A message in Super girl S2 E3

A message from Supergirl S2 E3

Continuing in English with our look at messages in media that we watch. We watched an episode of Supergirl. This episode was all about the President wanting to sign a policy that lets Aliens be treated as equals by the government and be allowed to come out and live freely. A message in this is to not judge others based on past history with their homeland. 

This theme appears in the middle section of the episode when Supergirl imprisons a Daxomite. She believes this person is trying to kill the president and refuses to believe otherwise because of past history with that country. Back in the day her homeland and Daxomite fought a war that she was told was pointless and caused by the other side. However, the Daxomite was told that the other side had started it and they where the good guys. This situation occurs in the real world in many cases. Both sides are told a story that is filled with an agenda. Propaganda is a big example of this, propaganda is media that is controlled by the party making it to either make a group or individual look like terrible people or make themselves look amazing. In wartime, this happens all the time and it happens today all the time. A big example is North Korea, many of the citizens in NK believe their leader is amazing and that the western countries are oppressive nations that are trying to steal NK's power. However, of course, we believe NK is a terrible country that should be taken care off. This is due to intense propaganda in NK's media, in fact almost all of the media there is Propaganda. This even applies to everyday situations. The message definitely is a great message as this type of brainwashing is quite bad in our world and can cause conflicts all because of manipulation from the government from an old feud.
