Some people say the media affect negative things on this society. People from various ways of life may have different ideas. However, I firmly believe that the media give us more positive impacts than negative influence because they provide a lot of educational contents as well as people can share all kinds of news through the media.
To begin with, the media offer people great educational information. It is much more interesting and effective to learn something through the media than books or words from the teacher as it can be visualized. Consider my experience as an example. When I was in high school I did not like history class much. It is because there were a lot to memorize on it. The other day, I happened to watch a documentary movie about Germany history. It showed Nazi era and the unification of Germany. I was extremely excited, but at the same time disappointed at myself about why I was not interested in world history at school. At the point, I was thinking that if I had been taught it with this video I could have been interested in the subject. In this regards, the media has affected positive way to provide educational contents more easily.
On top of that, we can share all the news with all people in the world. It has lots of advantages for us. A number of people have not only lost their habitats but also died with famine. We know about it through the media and can give a hand them through another media. Take Syria as an example. Nowadays, there is a big issue about refugees and many people are willing to help them. As a result, the refugees found the place in which they stayed and did not need to be worried about meals against hunger. Without the media, it would not happen.
To sum up, even though there are some negative sides on the media, I strongly believe that it has positive rather than negative because of the reasons mentioned above. |
