Journal 16

State of the World Presentation:

My group had Sustainability and Media.
            Billboards, Facebook Ads, Television and Radio Commercials, Magazine Ads and more. These are just a few aspects of media that we see every day. Media has become such a norm in society due to all the advances in technology we have today. Not only can media be used for consumerism, today media is being used to help promote sustainability. Due to the rise in media because of rapidly growing developments in technology media has skyrocketed. People now spend much of their time interacting with media. Now people have the ability to create everything from their own programming, music, art, news, etc and then distribute them even further then email by using YouTube, Facebook, and more (Assadourian, Starke, Mastny 2010). Now the term “word of mouth” should really be “word of social media/technology”.  The more that people use these aspects of media to change the mindset of consumerism and focus more on sustainability the more of a chance we have to change the world and the destruction that the human race has created.
