Media Literacy Project

Wordle: Media Lit Proj
Ever day, we read, see and listen to messages from others. We are reached through music, movies, magazines, newspapers, television, video games and advertisements. In this unit, our goal was to become aware of the messages created by others and the values imbedded in those messages. In this blog, we each examined one area of media and looked at how that media might be influencing our values and how it might be contributing to inequity in our society. Each entry describes what we learned from our research and our thoughts about what we learned. Each entry is a thoughtshot: a window into our thinking.

What Message those rappers send






Introduction
For my media project I looked at the message rap music sends out to it's listener. I looked at the rap list and chose the rapper I listen to mostly (#1 Eminem) ,(#3 Lil Wayne),(#6 Jay-Z),(#8 50cent), (#11 T.I) and found there best voted song. I scan looking for lyric that talks about sex, Drug And inappropriate languages toward women such as bitch, hoe, els


Value 

Any song that sends a good message or I can relate to. Fits my standard of a good song.

Conclusion

I found that there two sides of music one side talks about how life is hard every girl is a bitch or a hoe and sex and drug are the way to deal with there problem and the other side talks how they love women and they will never let any thing happen and how drug are bad and to never have sex.

  1. This clearly showed your research and what you found in the songs. It made me wonder what messages you think the songs are sending and how these message affect what you think about the world and what other people might think about the world.
