Based on the presented quote in “Media
and Society,” I can easily agree with the authors’ point. Media has
become the go-to source for information among today’s youth. Media is
just a more convenient and fun information delivery system. Today’s
youth can quickly pull up headlines on their smartphones during their
social studies classes in school! They’re paying more attention an
electronic device then their teacher. This is something I’m guilty of
myself. It also brings puts education and religion in the backseat. Many
people are consistently bored with schooling and just want to get out
in the world and work. With the help of the media and education, the
scientific method is influencing people’s lives more and more every day.
Many now see religion as an outdated way of scaring people and
controlling them. In many ways the private corporations and government
have taken over scaring and controlling the public with media.
