Chapter 4: Impact on Culture?

This chapter, we will focus on the impact of media on our culture. It is no doubt that culture often get influenced through technology. The example that we mentioned in class is the TV culture. Since we are having Youtube and PPS nowadays, people are becoming less and less in watching TV since online broadcasting is free and we can watch it whatever and whenever we want.

Another real life example, guys and girls, are you still writing letter to pals or parents? Are you still using magazine or newspaper to know a pen pal? Nope, we had done neither now. People nowadays especially youth get to know each other via network like Facebook, Friendster MySpace and etc. With just a few clicks, we could almost done everything. The Internet brings conveniences and keep us connected with each other. Just like what I am doing now, I am blogging to share information or knowledge.

Have you ever heard this word: Otaku? The emergence of Japanese Anime and Manga changed the lifestyle of youngster today. People started to admire Japan, started to speak Japanese, started to dream to become a animator, started to listen and sing Japanese songs and etc. Due to this, the culture of cosplaying emerged.

Remember, when a practices is practiced at anywhere and anytime, it becomes a culture.

And finally, God bless to this guy:
