Lil Nas X Launches New “Save Nas X” Website, Also Creates New Interactive Twitter Game

by

Lil Nas X is someone who is always looking to stir the pot up a bit. Overall, it has been a couple of years since we got an album from him. Of course, he came out with Montero which turned out to be a huge commercial success. He was able to prove that he is not a one-hit-wonder. However, he did create quite a bit of controversy thanks to his satanic imagery that had a lot of Christians upset. Since dropping that album, Nas X has mostly been quiet, but now, it seems as though he is in the midst of a return.

We say this because last night, it was discovered that the artist and Sony Music Entertainment launched a website called SaveNasX.com. On this website, there is a message as well as a timer that showcases how long it has been since the last album. “Has the DEVIL-WORSHIPPING pop-artist finally been sacrificed to HIS MASTER?,” the message reads. “WHY is he SECLUDING HIMSELF???? What is he PREPARING FOR? This site will answer ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE!!!… We will find Montero, and WE WILL SAVE HIM BY RETURNING HIS HEART TO J.CHRIST’S LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Lil Nas X Has A Plan

In the Twitter post above, you can see that Nas X also launched a new Twitter account called @HeavenOrHellOnX. As the artist explains, this is an interactive game in which you play a poll and then eventually you get put in heaven or hell. Overall, it is a unique concept and quite a few people have participated already. This does make us wonder whether or not some new music is going to be dropping in the new year. It certainly would not surprise us given all of these recent moves. Hopefully, we find out sooner rather than later.

The Role Of Media Influence On Society

by

In today’s world, you can’t hide from the media in society. We are constantly exposed to television, movies, social media, news, and advertising. This has led to an increase in the influence that media has on our everyday lives. Media can have both positive and negative effects on individuals and communities. We will explore the media’s influence on society, including its impact on social norms, attitudes, and behavior.

Social Norms & Values

Media can shape our perceptions of social norms and values. It often portrays certain behaviors as acceptable or desirable while others are condemned. This can lead to individuals conforming to these perceived norms, which can have positive and negative consequences. For example, media can promote healthy living, respect for others, and community engagement. On the other hand, it can push negative behaviors such as substance abuse, violence, and intolerance. Negative stereotypes and biases can also be reinforced, contributing to discrimination and social inequality.

Attitudes & Beliefs

Publicity is one of the most pervasive forms of media and can significantly impact our behavior and attitudes. Hype is designed to promote products and services, and it often does this by promoting specific values and lifestyles. For example, advertising often promotes materialism and consumerism as desirable values. This can lead individuals to value possessions highly, contributing to debt and financial insecurity. Skewed advertising can further cause individuals to have negative outlooks on themselves, often as if they don’t meet an acceptable societal standard.

Media can also influence our attitudes and beliefs about various issues. This is particularly true in the case of news media, which often shapes our political perspectives. News media can influence public opinion and even shape public policy. This can impact support for government policies and leaders. Similarly, entertainment such as television and movies can mold our attitudes and beliefs about various social issues, including race, gender, and sexuality.

Media can also have a significant impact on our behavior. For example, it can influence our attitudes toward substance abuse, violence, and sexual behavior. Studies have shown that exposure to media violence can increase aggression and violent behavior in children and adults. Similarly, exposure to sexual content in media can impact attitudes toward sexual behavior.

Media Literacy

Given the powerful influence that media can have on society, it is essential to develop media literacy skills. Media literacy involves the ability to analyze and evaluate media messages critically. This includes understanding the persuasive techniques used in advertising, recognizing bias in news media, and evaluating the accuracy of information presented in various forms. Media literacy skills can help individuals make informed decisions about their media consumption and help them resist negative influences. It can also empower individuals to create media messages that promote positive social norms and values.
