How do you use the media? What is its
importance to you? Its purposes? How are teenagers portrayed in the media?
I use the media for a variety of
things such as watching television series, movies, talking to my
friends/family, playing games, homework and many other things. The media is
very important to me because I use the media everyday for majority of my day. I
use it for talking to my friends, research, watching movies and shows,
listening to music and online shopping. For me, without media life would be
very hard because media has made a lot of things easier for us such as research
for school. We can find a wide range of things with just the click of a button.
The media has many purposes in someone’s
life because media is the most popular form of communication nowadays; it gives
us the news and tells us what is going on around us and around the world, to
deliver information about something, online shopping and advertising but media
also comes with it’s downsides such as spreading false information. Teenagers
are portrayed in the media as materialistic, popular, pretty, naïve, dramatic
and sometimes infatuated. Even though these elements can be true sometimes,
most of the time a typical teenager’s life isn’t like this. Hardly ever does
the media show teenagers doing their work and having a social life. Most of the
time it’s just about the teenager’s social life and the teenager having fun
while in reality we have to balance school work and our social life. Also, the
media does not show some of the challenges we teenagers face and sometimes the
media causes our challenges.
