Media Literacy

The video I watched was about Media Literacy. They talked about how media is always everywhere you go and it is always part of your everyday life. You may even wear media everyday as well. Media can have the good and can also have the negative affects. Media is on the windows of a gas station, on the bulletin boards, the backpack you may have, and even on the big semi-trucks.
Another message that the video had for the audience was to be media literate. In other words to be aware of what media is really trying to do, so you won't fall into the spell of getting lured into what ever they are advertising. Most families watch an average of 3 hours of TV a day, and about 1000 plus hours for the whole year. Also an American family may have at least 2 television sets per household.
With all this media, it seems like our world is getting worse. We are getting a decline in Civic Engagement, and not many people are involved to make our world a better place.
