ch 5,9,15 part 1

The main thing I took away from Chapter 5 is what people mainly want out of television is a chance not to think but to let something else do it for them. Also that when you get information from media there is really no help associated with that media form. people over time try to obtain some sort of meaning from what they are watching and the problem becomes what is the actual meaning. the main base is that the meaning becomes conceptual or what it means to us. but as Philosophers have stated everyone has there own meaning of what is conceptual so then everyone has their own "private language." now I believe this it sorta true we all perceive things differently and place different meaning on things but at the same time we get alot of our meaning from the community.
