Media's Influence in ones life

Influence of Media in ones life?

Media in the current time has grown to have a major influence on the society and their behaviours. Human beings are vulnerable beings who tend to adopt what is repeatedly being shown to them which is probably why there have been major changes in the behaviours of the society in general. More than a positive impact, media is currently playing a very negative role on the society in general. It is imposing violent behaviour making people more aggressive since there is repetitive showcasing of mass media violence. Media is also becoming the cause of deception for the young generation who have starerd perceiving life as a fairy tale so as its portrayed by the unreal romance shown on the media due to which they start developing false expectations that aren't obviously met. More over, the media is developing complexes within the people when it sets standards of beauty and makes the viewers believe that they need to meet the standards in order to survive.

Media could have a positive impact on the society too, as long as it isn't as easily accessible to people who are vulnerable and as easily adaptive or influenced. It could be a major source of information and knowledge as long as its used within the productive limit
