"The Allegory of the Cave "and The Truman Show
“The Truman Show” all Truman did revolved around the media. Such as drinking coffee would end up turning into an advertisement for coffee, Truman speaking to a couple of clients by buy a home signs and advertisements for food. However to survive relying on the media, we all do things like Truman.
After analyzing the class readings and watching The Truman Show , I think now a days we all moves in circular motion around the media. Its because we highly addicted to media in many ways. As we can see in the movie
Now question comes How much does our reality depend on the media and what purpose behind it? Well I think I do depend on the media. Media do a huge role in my general life. It changed my life a lot. If it wasn’t exist I wouldn’t be where I am today. For example we do various kinds of job in our day to day life. Media helps our life easier without it our job wouldn’t be as advanced as they are today. With no advertisements where would we all be today? We wouldn’t really know everything we know now. How would we know about many jobs if there is no one to speak about it? Most of the Companies use radio, TV or spokesmen to tell us the people about their job openings and careers. So its important to have media in our general life.
If we look at our study life there is huge source of advertisement I believe would be schools. For example almost every college use tv commercial to advertise their open college enrollment meetings for new and upcoming students. They advertise their strengths over TV and the radio to get us to choose them rather than some other school. . If it wasn’t for the media there is no way to know about all these different schools and great programs and opportunities they offer us.
IT is true that media is making our life easier but also it can make our life disaster too. We must be weary of fake advertisements. Many advertisements offer you us wrong thing and I can be harmful. In their advertisement they talks about so good news you want to know about the company and they hide problematic stuffs. Or they tell us once we have purchased the product. Lots of people use internet to make up fake advertisements to get us purchases their fake item. Sometimes they link to us a virus. So as we can see everything has good side and bad side. Because of that we should be aware of using things before really going into it. We must have the ability to face the fact that we are a growing population. Also this source of media can get us through our daily life. And we must learn not to take advantage of these sources. We should let it help us understand more of good things that we may go on or deny.
