Our society is so heavily engraved
in the media that it is almost unavoidable. As of today there are so many
different forms of media that it is absolutely necessary to use it in
order to receive information regarding a variety of things. Although there are
benefits to using social media it has become increasingly evident through
research that there are more negative characteristics about the media than
there are positive.
Effects of Mass Media
Media has become a prominent part
of our everyday lives. According to Schneider and colleagues (2012), over 95%
of all households in the United States and Canada have televisions. In today’s
society, it has become even more common among adolescents. Adolescents are
spending approximately 8 hours per day with various media (Schneider, Gruman,
& Coutts, 2012). Media has evolved greatly over the last decade. Now,
media, in general is very easy to access. Cellular phone advanced that now the
internet is literally right at the tips of our fingers. Many great dangers can
result to viewing particular media. Predicted violent behavior and sexual
behavior can be related to what adolescents view through media.
THE GOOD MEDIA EFFECTS:
IQs are rising, according to the Education
Testing Service. Much of the increase is due to advances in media assisted
learning and interactive game playing.
Girls are advancing in the field of science.
Some studies attribute this to increased numbers of females engaging in
interactive game play.
The nexus between media and learning is
increasingly popular and we are learning more about learning.
Communication is increasing across cultures.
Media has helped foster public understanding of
many crucial issues.
Happy Learning!
