- How does Media change your perception of culture? Nowadays, because of social media the way we look at an image and receive a piece of information have changed.
Min is a Lehigh student ('16, '17G) who studied Sociology and Entrepreneurship as a member of the Eckardt Scholars Program. His senior thesis-as presented at the 2015 Eastern Sociological Society Conference in NYC-explores the effects of representations of race in pop culture through the lens of the hip-hop and basketball industries. Min will be working at Red Bull in Santa Monica, CA starting mid-July, where he will be envisioning and executing brand campaigns around music and culture. Min graduated from Lehigh in 2016 with departmental and university honors, and is now pursuing a number of self-directed projects at the intersection of media, business, and culture through the Presidential Scholarship. Min is also known for his passion for music and DJing, and performs regularly under his the alias 'minnit'.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Nothing is more painful than trying to explain to people they are brainwashed or being brainwashed by the media when you are one of the only rare human beings that didn't watch TV, movies for 15 years after waking up from a 2 year coma.
and yet here you are getting brainwashed.
you're not as rare as you think you are.
There are millions who have their eyes open.
But there are billions of others.
Yea and when you try to tell people that the news they watch thinking for them they think you are a crazy conspiracy theorist
@@mendeleyev1790 please, explain.
@@benkenobi4406 he spend 15 years without watching tv or media just to wake up and watch tv and media
I applaud that in the course of 15 minutes, not once did you invoke your own political views. Kudos my friend; we should make our own choices and decisions.
Yes but why are you praising people for not expressing themselves? Seems counter intuitive. We should be able to voice our political opinions freely.
@@nataliemarie4325 My point being that it is nice to hear an independent view for a change. I miss the days when journalists reported news, just giving the facts without adding their personal opinion. That's all I am saying.
@Robert P. I went back to 8:03. I notice it heavily features hosts from Fox News.
I agree Tony!
@@nataliemarie4325 Yeah, just like how we should be able to nuke people because they're lesser than us!
That really does open my eyes to what social media does to the public and myself. On to the next filtered post based on my viewing history.
I am very impressed with his presentation...keep it up and see you at the Top
Cultural context is not just about political echo chambers. Changing media "representation" patterns, for example, can change what we think or feel we have to think of ourselves and others. Changing media discourse kills and creates conflicting identities all the time. And the faster we change our discourse, the more anxious and angry people we get at each others' throats.
One of the best, alarming, refreshing vedos
Magnificent talk!
ROUND OF APPLAUSE! WELL DONE! ✅
Love to read the comments even more than the speech.
Nothing like reading the “opinions” of completely anonymous profiles to find “information”. Instagram in a nutshell
This is a thought provoking video if social media wants to keep me engaged in coming back they have to continue giving me alternative view points. I will stop looking things up if they keep insisting on censorship. You deserve more views.
They already know you will watch, and eventually accept and like anything they put out there.
This is so true.
I applaud you young men . 🤟🏿
Well said.
Amazing video
OI VEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
This could not be more true than now
Sociology of media brought me here🥰
just check Early life
TH-cam is a clear example of selective thought control😮
This is Good
This is unparalleled excellence. I found content with a similar message, and it was life-changing. "Your Body Your Temple" by Sophia Wintergreen
*QUI?*
save you 14minutes. social media shows you what you want to see, what makes you tick, so you keep watching it. He doesn't provide any solutions.
The solution to this is to stop watching any news station or website that manipulates you with lies and tries to control your emotions.
@@James-vk5ov the solution is critical thinking
@Robert P. i can’t back up what you’re saying for sure but I remember there were three kids that were going to be executed in iran and so there were millions of hashtags used on Twitter to not execute them. It brought the hashtag to the trending on Twitter that even Donald Trump tweeted about it but Twitter started deleting a bunch of posts with that hashtag and everyone got mad. It went off the trending when it was clearly there, I even have screenshots from it.
Classic case of midwittery.
many are not aware of the potential control in the media. hopefully this resulted in delivering insight.
In the image of LaBron James, his body language is displaying primal signals of anger, so it’s natural for a person to interpret this image as him being angry/aggressive

Heres the one thing hes missing: entertainment is still very important. At the end of the day we need entertainment because life has no sense of purpose outside of raising a family in our day and age and even then having a child is a very big risk from government intervention. It's not just entertainment is bad, it's that whoever controls entertainment controls how people feel. If every single thing that comes is a cheap atomized remake then the majority of people watching it will feel cheap and atomized.
We need entertainment? I didn’t know that was fundamental to happiness….. i guess every human that existed before media, live shows and music were severely depressed. How on earth did they invent such great technologies to bring us this far…. Maybe they didnt have the distraction of entertainment.
@@neilfoster883 The first mistake you made was bringing up media: media is only a small protion of entertainment as literature, music, fine arts, and even gladiator fights of old have played a big part before it ever existed. Yes it is very important because theres no such thing as a human who goes to work and does nothing else afterward. Anyone who thinks that is describing Frankenstein much less an actual human.
Why hold the companies responsible, when its the lack of knowledge and perspectives that are made by their participants. I understand that these are huge platform that enable people but what about addressing the vulnerability of the human psychology?
Go play a digital game like WoW for example and go read their EULA. Almost certainly says if you intentionally or not exploit their game you are likely to be banned permanently. You best not exploit if you want to play. Meanwhile the harvest your data and find EVERY POSSIBLE WAY to exploit you and turn you into a mindless zombie. The only way for society to really get ahead is if each individual was a moderately successful Corporation.
Because the media shapes perceptions. Violence at an all time low, but if you ask people on the street, now is the most dangerous time to be alive. Thanks to media coverage of high profile(but actually quite rare) crimes.
@@rogermcbadlad2812 Should we thank the media for that? Being afraid is what has allowed us to survive for so long, it naturally results in people taking action to reduce threats... no matter how likely or unlikely. Perhaps this exaggerated fear is the cause of violence being at an all time low, it is the reason we have remained vigilant.
mar504 Making decisions out of fear is not wise and someone cunning will take advantage of that fear. I’ve searched the question and criminologists are still baffled by it. One theory is that millennials are literally so insecure that as an age group they don’t participate in crime because they don’t like risk. Another theory is the lower consumption lead contaminated water. Even video games have been thought to be reducing violent crime because kids can just play GTA for an hour instead of actually robbing the seven/eleven. Who knows? :/
i mean are we just now realizing this. no. and i dont watch tv for this
Anyone else see the horns on the vogue magazine or just me?

