  • Conclusion

7
The Background of Gulf War
  • Oil controversy during Iraq (France and Russia
    support) and Kuwait (US and UK support)
  • Iraq invading Kuwait in 1991
  • US bombed several times and got a pride
    victory

The Background of Iraq Crisis
  • Iraq avoids UNs Peace Treaty in 2002
  • Fear of Saddam Hussein , and his biochemical and
    nuclear weapon
  • Fight from freedom and against terrorism, Iraq
    may support 911 terrorists
  • 11/8/2002 UN agreed US to attack Iraq when Iraq
    rejects to disarm

9
Methodology
  • Encoding, Transcoding, and Decoding
  • Diagnostic Critique
  • Hegemony and Ideology

10
Encoding, Transcoding, and Decoding
  • Both these two conflicts are for world peace or
    economic benefit?
  • The relationship between Two Bushes and Hussein
    is the enemy in national interest or personal
    power? War for Peace or Oil?
  • Bush said We will fight on one voice. But there
    are too many demonstrations, why he still insist
    to war?

11
Diagnostic Critique
  • Is there any direct evidence to prove that Iraq
    support 911 terrorism?
  • George W. Bush wants to fight for his people or
    only for his father?
  • Media and mass communication tried to make a
    close interaction between 911 and Iraq to
    legislate the coming war.

12
Hegemony and Ideology
  • US is the most powerful cultural imperialism in
    the world. Globalization becomes some kind of
    Americanization. Cultural Hegemony influence the
    resentment in Middle East including capital
    economy, democracy, and religion.
  • Americanization have become a deep Ideology. You
    should follow the US rules, and you could have
    some opportunity to win the game.

13
Conclusion
  • War for oil or for peace?
  • Leading to individual interest or national
    benefit?
  • Fight in one voice is a kind of democracy?
  • Media still play a powerful role of propaganda
    and encoding some deep Ideology and hegemony

14
Reflection
  • Media culture didnt tell you the lie. All they
    want to do is to tell you the truth, but not
    whole truth.
  • Media literacy is a powerful tool that teachers
    should help students to learn how to deal with
    the information explosible world.
