Who are you picking on?! Challenging the Media.

!

You wouldn't pick on a child would you? NO. You know that the consequences of your actions will effect the child and their upbringing. Now how does this differ with the media? The media loves to highlight negative events and uses various techniques to stereotype and create profiles based on negative events, framing and emphasizing the negative in each circumstance, distorting our visions. Now look at the case of Hobbema, an Alberta reserve. Hobbema is a provincial and a national highlight in the news for negative events. How does constantly putting down the community make a difference? It makes situations much worse rather then instilling hope in individuals and communities. There are plenty of phenomenal programs running in this community that need to be recognized and promoted.
Maybe the key to success lies within support from others and positive output.
Have a valuable influence and see the positive!
