^Reflection^

The main thing that sticks out to me when it comes to this issue is that it's nothing but negativity. I do not believe that anything positive comes out of the media. Positive media influence is like an oxymoron to me. There's also no way of escaping it because it's everywhere; TV, radio, printed material, and the Internet. Mass medias purpose is to create audiences for information, artistic expressions, and other kinds of messages. Sounds harmless right? Well to an extent it is, but its effects are definitely out there! The media is powerful and effective enough to shape the way people view the world. Others look at the media as something to provide role models. Sadly, it provides good and bad ones. The media is a scary thing because you can be a victim of it and not even notice it.(yikes!!)

With everything that our media contains, it is easy to find it detestable. With the things that we are constantly surrounded by makes some of us truly believe that we would be better off without any type of media.
But then you must think, what type of society would we be without Any media influence.
With out the influence of others, we would not have a real society. The decision of whether or not media is harmful to our culture, or a culture forming quality is one that tilts the scales radically on both sides.
