MINNA CHOUNG [TELEVISION]

Television may be another “major” media that influences a lot of people. Because most people think that televisions tell the truth and they only show the facts, people believe what they see on the television is true. However, this is how the television makes people to believe something that are not true by using their ‘media influence.’
On this news, it talks about the incident where racism was happening in the school. However, the administrators and the faculty of the school kept denying that the issue was not a racist issue but a religion issue. If anyone puts it that way, no one actually cares seriously enough about that issue. For me, I find this as a big problem because although it is a religious issue instead of a racist issue, people are being discriminated because of the other “beliefs” that certain people believe and worship.
