The Media Megaphone

I agree with Saunders on a majority of his points. He uses certain examples in such a way that totally relates to the world today. I think that he is very clever and really has an insight on his beliefs. His style of writing is laid back and very easy to relate to. The way he uses metaphors makes it easier to understand. It really makes you think about his comparisons to the world and makes very much sense to me.
The section of the article where he talks about everyone following one person because of their presence and the way they present their thoughts is true in today's culture. I was automatically reminded about politics and thought of how the person chosen or assigned to be in charge is rarely the best candidate. The person who wins is the one who makes the most impact on our thoughts.
Also, the section where he mentions how the media takes over the thoughts of the world is true to me. I do believe that they plant ideas into the peoples' minds and run with it. In some ways it is for the better, and a lot of times it is for the worse. Ideas spread as quickly as a horrible disease. They begin to take over the minds of innocent people and eventually spreads everywhere.
From this article I learned the comparison from early times to times now. There is some that is the same and alot has changed. The ways that people are affected seems to be very much the same as today. But now we are affected at a much higher degree. Technology has a big part of this. Technology is so much more advanced and changes the way we learn things and communicate with others. The world is changing, and honestly I'm not sure if it's for better, or for worse.
