The documentary entitled "The Power of Nightmares (Part 3 - Shadow in the Cave)" by Adam Curtis was shown in class on Monday. How do you relate the information given to you in the documentary to the theory of Media Imperialism that we talked about in lecture?
According to the note was given by the MLC lecturers, Media Imperialism is the idea that powerful and wealthy countries can exercise economic, cultural and social control over others through control of media industries. And other way, media Imperialism also a theory stating that smaller countries are losing their identity due to the force-feeding of media from larger nations. It can be equated to small community shops closing down due to large superstores moving in, taking over and having a monopoly.
From the video, “The Power of Nightmares”. In my opinion American is a authority country. American can control the weaker eastern country. From media imperialism, they also want to control use by using media, because they have a very good and authority in this industries.
