Why The News Has Nothing To Do With News - Duration: 9:47.
Hello guys, today I welcome a very special guest and we bring to you a collaboration.
He shares insightful animations on various topics, so make sure to check out his channel
afterwards.
Before we begin I'll let him introduce himself for you.
Hey everyone.
I'm Thought Monkey and I'm excited to have worked with The Journey on this video.
Every step was an insightful experience and it really helped me to expand my ideas and
thoughts on this topic.
Today we're going to be talking about why the news has little to do with the news.
The news these days is filled with sensational headlines meant to constantly grab our attention.
But why?
Shouldn't the news just be a report on significant events that have an effect on our lives?
Why are we flooded with "breaking news," and trending tweets that don't matter?
There are two events that are covered in the news world – those that happen spontaneously
and those that are what the author Daniel Boorstin call "pseudo-events."
Spontaneous events are events that happen by themselves – things like a local Earthquake
or terrorist attack – in other words they are rare but important enough that the news
will cover them because they are noteworthy enough.
Pseudo-events however are planned, man-made, and mostly predictions of probabilities that
may or may not occur.
They are mostly used in self-interest as a way to grab attention and gain coverage.
For example there might be a hotel that wants more business.
So they hire a PR firm that tells them to set up a celebration of their 13th anniversary.
They form a committee of rich people, plan the event and hire photographers and journalists
to report on it.
If this were a truly an important event it would all happen on its own.
There'd be no need to hire photographers and reporters because they'd be there naturally.
In other words the power to make an event reportable is really based on the power to
make an experience.
A false report like this hotel anniversary affects people's perception of reality – of
what actually is important and what is not.
But before the 20th century people didn't expect exciting news every single day.
It was ok if the news was boring or the paper wasn't even published that day because nothing
may have happened that was noteworthy.
Nowadays we expect sensational news daily or even hourly.
And the journalist is expected to find a story where there is no story.
There is increased demand for illusion, which has resulted in a change in how the news is
delivered, but also a change in what we expect from the news.
The news is now a business and if we didn't create and implement pseudo-events, thousands
would be out of work.
Fake news has become the norm and has been propagated even more with the invention of
television.
TV has made it easy to deliver constant news to millions of people.
This has increased the media's ability to feed its audience content, while at the same
time financially supporting itself.
There is surely benefit in watching certain TV shows like documentaries.
Nonetheless, in his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, Neil Postman argues that most of
what's on TV actually attacks literacy and critical thinking instead of promoting it.
Most of the programs and news we watch, are rarely informative or thought-provoking, the
focus is only to amuse.
We may think of TV as a evolution of journalism.
But it's not.
The automobile, a continuation of the horse.
Electricity replaced candles.
TV however, is not in the slightest the subsequent of typography and the written paper, but merely
that of the telegraph and photography.
Just think about it.
When you watch TV you are actually watching moving images.
The average TV shot is 3.5 seconds so the eye never gets to rest and always has something
new to see accompanied by complementing sounds.
It has nothing to do with sharing information.
They need your attention so they could put food on the table.
Welcome to the age of show business.
Notice when people are talking on TV there often is no time for them to stop and think.
That would be seen as boring or awkward.
But this is a natural part of how we communicate with one another.
If we were to watch people on TV have real discussions, we would be bored for the most
part.
No one wants to watch someone think or fumble over their words.
An example would be modern political debates; each person is required to make a list of
ideas before the show, rehearse, and is then granted a limited time to convey them, a threshold.
Now, how in hell can a politician introduce his campaign in less than three minutes, let
alone another one be able to criticize him in two minutes?
Same goes for the so-called intellectual shows where the author is questioned not about the
actual ideas in his book, but on surface-matters like his childhood, how inspiration came to
him, or about his family.
More often the show lingers around the hot journalist asking the questions and the excellent
camera positioning.
The problem isn't that TV entertains us.
It's that it presents almost all subject matter in an entertaining way.
As Wilson Bryan Key put it: "even the killings are funny.
