What is media?
• Media is a tool used to
convey mass communication
to a larger audience or
market. Up until the 20th
century the main source of
information were TV, Radio,
Magazine, Newspaper and
lately the internet. These
mass media plays a big role
in our life.

How it affects us: • The media is a good source of
information and entertainment.
• It has a great effect on the
society and in our life
experience, our attitudes, our
kids and our self. We sometimes
try to apply these concepts to
our everyday life.
• Media can be a great source of
wisdom and knowledge but we
should realize its impact on our
society, our family, our
attitudes, our kids and our self.

Teenagers like to watch
TV shows about Love,
Fashion, Relationship,
violence and many
other things. On the
other hand older
people watch things
about Food, Health,
Exercises and news
from the world. This
affect everyone
behaviours at that
particular time.

Influence of mass media:
• We live in a society that depends on
information and communication to
keep moving in the right direction
and do our daily activities like work,
entertainment, attitudes, healthcare,
education, personal relationships,
travelling and anything else that we
have to perform.
• Media is the means of support to the
people in the world which shapes
their attitude, opinion, and makes
them to think before they start doing
a particular work.

Influence on children:
• Many children watch between two and four hours of television per day.
• The presence of role models, how men and women, boys and girls are presented
in the media, powerfully affects boys and girls their role in the world.
• Some people allow the children to surf the webs, without noticing that are plenty
of disasters on Internet.

Influence on parents: • The media plays a role in
providing information and
support to parents about
child-rearing.
• In every category of mass
media, from books and
magazines, television and
the internet, message
about child-rearing are
being directed to parents
to an extraordinary level.
• Yet, little attention is given
to the quantity or quality
of those messages.

Positive influences:
The media creates the
ideal image of a
beautiful man and
woman and tells the
characteristics of a
successful person.
Media is one of the
successful instruments
to enrich our children,
youth and parents to
become successful one.
It shapes our attitudes
towards our better life.
If there is a sport that is
getting a lot of
attention by the media
and gains popularity
among your friends and
society, you will more
likely want to practice
the sport and be cool
with all your friends.
The result is that you
will have fun with your
friends and be healthier
because of the exercise
you are doing.

Negative influences:
• A negative influence in teenagers is
the use of cigars by celebrity movie
stars, the constant exposure of sex
images, the excessive images of
violence and exposure to thousands
of junk food ads.
• Mass media is one of the main source
considered of immorality such as
drugs, drinking, pre-marital sex and
adultery are of acceptance today.
Media shows us these things. Exposes
us to them. And we are all thinking “if
they are doing it, why can’t we?” It is
implanted in our mind that these
things are normal.

• Another negative influence in teenagers that has
grown over the last years is anorexia and obesity.
• There are millions of adolescents fighting obesity.
• And they are exposed to thousands of
advertisements of junk food, and they are told that
they will become thin and wealthy.

Conclusion:
• In conclusion, we have absolutely no
control over the media. It plays a
constant role in our daily life. We are
manipulated and influenced in our
appearance, beliefs, desires and
opinion.
• The media has formed our physical
environment in which
advertisement posters decorate our
buildings, walls and transportation
systems. This of course has changed
within the development of mass
media and will continue to change in
the future.

We should not take media as negative sources of impact. Not only
media but everything has good and bad influence. It is up to person’s
catching ability. It is also depending on person’s mind and thinking. If a
person is a positive receiver the person will receive it positively.
