Media influences everything. It can be used in extremely negative ways, or it can be used in extremely positive ways. All of this depends on what type of ideas the media tells us and who listens to these ideas. Teens are usually the demographic that television stations attempt to reach because there are so many of them. At times teen’s actions are influenced by television. A teenage mind is like a blank open book, whatever and whoever can go in and write on it. This can be media, friends, television, music and many other things. The link above is to an article that talks about how a boy saved his little sister who had drowned in the pool by performing CPR, which indecently he had learned how to perform by watching tv. Television has done many things in society a few of which are informing teens about the world around them, caused childhood obesity, and provided entertainment. Not all of these effects of television are good things, but it cannot be denied that television has influenced today’s society.
