Media Literacy

What is Media Literacy?

Media Literacy is the ability to access,analyze.evaluate,create, and act using all all forms of communications interdisciplinary by nature. I  have to say that I was very impressed to know that the companies can manipulate a picture to their convenience to sell their products by  media. I did not know that all their TV commercial were to get the peoples attention and make them want their products only because of their brand. I have to say not only the adult people like me  but even the young ones. I was not questioning anything I was buying. After class on Thursday I was shock because I had on my mind that the commercials with their products were informing only about good benefits for us.  I believe that children should be taught about Media Literacy  because no one can hide it from  the children. You can be exposed to it in many  different ways  and you can  find it everywhere you go.

Once you teach children about Media Literacy I am sure they will be questioning about the products that the companies and their commercials are offering and selling  to them. When the  company wants to market a new product they will want to get the attention of everyone. who ever is in charge of making the commercials sell their  product  it will be presented so  beautifully that  they will make  belief many people it is perfect specially children. I want to share with  everyone the truth about  a couple of restaurants that sell fast food. These is how food stylist make fast food look so delicious  in their commercials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUjz_eiIX8k https://www.youtui t 

I am mother of four children and I witness how my children eyes look so happy watching a commercial about fast food or toys. I believe children are been targeted  from the media.  Media Literacy in the classrooms is very beneficial for the children to be more knowledgeable. teaching children about Media Literacy is  making children to think critically on deciding whats best for them. also when children need to  do a research paper children will be ask about what kind of Media Literacy  were used to to the assignment. so yes Media Literacy be tough in the classroom soon as possible.
