and be able to make informed decisions from that we exist in a very fortunate time a time where freedom of speech is not denied where the internet is buzzing with opinions and ideas which anyone can access if they desire to you have to remember that although some people can dominate public media they cannot control you unless you choose to not inform yourself you as the consumer are the one with the power april 6 2014 annie hazelton 1 comment propaganda how educated are we really something which i ve always found fascinating is how images can hold so much power they are capable of making people think just as much as any other medium which is interesting because they re just a still picture a moment captured in time but that s it or is it there are many instances in which they have been cleverly set up to manipulate the viewer into feeling a certain way ads and propaganda are notorious for doing this and i have long been fascinated in these kinds of campaigns times of war or the threat of war are when these campaigns are most likely to occur they play on people s emotions fear is the most common weapon used to put one over people thus making them do what they are told one of the most infamous posters used during the white australia policy is called the mongolian octopus and it allows an insight into a time which we sneer at today believing ourselves to be superior this image shows an asian face with the body of an octopus white people are being trapped and ensnared by arms that have words engraved in them that would ignite terror in their viewer such as opium smallpox and immorality this image has very much been constructed with a target audience in mind it portrays the fear of the australian people about the immigration of chinese settlers which was a big issue at that time a serious effort was made to identify a class of people being perpetrators and to show them as a real physical threat this can be shown by the innocent white people being literally grabbed by the arms of the octopus and the menacing expression on the mongolian s face the issue with propaganda lies in that it monopolises the mass media and encourages the everyday person to dwell upon their fears and frustrations which essentially brainwashes them people in today s western society believe themselves much more resilient to such campaigns due to the fact that they are more informed thus able to to make more informed decisions regarding what they choose to listen to in the media that s right isn t it i mean look at us with our apple products and university educations but i don t know how true this is considering how often people will listen to one single piece of information without checking the source of the information or cross referencing their sources we may have fallen into the trap of believing ourselves to be educated and thus believe that we would surely never listen to propaganda campaigns but how many of the products that surround you at the moment did you buy because you saw it on an ad aren t ad campaigns similar to propaganda think on that while you enjoy your beverage of choice march 25 2014 annie hazelton bcm110 4 comments neither can exist without the other neither can exist without the other what was once two distinct categories is slowly but surely morphing into one media and the human race media heavily relies on people and now it seems mankind cannot exist without media and yet your everyday person stills blames the media for society s problems forgetting that people are behind it all people are very quick to blame other people and other things for their own problems it s never us choosing to sleep in that causes us to be late it s the traffic or the parking or the cat has got hiccups as someone who essentially lives on the internet i can happily say that my existence is very heavily influenced by the media happily i hear you say is she joking she must not be as internet as she says i mean has she even seen all the many many negative effects it has on people yes actually i have i have spent a significant portion of my life battling demons who are determined to take me into the dark and yes sometimes these problems were made worse by the media and it s messages and yet it was the media that saved me the media isn t just negativity as so many people are wont to think the media is also books and movies and music and blogs and youtube i was able to find myself in the scenes of movies and the lyrics of songs that could describe my feelings better than i could i was able to stand up for myself because hermione could i could accept myself because luna could i was able to fight depression because love kept the dementors at bay maybe some of these mediums have negative aspects too but is anyone or anything completely free of adverse facets there are multiple campaigns in the media which encourage us to accept our flaws and imperfections and rough edges why then can we not accept that the media is produced by imperfect humans and therefore can never be perfect media is able to hold a mirror up to society in a way that no individual should maybe instead of shooting the messenger we should look to the society that sent said message maybe the best way to conquer the negative aspects of the media is to look at the real life people behind it maybe then we can move forward in unison with something we can t seem to live without march 16 2014 annie hazelton bcm110 1 comment internet creature i consider myself to be a creature of the internet i m that person you know who makes jokes that you don t get because you don t internet as hard as they do however you laugh anyway as there s nothing else you can really do in that situation i feel more comfortable on fanfiction net than i do actually asking someone where the fans are located in the department store you know you re in trouble when noone around you understands what otp or even shipping means if you are sitting there right now going what is she talking about does anyone understand or is she just creating sounds you need to go and check out danisnotonfire s video i will go down with this ship as this is where i send all of my non internet friends to get an understanding of the basics http www youtube com watch v c61d72fpa4c blogging however is a realm that frankly terrifies me that s not to say that i don t follow several blogs i do but actually doing it myself kind of makes me want to scream a lot all throughout high school people asked me why i didn t blog because apparently i have a good writing voice i could never really come up with a coherent answer i instead chose to make some sort of smart arse comment i d give you an example of one of these comments to lighten the mood but i can t remember any deal with it however i do video blog on youtube so i suppose blogging isn t that different but video blogging allows me to convey emotions through facial expressions as well i don t have that option here blogging like any form of writing is just rearranging the same 26 letters over and over again and hoping that people can connect with them i also have to hope that you don t take my sarcasm and irony too seriously i don t mean most of what i say if i come across as offensive or rude then it s probably meant to be a joke i ll tell you if i m being serious hopefully this blog is vaguely entertaining to you if we have the same sense of humour then you ll probably be alright maybe oh no i ve hit that awkward bit of the blog where i want to end it but still haven t worked out how yet what ...
