From the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep we are surrounded by different types of media. Today it has become the norm to have a cell phone, TV, and laptop all of which keep us in tune with media. It seems that we cannot escape the strength media has over our lives. It seems that it has now become a way of life for many, especially our generation. Although this may be true I don't believe it is a bad thing because it gives us multiple view points on multiple topics. No longer to we just have opinions from people in this country but we also get opinion from everyone else in the world. I feel like now we can choose and ignore which values and beliefs fit us. For example, I read an article from New York on the topic of President Obama's reelection and how they (the writers) were looking forward to it. However, I also found an article from Texas a state that most voted for Governor Romney in which it stated that we were going to suffer another 4 years thanks to the Obama administration. This shows how even in our on country we have different worldview on the same topic. We also see from this that people have different values which are represented from each candidate during the election. All in all media has both been a positive and a negative to our values and worldviews but as critical thinkers we must stop and thinking about what benefits our future.
