Introducing Media
There are many ways in which a person can come across some type of media form these can include waking up and listening to the radio, playing a walkman/iPod, watching television/film, going past a billboard on the street. It is seen that people are getting manipulated into buying products through advertising and this is mainly because of the persuasive text that they are seeing through the advertising such as the above. Some types of media may influence people’s behaviour in different ways and this can mean that a person can become violent over something they see from any media text, in other cases it can be seen that the media can do this is the other direction and work towards a good way.
Historical Background
What we call as “The Media” is seen as recent inventions. From the media being what it is today it is seen that people made their own entertainment through the media when the media was developed in a way as it is today this was seen that people would do things in which entertained them such as reading or socialising with others. Now that media has developed in many ways this also gives the worry to the parents or children such as they tend to play video games, portable televisions and so on this therefore means that they tend to stay and their attention is more likely to stay on these instead of going out. Good outcomes can also come from this such as people are tend to go closer because their more likely to do things together.
