A few days ago i read about the above girl called Rose Nasimiyu in Kenya. She was diagnosed with cancer which was very heart breaking to her and her family. At a young age, she admits that she was to miss a lot of things that young people enjoy. Before i read the story i really did not have a lot in my mind apart from being sorry. Watching her video changed my thoughts and perception. This young princess took her sickness positively and used that chance to even encourage others who were also sick not to be discouraged and to have hope in life. At nine years old, i feel like she is a blessing in this world. She went further and composed a song not only to encourage people, but also to help her mother with the hospital bill for her chemo therapy. This little girl touched my heart because her impact was recognized and she was even referred to as "a small young girl with the heart of a warrior." I looked at this in the interactionist per perspective. This girl had a positive impact to the social environment as she encouraged everyone that cancer is not the end of the world. Thanks to the media we are able to acknowledge such great people in this world. Social groups played a major role in how this media influenced me because this is just a nine year old girl who has made positive changes in the lives of a number of people including me. I think if it was an older person, the impact would not be as greater as such.

This is a great post on the positive influences of media. This one child was able to make an impact on so many people in a positive way because of mass media. The media often uses 'Pathos' to light a fire in peoples hearts and give courage to those in similar situations.
