How do you relate the information given to you in the documentary entitled "The Power of Nightmares-Part 3" to the theory of Media Imperialism?



Media imperialism means that someone or a group of people manipulating the media to attract or influence other people to do something that they wanted them to do. This is a power if they misused the it, it will only cause chaotic situation. Media imperialism also apply in the government conspiracy. The politician used this kind of dirty trick to pull an action. For example in the documentary video “The Power of Nightmares (Part 3 - Shadow in the Cave)" George Bush blindly takes action on the people who that he assumed to be terrorist to be caught. It’s all about one thinking then he apply the media imperialism to make his assumption become true but it’s not actually. The news also had been manipulated by the government for example the tragedies of September 11 the media told the world that terrorist did the plane crash but after that there was many doubt about the explosion some says it was government conspiracy.This is how the media imperialism works and it sort of like a mind control mechanism that tricks our mind into believing something that is not true.

Personal Reflection

This session of media lecture expose the most greatest power of media which can cause a massive chaotic situation in our society, and it is terrifying to know the truth behind about media imperialism.
