Media and Critical Thinking

in philosophy •  6 years ago 

I can agree with that statement "voting with your feet" although in the USA at least it may have held more meaning in the past. The federal system has become more involved in all aspects of law and government in the last century or so. State to state movement has lessened the impact of local migration mainly in state taxes paid but population ideals can be affected. Country to country has also lessened in this time period although you can find huge extremes between lifestyle and government. Also somewhere better could be near impossible to migrate to nowadays.

Actions in this sense represent dynamics in physics with the example of billiard balls bouncing around knocking other balls and the tables walls. A body in motion tends to stay in motion etc... I can also agree with this but if say a strong fan were placed far enough away to not really be seen but enough wind to interfere with the balls it could complicate what should happen with just simple dynamics from only the cue balls movement.

I would say that with a large populous of critical thinkers this works well, but when you are in the extreme minority to not give them an audience, they still grow beyond control. This was the main reason behind this bit of text, as just privately not consuming media doesn't seem to be working very well. If I could convince more people to analyze their media something could happen.

Thank you for you comments, very well thought out and appreciated.
