Media

We know as media to the varied information presented by radio, television, newspaper, magazines and press. That somehow touches us,  influences us, built our personalities, instructs us, inform  or many times also misinforms us. Currently the media  becomes part of our lives, influencing us in different ways from very early ages. So our ideologies, aspirations and beliefs as a society are based somewhat on the information it has presented through history. There are few criticisms and investigations that arise against and in favor of the effect of this on society. Many, thank the media for the availability of information and communication that it provides. Others make it responsible for many modern ills. This week rather than conduct an informal interview, I met with a group of college classmates which presented their vision about the media. They presented several factors, both positive and negative. Once more went afloat, the advantage of communication that it give to us, the availability of information and access to news and the global connection. But were the vast majority disagree with the way that they distort reality, information. Many times take things in context. The advertising, which makes us very often compulsive. And the  public information that presents to our young people and children under the age of 18.










In subjective opinion media is a great way to keep in touch with the rest of the world. Affordable to information, news, ideas and cultures of others. Uniting us, giving us the opportunity to share ideas, visions, ways of life with the rest of the world. But many times, the same way the information provided by the media is used incorrectly or not so good things or tools are shared. Keeps us attached to the outside and often us away from our nearest reality. It distorts reality, causing very serious consequences. But despite this it still has the merit of how much we've grown as society by globalization. And I would say that it is our responsibility to reassess our media, and somehow modify what is hurting us.
