for example:
television is responsible for the increase of violence in our society
or
magazines are responsible for anorexia because of the models they portray..
it can be your opinion.
media could be anything from radio, tv, internet, iPod, cell phones, movies, books
I think it has made society as a whole less sensitive to violence, especially the visual. In my parents day (WWII etc) it was simply not done to expose children to any graphic details – children were told the bare minimum in an effort to protect their innocence. There is a lot my parents would not discuss with us, even as adults. Children today have to cope with daily doses of the visual (I think overdone) – It must have some influence on their personnas.
I believe in general society has become more anxious with daily news portraying non-stop disasters; global warming, pollution, wars, famines, etc. where as in the past they were much more ignorant of the scope of these, and generally would lead more carefree, live for the moment, and relaxed type lives. They were more “down to earth.”
Having such items as internet, cell phones, etc. has given people the opportunity to have almost instantaneous answers to their questions, so maybe they are less inclined to give more thought to their own feelings and opinions, and likely to be more influenced by the media. I think they may actually read and write less than in the past as spelling (generally) seems to be of a poorer standard.
I don’t mean to be critical – Just my impressions.
