is the media the reason of this generations corrupt society
Miley Cyrus and her annoying antics, Justin Bieber and his League of Lunatics, and One Direction fans with their ongoing documentaries on how desperate they are to meet five untalented singers…. We have heard it all before. However, do you see how the parents strive to make their children's corrupted dreams come true? Do you see how they try to get their daughter's approval while she is socializing online? And is this really the fault of the media?

First of all, the internet has become so advanced that people can interact with each other with a click of a button. Our society is disintegrating around us, while we ignore our parents when playing video games or texting people. Many parents believe that these items are privileges, not necessities and we should honor our parents and not take advantage of them.
Secondly, people waste countless hours of their lives trying to see what famous people are doing. They are thus missing out on things that happen in reality by “celebrity watching”.
“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity” Albert Einstein predicted that in the future, our society would be hypnotised by cellular devices. He is correct. In this day and age, we cannot survive without televisions or cell phones. If Einstein predicted this in the past, what will happen in the future? “If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger.” Frank Lloyd Wright proposed that humans will start waste all parts of their bodies apart from their “Trigger Finger”. At this rate, it looks like this will be the case. You must be thinking “Why on earth would anyone do that?”However, knowing the 21st century, it’s bound to happen. If having “swag” means wearing jeans lower and taking pictures in bathrooms, I’d rather wear my jeans up to my belly button and never dare take a picture of myself.

    What would we do without cell phones? Have you ever tried to leave your phone at home just to see how much it’s really needed in your everyday life? I have and it’s a lot harder than you think. Technology has grown so much in the past ten years then you would ever know. From little black and white flip phones to tablets with apps, games, music and pretty much anything you could ever want just in the palm of your hand. In 1973 the first cell phone was invented, and it took twenty-two years after that, 1995, to invent text messaging. Now it seems as though text messaging is among the most popular way of communication. Although texting and phone calls aim to accomplish the same task, they both have their differences. Texting can be quick and easy, saves you time and battery life and lastly, it keeps all conversations private from the public. Calling makes conversations feel more personal and professional, takes less time to explain what needs to be done and saves on your monthly bill.…

    Often, people fail to remember that celebrities are just humans like everyone else. Fans put celebrities on a pedestal, idolizing them perhaps realizing it or not realizing it. If a favored celebrity makes a decision, children all across America may feel the need to make the same decision, regardless if it is morally a good or bad idea.75% of young adults idolize celebrities and consider them role models (Shaw et al. 577). This is an issue due to the heavy amount of influence a celebrity’s decision may bring to young viewers and that can impact young viewers. For example, research found that listening to explicit music can bring abrasive and harsh actions. Likewise, being consumed with a celebrity and their actions can cause people to alter and change their own behavior to resemble the celebrity more accurately (Shaw et al. 576). Celebrity obsession can cause a young admirer to make negative behavior decisions such as drug abuse or developing an eating disorder.…

    On the other hand, texting can be great and beneficial in some situations. I’ve been in some situations where it was easier to send a text message. At my church I either play the piano or I’m in the sound booth doing the Media for service. From the sound booth to the platform, it’s at least one hundred feet or more. There have been occasions where people on the platform and sound booth needed to tell each other something about the sound or some other situation. It was easier and faster to send a text message to each other rather than trying to read facial expressions or hand signals.…
