Have they influenced you in any way besides the aspect of entertainment? C) Explain any emotional attachment to the character or person. Have they disappointed you? Motivated you? How and why?

FEEDBACK:
Media and Culture Theory
One
The media directly influences individuals. It makes individuals aware of the things that happen on a global and national level. The media influences individuals directly because it presents new norms to them. It might persuade individuals to accept the new norms. The media can influence the beliefs and views of a person by presenting new information to them. People are likely to make their decisions based on the information they get from the media. They can have good norms and values of the media promote such norms. The media might affect people positively or negatively. TRUE The positive effects include being informed and learning new things (Eadie et al.,2009). The negative effects include getting fed with false information. The media might encourage individuals to engage in bad practices such as abusing drugs or being promiscuous YES, IT COULD BUT A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE WOULD HELP HERE. . It might encourage individuals to spend their money unwisely through the advertisements of various products and services. AGAIN, A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE, A SOURCE, WOULD HELP FOR CLARIFICATION.
Two
The cultivation theory under the socialization theories accurately portrays my media experiences. SO, WHAT IS IT? CLARIFY. I spend a lot of time on various social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook. Spending more time on social media platforms has caused behavior and lifestyle changes. I have been able to obtain news through social media platforms such as Twitter. I have found news about the Russian-Ukraine war via Twitter. News channels such as CNN, NBC News, and New York Times have social media pages. One can receive news of what has been happening in various parts of the world if they follow the social media handles of such news channels (Berger et al., 2010). Even though the use of social media has been helpful in gaining new information, it has been more difficult to engage in physical exercises and study because a lot of time is spent on social media platforms. HAVEN’T EXPLAINED THE THEORY. GERBNER, THE CREATOR OF THE THEORY, HIS FOCUS WAS ON HEAVY WATCHING AND SHOWS THAT WERE PRONE TO VIOLENCE OR EXTREME EMOTION.FOR THOSE WHO DO, THEY TEND TO SEE THE WORLD IN A MORE MEAN WAY, OR THE MEAN WORLD INDEX, AND BECOME FEARFUL OF SITUTATIONS THAT THEY HAVE SEEN ON TV, THINKING THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD.
Three
The government should protect citizens by setting laws. There should be laws to the media companies to help protect members of the public from the media effects. The government should have laws that ban indecent videos and photos (Berger et al., 2010). It should also have laws that penalize media companies for posting false information and giving fake news. IF THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE WERE BROUGHT BACK, UNTRUE AND OR BIASED NEWS STORIES COULD BE HANDLED WITH THAT.
Giving opinions on general issues should be termed free speech. Free speech is when individuals follow the government laws on posting information. Indecency is when individuals use abusive words ONLY? THAT SEEMS LIMITING. . It is when a specific group is targeted through the media. The media should not be used for targeting individuals that come from specific groups. Censorship is sometimes warranted. It is warranted because of the risk of fake news, racism, and violation of values. There has to be censorship to ensure that the media does not promote violence or hate against other groups. THE SUPREME COURT IS VERY WARY OF ANY THING THAT SMACKS OF CENSORSHIP VERSUS FREE SPEECH. THEY HAVE ALSO STATED, OVER AND OVER, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT HATE SPEECH IS PROTECTED UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT (SO IS LYING) UNLESS THE WORDS ARE “FIGHTING WORDS,” WHICH MEANS IT CAN’T LEAD TO “VIOLENT ALTERCATIONS.”

Hi,
Some good points but there is no definition for Cultivation theory and that is needed. Please see my notes above in CAPS for more specifics.

Nature of News An example of a current news story NOT THAT CURRENT. THAT IS FROM 4 YEARS AGO LASHUNDA. CURRENT MEANS THE LAST 90 DAYS OR SO. is the story of a family that was served a blood-stained Frappuccino from Starbucks. One of the family members noticed that there were red stains on her drink. She also noticed that there were red stains on her daughter’s drink. She explained that there was a strange metallic smell from the Frappuccino. At first, the woman thought that they were bleeding. She later realized that they had not been bleeding, and the Frappuccino had blood (Moye, 2018). She reported the matter to Starbucks. The woman explained that she had discovered an employee bleeding before being removed from the workstation. Starbucks offered the family $1000 as compensation. The story was compelling because it covered a topic that affected many people. Most people are likely to order drinks from Starbucks. They might be surprised after hearing that someone was served drinks that had blood. The story connects with the audience because it covers something they might experience. One of the concepts that the story exemplifies is human interest (Eadie, 2018). People would be interested to read a story about their favorite drinks or coffee house. The story also talks about a kid who drank coffee with blood. It is likely to catch the interest of people who are concerned about the rights of children. There is the concept of unusualness in the story. It is unusual for coffee to contain blood. One would have expected Starbucks employees to ensure that the drinks served to customers are not contaminated. The story is unusual for individuals from diverse backgrounds. There is conflict in the story (Eadie, 2018). The family explains that Starbucks did not care about their well-being. However, Starbucks explains that it cared for their wellbeing because there was compensation. The impact was a lack of trust among the Starbucks customers. The customers would have to double-check their drinks to ensure that they did not have unusual ingredients. The concepts have been challenged by the advent of immediacy in a news release. BUT, THIS HAPPENED 4 YEARS AGO. The Internet has challenged concepts such as timeliness. Many people can share news through blogs, YouTube, and live feeds. They can use their smartphones to share the news. Reporters and journalists might not be the first ones to get news. Human interest is; however, the inclusive bridge (Eadie, 2018). Human interest actives the emotions of people and connects them through their similarities. Social media platforms are used for sharing news stories today. Many people have become active social media users; therefore, they are likely to get news stories almost immediately. Social media users are likely to get the news of what has happened in other countries quickly. The advent of immediacy challenges concepts such as timeliness and proximity because people can share news quickly and across borders.

A good analysis but not a current news story but one from 4 years ago. Current means last 60 to 90 days, not over 4 years ago, so keep that in mind when another assignment asks for a current news item.
