Influence Of Media / Influence Of Media On Society

Media has a strong impact on our day to day life. As the technology is getting more advanced, media’s influence is growing exponentially. From the past several decades, television, radio, internet, and newspapers have become a reliable tool in our modern day life. With the information reaching masses in a blink of an eye, a life without media is near impossible. There is no denial in the fact that it influences our society in both positive and negative ways.

The advantages of media are infinite. From creating awareness among masses to serving as a source of inspiration, media act as a platform to present our ideas to the world. It connects people from around the globe and owing to its reach, a better world of communication opens up for the humankind.

While it has many positive effects on our society but it can lead to the blind following which in turn affects our lives. The advertisements these days target teenagers, in turn, they are becoming more brand conscious. Also, overexposure to s*xual content in advertising, magazines, television shows, and music videos make the children furious and vulnerable to unwanted hormonal changes in their body.

Yes, media has a high influence on the way people think and be have in a society. But I think media is affecting the minds of youngsters more in a negative way than its positive influence. Violence and criminal activities have increased among youngsters. Thus not only does media influence the thinking of a person but it also affects a person’s actions.
