Human Freedom, Empire of the Media
Islamic Research and Information Center’s 43rd monthly Conference in English language titled “Human Freedom, Empire of the Media,” addresses the very important subject of “mankind and media” in the contemporary world.
Today, the role of media in altering perspectives or creating perspectives for human beings is certain and we are aware that most global media are at the service of particular schools of thought, superpowers and under the ownership of Zionist and colonial polarities. They speak superficially of “human freedom” but through media airwaves drag humanity toward paths desired by them.
This conference has been reserved for the issue and the following questions can be tabled:
1.Do the media transfer all information or do they channel issues and broadcast them afterwards?
2.How does Media advertising form perspectives for human beings so that they subconsciously fall captive to its subliminal messages?
3.The main ownership of the media lies in whose hands with what kind of vision?
4.In whose hands is the administration of the internet as the biggest medium and what benefits does the administrator derive from such medium?
5.What role should the media play in the globalization phenomenon?
6.What must be done so incorrect moves by the media, does not impede human liberties?
7.What objectives and obligations for the world of Islam’s media can be proposed and what duties do the cultural figures have in this field?
It is hoped that different dimensions of the above issues can be better made subject to hair splitting analysis through your active presence as well as efforts by attending lecturers and experts.
