The media affects society through multiple ways rather it be a book a TV show or just a normal Sunday paper.

Have we lost our society where do we stand at with our young generation? Everywhere we look the problem is there; violence is in our eye sight; in the streets, playgrounds, school, and even in our own back yards at home. Even if one might “try to” cover violence up, the problem will seep its way into our homes through the television. Some children that see violence on television are pulled into its harmful deception of problem -solving. The young teenager believes that this is the way life should be like on T.V.
The ideals that are portrayed through the media are, to me, the most pressing issues today. Through television, radio, magazines, and newspapers, negative messages are being presented to the world's youth. Though some of these media outlets are intended to raise awareness of some problems, most have the opposite effect. Bad behavior, poor body image, drug and alcohol use, lack of morals, and violence is becoming "normal" in society. I have seen, first hand, that high school students are becoming desensitized to things that are truly horrible.
Fact: The Media's Influence on Violence in Society "...the media help create and continuously reinforce the "social scripts" that adolescents act out in their daily lives. Much of what goes on in entertainment (movies and TV) is a reflection of what goes on in the news; the media echo messages young people hear at school - in particular, themes of violence and sex are constantly reinforced" - John Merrow, 1999. Introduction Violence in our society, perpetrated by criminals, mentally unstable and easily influenced individuals produce effects that are more far-reaching and destructive to society than the physical damage they produce.

The worst thing is for a child that has to sit there and watch somebody else such as their father abuse the mother. The media shows that there are a lot of children across the world suffer the consequences of violence in their homes, in their schools, and in their community.

The history of the cognitive development approach to moral education is becoming an increasingly popular topic in the fields of psychology and education due to regular news reports showing children attacking teachers, murdering parents, children’s gangs, and many more horrible crimes. Hence, the news doesn’t show the other side of the coin. Most children, do follow the rules most of the times, act fairly, treat friends kindly, tell the truth and respect others. Children are actually born with several inborn responses which predispose them to act in ethical ways. Empathy is part of our native endowment as humans.
These are questions that revolve around us in our everyday lives. This prejudice and injustice is perpetuated by media propaganda, films and society. Today’s society is faced with many of these social issues. Generations have passed by and yet till now, many people from youth to local citizens and to religious preachers, all have stood on that stage and with their voice, have inspired and motivated others. What makes them distinctive is their ultimate strive for a purpose to change.
