MEDIA LITERACY

MEDIA LITERACY       FIRST VIDEO: WHAT IS MEDIA LITERACY? IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THIS VIDEO IS  1) OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MEDIA AND  2) THE MAIN CORPORATION IS TO MAKE MONEY    PEOPLE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH MEDIA IS SOMETIMES OVERWHELMING.  SOME             PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OPINION EVERYWHERE, LITERALLY. THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, WHETHER IT'S NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE. OR EVEN SOME PEOPLE HAVE AN ADDICTION TO MEDIA. THEY CAN'T GO WITHOUT IT, WITHOUT HAVING A MELTDOWN.  IN OTHER CASES, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT AREN'T REALLY UP WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA, THEY'RE JUST NOT INTO IT, OR MAYBE THEY DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT.
