todd gitlin question #2
American global media has
been infiltrating nations and homogenizing local cultures and countries
identities. Television, movies. Computer software and music began to change the
images of what things perceived to be and what others advertised. I estimated
that knowledge and the broad of American’s mind were expanded through this
transition in a good positive way. People began to see things in different
views and also made people of America be more aware of the American culture
change.

if i could change one thing in the society/community...
If I could change
one thing in society/community I would change the way people judge others based
off their appearance. People can look a certain way that others would be quick
to judge or question what kind of person they come off to be. I feel like it’s not
fair to judge someone because they don’t look the part of someone else another
person might be used too.
Being around
judgmental people can lower your self-esteem and how you see yourself in the
community. Judgmental people can make you feel so low for no reason. Just
because you dress with your hat to the side, baggy pants, and oversized shirts
doesn’t make them a bad person. Some people might dress that way because they
cannot afford clothes to fit them perfectly so they have to settle for hand me
downs and hand me ups. Before people get to judge others they should get to
know them before categorizing them as a bad person. Judging someone can also
make him or her act out of characters in a way they might feel disrespected or
hurt by the people to judge them. This can cause the person to give those who
judge a reason to think that they’re the type of person that they might assume
them to be.
Changing the
judgment by people in the community/society would make things better in my eyes
because it would give other people in the society more confidence about
themselves when they go out in public to be apart of the community and not feel
like they’re getting judge by others. If people were to not judge others
wouldn’t get the feel that they are not welcome in some places in the
community. When people gang more
confidence in them it helps them in a lot of other different areas in their
life. For example people who has more confidence in themselves and not worry
about being judge by society usually are more open minded and outgoing to meet
new people and become successful with their jobs.
I feel judging is
wrong for our society because people come from different backgrounds and
different lifestyle an people shouldn’t have the right to down talk to or think
of them differently because of it. For example some people might come from what
others says is the “ghetto” doesn’t mean that they have to be ghetto. They can
live in that area and be well educated but by judging a person wouldn’t know
that.
Judging others
would be the first thing ill try to change in the community/society because I
know how it can influence others negatively in society and impact others
behaviors in a way they wouldn’t normal act. Don’t judge based off someone
appearance get to know them it would make the community a much better place.
