Mass media

Nowadays, the mass media like the TV, radio, and newspapers have a huge influence on people’s ideas and behavior. I agree with this point and it can affect the societies with bad habits.

First of all, there is some advantage of mass media. Firstly we can learn from the TV if we use it in the right way like Islamic channels and useful programs. The radio is very useful for example in my country there is a program at 7 clock in the morning discussing the situation of the people; also in the newspaper every day we can read about other countries and what is happening there. We have this method we can use it in the right way to be useful for us but we live in an educated society and we can choose which is the right and the wrong.

On the other hand the disadvantage is too much in my opinion. Firstly, the mass media affect all people especially the teenagers and the children. The teenagers will learn from another culture and will grow with them and it will affect the society; for example in China the government controls everything even, the internet; they are showing only their programs and movies.

To sum up, the mass media are very useful and if we use  them in the right way we can learn from other countries. We also can see and know about other cultures in the world but we should not forget our country and our culture.
