The Power of Nightmares assesses whether the threat from a hidden and organized terrorist network is an illusion. In the concluding part of the series, the video clip explains how the illusion was created and who benefits from it. How do we relate the video clip with the theory of media imperialism? The media imperialism is about the idea that powerful and wealthy countries can exercise economic, cultural and social control over others through control of media industries. Sometimes, it is about controlling or influencing the thinking of the world wide. The video clip has taken the 911 incident that had happened in the year 2001 in USA. Who was actually behind the bomb? No one knows. But the USA seems to insist it was by the leader of Islamic terrorist. There's no actual proof showing that this guy was the planner of the whole incident. Since one of the powerful country insists it, the whole world wide seem to believe it. And now, in the mind of most American, Islamic has been stereotyped as terrorist. USA is a powerful country and as w all know it could brings a huge affects and influences to the world wide through media. Due to this, the 'real' truth doesn't really matter. What matters is that what has shown out and what was believed as the truth. This is how powerful the country is in controlling the situation.
This given topic was tough i would say. And that's all I can say. Hope I'm not mistaken.
