6.Recently some stars have been criticized by the public for their endorsing(代言) false medicines,tainted milk products and so on.An online surevey asked if celebrity(名人) spokes-persons should bear responsibility for endorsing false or bad products.Thirty-four percent answered"yes".They said that the celebrities had betrayed the trust of the people and should be more morally responsible.
They are right.But what's more inportant is that we should train ourselves to be wise enough not to blindly accept what is being sold,even by our favorite stars.
No doubt,television advertisements-together with other media products-inform and entertain us.But,too often,there are hidden messages in the information we receive.The songs we hear,the images we see,and the articles we read,are carefully selected to convey political,cultural,economic and moral(道德的) messages.The mass media delivers us these messages in an attempt to persuade us into believing or buying whatever is being pushed.
The question is:should we always believe what the advertisement or mass media says?The answer is that we should use our minds to dig out the hidden meaning and rely on our own judgment to make a choice.
In some countries,students take a course called"media literacy(素養(yǎng))".They learn to analyze the mass media.They are encouraged to challenge everything they see or hear and to do research into missing views.They learn to ask questions and to be critical thinkers.
The training of independent thinking is important for Chinese teenagers,too.Always ask yourself.Who sent this message?Why?What points of view may have been ignored here?How might other people understand this message differently?
After answering these questions,we will be better prepared to make a decision on whether to buy the products or not.
