1. I am a media consumer who tries his best to find out about the world around him through good sources of media.
2. I aspire to be a consumer who continues to use positive outsources to reach for finding interesting stories of great entertainment value.
3. A responsible media consumer takes his or her time to really get to know the outsource. He takes the time to sift and be a consumer who will differentiate between what is true and false.
4. It makes me want to continue being a sponsor of the “right” way to consume media and taking it with a grain of salt
1. most important to feel safe:
the most important rule to feel safe would have to be plain and simple:
don’t hurt people, control yourself!
Hurting people comes with a liability and there is no place for hurting people with true intent. We must all learn to be people of good faith in humanity.
2. nothing really to add
3. rules most challenging -
not for me, well maybe, but in general it’s hard to sometimes to not talk over each other.
i always try my best to contribute and then step up, step back, and monitor myself.
I disagree with Sharat for various reasons. I learned in AP Econ a term called the fallacy of composition. What is true for you may not be true for others and what works for you many not work for others. An opinionated statement such as the film industry sends the wrong message works only for Mr. Bodduluri. I view the film industry as a moving and pioneering engine that has recently been slowly grinding down its gears, but can still influence the masses in providing positive messages.
So I’ve been watching this show called Laguna Beach: The Real OC. It’s an old MTV show that goes several years back and the original kick-start before The Hills began. So I love reality TV for 1. it’s crazy plot lines and ways of telling the story. 2. the quick pace cuts and music selection flows really well 3. the cliffhangers that will always get you to watch the next episode no matter how silly the last one was. Reality TV and Laguna Beach can hook you in quite easily. But what are things I hate? 1. The crazy, yet I forgot to mention stupid plot lines - sometimes I wish there could just be a little more depth to the shallowness of the lives of others. 2. Reality TV itself is a 15 second fame market within the history of media. Shows run and make their mark for that year like Laguna Beach did in 2005 and The Hills in 2008 and Jersey Shore did it for 2010. It comes and it goes, and you can wish that it stays around longer, but it won’t. It’s there to give you some time to waste and then it’s gone. So what’s there to say about the show? You love it, then you leave it.
