Negatives And Effect Of Media And Media

Although adults who didn’t have cell phones and computers when they were growing up think that all of this “screen time” is bad for children it really is not, “screen time” is actually good for kids, phones and computers help the human population communicate faster and more efficiently, the average social media user has more close ties, and the opportunities outweigh the so called “distractions”.

"The Kaiser Family Foundation last year found that school-age kids spend an average of 7 1/2 hours a day in front of a television, a smartphone, or another digital device"(Rosen).

Most children today have access to devices such as television, smartphones, computers, and tablets. These devices can be used in a variety of ways, with both positive and negative outcomes. For example, preschool aged children may use a device to learn letters, numbers, or colors. School aged children may use a computer to conduct research, or watch an educational show. A child may also sit in front of the television for many hours, reducing physical activity, and become obese. I believe it is important for the parent or caregiver of the child to monitor the amount of screen time, as well as the content to optimize the benefits these devices can offer.

Technology has been part of our daily live more frequently than before. Screen time has been more popularly used on kids and adolescents. On a daily bases many kids seem to spend more time inside on their tablets, instead of having to spend time with other kids. This is a problem that is becoming more popular over the years,on whether kids need to spend that much time on technology or not. Parents either seem to have strict technology usage, or they either don’t. There has always been a huge controversy with experts, who either think that screen time is beneficial or could cause problems later on in life. There are many views towards this topic, from hurting kids brains, to helping them during school, and socially.

“In less than the span of a single childhood, Americans have merged with their machines, staring at a screen for at least eight hours a day, more time than we spend on any other activity including sleeping. Teens fit some seven hours of screen time into the average school day; 11, if you count time spent multitasking on several devices. When President Obama last ran for office, the iPhone had yet to be launched. Now smartphones outnumber the old models in America, and more than a third of users get online before getting out of bed.”

On average, teenagers already spend approximately 40 hours in front of some kind of screen per week, making it more than triple the amount of time it used to be in

The media have largely negative effects on people. It affects people of all ages, genders, and races. Effects are defined as a change that results when something is done or happens or a particular mood or feeling created by something. The media does this in both a positive and negative way but it’s negative effects are much worse and more numerous. Mass media does affect the way in which people think and act. Its positive influences are celebrated, but its negative effects are something not beneficial for a healthy society. The mass media negatively effects people because it shows the wrong message, people could be overloaded with information or become addicted, and it changes outlook and behavior.

Like many people my age, media is a huge part of my daily life and is prevalent in all my memories. Media such as photography brings to life memories I otherwise would have forgotten, while the internet allows me to connect with others from across the world and gives me access to resources like Khan Academy to aid me in school. Media also has more negative impacts, such as interfering with family time. Whether its effect is positive or negative, media has influenced my life since the start and this reflection helped me realize that.

A single day does not pass without the average American engaging in some form of technology laced with advertisements, whether it be a minute long video prefacing a Youtube video or a thirty second long Pandora audio commercial. A common theme emerges throughout these forms of media, the subordination of women. TV shows, video games, movies, and songs frequently portray women as objects, dehumanizing them by showing them as being subservient to men, or showing them as adhering to stereotypical behavior. On one hand, some argue that the information is not processed by the people watching and therefore has no impact on behavior. The skeptics say this has no impact on people’s action, pointing out the fact that people rarely watch an intense movie where many women are harmed, then proceed to go out in public and duplicate those actions. Though I concede that our society does not directly act on what they have seen, the information diffuses into their subconscious. The constant bombardment of media endorsing mistreatment of women affects people’s thought processes, diminishing reactions. “Thought processes are greatly impacted by the subconscious influence of media.” “The negative portrayal of women in media greatly influences subconscious thought processes.”

Media is where people today get most of their information. Children learn most of their gender rules through the television they watch. Media is a reflection of the society we live in. Advertising is a form of media. Since advertising is meant to appeal to society, it is a direct reflection of society.

A 2011 national survey showed that hospital marketers anticipated a “400 percent increase in the use of digital media by 2013” (Primacy News, 2011). That percentage may seem staggering, but if we reflect on the changes that digital media has brought to our everyday lives, it might not seem that strange. Digital media touches us all on a daily basis. It’s constantly shifting and changing our views of what is “normal”. Fifty years ago it was normal to race to your television to catch “The Lucy Show” Monday nights at 8:30pm on CBS. Now we go to Netflix to stream the latest season of “Arrested Development” all at once, anytime we want to. We once raced to the record shops to buy Donna Summer’s “Bad Girls” album. Now we can buy Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett’s “Cheek to Cheek” masterpiece from the comfort of our own home using iTunes.

Since you know this world is a pure chaos in many forms in any name you can reference to. We, Society, are the most distinctive cultural patterns and organized group of persons connected together for religious, benevolent, cultural, scientific, political, patriotic, or other purposes you can name of. There is many problems are happening nowadays, which it seems worsen than in the past generations. Most of problem causing I am seeing in this generation is Media itself are playing a significant role in our society today. 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. Television, Camera, Computers, and other large to small things are the goal to interfere to numberless of different goals, strategies, and other existence by trying to set for the range from entertaining to educating which end up in confusion big time. What I see is what media nowadays are showing are mostly women, race oppression, sexism, and perfection.

It has been a long time we are living with the media. Has media affected our behavior negatively? This issue – the negative influence of media on our life, has been debated since the media evolved. Media, is not only news as many would think, but also things like movies, TV shows, music, and surprisingly, even the video games are now a major part of media. All these media divarication play no negative roles on our lives for some people. However, I believe for each one of media’s divarication there is a specific violent reaction in our real lives. First, media is one of the extensive factors for the violence in our behavior. According to Craig A. Anderson and Soledad Lilian Escobar-Chaves in the “Violence in The Media,” studies that have been examined people who watch many TV shows and movies also tend to behave more aggressively.

Different theories have been utilized to dissect the media and its effect on the general public. The ascent of the m

The intensity of rapid dissemination of news after the earthquake of 25 April 2015 in Nepal started with scooping and breaking the stories in a sensational way. The Indian news reporting has not only created havoc in Nepalese society, but it has also raised the biggest questions against the ethics of journalism and on Media houses.
