Media Poverty Poster Analysis

330 Words2 Pages

Media Poverty Poster Reflection In media class, we were given the task of creating a media poster to promote poverty, and how we can help stop it. I had quite the struggle figuring out what to do, so I decided to do what I always do to get inspired, watch youtube videos. So, I went on my youtube videos, and saw one about the “Bedrooms of Children Around the World,” by Buzzfeed. This video featured children of different classes, and their bedrooms. There were some kids with luxurious bedrooms, and some that lived in the slums. The video also featured pictures of the kids, many who work instead of having an education. Inspired by that video, I made my poverty poster. My poverty poster features three different low class bedrooms of children

    Rank explains, “households in poverty can be found throughout a variety of unban and suburb landscapes, as well as in small towns and communities across rural America,” (Rank 2 of 3).

    One thing that Edin and Shaefer makes abundantly clear is that poverty has no face. Victims of a failing economic system come from different backgrounds and all have different stories. The 1.2 million families below the poverty line are black, white, Hispanic and Asian. Although there are different types of families living on $2.00 a day, many of the families have commonalities. For instance, I believe that Madonna, Jennifer and Rae had the most in common.

  • Poor Kids Documentary Summary

    I viewed Frontline a documentary series, which episode was entitled Poor Kids. The frontline personnel spent time with three children Kailey, Johnny, and Britany along with their families as they all struggle financially. We perceive a glimpse of what it is like to live below the poverty line in America through a child’s eyes. While observing the documentary, I became consciously aware that children who are considered poor or living below the poverty line were more mindful of the responsibilities of life. The children were worrisome of the lack of employment for their parents, bills, and in Britney’s case; how they would accommodate their way of living to support a new addition to the family.

    It was concluded that the issue of poverty and how the media often exaggerates the information was understood, but still didn’t think that, if the “ information was portrayed accurately it would benefit the issue”. Some presume that, since the world already has people aware of the situation, but nothing is done about it, increasing the awareness wouldn’t necessarily increase the benefits.

    Never the less, it’s ironic how in the 21st century we prize ourself for being progressive when almost half of us - over 3 billion people - can’t even conjure up what life is like beyond ‘the poverty trap’ they are in. We prize ourselves, when one out of every two children is poor. Can you imagine growing up as one of the 640 million kids whom have no adequate shelter, let alone a place to call home? Or the 400 million to whom safe drinking water is simply a figment of their imagination? Or maybe the 270 million who have no means of getting health care?
