Posts: 149 | September 28th, 2005 at 09:01am I think the media has the ability to corrupt some young people. It effects oppinions, beliefs and perspectives. For Example, someone living in a right wing catholic country is going to have different oppinions and beliefs than someone from a left wing protestant country, right? The media promotes the values of the government in power at that time, and this effects young people.
Is that a form of corruption? |

The media is minipulating facts. They make it out like the war is killing millions. When in all actuality we've lost around 2,000 troops.
But yet, no one has anything about the 2.5 million dying of aids every year, and the 16,500 alcohol related accidents that have killed people.
So true...=/
They only announce major terrorist attacks, when there are actually several a day... you're a good example of being corrupted by the media
they report every person who gets a stone thrown at them in hopes you all think there's a bomb going off every second (and never twist what some one said to fit your point) |

Posts: 51 | September 28th, 2005 at 03:54pm Media are there to inform you of the things going on in the world. Ofcourse there not going to give you the facts there going to distort things and mention more things that will get people all emotional. The thing is people do believe it because how else are they going to know whats happening in others parts of the world? Media is relied on by so many people, no-one knows whats happening so they will believe what they read, it gives them something to talk about, people love nothing more than to pretend they no what there talking about when there reciting what they read in the paper, it gives people the illusion they know whats actually going on every step of the way and people find reassurance in that. Well thats my opinion |

 | October 1st, 2005 at 03:19pm In some cases, yes. When 12 year old girls dress in clothes that barely fit your baby sister, look like they dumped a bucket of paint on their head, and go around having sex, then yes, media does affect this. However, if a kid is deeply troubled and they happen to listen to, say, My Chemical Romance, it probably doesn't have an effect. If the kid has a problem already, media has nothing to do with it. |

Posts: 2643 | October 2nd, 2005 at 07:46am yes, but i think more often than not these days people are becoming more perceptive and making more choices for themselves
still, a young person's mind is easily influenced and manipulated, it can happen |

If you have a goal to be cool and you are stupid....then you will be corrupted a lot by it....if you don't care about that stuff though then neg. it won't. i think so because look at the influences. especially the hip hop and rap world. all black guys basically think that you have to be all ghetto and do as many girls and hit on girls so much and disrespect them and its all apart of the influences of that world. i hate rap music and some hip hop because of the harsh lyrics. how can people listen to a song about a girl going to a candy shop and licking a lollipop i mean we all know what it means and the sad thing is little kids sing that crap. how can artists like 50 cent and lil jon and any other artist with exploitive lyrics do that. what do you guys think? |

I like rap and hip hop. Its fun XD
But what about trends like cutting does emo music and "the emo lifestyle" influence that?
Does music like Manson influence school shootings?
I think blaming it on songs is just a stereotype its the person who in the end will take all this seriously . Violence got more televised but you have the power to turn off your TV you dont have to watch it. This makes me think of subliminal messages :O Im just going all over the place now, i forgot my point. |

Posts: 4391 | January 24th, 2006 at 01:18am ofcourse it does. tv is like what corrupts young peopl's minds. But i dont agree with the idea that if a kid watches something violent on tv, they grow up to be a violent person. That's where they have a choice, the good side or the bad side. I learned this in this class i took in college last summer, and i totally agree with it. Do you? |

Sounds like someone's laying blame unfairly on television here.
We all like having a scapegoat, don't we?
The Tv is not 'corrupting' the minds of today's youth. Do you know how strictly and rigorously programmes are studied before being allowed to air? |
