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

Critical Reflection



Media imperialism means that someone manipulating the media to influence people to do something that he wanted them to do. This is a terrifying power if they misused the power it will only cause chaotic situation. Media imperialism also apply in the government conspiracy. The politician used this kind of dirty trick to pull an action. For example in the documentary video “The Power of Nightmares (Part 3 - Shadow in the Cave)" George Bush blindly takes action on the people who that he assumed to be terrorist to be caught. It’s all about one thinking then he apply the media imperialism to make his assumption become true but it’s not actually. The news also had been manipulated by the government for example the tragedies of September 11 the media told the world that terrorist did the plane crash but after that there was many doubt about the explosion some says it was government conspiracy.This is how the media imperialism works and it's pretty much the same as mind control it’s has the power to control the world by using media.

Personal reflection

This week the lecturer gave a lecture about the media imperialism and showed us some videos that related to the topic. It’s really an interesting topic because I learned the ‘real’ politics from it.
