It is necessary to grasp an essential point which is that the *culture* and *media* sheer a kind of misrepresentation, misquotation, and misinformation. That is, they transmit something, and they make it as if it is true. But, as it appears, it is the role of ideology to make all these information real and try to hid the real picture of it" misleading illusion". In doing so, it is of paramount importance to mention that the culture and media report news, ideas, caricatures and information which all lead the person to believe in this and to take it into consideration, but it is only a kind of mis- prevailing the real reality that is hidden.
As a starting point, it is vital to start the discussion with how culture guides us to believe in such a thing which is not true. Presumably, the European people, all the time, are trying to depict their own culture as natural, as neutral and balanced. Per se, when people saw all these things about European culture, they cannot keep caring about their own Culture and Languages. As it seems, in order to make something as natural, it is worth showing it on media as not- man made.
With this in mind, media can play a major role in misrepresenting other people and cultures. It can lead the east culture to be characterized as not good, as not worth to follow, and to be considered as culture. Clearly enough, they show the east people as brutal, as not conscious, as elvish, and are not able to treat themselves and others as human beings but this is the rule of propaganda and ideology in the world.
As was suggested vividly about how culture and media sheer misrepresentation and misinformation, it is of great important to mention the rule of ideology and propaganda which all help in order to create misinterpretation and misquotation. It means that in order to depict something as natural and not human- made, it needs to use something which can make it real- *such as, the American invasion of Iraq last century showed that Media shares news which will gear people to believe in. Perhaps not surprisingly, they say that the president of Iraq will kill many people, and he is a terrorist but they use such propaganda to make this as if it is the reality.*
In the same line, Media all the time helps other people to distribute their own culture in many different parts of the world. For example, America always shows its own culture on media and in streets in order to make the world in the picture of Americanization, but it is only a kind of misrepresentation.
In this way, several points could be concluded; obviously, it is worth understanding the role of media,as a tool of the age, and Culture, as a whole way of life, in creating things which are not real. Plus, it is only a kind of misrepresentation misquotation, misinterpretation, and misinformation.
