Intro
        I believe I am human being that is developing to figure out who I am personally, but I know I want to be successful in life and and make difference in the future. Honestly, I am not quite sure on what is my role for media consumption yet. I believe a great mass of our common experience is involved in the media, event, and etc. For example, I seen a program or event on Instagram that caught my attention and made me want to attend. Therefore, me attending the program got myself involved in activities in school. Furthermore, seeing a graphic images of pollution that are killing made people felt heartbroken. As an result, it made people stop throwing out their trash in the ocean or the sea.
       
       Moreover, there are ways on how the media can cover activists such as writing a news, interviews, contacting the radio. Truly, having a relationship with the media can be good and bad. It can beneficial because it gives you opportunities and brings attention to something important. On the other hand, it can be an disadvantage because people like to take advantage and bring conflict. It is kind of risk dealing with the media because everything will be known and you can't take it back.

       Writing the news is an attention grabber for the people. Folks love reading news paper and that's where one place they would try to look for information. Also, interviews gives more details. Interviews explain more and goes straight to the point. Last but not least, contacting the radio help reach millions of individuals.

       To sum up, the media is a powerful source to use if you want to promote anything. With the media you can grab attention to anyone. It stores a lot of data and information. Without the media, we would be clueless and in our thoughts all the time.
