“A democracy can not exist which is controlled television, which has become a huge political power, potentially, you could say, the most important of all, as if God himself who spoke “
Karl Popper.
This is the title of a book written by the Viennese philosopher Karl Popper published by the Fondo de Cultura Economica in Mexico way back in 1998, Giancarlo Bosetti compiled and included the writings of Carol Wojtyla-the Pope John Paul II and John Condry. And arises from the interview that you did Bosetti Karl Popper about the struggle between Berlusconi and the circus he called the rules of conduct for a decent democracy, back in 1994. Popper liberal thinker who fought lifetime excess social engineering and state intervention, embodied in this book truly regulatory and interventionist ideas in this activity because of the dangers that he hovered over fingered society but especially on children and adolescents.
particularly emphasize this written by the impact it had on me the match in the intitulación and treating the subject with what my mother what the school does in the day, television destroys in an hour and so controlled the hours and TV shows we could see, we sat and guided explain what the magic box told us it was just a bad representation of what really happened in the day. Under these premises: critical analysis of the televised speech and of the press-master my mom finally said we taught my brothers and me
.
Many years later in 2002 witnessed the largest media manipulation against a country-the-orchestrated coup by and from the media, and most amazing of this lived experience was that even with all the, family formation academically am a teacher in the PFG Social Communication in the UBV-reader ravenous, promoter and partner in the drafting of the Law on Social Responsibility (which at that time I was being discussed) and scholar of communications issue however deceived me. Yes, you read: my media on the coup deceived and for short times (10 minutes) I thought the story, until I began to call comrades friends and I clarified what was actually happening.
Since that time I swore to myself to study the issue more and more to write and alert the rest of Venezuela and the world of the dangers for a society that embodies not have regulations on media but especially television.
Today is impressive evolutionary trend of communications, that is undeniable. But unfortunately this trend is toward the worst, because its excesses and lack of modesty, rigor in the processing of information, handling, use of spectacle to show the information and opinions, the use of violence and sex as a resource to capture more audience, in short, collaborate and implement the “civilization of spectacle” 1 at the expense of deterioration in the quality of democracy, and poor education and example for children and adolescents. This media crisis was worsened due to the voracious and insatiable appetite for the owners of these media by making more and more money, selling anything just to win every day more and more so at the expense and chop peoples .
radilcalmente Television changes the environment, changing the world through education and images that so brutally changed environment children and adolescents ranging extracted models to imitate, causing an unusual growth of petty criminals.
The University of California in 1995, produces an annual report Television Violence Monitoring Report and its director Jeffrey Cole reveals that “there is a correlation between exposure of children to violence TV and antisocial behavior. “
This paper
“electronic babysitter” that the pope spoke of television in our modern times, is wreaking havoc on the behavior of our societies. And I will stop to not write about how militaries understanding the “power” of suggestion and the ability to model media, make use of these strategies for psychological warfare and information warfare. Where what is sought is to annihilate an autonomous public, structured, polycentric and able to exercise permanent and effective control over the modus operandi of the institutions and the media and messages.
Pope Wojtyla staunch anti-, however, in 1996 recognized that “form the habits of children can sometimes just mean turning off the TV, because we have better things to do, or because the consideration for other family members so that the claim or indiscriminate television viewing can be harmful. Parents commonly used and longtime television as a kind of electronic babysitter, abdicate their role as primary educators of their own children. “
Mac Luhan, meanwhile talking about the crisis of the Soviet system, said that “when two societies living side by the other, the mental challenges of the most advanced in the other causes a burst of energy “. Meanwhile Brzezinski, Carter adviser, quoted by Wojtyla in 1978, published in his book Out Of Control claimed that until 1989 the proliferation of satellite antennas and accelerated the disintegration of the communist world, and thereafter the ether circus around the globe took their “permissive cornucopia”. Television series that encouraged the combination of moral emptiness, loss liability, mass hedonism, unlimited desire for self gratification through material consumption, while a very important sector of the world struggling to survive, detonators appear as a social explosion power consequences not yet properly studied.
