The Media and Society

       Our society is really influenced by the media. Children, teens, adults and even older one's. It may cause anybody's character to be better or worse. Is there any way or solution to prevent being influenced by the media? Specially the young one's who are really in to it always.

       I've been watching television since I was a child, and I have witnessed different scenes and happenings that the media have shown. Children without the guidance of their guardian might follow what they have seen on the media. And it will affect their lives by doing what is not right. But I, always think before doing anything. Because time cannot be repeated again and what have done cannot also be repeated. The media always introduce new words and languages and we should analyze it carefully before using so that we could understand the meaning of it. The media really affects my life, the way i speak and behave. It also reflects my personality and behavior towards the society. Sometimes, I can't hardly resist on showing what I learned from the media due to other factors that other people caused. That's why I should have self-control.

       So, we have to control ourselves to prevent on showing what the media has taught us. We can also minimize on entertaining ourselves through the media to avoid learning things that would make our character worse.
