DMA rascism?

A few times on campus, I've gotten the feeling that there are many negative stereotypes about DMA majors that arent necessarily correct. Many have stated that DMA majors are lazy bums that don't do anything and ultimately, wont "impact their world for Christ". First of all, I think that the media is one of the most influential forces in todays society and I think that if we DON'T affect the mainstream media that we have done a horrible job of proclaiming Christ. And we must create QUALITY media as well, if our work is less than average than people won't hold us in respect or believe anything we say. We also have to be careful not to treat secular film makers as if they are nothing and are in the wrong, because thats definitely not the way Christ did it. In the book The Gutter, it talks about how two guys started a site, xxxchurch. com, which is a resource to help guys with their porn addictions. Because they were different, and didnt criticize the porn industry for their work, they successfully got on the inside with many of societies most perverse and dirty characters, those that need Christ the most. And as for laziness, yeah, maybe we do get it a little easy, but if you have ever made your own film, you would understand how trying and difficult our job is.
