Media Effects on peopl's life


it is obvious, and proven also, that people's perception of reality has been altered by the information they receiv from different channels of manupulation like TV, Radio,Ads...and so one, and all those factors affect directly our tasts and choices also.
we are easily swayed to accept many things that they may nor normally have unless expressed on TV or elsewhere since most of us think that everything we hear on TV is true. the effect of Media on us today has embeded our life and changed our way of leaving. As I read a Newpaper, the ads takes up the whole page,and I search for the rest of the article, hidden back. We i turn the Radio on during, verses if songs can overwhelm me with the vulgarity and crudeness, casting me into a foul mood for the rest of the day. as we drive down to the road, we are still being contacted by advertising. The bilboards tell me all the time where to stay, the new shop, and the last version of the mobile phone to buy. As i read a magazine, the first thing I look at are the ads...in brief, media touch us and affect our way of acting. that was the purpose of the marketing practitiners, and I think that they acheived their pourpose, since media has become such an important thing in our life that we can not live without it.

what do you really see?





are those real pictures or painting? are they fake or real?
personally i couldn't believe that those are painting, it is amazing, isn't?so here we can raise the question of is all what we see real?
those painting is a piece of art done by "Aymane El Malki" considered as one of the best painter in the world. He stated that he sees a picture with his mind thousand of times better than with his eyes, and once he start drawing he feels like his eyes are closed and his hands follows what his mind order.

Is what we see what we really get?



I love optical illusions and we all use them to show that we construct our reality. optical illusion are charecterized by images percieved visually and those images in reality are mnisleading. our brain percieve the image in a different way. illusion trick us in a way that we percieve something differently thant it actually exists. in other words, what we really see does not correspond to a physical realuty. I remember that in class we saw a picture of optical illusion,everyone was able to see the old lady, but i couldn't,no matter how hard I tried, I was not able to see what I was supposed to see. I guess that my mind choose to see the young ladyI have tried to focus but no way, so illusion show us one thing in a picture, while someone else can see something different in the same picture.

Let us try this out guys, can you belive that in the first picture the lines below are complety parallel?would you imagine this? or for example in the second image, the face on the left looks angry while the face on the right does not.But, if you stand a little bit away from the screen, and start looking, you will notice that the expression will appear to change?
So I start asking, is what we see in front of us right or it is just our own interprepation? are we missing something out??Optical illusion it is like life, we do see things from different direction depending on which direction are we looking at things, so many different views and perception of things.
