ABOVE THE HYPE
Know Who's Sending You the Message
We get hit with media messages all the time. We hear music, we see ads, we watch TV, we see clothing logos, we read and we surf the Web. Have you ever stopped to think about how many media messages you see each day? Or who's actually sending you these messages and why?
Ask yourself...
- Where is the message coming from?
- What is the song, Web site (or any message) telling me?
- What is the point of view of the person sending the message?
- How is the person sending the message trying to make me feel? What do they want me to do?
Evaluating these messages will help you understand the influences in your life. You can make up your own mind. Don’t believe the hype.
