Media Literacy Final Project
Internet privacy
Two disadvantages of sharing online: If you delete it, it can still be out there. If you aren't careful about what you post you can lose your job or not get scholarships.
Personal information you should keep private online: where you live, password, social security.
Effect that a negative online post or message: If you post the wrong thing online you can lose your job or not get a scholarship that you had. Even if you delete it the post can still be seen.
Cyber bullying
How does cyber bullying escalate? Cyber bullying typically escalates by the victim bullying the bully back. Cyber bullying can also lead to bullying in school.
What can the victim do?/ What can you do to de-escalate the situation? The victim can tell a teacher or parent and see if there is anything they can do and you can also block them and report them on social media.
Persuasive Advertising
Differences- One is selling food and one is selling an iPhone and they are trying to see to a different audience than the other.
The message it is trying to accomplish is that is is better since it is new and that you should buy it.
Audience the ad is trying to target- The audience the Cheez-It is trying to accomplish is people who are hungry and the iPhone is trying to sell to people who want or need a new phone
Body Image in the media
The media makes guys think that they have to be super strong and though and says girls have to be super skinny and wear skirts and dresses when most people aren't like that at all.
Violence in the Media
I agree with the statement "violent video games and movies teach kids to kill" because in movies and shows when there is a problem they usually just kill the bad guy and they want to cheer for the good guy and in video games they just have the player going around killing people, sometimes for no reason.
Media Usage
I think teens feel pressured to present themselves a certain way online because they want to make themselves look good and are afraid of people judging them. Boys present themselves a different way than girls but there is still the same pressure.
