I would definitely say that Comedy Central's Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report are part of the "media" that affects people’s opinion. These television shows are a way to provide comedic relief to the issues our economy faces; however, these shows still have an impact of how the viewer will understand an issue at hand. It is very difficult for anyone to be completely unbiased and with constantly hearing other people’s opinion through the media. We cannot make a decision of how “we” feel about the topic. Thus, democracy and a fair voting group become tainted.
So in that way they are giving up part of themselves to become part of a whole. They are giving up their beliefs and customs in order to conform to what others feel is right. So they lose the important part that makes them, in order to make it easier for other people, because they cannot handle the differences of their culture and the majority group. Assimilation has been considered a negative topic over time. Professor Richard Alba of the University of New York asked a group of Harvard students about what they thought about assimilation.
One point he addresses is this generation focuses too much with online sites and needs to approach things as they did in the past. They need to approach situations by involving themselves physically and not online. Another point Friedman discusses is that the rising generation is putting themselves out there by exploring the world, and helping others. Finally, a third point he addresses is that “Generation Q” needs to be worried on problems from the past generation, “the Greediest Generation” (Friedman 8). If “Generation Q” does not approach and pay any attention to some of the issues from the past generation, people in the youth are going to waste most of their lives “digging out from the deficits” left behind from the previous generation (Friedman 8).
New generation likes to use social media as self advertisement and sometime they share very personal information. By doing this, their future privacy fells endanger and can affect badly in their mind in future which is not a good thing for the society, widely for the nation. Also, social media is hurting our society by spreading misinformation faster than any other media. Author Amanda Thomas shows a statistics in the
It would be very prejudicial and people would stop caring for who you care and just look at what your hereditary traits say. In my opinion, this movie portrays very effectively what our society would come to if this happened. It is very sad to see how technology can destroy human nature just because people seek a god-like perfection that is actually
Social issues A major social issue in my generation is technology such as cell phones, computers, tablets etc… The 2000’s is mainly based off of social media like the wide spread of “My Space and other cites that connect you with people around the world. I think we all spend way too much of our time entertaining other people. Social media is not being used in the right way, which I think its harming people. Certain things should be monitored more closely especially pertaining to people of a younger age group. All of this technology is really hurting people and not actually helping them.
The human mind, as powerful as it is, gets tarnished daily by the use of technology. Thinking for oneself has become a sporadic concept, and many, without realizing it, go straight to technology for answers to their questions without first consulting their most powerful tool they possess which sits right behind their eyes. Technology has the ability to help people in many ways in fields such as medicine, academics, and sports; however, digital technologies also have several negatives to go along with its positives. The internet is both distracting from priorities, decreases the likelihood that one thinks for himself, and modify humans’ lives altogether. Technology has the power to prevent humans from using their critical thinking skills.
This is a popular act of crime because of its traceability; new ways have been introduced to make your online presence untraceable, invisible and anonymous, which leaves you thinking. Should I really be leaving all my personal information online or, “in the cloud”.This allows a younger, smarter, more intelligent generation to rebel freely without their actions being traced to them which is becoming increasingly dangerous as this trend is
Jena Saucier 3/5/2013 Negatives of Love Online In today’s society, more people are choosing to find love over the internet, whether it be a dating website or Facebook. There are many negative consequences to looking for love online. Such as no visual communication, false identities and how much time it takes up from one’s personal life. One reason why people shouldn’t find love online is because you never really know is on the other side of the screen. There have been cases where teens meet people over the internet and have an online relationship, but when they end up meeting it isn’t exactly who they thought it would be.
They’re many pros to our worlds technology but at the same time my cons. In our world because of technology we become lazy in everything we do because we rely on the internet to do the work for us and we also become obese due to all the games we’d rather play than enjoy fresh air. Technology is an amazing world of its own but if we over use it becomes a problem. Whatever happened to dictionaries or actual book, now all of those are offered off an app or the computer? Back when cell phones were barely around, when we did stuff ourselves.
