Alisha’s personal statement:
I, just like anyone else born into this generation have grown up in a society where media has had a major impact on what we do; the way we dress, behave and make choices. The reason I love media is because it creates the world we live in.

Media have certainly became a big part of our daily life, an important element of our daily viewable culture, and more familiar the violence and monstrosity which is described in it.

After attending Media Study 10, I believe studying media would be an ideal direction for me to broad my knowledge and experience My interests in media started when I was teenager as a reporter in my school’s broadcasting club. There, I enjoyed reporting news and information but also had opportunities to understand the influence that the media could have to change our lives as I delivered critical issues.

This course helped me to understand how Anthropology is such a diverse field and how important it is in understanding human cultures and society in general.

But Anthropology helps us to understand that we should always respect people of different sects and cultures.

This course showed me how people are unaware of their actions and how they can have a large effect in the long run. I even realized that I was contributing to this particular problem as well.
