"Media should teach kids how to think, not what to think" - Tumblr.
What is media? What about media? What can you get from media? There are many forms of media in our life. Media is one of the ways to communicate to give out information to the society. Media may be good but media also may be bad. It depends on how you use it.
This is what I think about media use in our daily lives. We can't escape media because we will eventually encounter with any kind of media wherever we go. Take me for example, I wake up everyday with the sound of the radio and television. Newspaper on the table, Twitter on my phone. We tend to live up with these kinds of media to get us updated with what's happening around us. Not only in Malaysia but also worldwide.
Media is very important to the human beings yet can be very dangerous. Let me give you a clear image of the quote above. Nowadays, kids tend to follow what they see on TV or the internet. They already have their mind sets by the media. Skinny is beautiful, violence is cool, losing their virginity at a young age is normal. Some of them tend to be extra rebellious because of what media has given them.
Well, that is one of he downside of media use. Despite the fact that media makes the kids think that way, media also has given us a lot. We get informations from media. We learn from media. Even if it's just a little yet we learn something from it. We get better point of views from it. Worldwide. Internationally.
So, to sum it all up media is very important. In my opinion, I don't think we can survive without them. Without them, we will be ignorance about our surroundings and what's happening to the world.
