Negative and Positive media NegativePositive  Makes a bad Example  Lies  Portrays a certain group of people as bad  Gives a bad name for people  Sends a good message  Does not give specific people a bad name  Uses facts not assumptions  Is uplifting and Inspiring  Helps people get through situations Because I choose an uplifting subject that is media based here are the negatives and positives of Media.

Batman Will Help you Succeed!  While much of the media is negative, I believe that Batman has a good message, that uplifts and Inspires.

The Music Of Batman Begins and the Dark Knight  Once you hear the music of Christopher Nolan's batman Universe composed by Hans Zimmer you will be Inspired.  It is this Inspiration that will help you get through tough situations in life.  When I had problems in my youth, the music crept up into my ears and I was able to solve any problem.  Much like people use to be inspired by Beethoven, people will be inspired by Hans Zimmer’s batman score. 

People have The Strength  In the Dark Knight there is a scene where two boats are riddled with bombs, one boat carries civilians, and the other carries hardened criminals. Each boat is given a detonator, if one boat does not blow up the other then both boats are blown up. The joker did this to show that everyone is just as ugly on the inside as himself. Fortunately know one blows up the other boat, and it’s because not everyone is ugly on the inside.  How does this relate to the problems youth have? Many ways, for instance in the case of peer pressure. Because someone else does something it means you have to do it right? No…. This is a good example of fighting through peer pressure.  On the inside people have the strength to overcome serious odds, even if you think that it will end extremely negative for you.  Here is the scene it is in two parts:

A message from Batman Begins  Thomas Wayne: “You know why they attacked you, don't you? They were afraid of you.” Bruce Wayne - age 8: “Afraid of me?” Thomas Wayne: “All creatures feel fear.” Bruce Wayne - age 8: “Even the scary ones?” Thomas Wayne: “Especially the scary ones.”  Know about the person or person’s who is bullying you. Know that the reason they are bullying you is because they are afraid.

A message from the Dark Knight  “James Gordon Jr.: Why's he running, Dad? Lt. James Gordon: Because we have to chase him. James Gordon Jr.: He didn't do anything wrong. Lt. James Gordon: Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.”  Yes, you might feel down, you might be broken, you might just want It all to end. But remember that even though you may not be the individual that people want, you are the individual that the people need, YOU ARE… A DARK NIGHT!
