Critical thinking and media literacy
Mass media heavily influences our perceptions through TV, movies, news, and advertisements. It's essential to recognize that TV shows often carry implicit arguments and values, movies use realism to immerse us, news can be biased, and ads sell more than just products—they sell lifestyles and ideals. Developing media literacy and critical thinking skills helps us understand and evaluate these messages, allowing us to make informed decisions and resist manipulation. In today's information-rich world, media literacy is crucial for navigating and interpreting the vast amount of content we encounter. 4o
