Is it ok to blame some of our world problems on the media? I think yes. Throughout the years we as humans can’t seem to get along with each other. We’re constantly having problems and conflicts, either among us or with other countries. Just when things seem to be getting better and problems seem to a close end- BAM! Things worsen and the faith for hope collapses. Why does this occur? The mass media, that’s why.Although the media does provide us with helpful information at the same time it influences how we behave with each other. Sometimes instead of helping us solve our problems it influences them in a bad way and worsens them. This is especially true when it comes to diplomatic relations with other countries. Instead of cooperating towards peace and unity, the media sometimes accomplishes the opposite and stirs things up into a huge mess. Other times the media distorts our learning. It "teaches" us about events in the past to its own advantage. We believe these facts to be true and grow up believing these things and base our values off of these. However, the media sometimes biases history and we might not even know about it.
