Contextual media aesthetics as the basis for media literacy

The point of this paper is that individuals should be regarded as the center of media literacy - not school, parent or media industry. Furthermore, this article insists that it is not enough to justify the nature of the media and the possibility of various information harming individuals. There is a fundamental problem than education, and that is to build a greater understanding of how human thinking works. Therefore, we focus on the specificity of the exposure of the media, and require cognitive theory to explain how people filter messages and build meanings from them.

Various scholars are proposing the theoretical framework of media literacy. Renee Hobbs identified three frameworks for introducing learners to media literacy: writers and audience (AA), information and meaning (MM), and performance and reality (RR). In the literature on integrated media literacy, information literacy, visual literacy, and new literature, she identified these core ideas that constitute the theoretical background of media literacy. Consciously produce sentences of the media. Some work by themselves and are made by individuals used only by themselves and their families and friends, but most are made and distributed by groups of people for commercial benefit. Media production often involves economic benefits and profit creation

Last year I am working hard to learn media literacy. I respect the main goals deeply. As Renee Hobbs wrote, media literacy is "active thinking and critical thinking about the information we receive and producing". In this area we will explain the development of functions and skills that help people analyze, evaluate and even create media. Media literacy is thought to allow individuals to have agents and to provide tools to help them build a democratic society. But fundamentally, this is a critical thinking that requires people to doubt what they see. This makes me nervous

Most media literacy supporters say that I do not have media literacy in school. And the ideal version they are aiming for is not. But it took ten years to graduate from various American schools. I immediately found out that there was bad media literacy. Students need to distinguish CNN from Fox. Or identify bias in news coverage. As far as technology is concerned, it usually appears in the form of "using Google without trusting Wikipedia." We may treat these conventions collectively as non - media literacy, but these activities are usually expressed in these ways.
