Media's Effect on Society
How well do you know yourself? Do you realize everything that you do in your everyday life? Do you look at the little things that you do everyday on a daily basis, like watching TV, playing video games, or even texting while driving? These little things that nobody thinks of makes a huge difference in someone's everyday life. Media has an effect on all of us in some way. Even though we do not realize how the media is effecting us in our everyday lives, it is happening. From the smallest things to the biggest things, the media is transforming teens and adults to think and contradict themselves on actions that they take. Why does the media do this? It all has to do with marketing. They are trying to get you to buy their products by pointing out all of the flaws that you have, and centering around the idea that you need their product to be happy with yourself. When truthfully, all you need to be happy with yourself, is you. Take a stand against the media and continue the fight! We can stop the media's influence day by day, but it starts with you. Let's make a change Central!
