There are a bunch of medias that we can choose today, in order to keep in touch with the world. For me, I prefer to choose Internet, newspaper and magazines. Usually, I get my news from the internet, because it is very convenient and fast. For example, when somewhere occurs an earthquake at this moment, this event will be posted on the website in the next second and seen by everyone who can access to the internet. Later, I found that internet has its disadvantages as well. Although I can search things really fast, I have to print it first in order to get a written vision. However, magazines and newspaper can give me that opportunity to collect some important information in a written form. I am often entertained and informed by the media, because once I enter any web page, it will show up an advertisement or some big event in a corner. I like watching movies on the Internet, so I am entertained a lot. If I want to close that window, I have to take a look at it first, so I get some information from the media. Additionally, I am always persuaded by the media because there are a lot of information on the internet combined with different people's thoughts, and some of those worths reading and understanding. As everyone can write his/her own opinions towards certain things, it may not be always true. Therefore, searching the Internet should be patient and careful. Otherwise, one may be brain-washed instead of being persuaded.
How has media shaped my life outlook or identity?
My views toward morality changed, because a lot of news are posted on the website, and there are a lot of editorials. Once I typed in one event in google, it will show up different editorials. With reading more and more opinions of others, I have my own bias, I can come to realize right and wrong. So my views toward the morality are changed.
