One element included in the video that represents the media's viewpoint and values is the emphasis on the dire conditions faced by the homeless population in Moscow, particularly the struggle for survival during an exceptionally cold winter. This focus on human suffering and the immediate needs for food and medical assistance highlights the media's commitment to social issues and compassion for marginalized groups.
An element that is excluded from the video is any mention of systemic causes or government policies that contribute to homelessness in Russia. The absence of contextual information about the economy, housing policies, or social welfare systems limits the understanding of why such severe homelessness exists, narrowing the narrative to a portrayal of immediate suffering rather than fostering a discussion on systemic solutions.
The included content reinforces a sense of urgency and empathy for the homeless, encouraging viewers to care and potentially take action. In contrast, the excluded content risks oversimplifying the issue and may prevent a deeper engagement with the structural factors that sustain homelessness, thus shaping public perception in a way that could lead to superficial responses rather than comprehensive reforms.
