Assignment 1

In every society, both freedom and authority should be used with moderation, above all concening the large world of media. This idea has been stated by Altshull and Merill and they both argued that there is ''no pure system'' and this occurs mostly in countries undergoing a transition. This means that each community is under a mix of two or more media systems.
For instance, Morocco which is a developing country, is more and more changing its political system trying to reach democracy, independence, and improve its material conditions. This is why, it is known that this country is following the development model. Moreover, there is a certain solidarity between Morocco and the United States of America in terms of economy insofar as these two countries exchange goods. The USA is following the liberitarian media system as far as the attacks on the government's policies are fully accepted and even encouraged. Therefore, the Moroccan society might be influenced by this media system and adopt or at least catch up with the free press theory.
With the enhancement that Morocco is knowing, it might also be influenced by the social responsibilty theory where there is equality between the government and the media and the democratic-participant theory where relevant local information, answers, and the use of new means of communication are accepted. However, at the same time, this society has to keep and show respect and not totally criticize the government because of our reverent monarchy.
Also, the media system in Morocco is far from the Soviet and the Authoritarian theory since, nowadays, there is neither a communist dictatorship nor a total and severe control of information.
