Media Influences   The advent of mass media was a breakthrough for the information and technology sector. In the recent years mass media has gained a lot of importance in the day to day life. People have started relying on televisions, radios etc for their daily source of entertainment and information. They have influenced people, old and young, in many ways. To conclude, the mass media has provided a means of entertainment and information. But if they are not perceived rightly then the consequences can be gruesome. The mass media is a big part of our culture in terms of entertainment, yet it can also be a helper, adviser and teacher to our young generation. The mass media affects the lives of our young by acting as a substitute for a number of institutions and social contacts, by providing information and entertainment, by creating and mediating art, etc. In this way, it fulfills a variety of functions in human life.  The time spent in front of the television screen is usually at the expense of leisure: there is less time for games, amusement and rest. Most often children look upon television as a certain kind of socially beneficial instrument, an open door into the “world of the imagination". Attracted by what is happening on the screen, children not only imitate what they see but directly identify themselves with different characters. The Surgeon General also states that Americans have been concerned about the prevalence of violence in the media and its potential harm to children and adolescents for at least forty years. During this period, new media emerged, such as video games, cable television, music videos, and the Internet. Current psychological theory suggests that the interactive nature of many of these new media may affect children’s behavior more powerfully than they have thought in the past. As they continue to gain popularity, these media, along with television, prompt public concern and research attention. Another large social concern on our young generation inflicted by the media is body image. External forces can influence body image positively or negatively. For one, social and cultural norms and mass media marketing impact our concepts of beauty. In the mass media, the images of standardized beauty fill magazines and newspapers, beam from our televisions and entertain us at the movies. Even in advertising, the mass media plays upon accepted cultural values of thinness and fitness for commercial gain. Young adults are presented with a narrowly defined standard of attractiveness, an ideal that carries unrealistic physical expectations. Both boys and girls are told that they should look like a model, but only one in forty-thousand people, naturally have a model’s body shape. This is a problem because adolescence is a time when young adults begin to separate from their parents and identify their own identities. Acceptance by their peers is of utmost importance. This can make teens vulnerable to ideals embraced by our culture and reflected in the media. To obtain the fashionable, ultra thin look, many young men and women restrict their food intake. Sometimes, men or women will result to drastic measures to fit the image they want to be, or the image that they feel society will accept them. In doing so, disorders can develop, such as Anorexia nervosa and Bulimia nervosa. Many people can hide their disorder very well, and can result in death. So, the media should be of great concern to our society. What our youth see and view, is what they feel society wants from them. Delivering wrong messages and unrealistic images by the media can only cause problems and trouble for our youth. Although the sole purpose of the media is enjoyment for society, the public should be aware that it could sometimes cause negative effects on its viewers. 2. Make up 10 questions to the text.
