It is undeniable that we see too much violence in the media especially on television and computers. These too much exposure to violence caused by the media has negative effects on me. Too much exposure to violence in mass media leads us away from reality. It is because violence now becomes normal because we usually see it in the mass media. this report reminds me again to become sensitive to the effects of media violence. I must not become passive with regard to the violence that I see in media. It is good that the media presents to us the violence that is happening around us and this exposure to violence must lead us to act and to do something about it. You must get rid with the mentality that violence is normal, rather, this exposure to violence must motivate us to act.

In reality and media messages, there are two worlds that exist: the real world and the media world. Media presents in both fantasy and reality. Though that is the case, media world is in real world but it will never be reality. Anything that is shown to us in the media is not the entire reality, it is just part of the reality.

This reports reminds me once again that the influence of media on sports greatly affect me. Watching sports entertains me in one way or the other especially basketball. I really enjoy watching sports. Before I prefer to watch sports especially basketball on live because at first for me it is more exciting and challenging. It is undeniable that it is nice to cheer your favorite team together with the crowds. It is enjoyable before to watch the basketball on live together with other people shouting at the top of their voice. However, because of the progress in media, I found it practical especially this time to watch basketball on a television instead of watching it on live. Because of the development in mass media I preferred to watch it on television with all its effects than watching on live. i found it more convenience because i can relax at the same time enjoying watching my favorite sports. This was the effect to me of the influence of mass media on sports.

This short report simply invites me to share my knowledge or information about media literacy to others. By sharing my knowledge about this things will help others to increase their knowledge on media literacy as well. However, this report also challenges me to increase improve first my knowledge on media literacy so that I have something to share to others. It is because I cannot share what I do not have. I need also to make sure that the things that I am sharing to them will be useful to them and will not destroy them later on. That’s all.

The report that we had on how does effect process works invites me to become responsible with regard to the things that I am doing, especially with the use of mass media. The use of mass media affects not only the user but also the people who will be in contact with it. Mass media is a complex thing. It does not only affect its user but it can have also different effects to other people. People have their own interpretation on the things that they see in the mass media. Thus, I need to be cautious with regard to the use of it. I need always to consider the effect of what I am doing to other people.

I thought that there are only one people who owns and controls the mass media. But this report enlightens me in this matter. This report gives me idea that media is owned and control by different people. In this report I also learn the important role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO is the person who makes major decision in a company. I learned also that ownership and control are not the same. We can control something which we cannot own at the same time we own many thing but we cannot control. Thus, there is a need of people to control it for you.
