Discussion Questions: A Propaganda Model 3/30/17

1. Would reinstating the Fairness Doctrine of 1949 be enough to get mass media under control? Would the two main requirements: devoting some airtime to discussing matters of public interest and to air contrasting views regarding those matters, be enough to change the outcome of mass media?

2. Is the "power elite" too ingrained in our society to fully eliminate them? Would this require a complete make-over of our social and political society?  

343 Project #3

The inspiration for Project #3 came to me from a conversation my sister Natalie and I had. She wants to pursue a career in the Bureau of Land Management here in Nevada. She talked about how much of the BLM’s job is to monitor the wild horses and burros, and how they maintain and track the food and water supplies. My sister wants to a veterinarian, but is interested in the processes used by the BLM to keep the herd numbers for the wild horses and burros at safe level. These herd can double in size every four years, so ever now and then the BLM rounds up young colts and foals for adoption.

My picture is the face of one of our domestic horses Ben and the body of Blackwood. I chose this picture because of the color contrast between Ben, who is a soft yellow color and Blackwood is solid black. Unlike the wild animals this project was inspired by, my horses are friendly and allowed me to take pictures of them a will. Don’t forget wild horses and burros are still wild animals.
