What influences your values about issues relating to your life?
The things that influence my values about issues relating my life is mainly the media s they are my eyes around the world and also my parents and my friends. Media mainly shapes my values about issues because I will usually make up my mind very quickly about an image for example, todays activity we had that picture with the family and the hut. I immediately thought that they were in poverty and that they need help to get out of this poverty. But when Mr Hays talked about the image and said that they were happy and that did not live in squatter. I then thought to myself that why did i not think of that. Then I thought to myself. Then I finally realized that the media especially TV influenced that decision. For World Vision advertise in helping people that look like them and also news only show the bad side of Africa where there is poverty. Another influence in my life is my friends and family. Family being the most powerful thought me how to do things and especially taught me moral values.
Do you ever compare images/values presented by the media to those of the bible? If so why? If not why not?
No, not really. I haven’t really compared things in the media to the bible because I immediate presume that the media is always correct except obviously the fictional stories and movies. Media is really a powerful thing, I don’t even think about whether or not the media is right.
Has this project challenged you to examine your values? Why / Why not
Yes, yes this project challend me to look at my values hard because I have realized that everything the media talks about is not the truth and that I should search for the truth. Probably after this project I am going to be a very different person and also will be more cautious in what shapes what i see.
