Topic 3 : Give a very short basic explanation of what media stereotype is? (Keep it short please!) From your personal experience, what other media ste




The stereotype in the media is a kind of copying the main subject and story from another media.For example if we take a look at the cartoon which we seen them before in our child hood we can see most of the story of the cartoons and the main subjects is same. We can see them also in the movies for example the old movies such as sandbad series from Arab stories, 007, batman, superman, spiderman and etc, they are all with the same story, one here can save the entire world.

TOPIC 2 : 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.


Depends on which web-site you are looking for and what topic on it?

For example if you are looking for some data on papers, the IEEE is 100% trustable. That information which you are looking for in IEEE have checked by somebody and you can trust it, but sometimes when you are looking for some news on some web-site of course you can’t trust it and you have double check with another web-site or another source. For example some news about some countries was uploaded in CNN which is rejected by BBC and AL-JAZIRAH.

Topic 1 : Discuss how this new phenomenon is affecting your life and the lives around you.

In the video entitled “Social Media” we see social media is not just as a kind of communication, we can say the advertising is kind of it. The director seeks to explain the concept of social media in community called “Scoop Ville.” In the video we see that the people living in Scoop Ville got to explore the ice cream machine. What I can understand from the video is the ice-cream machine is kind of tool which the peoples in the “scoop Ville” can use it for the creating the social group, and then they also make the different kind of ace-cream and different flavors. After this and making a lot of flavors they noticed they have to choose the best flavors so then they do the comment board to see who like what. so after these thing the performance and the quality gets better because they what the peoples like, so they can do the advertising on that product witch peoples like it.
The Video entitled “social Media” reflects on our personal lives in many ways. I would describe social media as a tool of communication. As human beans we all need to communicate. We want to be involved and interact with other humans with communication. Humans have the tendency to communicate through the sequence of thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Social media has created a network of social groups throughout the world. For example we all know about social media applications such as yahoo messenger, yahoo 360, orkut, internet messengers. I am using these social networks to communicate with different people around the world. I want to learn about cultures, ideas, the ways of the different lives.
