“The Power of Media and Information, and the Responsibility of the Users.”

Media has evolved through the years making people's life easier. One of the most effective use of
media is on communication. Media plays a significant role in sharing information across the globe.
Media keeps people aware and updated on important events and happenings. But in other hand,
media also has it's advantages and disadvantages. Different forms and types of media are can be
found everywhere , as a result we can easily access information with just one click. But using social
media has it's downside. Media can affect a person in a negative way. People's opinion and
thoughts can be limited in medias. Although you can share your thoughts freely, you can still
experience judgements and harsh comments on your opinion. A person can experience
cyberbullying. Another downside in media is that sometimes it provides us with fake and unreliable
information.

The power of media and information and the responsibility of the users
Media is considered as one of the most powerful tools in providing information to people or in
society. Media is part of our daily lives. It informs, influences, and entertains us. Not only they
inform us, they have also the capability in shaping our lives. Advertisements shown on television or
even in the internet can affect the viewers. Some contains violence, nudity or anything that is
inappropriate to the viewers who are children or under age. They might think the information on
that certain advertisement is correct without proper guidance from the parents. In the internet,
there is no censorship when it comes to information resulting to some users to take this as an
advantage to spread false information all over the web.

We must turn ourselves as responsible users. Media has two sides, the positive and the negative. It
can help us but it has the capability to destroy us. But It all depends on us. If we let them continue
to do those negative things, we are only letting them play our lives. They also help in the positive
linkage between government and the people. On the other hand, mass media can at times have a
negative influence. Images in the media can have a powerful influence on our behavior. Movies,
another form of mass media, today may show violence in one form or another. Images of violence
somehow influence individuals and especially the younger generation to think that violence is
accepted by society when it is not. Movies can also be used to show sexual images. Such images
have a powerful influence on the mind and soul of young people. People who watch these images
may be influenced to react in a socially unacceptable or even criminal manner. “With power comes
with great responsibility.” The role of the media in the contemporary society is difficult to
overestimate. They have become a considerable part of our life. They report about various aspects
of life, form and affect public opinion.
