Mil Reaction Paper

Social media plays a crucial role in modern society, with over 2.65 billion users worldwide. However, spending too much time on social media can have negative impacts. It can become a distraction, leading people to spend less time on other important activities. The media also negatively affects youth, promoting unrealistic body standards and prejudice gender roles. It influences young girls' self-image and causes them to focus overly on physical appearance. To counter these effects, people need to be more critical of media and limit excessive social media use.

IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA

In today's society, Social Media plays a crucial role in our life. With an estimated 2.65 billion people
were using social media worldwide, It becomes our instrument to communicate easily with other people
even though they're far. Most of the time, it became our source of entertainment. We spend too much
of time using it that leading to have a negative implications to us. We must limit ourselves regarding of
using it. We must ask ourselves if it's worth it of our time because Charles Leadbeater once said that you
are what you share.

Media is everywhere. Most of the people using social media are the teenagers. Traditionally, news
papers were the most common used of media but today's generation, the technology evolved. We
already have cellphones, laptops, tablets and other electronic devices that have taken over all forms of
communication. Young people or i must say the youth depend their everyday life on the media, on how
they are going to move, what are the trend fashions, the latest gadget etc. They didn't know the media
already controlled their lives. The “How the Media Affects Youth” presented by Oda Faremo Lindholm
showed the negative affects of media on our youth today. In this talk she also discussed prejudice
gender roles in media effects the generation of youth. And she said that the girls are more conscious in
their life because of the media, what is the perfect ideal of man in every girls, the perfect body shapes
that affects their self-image. For example, the young girls today are so much focus on how are they
going to have a perfect body shape because they saw that young boys and older men idolize the famous
artist Ivana Alawi for having the perfect body shape. And also, they are conscious on their physical
apperances, they want to be beautiful like Liza Soberano because admit it or not, the physical image is
the basis on how they are going to treat you and it's bias, it's unfair to someone who's not beautiful as
others but have a beautiful heart. And with that we can see how media affects the youth especially the
young girls. And at the end, she said that they need to teach us to be critical about what we are going to
read or see especially on the internet.

I realized that i should be more intelligent regarding on how i will going to use medias. It has
advantage to us but it also has negative effects that sometimes we can't see it's already a distraction.
We should not let media control us like a giant remote control. We must think deeply if it's already bad
on ourselves or not. And i also realized that media can be used as a weapon/instrument or stepping
stone depending on how one uses it. We shouldn't let media shape us on something we wouldn't
wanted to be rather let ourselves to be free not thinking the other people. Everyone needs to watch this
talk to open their eyes and to think wisely about the media.
