Summary
We have been talking a lot about the negatives of the media but we should not forget the positives. This article includes many of the luxuries that the media has to offer. It mentions that the media has really expanded our knowledge on certain national and international topics. Without the media, all of our knowledge would take place in our intermediate neighborhood. It also talks about how the news can project certain emergencies before they happen and can give people warnings. They can tell a certain city about a hurricane warning and tell them to evacuate immediately. The media can also give us many how to’s. They can tell us how to cook our favorite pie and how to build a swing set. The media can also feed us information about certain politicians and political views. Although some of these are biased, they are better then the amount we would be getting without the media. Overall the media can have a good effect on our society.
Response
I agree with this article about the positives of the media. The media can tell us about the history, the present, and predictions for the future. We must not forget the most important reason for media, entertainment. Media can be very enjoyable and gives us all a break from our hard lives. We get to learn about other parts of the world and have the ability to watch some of our favorite characters. Although the media has been criticized greatly, we must all recognize the positives.
