Your true colors


Media, it consists of lots of different things, media can be the tv, radio, magazine, newspapers songs, and more, lets just say that everyone is affected by the media whether they know it or not. These days media is everywhere, what ever you hear mostly comes from media,the news, the internet and more. Ways that media has improved over time is that a message can be halfway across the world and can be sent in 2 minutes and thats due to the improvement of media throughout the years. Back then people didnt have access to the internet or the TV, messages were hard to be sent from place to place, but recently its been very easy to send a message through various different ways. New ways that people contact each other on a daily basis is MSN, Face book, My space,, skype ect. all these are free for everyone around the world, so instead of wasting money people could talk, send pictures and web cam for free which is really helpful. There are types of media that can be useless and harmful, like the Tv movies, that encourage bad and harmful things. media is a both bad and good, helpufull, and hatefull, there are types of people that believe and encourage media, and some that are against it.


Why... a question asked frequently, why am i fat, why am i ugly, why can't I be beautiful, people ask themselves this question all the time. Why? well everyone wants to be beautiful, and media helped create and show the image of beautiful, media shows that in order to be beautiful you have to be tall, and thin and attractive. well, media has corrupted peoples brains, no you dont have to have all those characteristics. Beautiful comes from the inside, from the heart, you cant judge a book by its cover, you have to see the inside. I think that media has done damage to people all around, its a problem when little girls think that they need makeup at the age of 5 or that they are too fat, its an issue that has spread everywhere and left a mark.

People, especially woman think that they have to hold an image for the public, and that they have to be perfect and look perfect, well who doesnt everyone wants to be admired and told their beautiful, that's true, but people started going to extreme measures. Its a problem when a woman thinks that shes overweight when she weighs 110 pounds. As you can see this is happening all around the world, people are suffering from diseases like anorexia and bulimia. Why would someone want to starve themselves, WHY. well media can answer that question "looks" are starting to define a person and how they look so people are doing everything they can to fit this stereotype and can't stop. "just another two pounds and ill look perfect" and after the two pounds another and another, "I'm not perfect enough". A person should be perfect for themselves and not others, everyone's perfect is different, but everyone's perfect should be reasonable

  1. i would be very interested to learn of some specific examples. you make some very general statements. get specific. don't tell your audience that the media is bad. prove it with examples. there are plenty out there to choose from. good luck! ;)
