| Summary: | "Very often images and stories told in the media stick to us like splinters in our minds. Feeling pain, anger, powerlessness, or sadness becomes unavoidable, and we are forced to live with the burden of those images and what they make us feel. Is this the price that we have to pay for information? What are we supposed to do more than feel bad towards the pain of others, and constantly regret the world in which we have to live? Would it be better being apathetic or numb to tragedies that people have to live? And if we get fully convinced of the negative impression news give of our reality, what is left for us to do? Still we keep looking maybe pushed by attraction, curiosity or by our social duty of keeping ourselves informed. ... Maybe we are part voyeurs, cannibals, martyrs, sadists, and caring philanthropes while we consume these images and the tragedies which they represent. Either way, we were trapped in the endless cycles of the audiovisual".-- Tomado del Formato de Documento de Grado. |
