generation like blog post

I personally believe, that youtube stars are empowered. They are empowered through technology to do what they're passionate about. They upload videos onto a video-sharing network called "youtube" that projects and shares their videos amongst millions of people.  The network allows the audience of the videos to like, share, comment  and subscribe to these videos. These are the currency of this generation, through this teens felt that social media eventually led to their empowerment, They say that's empowering because they can deliver a verdict instantly. Many "you-tubers" are teens that by the domestic growth of these "likes", "shares" "subscriptions" ..... feel empowered and stand out amongst a group of people. The growth stage over time of like and followers makes these individual recognizable to a greater community and attracts a larger audience to view his youtube channel which later one results in fame. 

Media plays a significant role in shaping this situation, It is said that the power of the States/ countries  is the military force followed by economic power . In this era the power of media has been added.its  a driving force unlike anything the world has ever been exposed to,  a tool with a great impact and strength.  Countries strengthened and fortified  their media and directed to serve its interests and orientations ... Now therefore, became much more powerful than military and economic unity since they don't serve as much as media since it controls and drives numerous amounts of human masses, hence if an individual has control in of this medium or attributes to it significantly and has is more likely to be empowered. Thus why youtube stars are rather empowered than exploited since they have control over this powerful medium.

advertisers moral duty

In my opinion I believe that advertising companies should avoid stereotyping in their commercials since many would consider it outrageous and humiliation to certain ethical groups. advertising nowadays is a well known strategy to make sure that a certain group of people are willing to spend their money on your'e product but after all why should it humiliate certain people. advertisements are worldwide they are seen and judged by many, for example an advertisement for coke could range from the United states all the way to the middle east and thats quite a distance but the real question here is, is it funny that advertisers include stereotyping portrayals in their ads or is it a form of entertainment? well in my point of view it onset funny or entertaining as many people are getting offended by the advert itself and by people mimicking them or making inappropriate comments on the physical appearance due to an ad they saw that portrayed them in an inappropriate manner. for example I saw an advertisement that was stereotyping gender roles in which they portrayed a women being all sassy and weak while on the other hand they portrayed the man as being strong and powerful and that not necessarily true because taking a look at the real question here which is do advertising companies have a moral duty to avoid stereotyping, well the answer is yes since they should educate children to have a correct view of the world in which in this case both men and women have equal rights.
