Media Experiences
Media has had a huge impact on my outlook of things and somewhat life. Media usually only shows us the wrong doing or negative news on the world. One of the biggest examples that comes to my mind is the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most americans do not really understand or know why we are over there in a war. The media has shaped the viewing impression that we need to get out and bring our troops back. I am all for bring our troops back but the military needs to accomplish what they went their for first or else every life lost and dollar spent would be wasted. Another example is how the media "tells" us how to look for the opposite sex. There is no exact way someone should look, everyone is different and has different traits that attract them. Younger teens I feel are most susceptible to this media frenzy and this needs to change.

I agree with you that the media is always concerned about the negative. Usually, when I turn on the TV and the news is on I always see negative things happening in the world. IT is more popular and interesting to hear about the bad things in the world. People are always more interested in the bad things that happen. Usually the good deed is always expected. The news always shows the negative things that are happening right now. For example, when I turned on the TV the first thing that was on was the news about how a black man got shot by a police for no apparent reason. People are interested with these articles that is why the social media is filled with it.
