How media controls how and what you think?
Answers
the mass media may not be successful in telling people what to think but undoubtedly they are successfully telling their audience what to think about. The media cannot force anyone to believe in something or to have a certain opinion on a subject but at least it makes an influencing impression of which face of the coin does it think important. It makes a pre-notion or say first impression about the subject in the hearts of the audience and that off course changes the course of our thinking to a larger extent. So to a certain extent, yes, the media is controlling some of our decisions. Nowadays the media clearly tells that if you are thinking like this you are not right, you must rethink like the way they tell you to. Suppose let’s take an example of how teleshopping is done on television. The advertisement of a belt which has to be tied on stomach and waist 24 hours can reduce your weight. In the advertisement they clearly say and even show that running and exercises can’t make you slim and fit and that if you want to look slim and smarter you must use that belt 24 hours and needn’t running or any exercises daily. The question here is that they don’t even mention once that how good running or exercising is for healthy life rather than using the belt.
I think it same which is give before me the answer.
