Week 2 Entry

Identify at least four social/cultural groups and what media you think they use. You can include photograph if you like.


            Media is a form of communication among the people throughout the world. How it works? It works by informing people about a particular event, issue, topic, gossip or incident that currently happen to the world. If talking about the uses of media, it is really wide use by the people. People uses media for them to communicate with each other, to share their event with others and many more. Nowadays, without media, people cannot have their entertainment, news, information and many wore. In other words, people nowadays are mostly depending towards the media to live.

            There are many type of media that exist in this world. Those media are can be divided to social media, printed media, traditional media, broadcast media and many more. For this task, I have to choose four social/cultural groups to describe their media that they use. The four social/culture group that I have chose are children, teenager, adult and the older.

            For children, regarding their age that still young, the media that suitable and been used by them is printed media. The printed media that they use are comics, education book, coloring book, spelling book and many more. All of these printed media are can be seen at the kindergarten. Kindergarten uses this kind of printed media to teach and educate the children. It is because this kind of media provides the technique that is suitable for teaching the children. Other than that, a part of education book, they also read comics as their source of entertainment at their age. There are many type of comics that exist nowadays in the new era.


            It is different media used by teenager group if we compare with the children group. For this group, their taste is different; they are more towards sophisticated era. They are mostly social media and mobile as their form of media that they use. The example of social media they use is Facebook. In fact, Facebook is the world's largest social media, with more than 900 million users and majority of them are teenagers. Other than Facebook, this group also uses YouTube as their media. For example, they posted a video showing their talent and share it in YouTube. So, they mostly communicate among each other using that two social Medias.

Now, we go to the next group which is the adult group. In this group, the media that they use the most is traditional media such as newspaper. Somehow, there are certain from this group that use social media. What can I say about this group is they are some of them that still wanted and willing to learn about social media that using electronic device.




            The older, the group that I think cannot accept anymore any kind of new technologies nowadays like mobile phone as their media. Like my parent, they are more comfort using the old media such as newspaper as their source to get information or news. If someone try to teach them using the new technologies, they will feel hard to get use with it.