From the media, but especially television, tend to stimulate the moral corruption and cultural decline. Popper says in this letter that “he knows it or not television has an educational function that is replacing the family and the school, including the Church” socialization agents par excellence. TV producers practice a true and authentic cultural pornography increasingly inclined to sexual and sensational and scandalous. They are saying Brzezinski ‘cultural deviants “who propagate protected in law and weak states, a socially self-destructive ethics. And at this rate we are going towards a collision between the insatiable consumer and bystander, deprived of everything that generates destabilizing effects, moral vacuum and threats to the democratic system.
The studious Italian Rossana Rossanda tells us that “the pervasiveness of television is therefore not as devilish means, is that the citizen can not be more spectator atom and Therefore dimensional. Some million people had become citizens in networks of political parties and trade unions, as well as parishes, subjects had returned in the struggle of ideas and social identity, which had been discovered and acted in the place of work, and thanks to the influence of television mediatizadota, all this has come to be less. “
The danger is not only on television and bad examples, but their presence in the culture and politics involves a structural change. Today the politician can speak to millions, and is subject to the culture and the media impose rules, forgetting morality and political ethics, and leaving aside also the quality of the argument used.
Television Internet-racing and own-importance social networks to survive against these competitors, has been developing increasingly shoddy materials and spectacular, to continue to capture public sacrifice for it, solid moral quality programs, productions and transmissions that teach children some kind of ethics.
Children are like sponges: they come into this world ready to learn from their environment and those who influence this environment: as family, peers, school and media
imagine some children and adolescents engaged in watching television about 5 hours daily, including movies, soap operas, commercials, news and reviews, and others, without the language used is care, elements of content with which these messages are processed, without sufficient critical capacity to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. The real violence that exists and we do not intend to deny it, is enlarged and spectacularized from and television. Through this media to children and adolescents, hours of violence is set.
state efforts for the media to understand their role in this situation, the Law on Social Responsibility with their strengths and weaknesses, and years later we are able to analyze cold , little or nothing has served to regulate this situation. Conatel has a sad role in this regard and it hurts to admit it. The regulations have fallen short against the excesses of the owners of these media: follow the productions where violence, gender and livelihoods, as justification for the drug trade out of poverty, modeling and stereotyping is justified about women as sex objects and all this in broad daylight and in the face of our institutions.
The INART, (Institute of Radio and Television) old slogan assumed by us and given by Dr. Frank Payares, has reached the absolute oblivion. This together with the University Institute of Media, is responsible for the regulation of the media, leaving the technical part Conatel specializing in telecommunications, speech critical training for all citizens, ongoing training of domestic producers, community independent, students from the Bolivarian Unefa Universities, and from Sucre Mission , and any other university in specialties that do not exist in Venezuela (semiotics to remove the radio and television messages, preparing sound engineers, technicians , screenwriters, playwrights, luminitos, videographers, public opinion, political communication, electoral communication, or after many specialties) and a technical level in technical schools and even the Bolivarian within training programs should be included transversely theme values, because to transform the content of TV and radio producers must form a new conception of audiovisual message handling this theme Institute broadcasters to open possibilities and massively this specialization.
To remove the violence in the country must not only tackle the issue of the judiciary and the justice system, training and professionalization of the police, education, culture, is a multidisciplinary approach to attack the problem, however, an urgent measure should be taking seriously the media issue, see for example what do Ravell via @ lapatilla yesterday showed the photo of one of the members nicknamed band “the Adolfito” and behind him on his head thug? A giant poster of one of Chavez and Maduro. What was the meta-message of this evil and ominous character? that we are all Chavista thugs.
These actions must stop them, apply the full weight of the law and prevent further additions to the social, political and racial hatred from the media is feeding every day.
Freedom of expression is not debauchery. No human right is absolute and that is why the Federal Government should assume a central task the duty to protect children and the collective right to a quality educational television. This basic obligation of the rule of law and justice that it will establish legal balances to ensure the responsible exercise of the rights and the elimination of abuse of power, as essential to progressively advance the realization of the rights of all individuals and medium groups, and based on the recognition of equal rights and responsibilities.
