Humanistic Tradition

This part narrates how, when anti-Semitism reared its ugly head in Poland during the 1950s, the author fled in 1958 to West Germany, another one of the striking twists in his development. Thanks to his connections with numerous German writers and key people in the mass media, he was able to establish himself quickly on the cultural scene. Indeed, it is astonishing how fast he became famous if not notorious. Through his reviews, books, and radio and television shows, he focused all his efforts on re-establishing the great humanistic tradition of German literature and became the spokesman for the renewal of this tradition on the contemporary scene. In 1972, he received the first honor of his life: an honorary doctorate of the University of Uppsala.

The Impact

The role which the mass media plays in modern society means that it has become a sub-agent of contemporary religious identities. This broadens the religious and theological significance of the mass media as an agent for the construction of personal (belief) systems. While in traditional societies, religion is based upon the authority vested in religious bodies, in complex industrial societies individuals construct religious meaning from a variety of sources. In the latter, communication about religious and spiritual issues is increasingly mediated through print and electronic technologies. The internet has accentuated the process of mediation within Judaism by linking Jews, irrespective of whether they belong to physical communal structures, to a virtual, worldwide Jewish community. Yet a key question to be examined here is the impact of the internet upon existing religious communities. This study examines this question by looking at the Israeli case, and the impact of the internet upon the religious identity of Orthodox Jewry.

The Mass Media

The need for security is one of the basic human needs, and it occupies one of the basic places in the hierarchy of human motivation. Since prehistoric times, the human community and individuals, first in harmony with nature, and then with social challenges, have developed solutions and responses to challenges and threats to their survival, existence and development. As human society has progressed in its development, new challenges and threats to both individual and collective security have progressively emerged. In today's age and in modern society, there has been a paradoxical situation, that we have an exponentially increased number of security risks, and that the security culture, or the culture of security of life, has practically disappeared from the culture. The reasons are complex, and there are many factors in that chain. One of the most important factors is the media, especially the mass media, which in most aspects determine social consciousness, especially among adolescents and young people. The aim of this paper is to investigate the correlation between media, public discourse and adolescent culture, mechanisms of media action, as well as ways in which these mechanisms can be directed towards better performance of socially useful functions, of which encouraging the development of security culture awareness is one of the key tasks for the common good.

Resumo: Os meios de comunicação de massa contribuem para o processo de reciclagem de estereótipos e preconceitos e, como resultado, muitos deles se tornam duradouros. Nesse sentido, a preocupação com a questão dos direitos humanos é inquestionável, bem como sua discussão e produção de pesquisas no âmbito universitário. Desse modo, alunos do Curso de Jornalismo da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) produziram uma revista para se opor ao conteúdo predominante da mídia hegemônica, apresentando visões mais humanizadas sobre o município do Rio de Janeiro e alguns de seus personagens. O objetivo foi realizar uma cobertura reflexiva, contribuindo para o questionamento dos estereótipos mencionados. A linha editorial foi baseada nos direitos humanos e na ética. Devido à falta de patrocínio e dificuldades de impressão, o produto tornou-se disponível na internet e está sendo divulgado em congressos. A metodologia incluiu pesquisas sobre os temas elencados, trabalho de campo e entrevistas. Periodicamente, foram realizadas reuniões para avaliar a produção e sua vinculação com a linha editorial. Quanto aos resultados, há o prêmio na XXIII Expocom Sudeste e a receptividade na própria universidade. Este artigo, portanto, é um relato de experiência da Revista Contraponto.Palavras-chave: Direitos Humanos. Ética. Jornalismo. Revista. Contraponto.Abstract : The mass media contributes to the process of recycling stereotypes and prejudices and as result many of them become enduring.
