CST/IST project 5 August 7th, 2008What influences your values about issues relating to your life?
Many things have influenced my values such as the media, my culture, my family, friends and many other things. The media had influenced my values because I always tend to hear and read a lot of media and I tend to believe on what it says from the different ranges of Medias such as television broadcast, radio broadcast and newspapers. The media has practically been my own personal dictionary to the events of life.
Do you ever compare images/values presented by the media to those of the bible? If so why? If not, why not?
At times it maybe yes and there is times when I don’t compare images/ values of the media to those of the bible. At times I do refer to the bible because I always think a lot and so when I see an act of violence or rape I always think how Jesus said that we should love one another and also your neighbour even if they have done wrong. But there are also times when I do not look and think of the bible because an article can get so interesting that you want to know more of the article and the bible just does not come into place when the article is being read.
Has this project challenged you to examine your values? Why / Why not
Yes this project has challenged me to examine my values because most of my values have been relied with the media giving me the answers to the wrongs and rights. Therefore it deals with things that may relate to us and be useful in the near future. And so I need to consider on my thoughts of my own values
