There has been many research explained the reason why more and more of violence behavior in society has dramatically increase such as criminal, robbery, rape etc. One of the reasons is media images. Media images can include television images and newspaper images. As a matter of fact, images are what people see in everyday.

Moreover, the technology of printing or presenting the pictures have been developed than last recent year for example, using a full color picture or using special technique to capture the picture. These techniques sometimes make the reader feel too realistic. However, before preceding the media images need to past the process which control by policy and government.

Summaries the first seminar(Fri 25/07/08)

Task: Television viewing habits around the world

Conclusion for the topic:

In my group, we have got 6 nationalities; Japan, Iran, China, Vietnam, France and Thailand. Starting with Japan, what interested me is about the programme that show in the afternoon which mostly is a cooking show. The reason is because in Japan there are a lot of house wives staying at home in the afternoon. So the cooking programme is what suite for these kind of audiences. Lets move on to Iran, the special thing is that there is one of local channel that have 24 hours news. Also people in the country like to watch news. Moving to China, the information I have heard amazed me. The amount of the channel in the whole country are 2 million channels. Moreover, there are 200 million people watching the tele in the evening and in the weekend amount increase for two times more than in the evening time. For Vietnam, there is no watershed for all the programmes in this country yet. In France, people in this country normally have their dinner at 8 o’clock and also watch the news in their dinner time. Lastly for Thailand, 38% of teenager watches the television for 3 hours a day. Most of the programme they watch is sit-com programme.

Feeling about this seminar:

From the start of the seminar we shared all the information of our own country. Each of us have a very good participating in the group. As the owner of each country telling about their own information the others ask what they are curious in the end of the speaking. Furthermore, in the middle of the seminar there are some topics which some of us have different ideas we shared and discussed. In the final of the seminar we also have another conclusion before we finish to revised all the data.

What I want more in the next seminar:

In this time I feel very good for the seminar, however, there was no the conclusion(presentation) for both two groups at the end of the seminar. In fact, it is because we ran out of time. For next seminar timing for the meeting might be able to help two groups conclude the data and will be use full for the real semainar.