" Wonder why would they broadcast a war or a terrorist attack if the viewer has no say
in it, and can't do anything about it?
For them it is no different than airing an action movie, both add up in entertainment.
The News is on four times a night, has attractive anchors on it that talk with a weird news
accent, engaging in friendly banter, and constantly flood you with sensational headlines that
hook you by telling you part of a story, then say "find out more after these commercials"
or "make sure to join us tomorrow".
What for?
The violence broadcasted in a single report is enough for a whole month of restless sleep.
Still, we do accept the news anchor's invitation because we realize consciously or subconsciously
that what we're watching is by no means of serious nature.
There's no conspiracy here.
It's just an understanding that good TV means exciting pictures, music, people, and
stories that grab attention.
It has nothing to do with treating today's global concerns.
On the contrary, everything is distorted and served in a way to stimulate, and of course,
help the business of news get paid.
On TV, with their frequent bloody arguments and contentions, the role of politicians and
thinkers became more so that of actors in a film rather than thought-provokers.
Postman says that today's American culture is best symbolized by Las Vegas – a place
entirely devoted to constant entertainment, such is the case for American media.
And sadly, the mediums through which information is shared often will reflect the intellectual
level of a whole culture, provided the person maintains regular exposure.
Keep in mind both of the previous books were written long before what we know as the internet
today was accessible to billions of people.
TV is slowly being put out of business by the internet.
Of course, with this comes pros and cons.
Today, and especially in terms of political matters, blogs are the new medium.
And they're often driven to cover content by what's trending on Twitter or Facebook
or whatever is going to sell the most clicks or get the most views.
Remember that the media has an incentive to capture your attention because it makes its
money off advertising.
If no one watches or reads their content – they don't make money.
The author Ryan Holiday is an expert at figuring out what people will click on.
According to what he wrote in his book "Trust Me I'm Lying", manipulating the media
and scamming your way into the headlines is easier than you might think.
It starts with bloggers who will do anything for traffic because first that's how they
make their money and second they are paid very little.
For example to make $60,000 a blogger needs to get 1.8 million views a month.
How do they do that?
They often use click bait headlines, cover fake stories, sell sensationalism, sex, scandal
or hatred, or just make up stuff by going on craigslist and look under the section about
what people are complaining about today.
Some may even be driven to pay people for comments and pageviews.
In one example of how desperate bloggers are for content that will give them traffic – Holiday
made a fake memo, sent it out to a bunch of bloggers as if he were an employee leaking
that memo from his boss.
What happens next?
It's common that bloggers don't check their sources and still write about it on
their blogs.
It starts getting traffic and begins to trend.
The mainstream media then picks up on it and see that there are enough bloggers writing
about it that they believe it's credible.
They then talk about it on the news with their accents and seconds later millions upon millions
of people in the U.S. believe whatever it is they just heard.
In addition, today's blogs also help make history, and can be the cause of someone's
unfounded fame or imminent death in vain.
Ryan brings up the case of Tim Pawlenty.
The guy had no campaign and wasn't even a recognized figure in the elections of 2012.
He made it quickly to the top and nearly became president of the United States.
How come?
Well he simply hired a reporter from the blog "politico" to follow him from one city to
another with a camera and a laptop, documenting his non-campaign.
From there came the snowball effect.
Major blogs like "The New york Times" often sponsor and get their article ideas
from smaller ones like "Politico," and since any news is better than no news in terms
of views - what happened was "The New York Times" covered "Politico" covering Pawlenty.
Much like a ponzi scheme.
The guy went from zero to hero with just a few clicks and a camera.
Some say it's crazy to think that the media manipulates us.
But if you just start to notice how much of the news is filled with "pseudo-events,"
and how TV is filled with imagery and sounds that hook your constant attention, and how
what's trending on the internet often makes it onto the nightly news, you'll begin to
realize just how infected our media is.
Most of us don't think twice about this kind of stuff – but that might just be because
when "we play by their rules long enough - it becomes our game."
