How the Media Effects Society

Cause & Effect; Media & Society

Turn on the TV, surf the internet, excavate the radiowaves. All of these items are todays main sources of media. Society is obviously overrun by Hollywood's themes, or by their favorite musician. When I say this I especially shift my eyes towards todays youth.

Even though I am still practically known as "a youth", I feel that I have a grip on what media does to my peers, and even adults. Even in history there is a pattern of media controlling society rather than people going out and discovering themselves. All of this leads to is the use and value of money, in my eyes of course. This concept is fully opinionated, but I believe back-up information in a necessity in a kind of arguement like this.

Shows like 'MTV Cribs', 'Pimp My Ride', and 'My Super Sweet 16' are all perfect examples of media that demeans the value of our currency. People, not just celebrities, throw cash around like confetti. But what about the people in this nation, or even in the world, that work hard for their well earned money? These little brats on 'My Super Sweet 16' is the best example. 'MTV Cribs' just shoves it in your face that they make more money than you by living their possible dreams, and 'Pimp My Ride' isn't that bad at all, they do help people that do have poor looking cars. But the people only care they only have poor looking cars due to socities values on tangible objects. But either way you look at it, they help "less fortunate" people gain a nice car and a huge ego boost.
