The Media as a cultural story-teller.

The media shows you about a certain lifestyle. It can influenced and be influential. It had changed the lifestyle of many people. An example, women are now more "voiced" in many aspects as compared to in the past. Many things can be learnt through the help of the media, not just facts but also inspiring values. We chose "The Avengers" to find some values.

Righteousness. As portrayed by Nick Fury. Fury is strongly adhered to his moral beliefs. Fury had a vision on assembling “The Avengers Initiative” since the very start, by making the “ultimate weapon” gathering 4 special individuals as the “trump card” for S.H.I.E.L.D. Besides being extremely observant and critical, Fury’s righteousness in getting things going, pretty much built S.H.I.E.L.D. Personally, the value Fury portrayed, in how he’s able to wrap up something so bizarre that leaves an impact on the audience.

 

Teamwork. Something very obvious for a superhero movie. Captain America, who happens to be the ‘leader’ of the bunch. As you’ve watched throughout the movie, you begin to realize it shows something valuable. Everyone’s working together. It does inspire someone to have that nature of being a team player and work as one organization. That every unique character has the capability to be useful.

Agent Phil Coulson. He carried an indescribable value. This loyal and fearless Agent stands for the safety of his nation. Working with The Avengers, particularly Captain America, who has always been his idol, Coulson goes all out defending for his cause. Coulson died going solo against Loki (a God) and inspired ‘The Avengers’ to unite, Coulson portrayed a beautiful value.



Apart from being thought precious values, the media constantly feed our minds to think and question most of what we do. Without the aid of the media, we may be clueless as in making our next move. We learn that media plays a crucial role in our lives.
