Joshua's comment and plan towards the course

Today my first lesson of english media was very interesting. I found out that there are multiple truth in the media we live in, which it is always affected by the bias. Many people would not know this even they are always surrounded by the media, which for them everything they see is a version of the truth, even myself did not know that before. There was amazing truth i learned about the 'world map' issue, which i saw two different kind of maps by Mercator and Peter. Mercator's map was the modern map which today our society uses but it was not accurate size of a map which it was created for the purpose of political matter and trade. On the other hand Peter map which was created in 20th century was very accurate map that actually displayed all countries according to their proper size. When i saw Peter's map which was unfamiliar to me, i recognized that the size of Southern hemisphere was much larger than size it appeared on Mercator's map. Then why people today still use Mercator's map instead of Peter's map that is more accurate?. This really made me undersand how people see their relationship to the rest of the world. I really found interest in this course and i'm really looking forward to learn much more things on the media. In the past i didn't really know much things about the media and i didn't really want to know even i was surrounded by them all the time. The fact is media around had been created intentionally and there is purpose behind it. Therefore my plan towards the course is not only achieving high marks but also to understand more about the media so that i can view the truth.
