The Media’s Influences on Society
The topic I chose to write my major essay on is the media’s
influences on society.
This includes both positive and negative influences that the
media portrays which plays a big part in society. I will explain
how and why the media is used for much more than just
entertainment purposes for society and how the media affects
the choices society makes and its outcomes. The media affects
society with these influences because it alters the way people
think and it plays a role in the choices the people make. The
change in peoples thoughts do to influences from what they see
creates an opportunity for them to either make a good or bad
choice depending on the type of influence that is shown. I
believe that most of time the media portrays negative influences
upon society. A positive influence from the media would be a
commercial or show/clip about stopping bullying that informs
people about the topic and why bullying is wrong and how it
affects the lives of the victims. This type of media would
influence society in a positive way because it would actually get
society thinking about the situation and for the bullies some of
them will actually realize the harm they are causing there
victims and they would probably stop bullying people. A
negative influence of the media would be a song with someone
talking about how they murder people and take drugs and make
it in a way to make people think it’s “cool” and then people who
listen to it start imitating the things talked about in the song
because they want to be “cool”. What I hope to accomplish with
this essay is to open people eyes and help them see that the
things they watch and listen to as in media actually alter the
way they think and the choices they make so hopefully they
change what they listen to and watch to more positive things.
The reason I chose to write about the media and its influences
on society is to inform people that media has a bigger purposes
than just entertainment for society and to hopefully help people
make better choices and actually pay attention to the things they
watch and listen to. I see how the media influence our modern
society everywhere, at the basketball courts at the park at
stores. Some of the people at the basketball courts I go to start
listening to music that talk about drugs, gangs, murder and they
start acting tough, being stupid and talking reckless and they
get into arguments or even worse end up getting into fights and
someone gets hurt I see this all the time. My paper is important
because it will help shed light on the media motives and
hopefully start making people make choices for themselves. I
chose this topic to show what the media does and to show that
the media is not just for entertainment.
