Mass Media: The Positives

Tripod. "Mass Media: The Positives." 11 October 2009 http://11061106.tripod.com/id5.html


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.

  1. Media sure has many positives and negatives.
    I personally think that there are more positives than the negatives. With medias, I can find out when my favorite books will be published and read reviews of books and movies. I also hear about the news through internet news websites. Our life is great since we have internet!! (I think)

  2. I like this article as it points out the other side we don't always point out. The media truly is a positive in all of our lives. It supplies so much information in way we find pleasing. Which is why we love to view media. Without the media I think a lot of us would be lost in this world and never be updated. We would also have to work a lot harder to get all the information the media supplies for us. Overall, the media is a big positive.
