Topic: Media influence on war in the Middle East
Subject: The media is a huge factor in warfare now; it lets people know about
casualties, the attacks and the victims. It creates an impact because of the
reaction it receives, the pressure it creates to me more humanitarian and it
lets the world have an opinion about what is happening. Certain places and
victims get more attention than others, and the question is why?
Text Type: Opinion Editorial in Time Magazine
Audience: Educated middle to high class people
Purpose: To explore why some war events call more attention and how it can become
unfair for the victims who do not get the attention or health care they need.
Title: War in Media and its Effects
Rationale:
Introduction:
Is war portrayed as it
really is through media? Do we see the worst of the worst? Or only what is
“appropriate”?
Supporting Topic 1:
Malula Yousafzai, how
her case got out and the treatment she received. Why did one girl become so
well known, and why did she get all this treatment is there are thousands of
kids just like her who have to suffer in the civilian areas of warzone?
Supporting Topic 2:
I will give statistics
of victims in general and victims that are under 18. I will use this information
to point out the way these people have to live and how they deal with injuries.
Supporting Topic 3:
Find statistics on
deaths by the Taliban and write about how this could have been prevented with
proper shelter and medical care.
Conclusion:
Use rhetorical
question, ask why is it that we are only thinking of Malula, why is it that we don’t
even ask about the rest of the victims?
