Media Bias: Article Analysis
“Blind man sees wife for first time after having a TOOTH implanted into his eye,” is an article written by Paul Sims for the DailyMail webpage (Sims, updated 2009). Throughout the article, the absence of references cited and the lack of quotes from Mr. Liu (the surgeon), or from anyone in the hospital staff, compromises the article’s authenticity. The only quotes that are used in the article come directly from Mr. Martin Jones, the man whom the article was written about and who claims to have undergone Osteo-Odonto- Keratoprosthesis, or OOKP. More specifically, the article refers to the surgeon, Mr. Liu, who allegedly used the eye tooth of Mr. Jones, as a prosthesis in Mr. Jones’ eye in order to enable him to see again. Although the story in the article seems completely unrealistic, it is highly …show more content…

    Katherine Bourzac Critique

    Katherine Bourzac, in her article “A Smarter Prosthetic for the Eye” (2012), explains to readers that new prosthetics for the eye could reverse vision loss in some people with a simple implant. She supports this claim by explaining the technology and how it “combines infrared video-projection goggles with a small, wire-free chip implanted inside the retina” then by stating “[the implants] might restore more vision than other retinal prosthetics being worked on” (1). Bourzac’s purpose is to inform readers about the exciting upcoming technology for people with vision loss in order to show readers that there is a way to get vision back, showing the positive influences of retinal prosthetics on society. She adapts a informative and hopeful…

    Dr. Bath entered New York’s Hunter College, where she studied chemistry and physics. In 1964, she earned her B.A from Hunter. After that, Bath attended Howard University, where she started medical school. In 1968, she received her M.D then returned to New York. After returning to New York, Bath served as an intern at Harlem Hospital, following a fellowship in ophthalmology at Columbia Hospital for one year. While at Harlem Hospital, Dr. Bath noticed nearly half of the African American patient’s there were blind or visually impaired. She started documenting the blacks who were nearly double the rate of blindness compared to the whites. Dr. Bath came to the conclusion that the cause of many African American’s blindness was due to the lack of access to ophthalmic care. Now studied and practiced worldwide, Bath developed a new discipline known as Community Ophthalmology because of her documenting the blindness among the two different races.…

    The incident leaves a cute and very bright and outgoing girl, with a destroyed sense of self beauty. She no longer sees that she’s bright, or that she has a charming personality, all she now sees is the disfigurement to her eye. Where she was doing well in school, she is now doing poorly. Her peers make her feel ashamed when they ask “what is wrong with your eye”. She then becomes “the girl who does not raise her head. She does not pray for sight, instead she prays for…

    Bias: The Importance Of Bias In The Media

    Although the media are used all around the globe for people to be aware and alerted about what is going on in the world, people must know that there can be bias in the media and should be cautious with trusting only one news source. The public expects each news source to tell the same story about a topic, however that is not the case. What each news source hides from the public is that certain beliefs are amongst them and will only say what is important to them. When it comes to an important event that is going on every news source will cover it, but each one will say something different, and even can hide the truth. It is important for the public to research each event on different news sources and see for themselves how different a topic…

    Visual Correction In The Twentieth Century: Article Analysis

    Different cultures go back hundreds of years. Cultures in today’s society can be a few years old. One contemporary culture that has been around since the 60’s and has expanded the eye care field, especially when it comes to vision, is Lasik Surgery. As Lynda Charters and Lucio Buratto explain in the article “LASIK: Procedure Of Choice For The New Millennium?” that “The evolution that brought LASIK to its foremost position among the refractive procedures was started by Jose Barraquer, MD, the “father of lamellar keratoplasty,” in the early 1960s”(Charters). Lasik, which stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis, is a popular surgery used to correct vision in people who are nearsighted, farsighted,…

    Media Bias In America

    In America, there is media bias because ratings tend to increase when the attention span is more focused on the issues at hand. For instance, people would much rather documentaries or visuals involving chaos and violence rather than a humanly interview. Therefore, media becomes biased because the chosen headliners and stories are consumed with drama which draws larger audiences. On the other hand, political views as portrayed in the news are more likely to be liberal than conservative. Although there is little evidence to support this claim, the political views in different forms of media are usually liberal dependent on social issues such as feminism, gay rights, and welfare. Depending on the carrier of media, a company such as Fox News or CBS might edit the actual news in order to fit their persona or political views behind the company.…

    Asian Eyes

    Asian Eyes

    The eyes are undoubtedly the most noticeable feature on a person’s face. Generally when two people meet or come into contact with each other, it is considered polite to make eye contact as a means of acknowledgement. The eyes can also be an indicator of the attractiveness of an individual, since the standard of having “beautiful eyes” is defined as having large and round eyes, which just so happens to be a feature that most Caucasian men and women have and most Asian men and women do not. Many Asians are dissatisfied with the shape of their natural eyes because of the lack of double-lids, which would have made the eyes appear bigger and more “beautiful”. As a result, these men and women often opt for a minor surgery called Asian Blepharoplasty, a procedure that is done surgically to make a single upper eyelid have a fold, which accentuates the eyes and makes them appear bigger and rounder. However, when Asians get this procedure, many people accuse them of trying to make themselves look more Caucasian and of betraying their race. There are a number of ways that shows the procedure is not copying the Caucasian eyelid, such as the fact that the requested crease is not even the same as the Caucasian eyelid, and also since the first published idea of a double eyelid crease developed way before there was a European influence in Asia.…
