Some people feel that the media influences social behavior, while others feel it simply mirrors it. Discuss both points of view and give your opinion.

Few people believe that social behaviour is affected by the media, while others think it simply reflects it. The essay will

firstly

discuss how it influences social attitude of people,

then

secondly

if it only mirrors it. In my opinion, media affect social conduct of people as well as mirrors it. Things which are shown in the media are imitated by people, whether good or bad.

This

kind of exposure is not good in some cases.

For example

, the bad actions of people shown on TV shows, etc. Is for entertainment purpose, but some people inculcate

such

act in their real life which make them socially bad. Another example is reality shows, they can change the way public behave as they have a lot of drama, people might try to adapt that in day to day life with their own family and friends.

However in

Accept comma addition

However, in

other cases there is

also

good influence of media on the social behaviour of people. Like, watching good programs improve the social behaviour of people.

Accept comma addition

Also, another

topic which affects social attitude of people is social media. It has resulted in a lot of negative impact on a few people's minds. They feel a constant need to be in a competition with others which is a negative thing. Sometimes they forget to enjoy the moment itself in order to present it through photos and videos properly on social media. Social media

also

mirrors the social attitude of people,

for instance

crime shows which reflects people's nature and indeed helps in creating awareness. In conclusion, I think that media affects as well as reflects the nature of people. Too much bad media can affect social conduct negatively.
