How different society/culture use their media


Living in a society where there are numerous cultures and social groups certainly gives colour to the world. Media is used by everybody, whether they like it or not. There are a lot and different kinds of media forms. For example, the digital media such as mobile phones, computers, calculator and more.



Due to the technology evolving to something more advance. Although these technologies have change, the society may or may not change. Since the newer technologies allow users to interact and communicate with each other anywhere in the world, they tend to get used staring at a screen for hours without feeling bored about it. These however to me have their pros and cons. Teenagers today always wants the latest gadgets hence keeping up with their peers. As the media portray the importance of having one is a blessing. However the downside to this is that since everybody has their phones, laptop and whatever, the interaction between the person next to them is hardly seen. They could just text message their thoughts, lacking of verbal interaction.



Another group of society is the workers and employees which also use various kinds of digital media or non-digital media. Occupations like animators or clerks or even security guard use the technologies during work but also acquire the verbal communication. In some job, a lot of physical gestures used to tell people something. Getting to know each other just by gathering during a break and sharing their thoughts and experience helps bond session.

Back to the teenagers, Japan is one of the fastest spreading culture throughout the rest of the world with their animated series, funky costume called Harajuku style, and their distinct lifestyle. In my opinion, Anime or Japanese animated is one of the thing that triggers these culture to set around the globe. It is considered one of the most powerful conveyer to the Japanese.




The social groups on the internet deal with their inner most feeling and tell the world about how they feel. Not necessarily require and identification or who the person is, gives the internet the freedom of the world. Their interactions however does not differ to the real world but the experience is definitely is. Social sites such as Facebook allow users to advertise, chat messaging and even play games. The users can get to know each other and share information and their interests along with a million other users.
