What are some mass-media effects and mass media messages and the impact on society?
Mass media messages have many mass media effects and have a huge impact on our society today. No matter what type of media it is, whether it’s TV, magazines or even radio they all affect us. These effects can be positive however there’s more of a negative impact media brings on our society. Some of the positives could be if they discuss the danger of certain things such as the problems with the Toyota cars, or even storm updates from the news. These are examples of the positive side of media because they keep our society safe.
However media messages can bring so much negativity into our lives. Some it only affects slightly, but some dramatically. For example, the way woman and even men are portrayed in the media. It makes young girls and boys think they need to look a certain way to be “normal”. This could be something as little as buying new clothes, to something more dramatic like eating disorders or plastic surgery. Yes, mass media messages can impact our society in a positive way; however it seems to be more common for them to just put out negative messages.
