Recommendations to Visit

In this project, my classmates took other perspectives on different issues in media and its influence on society. Some of these blogs were very challenging for me. However, the topics that I enjoyed the most are the following and I would like to recommend them to visit.

Anna Sabanci

-this blog was exciting because she pointed out that media are just picking the pieces of the information about Islam. They use specific information for their purpose of attracting the reader’s attention, however, just because they point out one example, it does not mean that whole religion follows this example.

Uliana Formina

-I do recommend this blog because the influence of advertising on children is taken from many different perspectives. She does not only talk about the violent ads that children can see on the TV. However, she includes the opinion of various organizations, sex portrayed in media and also the influence of woman’s image on little girls.

Jakub Hribik

-I do recommend this blog because Jakub showed his own opinion as well as he gave a clear support for what he is claiming. It is true that violence can be caused by media, however in which percentage. He makes us think if there are not other reasons why people do act violently or why they are committing the attack.

Zhazira Alikhanova

-I strongly do recommend seeing this blog because there is a variety of supportive material. The pictures of anorectic models are very horrible. However, the advertising against anorexia seems so strong to me as well. Zhazira points out that the media should admit that they are creating a fake image of woman ‘beauty’ which is hardly achievable by ordinary women.

Elmira Ilyasova

- I recommend seeing this blog because Elmira chose a topic where there are many interesting debates going on. This blog is full of supportive videos and every viewer can make his own opinion. I like how she looked at many different types of music and their development. She shows her opinion on topic clearly and she also includes some of her personal experiences.
