In addition to my personal experience with my nephew, my criticism of the mass media is based on the assumption that what people see and hear strongly affect their attitudes and behavior towards others. Anyone who saw my nephew would find it difficult to believe that the media does not have a direct impact on people s attitudes and actions. More evidence shows that television viewing may have a long-term effect that can t yet be measured. One study of three Canadian towns before and after television was introduced found that TV watching was associated with a decline in reading skills, an increase in aggressive behavior, and less involvement in community activities. Therefore, the reasons for my strong opinions against mass media are based on personal experiences and research.
Television is a powerful tool that is used daily to influence the masses.
It has some bad influences on young children. We must take some kind of steps to shield our future generation from the mass media s bacteria. Provide specific, detailed examples to support your opinion. According to sociology researchers we know four agents of socialization, which help children develop. These are family, school, peers and mass media.
