“Media literacy begins with an awareness of our media environment.” Mass media is all around us everyday consuming a huge portion of our day-to-day life. With that being said being able to sift through the different mediums of media and dissect each type will become a crucial part in having superior media literacy. Once being able to accomplish those things one can resonate in our society and culture more fluently. To have media literacy and awareness gives someone the ability to function more affectively and actively participate in dialogues having to do with media.
Mass media serves an individual and community in many different ways such as for personal dependence, information, entertainment, and persuasion. We clearly use mass media in many different forms to simply get a message, opinion, idea, out to the world and the ways of doing so are endless. Mass media becomes important in politics, movements, and bringing people together and with out the side of media literacy we are not coherent to any of it. It is a changing world and mass media is one of the most central points of it.
Media literacy serves an important role in everybody’s life. Not having the skills of media literacy can very easily leave someone behind and in the unknown. Without media literacy, it makes one blind to the world in many ways. So much is to be learned through the media and even about ourselves through the media.
