Chapter 11 Question 1


The media has a major impact in the today’s society. The crazy thing about this is that it can really change how a society views certain ideas, because of the media. One way the media uses their power is with celebrities. The media has a way of showing the public how a certain celebrity acted and it could completely far from the truth, but because it was in a magazine it always them to have the sold. On the other hand, the media can uses news and make it entertaining for people.  Again, no matter what is being said, people will buy into it just because they saw so. Sometimes there is a bias and the media is able to broadcast something a certain way.  Although I watch the news all the time for current events, I have to be careful that there is not a bias, because they do a great job at convincing people.
