Participant #1
1. The media affect the society mainly in how they interact, from television to the cell, the way one interacts with the world is very different from 100 years ago thanks to these media 2. I have given in my entertainment options, presently i have a number of ways to mess around thanks to the means of communication, 3. The media often manipulate the people and made to feel inadequate, there are many corporations that capitalized on that, like makeup, the products of diets among others. These corporations create economic impulses in the country as they create many jobs, so that this could be seen as an advantage in terms of economy. 4. The commercials, magazines and the images. 5. Giving less importance to what we see on television and the internet. 6. I have not had any similar experience. 7. I have relatives that have been manipulated to buy beauty products and diet, want to become more like the average.

Participant #2
1. I think that the Media affect greatly the society in a diverse and a vast way. The media can help positively or negatively today's society. They are able to increment someones status economically, politically, and culturally, as well as diminish it. 2. The media has attacked me in many ways. I'm a muslim woman and and arab, and in the media has created a horrible stereotype of what an arabic muslim woman is. People see me as a terrorist and a subordinated person to muslim men; when this is all the contrary. Islam is against terrorism and sexism. Nevertheless, when it comes to Islam, all of the media try to humiliate a muslim person. 3. I think that the advantages the Media has by manipulating the society is control and power. If the society believes everything the media says without investigating what the real truth is, then a direct way, the society's thought is being controlled by the media. 4. We live in a technological era and in a technological country. Therefore, we're directly exposed to the media at every instance. Because we're so exposed to media, such as the television and radio, we're constantly hearing worldwide news from a specific point of view. In other words, instead of only being notified about the news mostly from certain perspectives only. Therefore, I would say that the tools that the media uses are: constant exposure and notification of news from determined points of view. 5. We can't obviously eliminate the technology, and it would be extremely difficult to diminish the media. I think that the solution must firstly go individually, and afterwards attack it in a bigger way, with communities. First, individually, we must stop believing at first instance everything we here from the media, and investigate more profoundly. Afterwards, we should educated the people around us about the falacies that the media spreads. 6. My experience was, as I told earlier, that I have been discriminated by many people around me because of the wrong image the media has spread about an arabic muslim women. The media insults and harrasses the muslims arabs, and they indicate that we are terrorists and horrible people. Therefore, people around me look at me weirdly and sometimes they make offensive comments. 7. My family experiences the same because their muslim arabs as well. Nevertheless, we haven't let this stop us from living happy. All the contrary, this has been a reason to educate people about what Islam is really about.
