The power of nightmares is a BBC documentary production that is trying to clarify some true stories behind today's crisis, wars and terrorist activities. The stories which the imperialists hide from the world to maintain their powers. The power which is achieved by uniting people against a phantom enemy; The enemy which may not exist in a way that imperialists are showing through their media. Here is a question that is all the pictures in this documentary had been captured during the crisis were happening, but why they are showing them to people today?
The media is in their hands, imperialists have money and power, as they may make an imaginary terrorist organization which may or may not really exist then may attack it then they show people that have succeeded in destroying the enemy, but after few years broadcast something totally different from what they someday had shown or exclaimed to the world.
The media actually is the power, if any country has a medium with such an output amount of productions and advertisements with people trusts as the west has, it would definitely has the power itself.
This video show us that we are only audiences of any messages that the imperialists show us, whether it is real or not we just rely on it maybe because it is brought to us by the west, and we will never find out the truth.
Reflection on Media Culture class:
The class was so interesting on last week, the topic and the video conveyed a lot of abilities about the media. We understood how media is really powerful in either positive or negative ways!
