Task 2

Match the statements (1-5) with what people say (a-f).

There is one statement you don’t have to use.

a) Mass media have positive influence on the society.

b) Mass media may have negative influence on young people.

c) Mass media influence the problem of healthy eating.

d) Mass media are responsible for the increase of aggression.

e) Mass media have a great power.

f) Mass media influence the shopping we do.

1. Mass media make billions of dollars advertising different goods. And we are exposed to such advertisements practically every moment. The result is predictable. We buy what we are told to buy by the media. After seeing thousands of advertisements we make our decisions based on what we see on TV.

2. Television is watched by the majority of our population. But what do we often see on the screen? Too many scenes of violence, people hurting and killing each other. We can also see a lot of blood, gun shooting etc. Physiologists say that such programmes provoke the same behaviour in real life. And they are right.

3. Many people say that due to mass media a lot of young people (and not only young) become interested in many things, such as history, literature. They watch TV programmes devoted to ecology or read some information on the Net and become aware of the danger our planet is in. Thus they begin thinking about how to help the situation and many of them turn into responsible citizens.

4. The media have a huge impact on the society in shaping the public opinion. Depending on the aim or target that is put before various types of mass media they are able to manipulate what is called the public opinion, change it in different ways or simply modify it a bit. The repeated telecast or piece of information on the Internet can be crucial.

5. The Internet offers undeniable benefits to the new generation. However, using the Internet unsafely puts teenagers at a very high risk. Boys and girls who spend too much time online tend to become cyber addicts. Cyber addiction can be as harmful as addiction to drugs or drinking alcohol. Those who spend unhealthy amounts of time on the Internet may experience distress, have mental and physical problems.
