When the first segment ends, you can click on part two (2 of 9) and so on until you finish the documentary. Why are you watching? Keeping the following questions in mind while you watch will help you focus your listening. Take notes, for you will be expected to hand in your answers. 1. What does 'manufacturing consent' refer to? 2. Why is manufacturing consent important in a democratic society?3. Whose consent is being manufactured? 4. What was Chomsky's methodology in studying the manufacture of consent, and what are the examples he used to explain it? 5. Explain the significance of the news coverage of the genocide in East Timor as opposed to that of the atrocities in Cambodia. 6. Why does Professor Chomsky state that the media was complicit in the East Timor atrocity? What are the implications of such complicity? What is the responsibility of the media? 7. What distinction does Chomsky make between 'conspiracy theory' and 'institutional analysis?' 8. In part 8 of 9, Chomsky talks about the problem with the mainstream media requiring 'concision.' What does he see as it's effect? Did you Know? In his article "Corporate Hegemony - A Critical Assessment of the Globe and Mail's News Coverage of the Near-Genocide in Occupied East Timor 1975 - 1980" in International Communication Gazzette (august 2002), Jeffery Klaehn illustrated that Canada was also heavily complicit in the East Timor atrocity, as it was one of the largest foreign investors in Indonesia at the time. Further, though it is against UN law to sell weapons to a government that is using them for genocide or against its own people, Canada sold weapons indirectly by selling its arms quota through a third party (301 -321).Put the answers to the above questions into a brief paper ofabout 2 pages. You can include the questions in your text. At the end, I would like you to add a ninth section, entitled Reflection. Please share how you feel after watching the documentary. Do you have any questions? How does it change the way you view the news media around you?
