Media and Information Literacy

Interpret the words "Language is a Source of Misunderstanding".

                > Many people can have different interpretations about the message being given and along with the help of non-verbal cues, people might start to assume and could look to a person with a different view that is possibly affected by a person's bias and emotions.

 

Does the user's/audience's own background or experience affect the interpretation of the message?

                > Yes, because people could create bias from their past experiences with the sender of the message and the bias may alter the interpretation of the listener.

 

Is it possible that a different individual derives a different meaning from the message? Explain.

                > Yes, because people interpret differently from their own experiences and background which could lead them to think of different ways of determining the meaning of a message.

What information codes, conventions, and messages about our country is communicated through advertisements?

If you are to create a postcard for a place or organization of your choice, what technical and symbolic codes would you use to convey important information and create the desired impression? Why?

            >  I would add the symbol of the place or organization in order for them to know that the postcard is meant to them and I could add pictures to convey my own thoughts or ideas.
