Media is a mixed blessing

Media is a mixed blessing

Media is a diversified field with electronic media being the major part. Media plays a vibrant role in our lives, in shaping our mind-set.

For:

- Media is one medium, where you could find information on each and every topic
- The level of studies in school has levelled up tremendously making children as well as parents rely on the internet for information
- The media makes the children aware on all the social issues happening around the world
- Advertising is cheaper on the internet, whereas a lot of new arenas are opening up on the internet like shopping is the biggest and growing industry over the internet
- Companies have a global recognition through the medium of internet

Against:

- Media through its beleaguer power has amplified the peer pressure amongst children
- With the help of advertising agencies, cold drinks and cigarettes have reached each and every nook and corner but there is no proper supply of electricity as well as water
- Media inducing the thought process also has the power to manipulate things and present to the public
- Astute politicians have erudite the art of relinquishing in the errand of their image
- Although, internet provides with knowledge on each and every topic, it spoils the children as well with extreme amount of information available over the net, especially on issues like pornography
- Cybercrime is increasing day by day due to the same issues.

Conclusion:

- Media is definitely a mixed blessing. On one hand if it teaches us new areas of life, it is spoiling the children as well at the same time. Monitoring and censoring the content to an extent will help media in just being a boon to the people.
