Seth has stated once again what we have been learning in our class. The wrong affects that the media has on our lives, but he has interestingly picked our seven specific ways that the media does so.
- The News- We believe what they tell us no matter what/ They mostly tell us the "Bad News"
- Noise- We grow use to the constant sound of music in the back ground and such. It is not natural.
- Moral Decay- Our view on life is significantly distorted by the viewing of sex, violence, and profanity.
- A.D.D.- We become "Channel Flippers" and can't focus on one thing for too long.
- Mind~Numbing- We are watching some else's life in stead of living our own.
- Poor People Skills- We are forgetting how to talk. Our "virtual" relationships are taking over.
- Bad Decision~Making- What we learn from the media is not necessarily real. Especially the shows on TV.
He has related all of these things to a more spiritual side of the perspective, So some of the stuff he said is left out.
How I feel about this... I agree. The things he has brought out and listed are, what I believe, all valid statements. These are all problems. The way he has stated them though concerning a spiritual look, I am not so sure about. I believe he is not LDS. If you would like to look over the different ways that he connected it spiritually you can always check the website listed in the (source) at the top of the post. But With the core meaning of what he is saying, I send my support.
