The New Media

On Thursday I attended the Symposium in the Union. It was a little difficult at first to grasp her original argument because she was simply reading from an essay and not exactly speaking. I found it to be really interesting to hear her perspective and the view of foreign people. She talked about the stereotypes and how those were now being brought out in the media and now those people who were originally quiet are now grabbing their voice through the media. I thought it was hard to grasp her argument but I think that it eventually came out in the end.
I also thought the clips from the movies that she is associated with was a great touch. After she explained what the videos stood for, I began to fully grasp what she was saying.
