Media Framing allows us to view cultures and groups of
people into greater depth. Today, media has given us insight into what’s going
on in other countries, what other people are experiencing, and how interpret
things we see every day. The Yanomami people have experienced devastation;
their land has been invaded, their gold taken, and migrators have brought over
diseases that have killed many of their people.
Media has heightened our awareness of such events and how the Yanomami
feel about them. In interviews such as
‘Our Land is Our Heritage’ we get a personal testimony of the Yanomami people.
By gaining the trust of the Yanomami people and getting close to them, we can
also gain insight on the differences between cultures. In ‘The Laughing
Alligator’a man by the name of Juan Downey lives and experiences the Yanomami
people. He’s able to get close and personal and find out things about the group
of people that most people would never think of. Media makes us knowledgeable
of other people and cultures in the
world.