Thanks for watching guys.

BBC Learning English 6 Minutes | How do pets navigate? - Duration: 6:17.
this is a download from BBC learning English to find out more visit our
website English from BBC learning english.com welcome to six minute
English the program where we bring you an interesting topic and six useful
words or phrases I'm Neil and I'm Dan today we're talking about one of the
last mysteries of science no not if the universe will keep expanding forever but
this how did cats and dogs find their way
home over long distances mmm we hear incredible stories of lost pets
travelling tens and even hundreds of miles home but scientists struggle to
explain how they do it we'll hear the view of one scientist today but before
that I have to ask an important question Neil are you a cat person or a dog
person that's easy I'm a cat person for sure
dogs are just well their hard work aren't they if you say you're a cat
person it means you prefer cats a copy person
prefers coffee a something person likes or prefers that thing often over another
thing back to the topic I am a cat person but can you answer this Dan
recently a cat called Omar made headlines for being possibly
the world's longest cat how long is Omar is it a a hundred and twenty centimeters
B eighty centimeters or C a hundred and eighty centimeters I'm going to say C a
hundred and eighty centimeters now from Long cats to long-distance cats
scientists were scratching their heads a couple of years ago when a lost cat
called Holly travelled 200 miles to get home how did it do it we say scratch
your head when you're confused about something there are a few theories about
how cats and dogs navigate but we don't yet have the full answer well both cats
and dogs have an extremely powerful sense of smell of course smells are like
signposts they let you know where you are visual landmarks also play a role
just as they do with humans a landmark is something very easily recognized a
big building or mountain for example and what about this one magnets are pieces
of metal which attract certain other kinds of metal for example iron or steel
the earth itself has a magnetic force Birds use it to help them navigate over
thousands of miles it tells them where North is it's thought they have some
iron in their beaks but some scientists think mammals also have this capability
so we have a few ideas smell landmarks magnetic forces but can we explain how
one kitty traveled over 200 miles by itself back to its home let's hear from
cat and dog expert dr. John Bradshaw how did cats build up the maps in their
heads
what they do when they are in a new territory is explore it in a very
systematic way so they'll go out in ever-increasing circles they'll
literally construct a mental map in their heads and so a cat that's lost its
territory probably does the same thing they will rely on the idea that if they
go out in increasing circles or rectangles and eventually they will
either come across the territory or they'll come across a smell carried on
the wind of the territory that they used to live in and then be able to get home
cats have a systematic approach which means they use a system which is first
they walk around their area in a small circle then a bigger one and then a
bigger one until they have a strong mental map of the place yes a mental map
is a map in your head stored in your memory and the area cats explore their
home area is called their territory cats are territorial which means their
territory is very important to them having a map is great but what happens
when a cat gets lost dr. Bradshaw says that again it moves around in bigger and
bigger circles until it finds a clue which is a landmark or a smell that
tells it where it is well that's the theory though dr. Bradshaw says we
really still don't have enough data that's enough information about this
when there is a scientific breakthrough we'll bring it to you in six minute
English I hope for now let's content ourselves with Omar possibly the world's
longest cat how long then damn I said 180 centimeters Omar measures 120
centimeters that's over two-thirds of my height and weighs a heavy 14 kilograms
well one thing Neil if Omar ever got lost he'd be found in no time
he's a landmark in himself which reminds me let's run through today's words again
if you're a cat person you prefer cat if you're an evening person you prefer
evenings I've always thought you were a kind person that's nice of you to say
but we only use the phrase with nouns not adjectives indeed we don't want
listeners to be scratching their heads no we can't confuse them so let's
explain the next one clearly a landmark is something easily recognized
that lets you know where you are the bridges in London are landmarks and can
we say the parks are magnets in summer a magnet is a piece of metal that attracts
iron and steel but we can also use the word more widely to describe things that
attract other things to more words territory is a noun the area of land
that an animal considers to be its own animals who feel this strongly are
described as territorial humans can be two about land or subjects they feel
they own or control and finally systematic the adjective from system we
can talk about a systemic approach a systematic solution a systematic study
and we have systematically worked our way through all of today's words very
good which means it's time to mention our own online territory our website and
social media pages check us out on Facebook Twitter Instagram and YouTube
and of course BBC learning english.com bye bye for now goodbye 6 new English

How do smartphones affect the body and brain-infographic - Duration: 2:47.

