With all of the political issues taking place, there was a strong and general distrust in the American government and local authorities.

The film explores the exploitation of journalism, the responsibility that reporters hold in context to their stories, and the nature of the camera.

It is important to continue to diversify these media industries because they play such an important role in our everyday lives.

Through print and broadcast journalism, advertising, public relations, television and film, one’s perception of the world is formed. A person’s story is best told by that individual and the same thing applies to media in terms of race.

After watching the video Art 21. I deeply agree with Wodiczko’s comment on how people feel more comfortable talking to strangers through the beauty of art, than to talk to love one’s about personal and painful experiences in person. The idea of sharing your story through a monument is an amazing idea because it allows people to speak out and express themselves about the several issues that we as a society are afraid to talk about for the fear of being judged, treated differently or even harassed by the media.

Shaw hatched the plan inspired by Brad Pritt's character in "Fight Club." UNESCO initiated a project in 1997, which analysed the importance of the impact of media violence. Around 5000 twelve-year-old children from 23 different countries, participated in the project. The research showed that 51% of the children claimed they would like to be like the antagonist from the movie 'Terminator', Arnold Schwarzenegger as he represents the characteristics which children think are necessary to cope with difficult situations.
