After analyzing the class readings and watching The Truman Show, they show that not only a small group of people reality depend on the media, but most of the people in the world doing the same thing today. First of all, we can know that why people reality depend on the media so much from the passages that we had read in the class. For instance, the passage "Google making us stupid", it states that Google will affect our ability of thinking because the Internet nowadays is so convenience for us to find the information. We will just believe all of the information and we will not think deeply about them. Therefore, we never know that the information that we find is really true or is just we think the information is correct by our own mind. Also, this had proved that how people reality depend on the Internet.
Moreover, form the passage "I know the truth", it states that people always just believe what they are thinking is true and they will just ignore the fact which is shown in front of them. It also shows that human is easily to believe the information even there is no evidence to prove. For example, just like the advertising which had shown on the television, most of them will exaggerate their products to attract customers. However, most of the time the companies can be successful because people always believe what they said. One of my friends she just buy a medicine which is for losing weight, the reason for her to buy is because she saw the advertisement form the television. Before she bought the medicine, she had not do any research to prove that is it work or not. So this shows that how people rely on the advertisements. Furthermore, the film "The Truman Show" has clearly shown that people in this society is over believe what had been shown on the media. Also, this is the main reason why this show had been created.
Finally, the purpose of all of these is just want us to think deeply before we believe something which is the truth. In this world, most of the people only believe the realities are just what they had seen, just like Truman who lives in a perfect world which is created just for him. Therefore, we cannot just blind to believe what we had seen or listen, we need to prove that before we trust it.