How do smartphones affect the body and brain-infographic
You know this but smartphones emit blue light that lets us read whatever is on the screen
even in sunny weather.
This light does not turn off as per the daily hours and is emitted all the time from phones,
laptops, TVs and more.
The light that imitates the sun brightness, makes your brain confused to think is daytime
even at night.
This stops the brain from falling asleep and releasing melatonin hormone for sleep.
So experts advise you to turn off all gadgets 2 hours prior sleep.
Melatonin is released by this tiny organ in the brain – pineal gland a few hours before
sleep.
Why this blue light keeps us awake led to the photoreceptor Melanopsin.
We have been familiar with many cones and rodes for the vision and Melanopsin was just
discovered recently in the retina ganglion cells that are blue light sensitive!
Ever since, studies claimed that average person that uses mobiles before bed has troubles
sleeping.
The blue light impact is worse for teenagers who are more under risk than adults.
The circadian rhythm shifts in adolescence and makes teenagers be restless more.
Video games or TV shows before bed are enough to postpone sleep for a few hours.
BLUE LIGHT IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM
Dr. Martin Blank, Physiology and Cellular Biophysics Department joined experts worldwide
who made appeal to the United Nations about the dangers of EM devices like WiFi and mobiles.
There are many dangers from these devices and mostly they link to cancer.
The kids' brains get more radiation by 4 times even compared to adults and kids hold
gadgets all the time.
The love for screens is problem by itself.
In China this screen addiction is a clinical issue and many rehab centers exist for this
for young people addicted to screens.
There is still no 100% proven results for these rehabs but they show the dark picture
of reality.
WHAT TO DO
First, limit the screen use before bed, turn off the screens before sleep.
Try reading instead!
Also download the app f.lux that adjusts the color of the screens as to the daily time,
warm during night, bright during the day and reducing the blue light.
Many similar apps exist for phones not just big screens of PCs.
Here at CE we all use such apps and have seen better results regarding sleep.
Visit this page for more studies into screen staring and sleep, as well as all the science
facts behind f.lux too.
Whether or not you worry for the sleep, you will benefit for sure from pausing these dangerous
screen habits.

Do You Believe This Story About Why Melania Trump Looks So Miserable With Her Husband? - Duration: 1:11.
Do You Believe This Story About Why Melania Trump Looks So Miserable With Her Husband?
You can�t help but notice the tension between Donald Trump and his wife Melania. There�s
nothing subtle about it. After all, this was the same woman who looked like she wanted
to weep at the Inauguration, the same woman who literally swatted her husband�s hand
away as he tried to grab hers. We wrote a whole slideshow about it. That�s how often
her disgust for him is visible.
I know I wondered what the hell was going on. I mean yes, being married to Donald Trump
must seem like torture. But it�s a job she signed up for, as far as we know. So why can�t
she fake the funk in public like all the other dissatisfied wives out there?
Well, writer, activist and TED Talk speaker, Monica Byrne has a story. Unfortunately, while
Byrne can�t reveal her source, it sounds more plausible than a little bit.
She shared this bit of knowledge and asked journalists to do some digging of their own
to validate her claims. thanks for watching. please subscribe my channel.

How Bad Do You Want It? - Study Motivation - Duration: 6:52.
