The media is corrupting our society. Do You agree?


We as a modern society have developed a basic reasoning pattern: when something happens it is never our fault, therefore it must be blamed on someone else. We try to find a 'scapegoat' that we can blame all of our problems on, so that we no longer have to take responsibilty for them. In the modern society, the media has become this 'scapegoat' especially when the topic is youth violence and youth issues.

Critics may argue that advertisement has drastic impact on youths. This is evident from the rate females teens are consuming pills inorder to look as close as their idols. Such specific illustrations are a handful to rebutt any claims that media is not responsible for corrupting society.

However, a question the critics should ponder over, ' Are you implying that humans are simpleton that could be manipulated easily, just like you?'


Well, the fact that some dont get influenced or corrupted by media is a clear indication that the possibilty of being rational exists. and highlight that those who are susceptible to media are mentally wrong, and not push the blame to media.
