Media literacy is the ability to sift through and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us every day. It's the ability to analyze all aspects of the media like music videos, online environments and the many advertisements in sports. There are three stages of media literacy. 1: BE AWARE. Know what you watch and limit the amount of time on the internet, television, games, and other forms that market to the masses. 2: BE ABLE TO QUESTION AND ANALYZE THE MEDIA. Learn to analyze what you are watching by observing what is in the advertisement and what is left out. 3: KNOW BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Ask questions like who produces the media we experience and for what purpose? Who profits? Who loses? And who decides? This analysis allows us to understand who drives our global economy and ultimately allows us to make better decisions based on our own opinions.

My article is about what specifically media literacy is and how we can implement it into classrooms to give children a better understanding of our society. The article features 7 excerpts from other articles about media literacy, such as "The 3 Stages of Media Literacy", which states "the principles and practices of media literacy education are applicable to all media- from television to T-shirts, from billboards to the Internet". I believe that media literacy, while it is something that is not needed, can greatly enrich a person's life, especially in the society that we live in today that focuses so much on advertising and different forms of communication.

this article gives us a lot of information on media literacy. it is divided into 4 parts the definition of media literacy, building on experience, the current landscape, and toward a media literacy movement. in the first part of the article it focuses on the idea of media literacy being different for everyone and that people of all ages use media literacy to understand media for all different reasons. but it does summarize that almost all use it and it is useful for all. as for the second part, it talks about how media literacy is a challenge in the United States of America but there is always some kind of new device or way to spread media literacy and make it more common in the USA. the second part also talks about how media literacy is spread/used in Germany and Canada and how its starting to be used and spread in the USA. part three talks about the challenges that the spread of media literacy has, not allowing it to spread as much as it should. in addition it takes these problems and states some opportunities that come out of them for the spread of media literacy. the fourth and final section of this article talks about the future and what people need to do if media literacy is going to be spread. after stating the needs that media literacy has in order to spread it then supplies the approaches that one/a nation should take in order to overcome these problems. overall this article attacks the problems that media literacy is facing that prevents its expansion but not only does it do that it also gives us many many many ways in which we can approach these problems a fix them, making media literacy a national and one day global ability.
