The collective impact of Media.

The collective impact of Media.

In the modern world, Media are becoming more important to our life. Media could be anything that around us: book, music, video, newspaper and internet. In the world we currently lived, media seems are playing a significant role towards culture, gender, economy even me. In the DC class we learned media literacy, and to have judgement on media literacy which is bias or unbiased. The influence of collective of media could be bias and negative.  The media  such music book shows the discrimination on culture, for example , the judgement on “Should woman wear Hijab  in not Islamic countries.” Hijab is a part of  their religion, this is so bias. Media influences and violence.

Seeing violent media content often enough can make it more likely that someone will behave in an aggressive or violent way, be less understanding of other people’s needs and feelings, and feel more afraid of their environment.This kind of content doesn’t always – or even often – show what would happen if people behaved violently in real life. It can mean that teenagers don’t get a realistic understanding of what happens when you’re violent in real life.Media can also influence other unhealthy or risky behavior, including smoking, drinking alcohol and taking other drugs. But it’s worth remembering that media is just one of several influences on this kind of behavior. Other more powerful influences include family and friends.

 

I could also be positive: For example, people who are exposed to and take an interest in the news are more likely to be interested in major social and political issues. This can help educate them and encourage them to become more involved as citizens in their communities.Teenagers can also pick up important health promotion messages from the media – for example, messages aimed at preventing youth depression and suicide, and encouraging healthy eating and lifestyle habits.
