Note Card Assignment

For the notecard assignment I interviewed; a thirty-nine year old white female, a forty-seven year old black male, a twelve year old white female, and a fifty year old white female. Each person I interviewed came up with very different results.

The thirty-nine year old white female thinks that the media provides proper coverage of important events in our world today. She thinks that media provides valuable information not otherwise given to the people. On the contrary, the forty-seven year old black male found that it sets unrealistic standards and gives too many poor examples of how young people should behave.

The fifty year old white female found the media helpful because it gives the populous a voice, and allows deliberation between people of different backgrounds. She saw it as a more educational benefit than anything. The twelve year old girl saw the media as a nice way to keep in touch with the newest gossip and styles of clothing. She uses the media to keep her fashion in check.

I found a prevalent feeling of positivity in seventy-five percent of my interviewees, but my dad, the only man, was the one person who found the media negative. Either way, I found that the media impacts us whether we like it or not.
