ON MEDIA SPECTACLES

According to Douglas Kellner, media spectacles are facts that embody the core values ​​of contemporary society and dramatize society. With the corona epidemic that shook the world’s agenda, COVID-19 was the only thing all media talked about. The COVID-19 virus first appeared from an animal market in Wuhan, China. Soon it took over the whole world. In this process, almost everyone had a negative view of the Chinese. The media constantly contributed to these reactions by showing the animals that the Chinese ate and created great hatred. Later, Donald Trump, who was never afraid of racism, called his coronavirus ‘Chinese Virus’ and encouraged people to this racism. Because of the racism against the Chinese during this epidemic, a young man Taiwanese had backpack said, “I am not a Chinese.” and he traveled with this. He was afraid of being racist just because he was resembling Chinese and wanted to protect himself from hateful looks. To sum up, this epidemic will surely end one day or have a cure, but racism will never end. Especially if the media continues to abuse this strong influence on people.
