Explanation:
In today’s modern society mass media communication plays an essential role in shaping up of individual’s opinions & characters. Mass media includes television, advertising, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, and so forth. Some experts are of the view that media reflects and creates the culture. I support this opinion. Mass media has a significant impact on our society. In this essay, I will further discuss the influence of mass media on society and the general public.
Whatever we see or hear through mass media is thought to be correct. People believe what they view on television or read in the newspaper without verifying the correctness of news. For example: In 2008, an 8-year-old article of ‘financially moribund United Airlines filing for bankruptcy’ in Bloomberg, a premier name in finance news left everyone in jitters. United Airlines’s stock nosedived by 75 percent. The airline was doing very well before this old news cropped up. The trading was halted for an hour to bring everything on track. It is a perfect example of what unauthentic story can do.
The general public gets more influenced by mass media than they think. We often see advertisements of products promising slim and fit body which gives unrealistic goals to young women. They take the women in ads as their quixotic role models. It shows how mass media influences the young generation.We just believe what is shown is advertisement is best for us and thronged the stores to purchase without actually knowing the product.
In the end, I want to conclude that the statement given in the question seems to be correct as it has been proven from many studies that people get easily influenced by the mass media.
