Media 2
Media and society, what exactly are these two things? Media being any material pertaining to news, billboards, or the signs displayed on the windows of the nearest grocery store. Whether it's radio, television, or newspapers all of it is considered to be media. Society on the other hand, just simply means people working together for one specific common purpose. Around the world media, and society is coinsiding. Every time you click on the television set, or turn the knob on the radio, someone is talking about the shooting that took place on 3rd street. There are thousands of people murdering, raping, and stealing every minute of every day. The average typical person doesn't act of this nature. So why do these types of people act this way? Is it because of the media that is displayed on the television, or could it be the broadcasting on the radio? Of all the different sources of media, the biggest and most used is television. Why was the television even invented? Television is just another source of entertainment. Also it provides another route in order to get in touch with people. Many of the things that premiers on the television often contain action and some sort of viol
I have a little nephew about the age of six. He probably watches the tube a least four to six hours daily. He watches everything from cartoons to rated R movies. He has a wide viewing rang. One of his favorite things to watch is anywhere someone is getting hurt. He thinks it is the funniest thing to see someone fall down a flight of stairs. After watching the violence he does not relate it to his everyday life. He does not go out kicking people because Jackie Chan does. He was taught that it is wrong to kick, hit, or bite. So after he watches a movie he knows it was just a movie and that could really never happen. He may pretend to shoot something or someone with a stick or a plastic gun, but that is the life of a kid, especially a little boy. If he wasn't taught that television is just television, then who knows what he could have done after watching any of the movies with violence. He could pick up the idea that it is okay for someone to kill. Sure he probably thinks about it from time to time, and wonders what it would be like to kill. But, because of good parenting skills and good family life he knows that it is wrong to really kill someone. Growing up he will not forget that. He will always know it is wrong to murder a person. ence. With out violence the broadcasters would not get the ratings they were hoping for. People love to witness the action. Most of the movies created now usually have a scene or more that has violence. Whether a movie has two couples fighting or an army of people fighting with another army of people, it is considered to be some type of violence. I can name lots and lots of movies that have at least one scene where violence or killing takes place. No one wants to watch a dumb nature channel or something stupid like.