I dare anyone to find a real physical address for Home Advisor it doesn't exist. No physical address exists that way you can't sue Home Advisor when you get scammed. A multi-billion-dollar criminal crime ring right before our eyes with no sign on the front door or in front of the business anywhere in America. Home Advisor advertised in all 50 states in America and over 200 professions they operate scams in. No signage for Home Advisor in the six countries they operate in. And everybody mostly has heard of Home Advisor they advertise on radio TV and internet big time. One of Google's biggest clients is Home Advisor. Google protects the criminal crime ring Home Advisor. And don't believe all the excellent reviews with a lot of companies online they're made up of course you will not find a real reviews with phone numbers for companies that mostly doesn't exist either. HomeAdvisor is the same company as Nelnet student loans in Lincolnton Nebraska with a lot of fake reviews. Don't believe it call up Nelnet student loans they want your social security number. And people will give Nelnet student loans their social security number and personal valuable information not knowing they're giving their information to a huge criminal crime ring Network. How do I know this Nelnet - HomeAdvisor told me it's the same company. If you like this comment give it a thumbs up. If you don't believe it I challenge you to look into it you'll be enlightened.
I looked both up and shown on google search
Wow thx for home advisor alert. They are creepy stalkers🥵
found training on the Internet I recommend

The lebron vogue looks like he has horns coming out of his head due to the letters
That vogue cover clearly shows Lebron with horns on top his head
Nothing new here. We all know this. The question is how to not be affected by it.
Most of our knowledge (is it 80%?) is semantic, meaning we learned it from others. (Whether we talk to parents, friends, watch the media, etc.) We can only learn so much by ourselves.
I think it's okay to watch media if we remember no media is objective. (It's not possible) Later, we can say " I don't know everything since I watch my own news, so let's learn from others."
We can learn from them simply by listening to them. They have their own experiences that shaped them as a person, which they can share but our favorite media often can't. (It seems like that at least) Now, we're also learning about those experiences we didn't know (from different people).
I.e. Remember we don't know everything and that's okay.
I'm doubting my idea a little. Is it only an impossible dream that I could be more open to other ideas? U.S. politics feels very divisive right now, so if I vote, I have no choice but to pick only one side. It's like I have to agree to all the ideas of one side even if I don't, since I have to cast a single vote in an election.
I'm sure it would help with awkward conversations, and it would make it easier to remember we're all in this together. I don't think it's bad to watch media personally, even if it feels very negative sometimes. It shares knowledge we couldn't have learned otherwise: what's going on in our community and the outside world. I make sure to read good news too.
Who's the famous person who originated the quote from the title of this video?
Allen Ginsberg
@@alevtina_tina Thanks
The media is all saying the same thing about coronavirus and vaccines etc. No alternative views, not even satire is allowed.
I'm sorry, this isn't news. It's not revelatory, new, or important. Anyone working in media knows this inside out. And his presentation isn't dramatic.
Not all fact, but close.
Social media making community anti social

wish i could have warned everyone about the corona virus.. everyone back in 2017, watch out!!!!
OG was over Lebron's head in both... Q is blocked...
Fair point however I feel that he is simply copying the work of David Morley and the nationwide study
huh, how do all you Americans feel about lots of CHINESE FROM MAINLAND CHINA who are all moving to the USA?HOW do you African-Americans like tons of Chinese coming here?HUH? you not gonna have a problem with millions of new Asians coming here to live?--deciding to speak Chinese in front of you alla the time?I wish you would do some statistics on this.
not the point I was making ahahaha I was mentioning that Davis Morley in his study discussed how different people react to texts differently depending on their upbringing and demographics
Imagine if the media owners hated on the president!
They might even try to steal an election.
They did, four years . .
Yet this isn’t a crime?
Omg.
A sample size of two is insignificant. Even worse when it is a photo of a hip hop artist and hip hop fans. Blechk! This is a culture I see nothing positive in.
What are you talking about you m/oron
@@nonamewillbegiven2826

This is like a school presentation by the kid everyone thinks is a tool.
Lebron has horns on his head in the latter 👀
This is really elementary. Communications major here 2000. Reading comments here, responses are exactly what I expected. Great food for conspiracy theorists and the brainwash crowd.
"Communications" major in 2000?
You are literally a fossil. You sure it's just conspiracy and not you failing to keeping up with the polarized hyperpartisan media times of today?
He needs to take some media studies classes. This is all old hat, though his sociological confirmation study is nice.
That Britney spears,,,
Star
No
That’s a joke. Lebron looks so cool with his basketball l. And Kendrick looks cool as well.
all the examples of echo chambers are right-wing examples. biased much?
Check Out the Video, “The Press Controlled State,” on the channel of Charlemagne. He goes on a much deeper dive on this from the true right wing perspective.
don't waste your time
