How ISIS and the War on Terror Influenced Summer Movie Blockbusters - 0 views

  •  
    The film industry is trying to bring the dangers of advancing terror groups into light. Groups like ISIS are spreading fear and influence across regions like the Middle East, but they are also spreading their influence to places all around the world. Social media outlets have made this spread of ideas possible and able to thrive. Globalization or the interconnection between all of us in this day and age has given us the ability to spread and receive ideas like these with ease. Anyway, important people that run the film industry may realize the importance of this danger and decide that they should spread it to get the audience to realize it as well. It's a case of hierarchical diffusion and I believe that their goal is eventually expansion diffusion. It's all about spreading ideas to where they're not necessarily regarded as widely. I know for a fact that the war on terror isn't as prevalent in our minds as it is in the people that are collateral damage from it. Filmmakers are trying to change that with themes that act like metaphors to the situations going on right now in war-torn areas. These producers and creators of films take advantage of the popularity of the medium to display their ideas and spread them. However, will these messages make their way through to the public? Will they see that the war on terror is sometimes as bad as the films' problems? Will the medium have any effect on the progress we make with ridding the world of these groups of terror?

    You got it. The film industry has certainly been a vehicle for globalization. We tend to trust ideas from those we admire and respect or from mediums such as Youtube that are easily accessible. Invisible Children came out with a Youtube video a few years ago about the African war lord, Joseph Kony. https://youtu.be/Y4MnpzG5Sqc How might something similar be created about ISIS?
  •  
    Yes, I remember this video. I had watched it when it had caught so much traction. I think a huge difference between Kony and ISIS is that I feel like not many people really knew about Kony while the news has basically insured that everybody knows about ISIS. When it's a new topic, people may be more interested in finding out more about it, like with Kony. But I feel like if a Youtube video like that was created for ISIS, it might not gain the same traction because it has been covered heavily for the past year. That's why I'm so intrigued with the hidden themes in movies because I feel that subtlety is the best way to bring forth new ideas without being overbearing.

Diffusion of Social Media - Frank Ruszkowski - 9 views

    Go to this website to see how, when, and where social media has diffused through the years and where it is prevented from spreading. This is mainly about Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

    The site is aesthetically pleasing with a sufficient amount of information without deterring an individual. The diffusion of social media reminds me of the notes we took on the diffusion patterns of television and the internet.
  •  
    I like the organization of your website. I never knew Facebook was so dominant throughout the world! The information is very useful about where some types of social media are banned. The spread of social media is similar to what we learned in class.
  •  
    Your website was organized very nicely and I learned info I had never known before about how Facebook and social media affects parts of the world.
  •  
    This website was great to learn about how social media has spread across the world. I learned a lot about how the government in some countries blocks the use of social media.
  •  
    This website was great since I got to learn about the diffusion of social media, which plays a big part in our lives. It was nicely organized, and provided a lot of interesting information.
  •  
    It was interesting to see which countries ban types of social media and how that reflects their type of government. I was surprised to see North Korea does not ban Youtube but India does.
  •  
    Nice job on showing the diffusion of social media, using three strong examples.
  •  
    Great job on the website. It was something different as most people did cooking, music, or sports. I remember in the book that it said that YouTube hadn't diffused much in 2011. It's amazing what a difference three years can make.
