Step 1

1. -News -Magazines -TV -Newspapers -Podcasts -Internet -Theater -Concerts -iTunes

2. -Entertain -Amuse -Inform -Persuade

3.Media is influenced by: -Social- The peoples values and wants will determine what kind of media is produced and the quality of said media. -Political- The wants of political powers might pull strings to make the media see them in a kind light. Or they might make other candidates or co-workers look bad. -Economic- The economy will make the media change by not allowing some of the low budget projects to run and the high budget films or shows will not have as much money to make the show or the film.

4. -Represented- The people who are represented by the media are the ones that everyone is talking about or know about. They are usually the big stars and the ones who are always adopting or having children or for their big new movie. -Not Represented- Their the people that you seldom hear from or see. They tend not to get in the tabloids or media. They tend to stay secluded from the paparazzi and the lime light.

Step 2 1. The Iraqis view of the war showed a horrible massacre agenst the civilians while the Americans view said that the civilians might have been fighters. Both sides feel there fighting for the right cause.

2. Major Cities- Baghdad, Mosul, Basrah, Irbil, Kirkuk Religion- Muslim/Christian Government- Federal parliamentary republic Social Structure-gh

3. The Iraqis view of the statue falling was as it really was when we, the Americans, doctored the photos to make the crowed look bigger and staged other events after the fact that didn't happen.

4.We chose to doctor the photo so to make the event look bigger and more important so the general population would think that the event was seen by many Iraqis.

5. This information made my view shift a little bid. I once thought that we were the good guy in the war. I still think we're fighting for good reasons but the Iraqis are fighting the same battle as we. They believe that there fighting for the right reasons and think we are the bad guys. The info learned has no affected my view a whole lot, only slightly.

6. The options were to ether have the square empty or full. They choose full. Even though the crowd was mainly journalists and soldiers. There intentions were to show that the dictatorship had fallen and propaganda.

7. They were doctored because the government didn't want the people to know that there wasn't that many people to witness it.

8. It served the purpose of calming the United States citizens.

9. The government and the people of the United States.

10. Yes, if you doctored an image of something then people are going to go off that. Then it gets put in a history book and there it stays for the rest of time.

 Step 3 Page 3: 1.The USA newspaper has all images and very few text. The London newspaper has more text then pictures. The USA newspaper has very large text and flashy colours. The London newspaper has less colour and more text. The USA has almost no text when the London paper has almost all text. 2. The audience is the American people and the British people. 3. In both papers it says that the Iraqi war has started. But in our paper it over dramatizes it. The London paper is more laid back and respectful (in my opinion) to the Iraqi people. Page 4. 1. The USA's paper has a smaller image but a larger headline.The Spanish paper has a big picture to capture the readers attention. 2. The audience of the newspaper is the people of the places they were produced in. 3. The people not depicted in our paper is the Iraqi solders and citizens that got hurt. In the Spanish paper it was the American solders that were not depicted. . Step 5 The media has a major part in history. Everything that the media says will eventually become history. This is how the media might be flawing history and making life worse for the future generations. It will tell you the possible outcome of there lies. You will have to rethink your opinion on media after this. If the media says one thing is happening then everyone believes them because they are a "trusted" source of info. The people of the country usually follow blindly behind what the media says is true. If people broaden their access to news they might find that what the media is showing might be exaggerated a little. The internet is a great place to find news from around the world. On the internet you get peoples perspectives from across the globe. You could get news from a Pakistani during the war. You could get to see what the other cultures of the world think about the war or a particular event. When the media changes or alters a photo or story, they are altering history. When someone then goes to document what happened in a history book his story will be flawed. His/Her story will be different then the story of someone in Italy or Iraq. By changing history the media is creating a fight that hasn't happened yet. Cultures will crash on who's story is the correct version. And history will have so many versions that no one will know who is right. So, the media has a huge part in creating history. And they only tell half of the truth. If the media told the truth all the time then the world would be a very different place. There is an old saying: //The Truth Hurts.// And it defiantly would hurt if the media said it all the time. That is the parts that media plays in history.
