1) The media can present content that seems and is more or less real, however, it is our duty as viewers to be able to distinguish and differentiate between “reflections of reality, and constructions of reality". The main targets of the media are young people because they unconsciously believe everything the media tells them, from “how to talk, how to dress and how to relate to others”. This newspaper article, seeing is not believing, by Leslie Fruman, essentially explains that now “for the first time, students will take a required course to help separate fantasy from reality in the media.” The mandatory course is called media literacy and will teach young people about classifications between reality and fantasy.2) I believe that most teenagers today are aware of the underlying themes of the media and know that it is all written down, however, the fact is that teenagers they can identify so much with media themes that they slowly start to believe them. Once they are introduced to the characters, they gradually begin to see them as real and relate to them more and more.3) On average, students spent approximately 11,000 hours in school, 15,000 hours watching TV, and 10,500 hours listening to popular programs. music. This shows that the influence of the media is inevitable, and therefore unavoidable, and has a greater impact than schools.4) According to the Resource Book of the Ministry of Education “Media literacy is one of the few tools that allows teachers and students to challenge the vast inequalities of knowledge and power that exist between those who produce information in their own self-interest and those who innocently consume it as news or entertainment.” Media literacy is a course that helps students separate fantasy from reality in the media. Media literacy is a set of skills that allows people to critically analyze messages in the media. Using an inquiry-based teaching model, media literacy encourages people to ask questions about what they watch, see and read.5) a) I believe there is a strong connection between the messages these girls receive from soap operas that practically adoration as girls find soap opera characters so real and lively, to the point that they start asking questions and fantasizing about the boy of their dreams who brings with him all the characteristics represented in the soap opera. b) Boys endure just as much media pressure to conform to society's expectations as girls do: what differs between the two is the type of pressure they face.
