All people really, are influenced, but mostly the young due to their lack of life experiences. It is that lack of experience which opens a door for the media influance. This can be seen in society by the act of copy-cat crimes. A person seeks a manner of acting out but does not use a method of their own chooseing they use a method that they heard about in the mass media. Without mass media this sort of thing would be far more localized. Peoples decision makeing is based on their life experience, which includes mass media, such is the term learn from your mistakes. Media also affects what is socially acceptable thus always changeing the limits that the people push.
The younger generation
With the rise of mass media in the 1920's, several things changed in the way of music, and the way that news is transmitted. Since then, media has developed even more, and people are able to access virtually any piece of music or news that they desire.
Mass media
The mass media have greatly affected the culture of many countries-- some people would say the effect has been negative, but for the most part, the mass media are an essential and generally positive part of life. The media tell you what the important stories are in the news, let you know about the weather, introduce you to famous politicians and entertainers and athletes, help you to learn more about history, entertain you and provide companionship, and teach you about the norms and customs of the culture (one of the purposes of the mass media is to transmit the culture from one generation to another). Often, media exposure creates fads, hit songs, memes, and catch-phrases, and it can also persuade people to buy certain products. And by seeing a popular celebrity wearing a certain style, many people will want to emulate that "look." The media are well-known for promoting consumerism (most media have commercials, an aspect that critics like to complain about); but there is more to the media than just telling us about cool new products. The media can also be educational: an immigrant who comes to America may never have seen the flag nor known much about our president. By watching TV or reading magazines, he or she gain useful knowledge about American life; and by listening to how English is spoken on TV or radio, that immigrant can become more familiar with the language. The mass media are also a unifying factor during a crisis-- when there is a catastrophic event, people turn to TV or radio or internet or news magazines to learn more and to understand what happened (and why).
functions of music in mass media
Yes!! I agree about the topic!!!
Mass media communication has the potential to negatively influence individuals who are vulnerable to the power of suggestion. For example, countless young girls suffer from anorexia nervosa or bulimia. Varies studies have supported the contention that mass media which represents females as too thin can have a negative influence on their emotional health.
Without mass media, propaganda could not be effectively used to influence many people. The fact that mass media reaches many people almost instantly allows the message to reach and affect many people in a timely way.
I belive that mass media has affected our society both positively and negetively. It has programmed our thoughts,how we dress and how we relate to one another.Certain images shown on television influence kids to misbehave,disobeying parents under the impression that its cool.Disobediance leads to distruction,that leads to teenage pregnancy, drug abuse etc.On the other hand mass media can persuade young kids positively:if you tune to programmes that motivates positive force.
well i cant give and awesome definition but mass media controls the images that people see and the news that people receive. the media can influence public opinion in nearly every aspect of American life. so if the media is right were getting good info but if wrong disaster and such could happend. >.>
Mass media can be a valuable tool for teaching young people about sex education, as it can provide accessible information and diverse perspectives. However, the suitability depends on the accuracy and appropriateness of the content presented. While some programs and materials can foster healthy discussions and awareness, others may perpetuate misinformation or unrealistic portrayals of relationships. Therefore, it is essential for parents and educators to guide young people in critically evaluating mass media messages about sex education.
Yes, the influence was important by the intermediate of mass media, propaganda, corruption, etc.
Most of the influence of the mass media on interpersonal relationships is the powerful influence of advertising. Commercial messages influence how people feel about themselves and their image to others. Commercial messages influence what a person's expectations are about themselves, about others, about what their lives should be like. For most people, these expectations are usually unrealistic and for some, can be damaging to their self esteem which directly affects how they relate to others. The other influence that mass media has on interpersonal relationships is for people who believe what the media tells them concerning political or social issues; people who take the messages as truth because they are delivered with conviction and base their own belief system on these messages without further investigation or wisdom. This makes it difficult for others to relate to them.
Intensive use of mass media to spread political ideas
by creating a collective arena for issues to be discussed
One factor that does not influence mass media is the personal opinions of individual consumers. While public sentiment can shape media content over time, mass media is primarily influenced by economic pressures, regulatory environments, audience demographics, and technological advancements. Individual preferences may vary, but they do not directly dictate the overarching trends or editorial decisions made by media organizations.
Mass media refers to the way the media reaches the masses. In today's time, it is possible for someone to get news at any time of day, and are able to choose what sources they get it from, having an influence on what they think.
