"How do Media affects our values?

"The dictionary defines media as all the means of communication, as newspapers, radio, and TV, that provide the public with news, entertainment, etc., usually along with advertising. Essentially, that means almost anything can be media as long as it is watched."

Media/technology plays a vital role to the change of today’s value system whether it is right or wrong actually depends upon the person using it or being exposed to it. For example when a child or anybody else was exposed to malicious acts and improper ones using the internet, since these kinds of things are sometimes unavoidable and rampant, there’s a big chance that that person might be influenced to do the same. And there the decline of the moral codes our ancestors strives hard to imprint to us will start. For over the years since media became known many people has used it to dupe and cheat others. Granted that you can make a lot of friends from across the world because of so many social sites but, could you tell that the person you’re talking to is a good influence to you?
