Visited blogs

Here the list of blogs of other students that I have visited and would like to recommend some of them.
In the blog "Distortion and alteration of reality through media", the author posted the article about how media make and create biased and false reality as a result of outside suppresion and inhibition. Journalists write biased and sometimes untrue articles because of the lack of money and time needed to make proper investigation of the issues. Nevertheless, I think that media in general and journalist in particular create distortion of reality becuase of their desire to make money from the happened events and issues, making them more riverting and exciting for readers and viewers.

Second blog is "Pro-Social Advertising".
Pro-social advertising is not such a common thing now,but the fact that the numbers of such ads slowly increase, give somehow the hope that our society will change to more positive "human" side from the side of corruption, wars, desire to make money from everything sometimes immoral things. Particularly, there is one great video about signatures campaign that perfectly illustrates today's situation when people do not care what happens around them and do not know under what they put their signatures.

Next, a blog where I found some new information is the blog "Emosic". I have never heard before about existence of murder music and what it is about until I visited this blog. I like that the author not only discribes the meaning of emo music and murder music but also brings examples for better comprehension of the matter. Especially, "Think critically, listen carefully and watch out." and " Emo: Teenage suicide. " are most interesting and useful articles, and sometimes controvercial. For example, in "Emo: Teenage suicide. " is given a link to a article about a boy's commitment of suicide as a result of bullies about his emo style and music. But I question if a boy's death was caused by emo music and style and ask why a boy actually turn to emo style? May be some individual or social matters and factors take place. This is a informative blog that I recommend to visit.

The blog "The Female Image in the Media" is full of different examples how actually "ideal bodies and faces" of women are made in the media. I think, this blog will be very useful for educational purposes of girls, especially, teens. Because it reveals the secret of "artificial beauty" that is boosted in ads, magazines, TV,in a very entertaining way.

Another blog that I visited is "War in Media". I recommend this blog becuase of "12 points of concern where journalism often goes wrong when dealing with violence"("War in Media") that I found very informative. Also there are some useful links to web pages that seem to be interesting and helpful for better understanding and explanation of the issue.
