Zack Snyder makes significant Progress on the Set of "Batman v. Superman"

Corporate Media vs. Democratization of Journalism

"As the companies duel, countries and communities often find themselves in the crossfire. Like all conflicts, the media war leaves a trail of victims and marginalised peoples."

Corporate media is a term which refers to a system of mass media production, distribution, ownership, and funding which is dominated by corporations and their CEOs.

Corporate media is projected through companies like NBC, ABC, New York Times, etc.

The problem with corporate media is that it is completely filtered for your ears and eyes. Take the New York Times for example. One of the most powerful jobs in this company is the Editor. The editor is who chooses what stories get published. If in New York, the mayor is buying drugs, gambling and buying prostitutes, we won't hear of it, even though we don't a man like that running our city. There are reasons why we will never learn about him and one is because of the editor. If you were the mayor of a city, wouldn't you befriend the person that could make or break your image? Basically, the corporate media shows only what they want you to see, not what you want to see.

Democratization of Journalism is a term which refers to the modern mass of media spread. The news may tell you one thing, but the freedom of the internet now allows us to permit new, closer and deeper access to more "efficient" information. So in the same picture as the editor and the mayor, someone perhaps caught or took a picture of the mayor handling his dirty work.

"My Panic Falls on Deaf Ears!"

When speaking of Genocide, being voiceless is a huge issue, within North Korea in particular. According to the United Nations, since 2004 to May of 2014, 1.6 million have died in North Korea, due to purges and concentration camps. If that’s not alarming enough for you, listen to this: these conditions bestowed upon those in North Korea are statistically speaking very similar, if not worse than those Hitler bestowed upon the Jews in Nazi Germany. Michael Kirby, head of a three-member U.N. panel that spent a year investigating the abuses, said what the North Korean Gov. is doing isn’t genocide. It’s not? How is a million people dead not news? Many Americans believe that since genocide does not happen in our country makes it not our problem. And I am here to tell you that is a lie. The "Trail of Tears" happened in our country. So genocide is very much our issue. According to Lilian Anderson, interviewed in 2011 on Sequoyah.edu says “the Native had to walk; all the old people that were too weak to walk anyway and carry the food and the blankets which they allowed to have." When speaking of the Armenian Genocide, it was a time, much like the U.S today, when the entire nation faced economic struggles. The Turkish government came into Armenia, made all the men leave their families to go “work” in “factories” to bring in revenue for the nation and their families. After weeks, Turkish soldiers returned to retrieve the mothers and children. Of course they asked about their husbands and fathers. They were told then the men were still “working” and that they are being relocated closer to them for the time being. Now the woman and children walked for hundreds of miles. Meanwhile, the men that were “working” were being slaughtered. We have got to find a new way to think about Genocide, because we have done a terrible job with stopping genocide in the 20th century. From the Armenian Genocide of 1914 to Nazi Germany in WWII, Cambodia in 1978, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995 and of course Rwonda in 1994. Now, we are deep into a new century, with genocide still happening. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

What do I stand for?

What do I stand for? WHAT is the ghetto? On the one hand, it's a literal space, erected from barriers of race and class. But it's also a metaphorical space, a set of stereotypes about communities and cultures. Anthony Mundine,(born 21 May 1975) is an Australian professional boxer and former rugby league player. He is a former, two-time WBA Super Middleweight Champion, a IBO Middleweight Champion, and an interim WBA Light Middleweight Champion boxer and a New South Wales State of Origin representative footballer. Anthony is from "The Block." The Block is a ghetto in Australia which is more than often neglected. Anthony's main goal in life is to train and coach younger boys on how to carry themselves like men; he does so by keeping them in his boxing academy. This is similar to me in many ways. One of which is also to keep kids off the streets by keeping them occupied in school or sports etc. This story completely relates to me and where I come from. I originate from a community where if you are black or brown, you either go to jail, catch a case from the feds, a father or dead. I've always wanted better for myself. When I was 15, I was into the wrong crowd. See, in my neighborhood, its always having to fit in or risk the danger of being alienated. That means getting beat up or mugged on a day-to-day basis. Now, this wrong crowd was a "gang", or that's what they referred to themselves as. It was more like a clique that did stupid, idiotic stuff. One night, we decided to go out and tag up some walls. Boy, was that a mistake... We were in Inglewood, near Lennox. They were tagging and asked me what I was going to add to the wall. I thought about it for a minutes and then I finally got it: Inglewood Sentinels. But the mood changed very fast. As soon as I grabbed to spray can, in the distance, we heard a car pull up. Out the window, a guy, our age, screamed out the window, "WHERE YOU FROM?!" The leader of or pack threw up and I and a W for Inglewood. Then the other guys from the car reached into their waist. We all took off running. They starting shooting. There was 7 people in our group at the time and two of us got shot. I say us because I was one of them. Although, it only grazed my ribs, it was still the eye opening experience that turned around the course of my life. It made me realize how precious life is. When I was running, the first thing that came to mind was "did I love? Did I do anything that I will be remembered for?" The answer to both of those questions was no. I lived a life of hate. Despising everyone. But that experience was the turning point. Since then, I've engaged myself in my academic and sport to occupy my time more efficiently. When I am of age, I wish to do the same a Anothony Mundine, keep these youngins out of the street by occupying their time more creatively. That is what I stand for. http://www.sbs.com.au/theblock/#/anthony