If there's one thing I've learned over the last ten years
Stay in front of the competition because there's two ways in this industry. You move with it, or it moves you
And I've seen so many sad stories across the decade where chefs have just got lazy
Got lazy given up and lost that hunger to be competitive
Never ever ever give up
I think that's the kiss of death is if you're convinced that you're going to fail or fall or get hurt
that will come to fruition because that's what you're visualizing. I never vision
You know I was willing to get hurt along the way, but I didn't visualize myself getting hurt along the way
And I think that's what stops a lot of people, and that's really what separates a lot of people from being
World Champions or from being as good as they can because they stop at some point saying oh, no, I?
I am not capable of this or I'll probably get hurt doing this and if you approach anything with that hesitation
You're going to fail. I always approached it like
This is going to work. I'm going to figure this out, even if it takes me
hundreds of attempts
The difference between successful people and not successful people, are people give up. People wake up every morning
They have doubt, they have fear, they lose in a Ferrari race or they lose in a race, and then they just give up
The hardest thing in life to learn is to lose. Winning's easy.
You win, you're happy, you get a high five your friends are happy
It's your ability to take a loss, get up the next day, dust yourself off and keep going
I have lost at everything you can imagine. Seriously, I have been beat up and put down and
Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong for me, but I just kept going
Well, I think there is no substitute for hard work. None. Zero. I was in India
I talked to 200
newly hired individuals, and this is I can say this because
I'm of Indian heritage
They're always asking when I go to India, so tell us the one or two shortcuts to get to your point
And I always say there are no shortcuts
You've got to put in the time and so I think the first takeaway is there are absolutely no shortcuts
It takes time, and it takes a lot of hard work
I am beast mode. But it don't mean beast mode without fear. It don't mean beast mode without a little anxiety
It don't mean beast mode and I'm just 120% sure, no, I have to live my faith too
And I made up in my mind. ET, you've got to go after it
look
I finished my coursework it took me two years, why? Because it took me two years to get over the fear. It took me
Two years to get over the anxiety, it took me two years to finally say Goliath here
I come. The lion you might be taller than me you might be bigger than me you might be stronger than me
But I'm coming and I'd rather die trying. I'd rather die going after this dissertation
I'd rather give everything I got, I'd rather give a year. I'd rather put in work
Success is not doing the right thing and it definitely isn't doing the right thing the first time
Success is having the courage to move in the direction of your dreams, move in a direction that your heart is taking you
That is what success is as you are progressively
realizing that thing
People think success is, I've got a plan and I go and work out that plan. It never ever ever ever ever works that way
Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy goal
But progressive realization means that you're doing things that you don't know how to do. You're stepping out in faith
You're being courageous
Your self-doubt will step out of the way
And the power will be added to you
Focus. Focus is super underrated. Like if you commit all that you are and all of your energy to one thing
you'll...
All right, you can do ten things to the first degree like this right here
And that's how well you'll do all ten things. Or you can do one thing
To the tenth degree right there and look how much better you do that
So when it comes to focus to put all of your energy into one thing is to do that one thing
Really well, to the best of your abilities to take it all the way, and to scatter yourself means you're never actually
Accomplishing anything. You're just sort of chipping away at a bunch of nothingness, and this is true for work. This is true for like
Dating versus committing yourself to one person
friendship, everything
If you want to make your dream become reality
The people that are running at their dreams know, that it's possible that you can live your dream
That it's necessary that you're relentless that you have a plan of action that you are creative
The people that are living their dream are finding winners to attach themselves to. The people that are living their dreams
Are the people that know that if it's going to happen, it's up to them and they're revolving within themselves
It's not over until I win
The people that are running after that dream know they're going to have hard times, they keep on running because they're saying within themselves
I'm the one. I'm the one no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets
I'm going to make it. The people that are running after their dreams are the people that are hungry
Most people have done all that they're ever going to do. They raise a family, they earn a living and then they die
but people were running towards their dreams, life has a special kind of meaning
And here's what I will share with you
That in the process of working on your dreams
You are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain
a lot of setbacks, a lot of defeats
but in the process of doing that
You will discover some things about yourself that you don't know right now. What you will realize is
That you have greatness within you
What you'll realize is that you're more powerful than you can ever begin to imagine
you
