There are those who believe that news and media are impacting our livelihoods, and others disagree. I totally disagree with the opinion because news and media can make people deceived and depressed. The main reason why I believe that news and media are harming our

life

Use synonyms

is that they have been used as an effective tool by people with power and money thorough history.

In particular

Linking Words

, from WWII, when the Nazis controlled German citizens with their detrimental propaganda, to the most recent case, when Chinese authorities hid the actual number of COVID-19 cases, media,

such

Linking Words

as newspapers and broadcasts, have been manipulated by governments.

Consequently

Linking Words

, many people have been damaged mentally and physically; many German soldiers died young for the Nazis; people in the world lost their job and normal

life

Use synonyms

because of the unprecedented virus, and corrupted media helped to hide the reality. Another reason why I support the notion that our livelihoods are being harmed by media is that they can make people depressed. In human history, the gap between the poor and the rich has existed, but exposed celebrities’ lives often make people exceptionally frustrated.

For example

Linking Words

, the daughter of a big hotel owner shows off her everyday

life

Use synonyms

extravagance wasting hundreds of fashion items. Ignoring daily effort, people might be dragged by the fancy lives of celebrities.

Therefore

Linking Words

, Mammonism and pariah capitalism, which can spoil children are overwhelming the society, and the media

also

have played an important role in

this

situation. In conclusion, I completely disagree with the opinion that news and media are making our

life

Use synonyms

positively because they are manipulative and discourage people. Given

this

situation, it seems that people should have a keen sight to differentiate true from false when they get new information from any source.
