Class Questions/Ideas #1

As I've been reading the blogs I'm getting and seeing ideas that are worth repeating.  Read through some of this and feel free to add to the conversation (through comments).  This way we'll start top get an idea what media and media messages really are- and what the integrated project can be.  So here are those thoughts:

1. it [Media] captures the imagination of random people and brings you into a world that is controlled by the media.
   
2. Are there "people" that would like to manipulate you (other people) and why would they want to?
3.  How long does it take to change something?  How long does it take to change a system?
4.  When considering if media is "true" or not: Nathaniel said: When there is enough proof and approval with facts.  I ask: What would any of you consider enough proof?  Who passes approval?
5. Milisa said: You trust the infomation when it sounds resonable and fair and accurate and provides evough detail about what is going on so then you can pass it on because you know the information is true.  How true- the idea of detail is great- when something has detail one tends to trust it more no?  (she's got some great photos too!)
