Media has a huge impact on just about everything society does. From “fake” reality tv, to the hottest scenes on “Scandal”, to FOX news. We must not forgot social media and the way people spend countless hours scrolling away. As humans we absorb it all like a sponge. The effects of media impulsively incline society to react to the image portrayed. So much that it has become the norm. Basically to the point that if it does not contain some level of negativity and/or drama, many may not be interested to even indulge. Have we allowed “media” to sculpt our society? How do we regain control of our communities interest?
Conquering the problem from the source is vital in these times. The images that are shown in everyday media are to cultivate an idealism and thought process for the wave of society to copy. This is a huge problem when the images we see 88% of the time are that of violence, immoral genres, and commercially structured REALITY!
As a society we must realign ourselves with the importance of family foundation which will strengthen the household. There is a need to reinstall core values and the the feeling of security. Reestablishing our community involvement is also very important. When you look around there are far more people who want to see change than those who don’t. There needs to be more time sacrificed from this majority in order to really be a progressive community. Time is precious to us all, however it is also free to give. Time can be the rise or fall of your community. Most importantly love of self. When people look at images on the t.v. they mimic what they see . A lot of times people loose themselves because they are lost in character. Self love allows you to create a unique YOU, regardless off what media portrays. Lastly, simply doing a nice clean sweep on negative social media friends/followers. Sometimes is not only the company you keep in the physical but also in the virtual world.
Negative media will judge, investigate and create tension. However, our generation has control over what we allow in our own lives. What we see in media should not define our character as a culture. We must challenge ourselves to create a demand for better images of ourselves in the media.
