KeY CoNCePT - media values and ideologies -

the major ideologies in my text is that islam is being represnted wrong and that streotype of a group can cause disruption to people's life.

it shows what sterotypes and prejudice leads to!!!

the assumption made by the media is that all muslims are "terrorist", this broad assumption leads to many social problems :(


also we learn the strong power the media has, how it can make such a impact. this idea of islam in media being misreprensented and people believeing it helps fit in with alot of media theories.

values brought across in my study are that racial hatred still exist and the sadness that a strong tool as the media wants to cause such problems.


here is a link explaining post colian theory which can link with the "western" and "eastern" idea

Certain selecting process is used to show certain context that proves the western media point ... E .G -

!. showing kids burning usa flags

2. pictures of terrorist showned over and over again

3.repeated imagery of osama bin laden


this leads to the representation of islam being presented in a bad way !
