Media imperialism is a theory stating that smaller countries are losing their identity due to the force-feeding of media from larger nations. It can be equated to small community shops closing down due to large superstores moving in, taking over and having a monopoly.
THE POWER OF NIGHTMARES by Adam Curtis
'The Power of Nightmares' by Adam Curtis is powerfully illuminating and well worth watching for it's historical perspective on the use of fear for political purposes.
It exposes and reveal the truth and secrets that was used to brainwash the smaller countries and smaller community as well in giving out the idea of terrorism. United States of America used 'Media Imperialism' theory by using the media such as the television to portray "terrorism". With this documentary, Adam Curtis revealed the truth of the "lies" that was set up by the United States in order to get people on their side.
With the power of the Media, the politician can create a propaganda just by using any media tool they want. The United States of America did a good job in fabricating those lies and create a new propaganda and idea of 'terrorism'. They brainwash the people with images of Muslim people in robes and weapons in their hands.
Like in advertising, all products are advertised as perfect regardless of its real ability, and any bad feedback will be covered up during the advertising. And that is the reason why we never see any advertisement saying a product is not good. In the end, the public is the one who become victim and been tricked.
I've realized that we are actually living in the world of fantasy and deception. We cant really differentiate the truth and lies.
That is the reality of this society :/
