Would you say that the media contributes to todays misery?

The media as we know it today has been the trademark for propaganda.  It encourages  destructive individuals to promote questionable morals. Oddly questionable morals is when someone is promoting a behavior that otherwise would have been strange but since the masses on social media approve of it then it’s acceptable.Unfortunately, the main target of this growing corruption is our youth, who are being groomed into inhuman creatures. It even controls & manipulates the way they think, feel, & even treat others. Children of this age have been forced to grow up & stomach aspects of life they shouldn’t even have to process yet. People are over-considerate of stranger’s opinions. Everyone wants to be the Majority. 

Why The Media?

The media may have been suggested as a tool of control, because of its worldwide use & the progression of this world’s social and communication systems. It can be used to voice opinions, national insight, & majority trends. These attributes selectively grant the media the potential to control. 

• “ Over the last decade, this theory has been borne out by a large body of research linking teenagers’ use of social media with increased teen depression. These studies show that the frequency of a teen’s use of social media has a clear correlation to their mental health. For example, in a 2018 study, 14- to 17-year-olds who used social media seven hours per day were more than twice as likely to have been diagnosed with depression, treated by a mental health professional, or taken medication for a psychological or behavioral issue during the last year. This was compared to those who used screens only about an hour a day. “ – source: Newport Academy

How Does it Affect the Youth? 

Usually, in order to keep up with friends & others around them, people keep up with majority trends & opinions. It influences their morality, interests, goals, etc. Everyday children ages 3 and above exposed to the media are in danger & are naive targets to harmful movements with eerie motives. Even with filtered content it’s highly probable that they could encounter “ignorant material”. The mental strain alone is detrimental. The psych of its victims has been obliterated.  

• “But the impact of social media on youth can also be significantly detrimental to mental health. In particular, social media and teen depression are closely linked. Furthermore, overuse of the apps exposes teens to cyberbullying, body image issues, and tech addiction, and results in less time spent doing healthy, real-world activities. And while the majority of parents believe they know what their child is posting on social media, according to a Pew Research poll, a survey of teens found that 70 percent of them are hiding their online behavior from their parents.” – source: Newport Academy
