Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it?

my opinion is that we shouldn't trust the internet that big. not all of them are true, some of them are just thoughts from several peoples, but some of them are true. A reliable sources of article is needed if we want to trust an article on the internet, like if it is from a research company or is it just an opinion from peoples around the globe...

Absolutely not, because not every website in the internet are reliable. Information that comes from news website is the example that usually gives information base on facts e.g cnn.com, detiknews.com, kompas.com, bbc.com etc. But forums, blogs, or any other website that base on user or people information and thoughts were not reliable yet as long as they write or they put source that comes from any reliable sources.

well, in my opinion we must thinking twice about that. Because there some bad people made the 'truth' article but actually they made the article just for fun. I ever search the article from internet for my assignment, but there's something absurdly words from the article and i almost believe the article, then i ask my friend, is that the article correct? and my friend said no, the article really really spoof article, and after that i never believe article from internet. If have to search article from internet maybe i will ask my friends before or my lecture.

so i disagree to take article or everything without thinking much before i decide. We need make sure before we take wrong decision.

In my opinion, we must thinking twice. Do not always believe on what is in internet today. Because out there some bad people use internet just to make controversy. For me, myself, i never trust what internet says, if it is first time i see the information, and i will "googling" to get more information that related to the first information, just to make sure it is true or not. If i found there is many information related to the first information that i get, and the other information supporting the first information, than i believe it. But if, other information supporting, but my logical thinking does not believe it and i don't believe it.

Never trust everything on internet before you get other information that supporting what you see there. Actually, these day, internet can be use to make provocation. So we need to make sure that everything that we see in internet is true or not, before we take a wrong decision.

Do you often take what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it ? If yes, why?If no, why ?

I think we must thinking twice before believe the truth about what internet says or the information within it. Actually I often believe what internet says, but I have to compare it with the same information from another source. It make me not so fast to believe but make me critically think and try to make the differences within the right information or fake information.

This is my review for this topic. Summary I often believe what internet says but I have to think twice to find or to know the truth about those information.

I don't think people care about the truth at all, or at least they don't expect to find it from a blog. The truth is sort of subjective anyway, if you think about it. I mean I could find facts that back up what I say anywhere. it's about business and marketing in the age of the internet, but it's exactly what you're talking about here. The internet (and specifically bloggers and readers/commenters on blogs) has opened up the fast lane for calling out BS. This doesn't necessarily reduce the amount of BS out there, but it levels the playing field in terms of percentages. More truth is brought to the front faster. Maybe not as fast as the BS, but the more bloggers are called out and questioned, the more they have to step up with honesty, credibility and support for their claims to maintain their status.

But I honestly do hope that the future does bring some more truth to the internet for the mere fact that so many people naively accept everything they read without thinking twice about it.

I've watched one movie called "My name is Khan" The movie tells us about Moslem people who lived in the United State. After the incident of 911 which cause the destruction of the Twin Tower in America it also effects the "whites" people in America by judging every Moslem whom currently live there to be dissociated.
This example has taught people who have watched it to be aware of Moslem, whereas it is not true that all Moslem are terrorists.

The movie Hairspray is one of a example of the racial and ethnic stereotypes that the media and entertainment industry use to portray black and white skinned peoples.

The movie Hairspray by Adam Shankman shows how the black skinned peoples in America are disgraced by the white skinned peoples, they treat them different in many ways by assessing them as a cruel and barbaric being. But in the end everything turned out different, everything is accepted as one big family.

this movie shows that not all of them are bad, even some white skinned people could be more cruel than them. the important thing is racial discrimination is a bad thing, and it shouldn't be accepted.

Prince of Persia an action-adventure video game franchise created by Jordan Mechner. Through the various titles, the series has been developed and published by many different companies from the year of 1989 until now. (Wikipedia.org). This game is played by every children, teenagers until adult, and I also played it too. :)
I think this game is show us about the struggle of the prince from Persia to take back his throne as a next king. So it show us about the heroic action not a barbaric action.

I think the Arabic people is not a terrorist that many media talked about it. But it maybe the media has play it's role to tell us or inform us about this news or information. But sometimes we have to not listen to media if the news or information given is not right. So this is my review for this topic.
Thank You

From your personal experiences and research, what other media stereotypes (besides the example from the documentary "Reel Bad Arabs") have you seen ei

Walt Disney's animated film, Aladdin, a huge box office success in 1992 which was seen by millions of children around the world. In the opening song we hear, "I come from a land, from a faraway place where the caravan camels roam, where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face. It's barbaric, but hey, it's home."

Or see, for example, the racism in Rules of Engagement in which a bloodbath among demonstrating civilians in Yemen caused by US soldiers is justified, because an investigation shows that the dead women and children themselves started the shooting. The seriously injured little girl with whom we initially sympathise is hereby transformed into a terrorist too.

Blogger and journalist (Joffi Marcaesar)

Blogger and journalist both are a person whom usually write about something, it can be their own thought or sharing any information. The difference is that blogger are giving opinion and sharing with people around blog users, and journalist is more serious writer and basically they write something to give information to people base on fact.

Explanation between blogger and journalist

Sometimes there is a question "Is that same between Blogger and Journalist?"
well, basically, blogger and journalist are in the same area. Both of them are trying to inform the readers. However, there is some aspects that we cannot say blogger and journalist are same.We will discuss it separately.

In the few last years, blogging has become a universal phenomenon in which everyone has felt free to express themselves, air opinions, promote themselves and, by extension, their products and services. In blog, blogger can share anything. They can share about products, service, or maybe they just share about the story. In this context, bloggers have the freedom to write only what we want and we like it, without liability to serve any audience or advertisers. Independence which is certainly not owned by the journalists who work on a media. Writing about blog is based on her/his hobbies to write about something and share to someone. We cannot find this factor on the Journalist.

Meanwhile, journalist have received professional education and training, have responsibilities, have certain skills, and have certain inherent traits assumed about their conduct. journalists have a very big responsibility on what they convey, and they write. They must write the true story of what was happening. The difference between journalists and bloggers is that bloggers write about something without any kind of wages and only on the basis of pleasure. But another case with a journalist, they get the wages about what they made based on the writings and some of journalists do this is not based on fun as a blogger.Journalists are also protected under the law and the applicable laws of the country and they have a code of ethics for a news story. But, this context cannot be applied in the bloggers.

In the conclusion blogger and journalist is not same. The differences of these materials are about the feeling of happiness to write the article and the other one is the purpose of writing the material is a job or hobby.
Thanks for the attention :)

ARE BLOGGERS JOURNALISTS? (agung cahyandaru)

writing a blog is like writing a journal, but its more about personal business or opinions. bloggers usually use it as personal use such as daily journals, assignments, shoping advertisements, or even just to share some opinion to discuss on. so you can't call them journalists.

journalists are more like a reporter, they write things for the public and they provide new references for people. A journalist writes information about current events that is happening around, new trends, and interesting issues.

The main purpose of a journalists is to serve the public. they write for the newspapers or magazines. so anything that a journalists write must have some quality informations, knowing that the public mostly relay on it.
