In our present media trend, it is widely considered by a section of people that the reports of mass media highly follow the negative issues compared to the positive changes in the society. It has tremendous detrimental effects on our community where we live in. In my opinion, I do believe that the media is highlighting on crime, violence, rape, anarchy, political and social unrests and so on, rather positive changes. On the one hand, it is evident that whenever we open the newspapers, television channels, radio or any social media, the number of crime and emergencies are more than around 70 percents and rest others are neutral and positive reports. Nowadays, a big proportion of people around the world are more violent and aggressive to commit crime and earn money and fame.
