View from the Media

I think that the media reinforces my views on celebrities. I think that the in our society today individuals are too into the celebrities. Individuals are too worried about what celebrities are doing, and how to be more like them. The media reinforces my opinion, because everyday I turn on the TV I see something about a celebrity. For example, when I go on yahoo the first article that pops up is what outfit Christina Aguilera was wearing during her performance. The media is too focused on celebrities and not the world around them. There are plenty of other things like poverty that need the exposure so more people can be aware of the problem. However, the few times I do see commercials about children in disabilities it expands my views. Looking at those innocent children have such horrible diseases shows me how lucky I truly am. It shows me that there are people out there that need donations, and I always text to look for a donation to donate to after watching those commercials because they make me feel so sad.

  1. I would have to agree that the media is too concerned on people rather than problems that are currently affecting society. Every time I go on the internet or the television it’s talking about celebrities. It’s always gossip on the media, always talking about how one is cheating on the other or how one wore a hideous outfit. I wish there could be more information on what problems going on around the world. The media is a sketchy place to get information because you never know what is true or what is false. At times media is helpful but never depend on their information.

  2. I would have to agree also that the media is too concerned on people rather than problems that are affecting the world and society as a whole. I hear more about Kim Kardashin than I do about the president or anything that actually matters in this world. Now a days the celebrity population is overtaking the news just for nosey people to know what is going on with a certain couple or actor. The media needs to change this soon as possible.
