Assignment II

“And because mass media and communication convey powerful images in an instant across the globe, it dictates that struggles are fought as much through propaganda, ideas and values as through conventional means, military or diplomatic”.

I believe that the idea or the point of view of Tony Blair is true because thanks to the mass media and the images that it coveys people all around the world become aware of the information and the changes. and as we know images have great impact on people more that any other media tool. for example, during the attack of September 9/11, i believe that the images of the crash and of victims played a big and major role to inform and to guide the public opinion. Also sometimes we heard and read about the famine in Ethiopia and we just feel sorry for them; however, by seeing the powerful images that illustrate the actual state of those people, we react to change a situation because images are like proofs. So I believe that images are the mass media tool that could convey and mobilise people all around the globe.
