Bias in media

One of the things learned and where we focus more last week were the bias. There are different types of bias, such bias by headline, bias by Word choice and tone, bias by source control, etc. But what is a bias? Bias is an inclination to present or hold a partial perspective at the expense of (Possibly EQUALLY valid) alternatives. Generally anything is biased one-sided, and THEREFORE Lacks a neutral point of view. Bias can come in many forms.

 Both covers have a common theme: the death of General and former President of the Republic of Chile, Augusto Pinochet. However depends on the political ideology of the newspaper 

 how to report the death of it.

Note that the bias can be used in different media, like magazines, radio, television, newspapers, etc.

I will write a report of a museum.

I think it is very interesting as a museum one can learn a lot about some issues and find information about our ancestors, customs, history, etc. Recall that in museums conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, or exhibits, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment of art collections, scientific, and so on, always with a cultural value.

 

Summer camps as all things have their advantages and disadvantages, this include things like the contact with nature, that help the people to be disconnect with the city and technology, and also is beneficial to our health. Some disadvantages that prevail in summer camps are the lack of audio-visual medium like television, radio, cinema, newspapers, as well as discomfort in personal hygiene and housing. Risk of infections, such as virus Hanta, insect or spider bites, the distance to emergency centers as clinics and hospitals, increased vulnerability to risk of assault and remoteness of police protection.

“Play”, the movie of David Kaplan (summary)

In what way does technology visit our homes?

David Kaplan, the filmaker of Play made this movie with the intention of highlighting the idea that the overuse of technology goes against your social skills. The film was shot in six days, mostly in New York City, with a small crew and a large cast of local New York actors.

This movie is very importand in this moment because the message of his film is that the videogames can make you crazy, because you can use a lot of games and go to the extreme up to the point you don´t know who you are like the girl at the doctor´s.

This short film has a lot of relevant scenes, so every importand scene represents something. For example the scene of someone drinking is repeated many times, you can see either a man on the street, a man in a cafe, or a woman in a forest, where we can deduce that it is used to win more energy, to recover life, to feel brave or simply strong and finally to relax. There are also scenes where people look at their hands, like a big man in a car or a woman in the forest where different meanings can be interpreted as for example the vision of the future, the importance relationship between a man and his wife when he looks at his ring, or simply to discover himself. Another clear scene that is repeated is people with an object on their head or face, like a man in a cafe with a mask, people with a battery or chip on their forehead, among others. In many cases, videogames are ment to for entertain, but we also use them to feel we can control every thing to change our personal attitude or behaviour, to be someone else to decide whether to play or leave the game. Besides, there is the mysterious image of a child who appears in the office of a physician or psychologist, in a forest and on the street. At crucial moment I think, that the child announces that something will happen. He also appears when there are personalities with different behaviours, the people returns to their roots, to their basic nature (children) to show the inner world and love, and finally to look for solution as to problems of different ages and people with different lives.
