In the contemporary era, people are living in an environment with full of media. It is believed by some people that o

the owners

of media can affect citizens' attitude and opinion via manipulating the

content

broadcasted on air and there is little for ordinary citizens to do to correct it. I personally disagree with that and the essay will discuss about my disagreement.

Firstly

,

although

media tycoons have the capacity to manipulate the

content

broadcasted on their TV stations or magazines, people are individual creatures and possess personal values. Their personal values and attitudes are nurtured mainly by their cultures, family backgrounds, and education they receive.

For example

, in China, news and entertainment shows are required to be inspected by the Chinese government in order to control the thought of Chinese citizens.

However

, p

.

In addition

, there are countless of tycoons in p

view

might create debates among readers or audiences. Once the readers or audiences are well-educated, it is difficult to rectify personal opinions in terms of their background and education level.

As a result

, they might discard the negative m

a communication (usually brief) that is written or spoken or signaled

messages

from the tycoons which are against their personal values or wills.

Therefore

, it is difficult for the press to manipulate citizens, especially the well-educated ones. In conclusion, media tycoons have their capacities to control the broadcasted

content

.

However

, it is a tough task for them to manipulate people's thoughts or views because people have their own personal values and attitudes, especially well- educated scholars.

Therefore

, providing education to citizens since young age will promote strong individual views and will not be affected by media broadcasted contents.
