Impact Of Media In The Media

History has changed. Ideas and standards have also changed. Back in the day, when the media or movies showed a hint or a dash of blood, the reaction of the average person was shock and disgust at the blood and gore shown. These scenes and clips shown have become more and more extreme over the years to the level of being hazardous to society. Even in the videogame industry, certain scenes that may have caused outrage and commotion fifteen years ago are now seen as childish and may even be considered as humorous. To put it candidly, most of the mass media has been used widely to its ability to influence and persuade, to glorify, and diabolize thoughts and actions of individuals. Yet people of this generation still spend a great percentage of

Media in Society: A Brief Introduction’s chapters one, two, three, and four delve into detail about how we are able to understand and analyze the media, how we view the media as metaphors, all different ways images capture meanings, and all the various narratives that are presented by the media. Beginning with chapter one, this particular chapter discusses how we understand media in our society in various ways. It introduces the critical process to comprehend media content.

The media is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, ways though which social issues are influenced. The influence exerted on the issue can either help resolve it, or make it worse. As such, the information a presented in the media is very specific so as to control the direction of certain issues. Such issues may include war, immigration, or gay rights. As far as gays rights are concerned, the progression of this issue has been very slow due to the portrayal of gays in the media. First, there was a lack of representation. Then, it moved to a misrepresentation of gays in the media. The representation of gays in the media has created a specific image of gay individuals that is used to perpetuate inequality and discrimination

Humans have been a focus for marketers for over 100 years and at the rise of the twentieth century, mass media became widely recognized. In a period of mass availability, people today have entry to more media outlets than ever before. According to media scholar Jean Kilbourne,“the average American is exposed to over 3,000 advertisements a day and watches three years’ worth of television ads over the course of a lifetime” (back cover). It is all around us, from the shows we watch on television, the music we listen to on the radio, and to the books and magazines we read each day. Media is the number one source for advertising. Advertising is “a manipulative enterprise that uses subtle techniques to persuade consumers into accepting whatever sales pitch [that is] presented to them (Blades, Oates, and Blumberg 3). The vast majority of people do not think that advertising has any influence on them. To their surprise, “this is what advertisers want the general population to believe; however, if that were true, why would companies spend over $200 billion a year on advertising” (Kilbourne 33)? The media has full control to decide what the public sees and how it is portrayed.

In today’s modern social and public media children can come across many different forms of unwanted profanity and bad practices. As this becomes more and more prevalent children are slowly becoming more and more accustomed to hearing and seeing profane things. Children are being impacted in a negative way when crossing negative and profane media. This media can lead to children developing a sense of fear, lack of respect towards their piers and others around them, and a desensitizing of emotions and thoughts.

The topic of how the media influence governmental issues is confounded, yet in its most fundamental definition, the right response to it is this: It depends. Albeit early standard way of thinking held that the media had solid, direct, supposed hypodermic impacts, later research gives persuading proof that individual-level and logical elements essentially impact the degree to which media influence individuals ' political conduct and convictions and, in the long run, open arrangement. The plan of this examination paper is to serve as a prologue to a portion of the essential hypotheses, bits of knowledge, and verbal confrontations about media and governmental issues. In doing as such, it touches on issues of media possession,

Social media publicizes a substantial amount of messages about identity and acceptable ways to express gender, sexuality and ones lifestyle, but at the same time, the viewers have their own differing feelings about the issues. The media may suggest certain feelings and actions, but the audiences feelings can never overpower self-expression completely. The media portrays certain things because it is what is being accepted. Neither parties, these being the media and its audience, have full power over their actions. Both go hand-in-hand to influence each other at times allowing media to take over actions, while the audience has its own feelings about actions to either agree or disagree with the media. Gender and sex are two different things that people tend to confuse when describing people, but both can easily be cleared up, along with talking about how people influence media and media influences people. Television, movies, and toys are not just to blame on media making them the way they are today. The societal influencing that inspired these may have turned into an exaggerated form, but the overall concepts came from society and would not continue to be around if the consumer did not accept these feelings, issues and lifestyles.

Seen as the heart of the political system, the media and its different portrayals of the presidency result in a quite unique relationship. At times, the media portrays the President positively and at other times the relationship may be a bit more negative. This relationship tends to make the flow of information and media spotlight a concern for the President to maintain. But, controlling the stream of information isn’t an easy task particularly when it is unfairly negative. The mass media retains unrealistic expectations of the President at times. Positive and negative portrayals and the constant effort to control the flow of information shape a distinctively complicated relationship with the media.

With all these mediums to ensure communication and information to communities globally, it has become a great staple in how many conduct their lives and communicate to others. While many would suggest that we are to not believe everything we read or see, could that mean that it has the ability to have a negative effect on some? And if so what age, demographic or social group could be considered to be more vulnerable to these effects?

Being able to understand all sides of the story is very important when trying to pick a side. Today, news broadcasters are notorious for providing everyone with bias news. There are six main news sources which are called the Power House Networks; Fox news, ABC News, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and NBC, but unfortunately each one pushes a different political view. A good example is a current event about the health care plan by which each powerhouse network pushes their political view. News viewers tend to be oblivious when it comes to bias in the media because they would rather hear what they believe is right. There are many ways to find truth in journalism that everyone needs to be aware of for example, going to more than one source and conducting a

Every day we rely on the news to keep us abreast of the state of affairs in our lives. From the tiniest of towns to the largest sprawling metropolis we need our news to be accurate, objective and we need it fast. As times change not only does the way in which we get our news change but in how it is presented to us. Biases in our media have always existed but the public’s distrust of the media because of these biases is quite high.

A Pew Research Center poll conducted in 2011 found that 77 percent of respondents believed news organizations tend to favor one side over the other (Keiner, 2013, p. 405).

On Tuesday, April 11th, 2017, Pepsi released one of the most controversial video advertisements the world has seen in recent years; it was watched nearly 1.6 billion times in 48 hours (Watercutter). The ad depicted supermodel and reality television star Kendall Jenner wiping off her makeup mid-photoshoot and joining a crowd of protesters, most of whom were minorities. Once in the crowd, she made her way to the front and handed one of the police officers circled around the protestors a can of Pepsi. Suddenly, the officer smiled and the audience broke out in cheer and support of Jenner’s apparently heroic and uniting move.

In every woman’s life, the media holds a strong influence on how she views herself. Whether it be a celebrity’s secret anti-aging cream, at-home workout plan, or new clothing line, women look towards the media to impact their decisions on their appearance. Although positive effects can come from letting advertisements guide one’s judgement, sometimes false advertisements can have a negative impact on how a woman perceives herself. People in charge of commercials, magazines, and other ads distort their publications in ways that critique someone’s physical appearance, otherwise known as body shaming.
