3.  The term media refers to several different forms of
communication required to educate and make a socially aware
nation. The communication forms can be radio, television,
cinema, magazines, newspapers, and/or Internet-based web
sites.
 Social awareness is defined as being aware of the problems
that different societies and communities face on a day-to-day
basis and to be conscious of the difficulties and hardships of
society.
 Today, everyone is connected with media, spreading
awareness about a certain issue becomes easy as the message
can be spread among a wide range of people.

4.  To understand the responsibilities of various
media forms in creating social awareness.
 To know whether media always uses relevant
sources for their news or not.
 To know the impact of media on people’s
opinions and point of views.
 To know how media can be properly used to
create awareness on issues which truly matters.

5.  Media is often considered as a mirror of the society.
 The main objective should be to inform, educate and entertain
the people. These days, media has solely become the voice of
some political parties.
 We find that the television channels and newspapers are
racing and competing with each other to make fast money. In
order to do so, the channels and news distributors are cashing
on the news in an unethical way.
 Moreover, at times, the media also hurt the sentiments of the
people.

6.  Media focuses more on commercialization.
 Now a days, hot news which can help in increasing the TRP
rates of the channel becomes the priority for them.
 We must not forget the fact that there are some honest
communication forms also. These forms often put their lives
at risk to inform us about an event or activity which may be in
the form of a terrorist attack, natural disaster and sting
operation to eradicate the social evil, viz. corruption and/or
other crime related news.
 Thus, these forms result in creating awareness amongst the
society.

7.  The communication form(s) should be such
that it provides a good atmosphere to enhance
the process of binding the society and not
breaking the unity amongst the society.
 We should never forget that if the various
communication forms play their respective
roles honestly and cohesively, no one can
either weaken the strength of our society or
stop the development of our nation.

8.  If we just look around then we would find that there is no
aspect of our life which is not touched and affected by
media. Be it our work, relationships, education or
entertainment, media is seen everywhere. And there is no
denial that we can not live without media.
 Thus, it is also our responsibility to prevent from sharing
false news on social media.
 We must be aware of the social conditions in the society
and must avoid getting offended or offending other’s
believes and opinions.
