Response to 'Miss Representation'

 

Through this film, I have noticed how the media is manipulate our minds. Before watching this film I have never noticed the trap we fall in to set by the media industry. Media tend to use sexualization to attract the audience, with the example of how Sarah Palin got more media coverage then Hillary Clinton. Media also present a subject that pressures people and make them more aware on that issue, and as they feel more pressure they will tend to improve that by all cost. But this is exactly the trap that media want us to fall in to. Through this it shapes how the public perceive. After watching this film, it makes me more aware of how we should approach the issue from different ways of thinking, we should not believe everything from the media but filtered the things that are transmitting to us.
