Blog - o - Mania

The fact that I can read my classmates blogs online is in a sense confirming my argument that print media are dying out. Nowadays everybody can create his own blog and write whatever he feels like. There is so much to read online, why bother to buy a newspaper or a magazine when people will inform you with their blogs? At least we save some trees by not printing out the hard copy´s of every Blog.

Here is some suggestive readings that crossed my screen:
http://muslimedia-mls.blogspot.com/by Martina Slozilova discusses how the in the past few years Muslim have been negatively portrayed by the media. It is in a sense controversial that a Religion that follows the Arabic concept of 'salaam,' or peace is viewed as evil and barbarous. The blog involves some personal stories by Muslim that feel unfairly treated and humiliated in a sense. Furthermore one can read about how Muslims being Terrorist has become the running gag of the world, serving as entertainment for the non Muslims.

http://hatesites-tamta.blogspot.com/ by Tamta Karseladze is concerned with the issue of the Internet presenting a platform to connect people whos intentions are not pure. The internet gives terrorist, or discriminants opportunities to exchange information of how to terrorize or even how to build a bomb. The blog also discusses the trouble we are facing with what to ban and what not. In a society with freedom of speech, we should be able to say whatever we want.

http://mediaandsociety2010.wordpress.com/ in this blog, Lenka Purghart has presented some of the negative impacts that the emerging social networks such as facebook, twitter, or my space have on society. For instance the loss of privacy the danger of being followed by constant location.

http://effectofvideogamesonchildren.blogspot.com/ in this blog, Michal Zikmund talks about the dangers but also benefits of online gaming.

At last, Danijela Demarin discusses in her blog http://deindividuation.blogspot.com/ how Media have deindividualized us. How the modern media make us like one another and how they tell us who to be and what to do.
