Hello, my name is Ivana
Lakata. I believe that I don’t really have a big role in media consumption. The only things that I do on media is watch Netflix
and go on Facebook or Snapchat. I am not a huge fan of being on my phone all
the time. Of course, I must be on some social media because I have my family in
Slovakia and Facebook is the only way I connect with them. There are many social “apps” that I heard of
but it’s not for me. I don’t like many of the social media apps because I believe
that those apps change the mind of the person. Many people share their personal
experiences on social media then ask why everyone is in their business. I
believe that social media has become a very influential part of our lives, especially
teenagers. I don’t have a big role in media consumption because I rather have a
face to face conversation then being on my phone texting or calling. Today, I
see that social media has affected the human interaction that every individual need.
Social media made us want to take pictures of our clothes, food, or even any
celebration.
As mention before I don’t
really have a big role in media consumption or media making. Whenever I see
something on Facebook that I agree with or sometimes disagree with I do comment
on it. Some people post about politics, but I stay away from that. I don’t
participate in politics conversation because I don’t really understand it. Just
because I know two or three things doesn’t make me want to start a war. I do
believe that politics are important and that everyone should have the right to
choose their candidate, but I don’t interfere because everyone has their own
beliefs and opinions. I don’t critique their opinions or makes them feel worthless
because that is not me. I see many posts about politics and people will argue
until it becomes a total disaster. In
addition, I do share pictures on Facebook and on my snap chat story. I do so because
as said before I have my family in Slovakia. I also share some picture of my
accomplishments. For example, last semester
I made the Dean’s list, so I did post it on my story on Facebook because I was
proud of myself and so was my family. I share funny videos or images on
Facebook to entertain myself and so as my friends and family.
There are many ways that media
covers activists, acts of resistance and protest. There are slogans all over
social media that agree or disagree with out President of this country. Everyone
has the right to feel a certain way about him. People that disagree with his
politics can all protest together. I believe when people stand united it makes
their statements more influential. People are activist when they don’t wait until
other come together and fight for what is right. Activist are the leaders that
make a point of something that is important to them. For example, Greta which
is only 15 years old took a stand to fight about what she believes is right.
Because of her there are a lot of people talking about her cause. As you can see
the link I posted, people are joining Greta to protest.
I believe that media does
help activist, act of resistance and protest. Because of social media people
can join groups that believe in the same thing. They can talk about it or even
have a meeting. When they join for what they believe their message would be
taken more seriously. I feel like media can be a good and bad relationship to
activist or act of resistance. I say so because people that disagree can and
will put the other down. I see it on Facebook. People get so upset that they start
bringing personal experiences or even stop beings’ friends with each other. I
do believe that media can be a positive relationship to activist and protesting
if the people aren’t hurting others to send the message.
