Media literacy and peacemaking series: part 2
Ask yourself these six questions about your media consumption:
Does my media consumption allow me to be proactive and courageous?
Do the messages I consume encourage unity or division?
Do my media sources help me understand existing injustices and bear witness of suffering?
Does the media I consume dehumanize people?
Do the messages I see and create fuel love or hate?
Do I ultimately feel hopeful that I can help build a more peaceful and just world?
If the media you consume does not coincide with principles of peacemaking, consider what steps you can take to change.
Media literacy skills are peacemaking skills. Be a peacemaker.
