The
media
Use synonyms
 is a crucial element in our daily life. And in modern society, the
media
Use synonyms
 has much more impact on our thinking with the rise of social
media
Use synonyms
. Some even claim that it is impossible to eliminate the effects of the
media
Use synonyms
. In the following, I argue that it is not the case. It is true that the
media
Use synonyms
 is powerful to influence people's minds and to think today.
In particular

, social
media
Use synonyms
,
such

 as Facebook and Twitter, by their secret algorithm, can control which content users read.
For instance

, they can selectively deliver messages,
such

 as speeches of specific politicians, to their users. In
this

 way, the
media

 holders seemingly can affect people's political attitudes to

 their own interests.
However
Linking Words
, I argue that there are ways to resist the
media

's impact. One way is by education. School teachers can design courses to strengthen students'
media

 literacy. In the lessons, teachers can critically examine the content given by the
media

 with their students. By doing so, teachers can let students understand that information from the
media
Use synonyms
 may not be correct or with bias and realize that they should not entirely believe in those messages. Apart from that, governments can formulate
laws
Use synonyms
 to restrict the operation of the
media
Use synonyms
. More specifically, these
laws
Use synonyms
 can request social
media
Use synonyms
 to disclose their secret algorithm to a certain extent. These
laws

 can
also
Linking Words
 empower the government's rights to monitor the
media

.
For instance
Linking Words
, the government can investigate the relationship between the
media

 holders and the politicians. By doing so, the
media
Use synonyms
 cannot freely manipulate which messages be delivered to their users just by their own interests. In short, I agree that the
media
Use synonyms
 has a great impact on us, though I contend that there are still various ways,
such
Linking Words
 as by education and by formulation of
laws
Use synonyms
, to prevent the
media
Use synonyms
 completely from taking over our minds and thinking.
