ESSAY


Could you imagine how much Mass Media has influenced people over the years? First of all let me give you a definition, Mass Media refers to different sources by which people communicate or get something. There are some kinds of mass media such as newspapers, magazines, television, internet, radio, books, among others, but I will focus on the first four kinds. Many people think that mass media has brought many problems for people, but they do not think about the great influence that mass media has on people.

Talking about print media such as newspapers and magazines, Brassil (2209), who is agree with people against these, could say that they are just garbage that pollute our environment. On the other hand, I think that we can reuse newspaper and magazines to do homework cutting images or letters, they are also useful to clean some things at home, to cover notebooks and in that way we will be recycling. Opponents of using print media like Lad (2008) also claim that they spend a lot of time reading unimportant articles like gossips in magazines, but that is what they say because we can magazines like National Geographic which is very good because we learn from the readings. There are magazines for women and men and magazines of fashion that are also good because people learn more about themselves, body, how to dress, and they talk about problems that people can solve by reading that articles. Newspaper and magazines are very good sources to be updated and they are not bad for people on the contrary they are helpful to learn more and more.

Nowadays television is one of the most common mass media because everybody has at least one at home. Greep (2004) who is one of the people in contrast of TV’s benefits, information and entertainment might say that it is bad because it transmits violence through the programs, but they do not think about the benefits it has like the information transmitted in programs such as People and Arts, Home and Health, National Geographic Channel, among others where people increase their knowledge. Some people like Ashkuls (2009) claim that we just waste time and in that way obesity is growing up, however it is for people who just use TV to get fun and they do not have the purpose of learning something new. Of course people can get fun, but it has to be measured to avoid the dependence of watching TV because fun is part of our lives and we need to distract our minds doing something different, but we have to balance fun and knowledge. Television is a big source that we can use for different purposes and we can have many advantages of this.

Now it is time of Internet Media which has been useful in many ways. Even though the article of the University of Phoenix (2009) says that it is a terrible source because many people communicate and give personal information that bad people use to steal others and to kidnap children, adolescents and adults, I have the idea that this media is like a big world that we can manage and we have to be intelligent to use it, so we are responsible of the way we use the internet. It is known that we can get information and entertainment and we can know many things and the ones who can have problems are children that do not distinguish between good or bad, so parents has to be checking them to control every movement they do in the computer. The same article of the University of Phoenix (2009) declares that this media provides awful information such as pornography and it changes the mind of the people who watch those things and many of them turn into rapists. It is something that really exists, but we know that if internet media disappear, the world does not change and we know that rapists exist since many years ago. The internet offers many services and pornography is one of them, but what we have to do is avoid this kind of webpage and enjoy the ones that are very beneficial.

Mass Media has chanced our world in many ways and there are some people that think that it is not good because it means problems for them. Different kinds of mass media help people to increase knowledge, to get fun and information and some of them are newspapers, magazines, television, internet and others. They are sources that update ourselves and provide services, entertainment and information. I am in pro of mass media because it is the way we will be increasing our knowledge in an easy and funny way. Mass media has influenced many people and they have learnt many things that have been helpful through the development of our world that is why you should be in pro of this.
