Recent research has shown that media like the Internet and TV have a greater influence over people's lives than politicians. Which do you consider to be the greater influence?
Recently, a social issue related to
media
and politicians
which brings bigger influence
has been widely discussed. Some argue that politicians
play a more important role in citizens. As far as technology and globalization are concerned, I strongly hold that media
have a greater influence
over people
's lives
.
To begin
with, with the development of technology, media
have been spread over people
's lives
. No matter children or adults get information from various kinds of media
. it would influence
people
's minds significantly. For instance
, children who like watching violent programs may commit violent crimes. In addition
, nowadays, individuals can watch many programs from other countries with different cultures. An unknown culture may attract a person strongly because people
usually ignore the programs with a culture that is
familiar to them. Just like my neighbour Yu Qian, who is very interested in the culture of Japan.
It is undeniable that policies
are enacted to discipline the lifestyles of residents. However
, politicians
know that they would be opposed by residents if the policies
change people
's lives
too much. So the majority of policies
just influent a small part of people
or have a slight influence
over our lives
. For example
, the Chinese government banned mining online several months ago. It just influent the miners' lives
instead
of most of the citizens'. On the other hand
, policies
lack drama so a few people
will pay attention to politicians
.
In conclusion, media
is playing a significant role in our daily life at present. they have a bigger influence
over citizens' lives
than politicians
