media is corrupting the society. DYA?

The media is a channel whereby information is disseminated. Different countries rely on different mode of media to convey information. So, I would like to talk about the power of movies and Internet in the modern, highly urbanized society. Therefore, it is not surprising that such mediums of media are evident in the modern society and it is especially manipulating the mindsets of youths today.


Take for example movie like “ Royal Battle” in which a class of students is left in an isolated island to begin their battle. Ultimately, the survivor wins the game leaving all the rest dead. The movie depicts killing of friends in a gory way and I was absolutely aghast when I saw the thriller of the movie. Such movies promote violence among youths and show a misconception of mass killing being similar to a game, which is completely wrong. Mass killing is seen as simulating and exciting in the course of the “game” and forgoes the fact that it is immoral of them to play such a “game”. Youths nowadays are good imitators, they model after what they see or hear very well. It must be disastrous if “Royal Battle” will be reflected in real life situation. Thus, the violent movie can corrupt the minds of youths to thinking that mass killing is cool and exciting.



Newspaper advertisements have also been actively promoting slimming pills and centers with the collaboration with artist. The newspaper defines the only way to beautiful is to be slim. The before and after picture of successful people that undergone slimming further establish the fact that slimming center can help people to shed tremendous weight. But these ads have also cause more and more young girls to become anorexic. The papers have over emphasized on the importance of beauty to be slim which have had its negative impacts on the society.
