Media Image vs. Reality

The media offers us many images every day. How realistic are they? For example, look at the headlines from many different newspapers. Are most of the stories about war, terror, murder and crime? If you read these papers every day what kind of image do you get about the world?

Look at advertisements. How do the people look? What are they doing? What kind of personalities do you imagine they have? Seeing these kinds of people every day, what kind of image about youself do you get?

    Usually men are sitting or standing and posing with nice clothes in Japanes advertising. We think they are so handsome and cool because of these type of advertising.

  2. No1. What are the top stories in the news today?

    The top news is a computer graphic technology. The news might report the advanced technology in Hollywood.
    The people on two photos are posing almost same posture and the men wear strange tights. In addition to that, there is green curtain on their back. They seem to be in the photo studio. I suppose a skilled profesioal changed men into beautiful women. That is why I think the top story is computer graphic technology.
