Cultural Wars & Moral Panics


The topic my group will be researching is the ideas of cultural wars and moral panics.

Our group seems happy with what we have to study for our project and hopefully we will end up making something we enjoy.

Cultural Wars is a cultural conflict between social groups and the struggle for dominance of their values beliefs and practices. For example there are many examples especially in this day and age some examples consists of Gay Rights, Abortion, Climate Change and Racism. They were just some of the examples and problems in todays world.

Moral Panics is a feeling of fear spread among many people that some evil threatens the well-being of society. Some extreme examples of moral panics have been mostly involved in Video Games recently and movies/tv shows.

Some extreme examples of moral panics was when the first harry potter was released some groups didn't agree with what was being produced they thought that the films were promoting witch craft and Satanism and some people felt threaten for the well-being of the society.

Anyway I have been said to research what specifically Cultural Wars stands for in this day and age and in the past.

Media Representation Week 10 Video Task

  Media Representation Week 10 Video Task After watching and analyzing all the videos for the week 10 video task. the idea behind all the videos and information I've gathered is that we examined the ethics of Media and the potential implications For Society, looking particular of representation in media. First Video In the first video It is a series of people explaining why representation matters and how it effects everyone. I learned it was a way i which people evaluate others in what they look like or what they love to do. There are multiple things that need to be represented such as the people or the culture in which the people grew up in which is severely important.
