In today’s society mass communications is a very big part of everyday life. There is always something new going on in the world rather it be good or bad. With out mass communication life would be a mystery in the world. Mass Communications informs the worlds of troubles such as new diseases and how to keep from getting them, or server weather problems such as hurricanes. They also inform you on music that will be coming out or new movies that will be playing theaters. Without mass communications I know I would go crazy not knowing who won the football and basketball games during the year. The media keeps us informed as well as entertained with television and radio broadcast for people of all ages, gender, and ethnic background. Some things in the media I feel should not be put in there such as killings and robberies. These things show the youth a life style they should not have. An example of this is like when Michael Vick went to jail for dog fighting it showed kids of new things that they might try to do because their favorite athlete is doing it. Also something’s further escalate problems even worse like in our local news drug users were stealing air conditioning parts from church air conditionings. When the media put it on the news more cases began to pop up making it worse because they gave them the idea they could do it too. The media has its goods a bad but today’s society needs it to know what is going on. How would we know who to vote for without the media? When the presidential election was going on no one would have heard any of the debates or speeches from the candidates unless they were actually there. Also how would we have known who won, we would have had to wait until papers made it to our select areas just to find out who our president was. So in conclusion the mass media is important in today’s society. We use it for knowledge and information, and also entertainment.
