Mass Media
It's impressive and very worrying how the mass media increase their influence and generates many behaviours that violates in a very serious way the conduct of people around the world, aspects that can not be unnoticed.
Today the media is subordinated to different political and economic powers and they set aside sometimes objectivity, truth, and rather the interests of those who manage it. In addition, it is important to know that the media manipulate the news on their favor.
It is a fact that television, cinema, radio, newspapers and magazines and many other media have experienced a huge progress and a very growth in recent decades. One of the reasons that have driven mass media to this is the enormous influence of these media in society.
An example can be every politic campaign: the objective number one is always to control the media, why? Because if you control the media you control the people, the media control the people. The mass media are also used by the government to hide their mistakes and their corruption. The mass media, in a way, are censured by the government. They are not allowed to convey the truth to the audience, the public, the people.
Media globalization cannot be stopped. It is a result of new communications technology. It is also the prerequisite and facilitator for all other forms of globalization. Communicating internationally has never been easier, thanks to new media platforms, we can have a video conversation with a loved one who is 50,000 miles away.
We just need to be careful I think, media can be good but also can change the public opinion taking advantage of their power.
The mass media, even though they are supposed to inform the general public in a just and truthful way, are being used as tools for concealing the truth and manipulating the masses.
