My knowledge of the impact of social media has increased from class and as a result, I have been paying closer attention than ever to what I consume from social media. The hidden motives, narratives, and biases that take over different media outlets are something I've been more aware of. Whenever I come across statements on social media, television, or the news, I find myself questioning their accuracy and honesty. I've become more careful about the things I choose to believe and tell other people thanks to this newly developed important perspective.
I've started to notice how media consumption affects people's perspectives and behaviors by observing how they behave. Clearly, media has a big influence on how people think and act, from how they interact with the news to what they buy because of commercials and advertisements. I'm now more aware of the possible effects of the media on people and society in general, especially when it comes to developing specific opinions, maintaining stereotypes, and affecting public opinion.
As I consider my own media consumption, I see how important it is to choose the information that I expose myself to with purpose. To gain a better understanding of complicated topics, I've started to look for a range of perspectives and information sources. Also, I've started to take responsibility for carefully consuming the content that is given to me, confirming claims, and taking into consideration the messages' hidden objectives. I want to explore the world of technology responsibly and try to develop a more excluded and educated society by increasing my awareness of the media I consume and its potential consequences.
