10.1 practice for CWT

I took a preparation test for CWT. It was about intercultural conflicts between a Japanese girl and a NewZealandic woman. I explained the conflicts using terms of fisher and barna. That was nice case study. If I really understand a statements or theory, I can see the world with their knowledge and frame.

In this case , I need little bit more reviewing.

9.28 Influence of media to our perception.

That day I was late for the class. I am sorry to have overslept. I wish I had listened the story about Iranian image among the people reading newspapers of the US or Japan because I have been to Iran last year and I talked with people in Iran about some topics including political issues, but not so much. Some young people I met at the hotel in Esfahan said they do not like their government because they have no freedom to press, to have sex before marriage and to drink alcohol.According to them, if they were seen drinking or known having sex, they would be arrested. On the contrary, the tour guide said that Iran has a lot of problems, but the society is changing now from conservative to liberal.

That was precious experience.

Speaking of the class, the media absolutely affect how people recognize societies. It is important to think about the image of society made by media and the real one. 

I wonder it is possible to see society without media.
